Chapter 428 The End Corridor
The train is on the way.
Amuro is still kneeling on the ground.
The train compartment is elegant European style, with white walls without decoration, dark brown solid wood wrapped in window frames, and dark red sofa embroidered with gold thread, delicate, warm and elegant, but because of Amuro's kneeling, the whole room is awkward, the air seems to be condensing, and the sound of the wheels rolling over the rails is particularly clear.
Cha Bai's eyes are staring... Things are too abrupt, there is no reason to kneel down when meeting...
She looked at Li Nuo and found that Li Nuo's eyes were gradually cold.
Li Nuo is going crazy.
In his cognition, only he should kneel down to others, and the only person in the world who can kneel down for him is Cha Bai.
"You bastard are destroying the beauty in my heart..."
"Ah no!" Amuro panicked: "Xiao He's sudden action is beyond my expectation, so..."
"Boss is like this..." Nova appeared outside the door. This woman has scars on her face, and the scars on Li Nuo's face are the work of the "Death Corridor".
"Nova..." Amuro turned his head.
In addition to Nova, there was another muscular man at the door. His body blocked the entire door. He was nearly two meters and five meters tall, with a big beard, fat and strong, bald, wearing a suit, and holding a chocolate lollipop.
He was not friendly, but not dangerous.
"Shut up, boss... You are so embarrassing." Nova took a deep breath, looked at Li Nuo, and answered a puzzle first: "Sorry, demon hunter. A little trick, we are worried that you will kill people without saying a word."
Nova took out a small bottle with a label on it, saying "Demon Hunter's Nemesis".
"Aromatherapy, a gas specially used to block the demon hunter's sense of smell, not prepared for you."
"Phil?"
"It seems that you have met..."
Nova put away the bottle and glanced at Xiao He who was still hiding beside her. The girl was still baring her teeth because of Li Nuo's danger.
"Come here."
Nova said coldly, Xiao He took a deep breath like a frightened bird, jumped off the windowsill obediently, walked to the door like a child who had made a mistake, and said to Amuro as he passed by: "Boss... you have hurt me so much..."
Amuro whispered: "I'm sorry..."
Li Nuo glanced at Nova.
[Nova Enola: lv81]
[Strength: 255]
[Reaction: 322]
[Spiritual Power: 313]
[Constitution: 226]
[Insight: 200]
[Medical: 349]
The data is very strong, but he can only be the second in command.
Amuro, who was kneeling on the ground, was even stronger, and one level stronger.
Li Nuo took a deep breath: "Tell me...what's the matter."
Amuro raised his head, stared at Li Nuo, and said seriously: "I want to cooperate with you!"
Li Nuo: "..."
The train has left the city center. The skyscrapers outside the window are like giants retreating backwards. The sun shines on the Mule City. The pedestrians are gradually sparse. In a blink of an eye, they have arrived in the suburbs.
Li Nuo stared with dead fish eyes.
The direction of the world war has completely exceeded his expectations. At first, he thought that there would be bloodshed, so he used the big meteorite. Later, he began to think about the Church of the Undead, but he still thought that the players were the main opponents, until now...
The players don't seem to plan to fight...
"Hey..." Li Nuo glanced at Amuro sitting opposite him, and said unhappily: "Can you stop being so shy?"
Amuro looked nervous and even shy, just like his mother's son.
"Sorry...I'm going to get to the point."
Amuro paused, his face gradually eased, and became extremely serious.
"Although the script does not give us the next main task, but from the intelligence analysis of the 'Undead Church', I think if our group of players do not cooperate, we will be wiped out."
Li Nuo held his chin and looked out the window, nodding gently.
He always felt like he was wandering endlessly in the big ward.
Amuro took out a newspaper from his inner pocket very seriously, with some writing and drawing on it. It was a briefing he made.
"I analyzed the combat power of the 'Undead Church'. The ability of the cleaner is about the regular power of our players around 70. It is stronger after awakening. By the way... I am using the average combat power of our 'End' here. Please don't mind it. After all, it is really rare for the 'Endless Corridor' to have people like the two of you...ah, one ticket is hard to come by?"
Cha Bai: "It is rare and precious."
"Ah...yes, anyway, it is rare." Amuro continued: "I have seen Eta and Pippen before. You should have been looking at us with a telescope at that time, so there is no need to say more. The two..."
"Very strong." Li Nuo said: "I understand, Phil, I have also seen it, very strong, only a group of people from the 'Sky Corridor' have not seen it, but they almost wiped out another group of people on our side, which is also very strong. Everyone is equally matched. If we fight, there will be no way to end it."
"It's like this..." Amuro lowered his head: "In fact, I have to thank you for destroying 'Eternal Life' and 'Death'. If the five corridors got on the car..."
Cha Bai continued: "If all five corridors are there, the threat of the cult will be reduced a lot, and cooperation will be unnecessary."
"Yes..."
Amuro nodded.
"I have consulted with my predecessors, and according to them, there is no punishment mechanism in the world war."
He took out a white flag from his pocket.
"The white flag handed by the system can be used to surrender. The weak surrender, and the strong add the weak to their own team to execute the script. The strong take the benefits, and the weak save their lives. In fact, the difficulty of the world war comes from the script itself, not the players' fights."
Li Nuo thought of Lillian's advice. The damn president mentioned that the world war is not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships...
"Ah... So the script itself is difficult, right..."
"That's exactly what I'm worried about!" Amuro took a deep breath: "Castlevania is the theme of this script!"
Amuro slapped the table when he was excited and stared at Li Nuo. The latter felt embarrassed and moved his eyes to the window.
Silence swept over...
Until Cha Bai pulled Li Nuo's sleeve, he looked at Amuro.
"I've thought about it... It's called Castlevania, but if you break down the setting of that world, you can understand it as a 'maze' exploration and a fight between creatures from all over the 'other world'. The difficulty is unpredictable, and the cult seems to be able to summon the 'eternal world', that is, summon 'hell'."
As long as you have been exposed to things like "Border Prison", you will understand that it covers the chaos of various worlds, and all kinds of malice can appear.
Just like "Mount Creation", because of the invasion of "Border Prison", the creatures in that world have evolved in various mysterious ways.
Amuro sat down, his eyes returned to his previous cowardice.
"So, if the difficulty at the beginning is five corridors, the script must be extremely difficult. Now there are only three corridors. If you don't cooperate, you can't get through this level."
His voice is like a coward.
"I agree..."
"Really!?"
"Well..." Li Nuo nodded: "Your companions are still outside the door. If I don't agree, they will take action immediately."
Amuro: "I will stop them, please believe me... I really didn't think of attacking you."
Li Nuo said: "I don't want to make trouble before everything starts, so whatever."
Amuro took a breath, and the whole person seemed to be redeemed and collapsed on the sofa chair.
"Great..."
Li Nuo looked at him silently.
Amuro said as if talking to himself: "I'm just worried that you and Phil will fight, which will be troublesome... So the first thing I did when I got on the car was to find you."
"Is there another reason?" Li Nuo said: "Kneeling is not for cooperation, and lowering your posture is to entrust others to do things."
Amuro's expression was numb, and then he showed a helpless smile.
"You figured it out."
"Tell me, is it related to the 'Endless Corridor'?"
"Do you know Kroyd?"
Cha Bai subconsciously glanced out the window.
"Dead."
The whistle suddenly sounded.
The wheels rolled over the rails, raising dust. Outside the window was a field with water flowing by the grass, like a white line imprinted in the blue pupils, and finally interrupted by the gradually approaching woods.
"Dead..."
Amuro took a deep breath and looked at Li Nuo disappointedly.
"Yeah."
"What a pity..."
"I'm quite interested."
Hearing Li Nuo say this, Amuro told everything without thinking.
"He entered our script as an [Invader] before. Kroyd gave me a very strange obsession. He seemed to want to hold everything in his hands. He was sensitive and afraid of everything. He seemed to be a cold person on the surface, but he was actually a coward."
Very pertinent, Li Nuo agreed.
"Continue."
"He was about ten levels higher than me at the time, but I defeated him..."
Li Nuo's eyes were dull and he was not surprised at all. Amuro's answer was not outrageous at all. There was no problem that he was stronger than Kroyd.
[Amuro Wa: lv77]
[Strength: 122]
[Reaction: 196]
[Spirit: 199]
[Constitution: 188]
[Insight: 239]
[Medical: 201]
Is the data weak?
Weak.
In fact, it is the strength of ordinary players.
At level 77, even if 3 attribute points are added for each level, the highest attribute value is only 231. Counting the characteristic value, there may be a few items that can be higher, but this is the strength of ordinary players.
Amuro's strength lies in skills.
There is also a person similar to him in the "Endless Corridor".
Nanami.
They are both typical examples of using skills to supplement combat power.
Nanami's skills are directly reflected on the panel, while Amuro's are hidden deeper. The former is about active attack, and the latter is passive defense. One is indestructible, and the other is immortal.
Amuro said: "Kroyd has a problem with his character. He doesn't trust anyone, which leads him to believe only in the prophecy of the [Critical Person]. But he is also an ambitious person, and in the end he will only become a tool for the superiors."
Li Nuo asked: "So? You want to entrust me to save him?"
Amuro nodded.
"But it's too late, he died."
He smiled bitterly, as if it was all his responsibility.
"He lost to me and threatened to find the 'Immortal Slash' to defeat me. At that time, I felt that something was wrong with Kroyd... I led a person astray, which felt terrible."
Li Nuo and Cha Bai looked at each other subconsciously, and slowly moved closer to each other. It was the first time they faced the real "Virgin Mary". The embarrassment turned into cold air that poured into every pore, and the brain uncontrollably made the body shiver at the same time.
The two looked for changes on each other's faces, especially Cha Bai, who noticed Li Nuo's interesting micro-expression changes, which she had never seen before and wanted to remember in her mind, but in the end, the two just curled their lips and tried their best to hold back their smiles.
Amuro also understood what the other person was thinking.
"You must think I'm unreasonable, right?"
"Yeah."
"Or rather, the people in the 'End Corridor' shouldn't be like this. They are all a bunch of lunatics, a bunch of bastards who don't take their lives seriously and are fooling around all day long."
Amuro smiled.
"Right?"
This time, it was Cha Bai who spoke up:
"At least the ones we met before were indeed lunatics."
Amuro: "Excuse me, your behavior of walking around in public without showing your face is already more like a lunatic than anyone else."
Cha Bai was silent.
Her face was tightly wrapped, with a mask to protect against gas, a beret to protect against sonic attacks, and an eye mask as standard equipment for the YoRHa troops.
From the player's perspective, her dress is reasonable. Even from a personal perspective, she just wants to give herself a sense of security, but in the eyes of others, she is a psychopath, otherwise she would not be arrested by the police at the station.
"Well... you are right, I may really be a lunatic." Cha Bai thought to himself that people are often black when they are close to ink.
Amuro looked at Li Nuo.
"The hostility in your eyes is terrible. You are more cold-blooded than a lunatic, but when you look at a lady with white hair, there is only romance and beauty in your eyes. A person with such an extreme contradictory personality, do you think he is normal?"
Li Nuo tilted his head.
"Not normal in theory, but very normal in practice."
Amuro was unmoved and continued.
"Compared with you and me, who is more like a lunatic?"
Li Nuo said without hesitation:
"We."
But such Amuro is the most abnormal one in "End Corridor" and even the entire player group.
Amuro nodded, just immersed in his own expression.
"Players who have reached our stage are actually different from normal people in spirit. It has nothing to do with which corridor you come from, but your previous resume has already labeled you as 'abnormal human beings'. In the final analysis, we are just a group of mediocre people who are too self-righteous."
Amuro looked down, his eyes on the sunlight on the table.
"The madness of 'End' comes from the limitations of the system, not that we are born different, but after passing level 60, the difference between people in each corridor is no longer that huge."
Li Nuo was silent, thinking: That's because you don't know Maljie...
But he still quite agrees with Amuro's statement.
Cha Bai was curious: "What's the matter with the End's system?"
"You don't know?" Amuro said: "If we fail to complete the mission, we may be wiped out or have our organs removed, and the rewards are average. In short, we have to play with our lives in the script, so we have a group of mentally abnormal guys, but in comparison, I think you guys who come up and use big meteorites to hit people are more abnormal."
Li Nuo: "Hey... There's no need to turn it on us."
Amuro smiled and scratched his head: "Sorry, I'm not sincere... Come to think of it, the real problem in our corridor is the guild... The guild there is just a decoration, and everything is controlled by the manager."
Manager... Li Nuo thought of the king.
"That guy seems to be called 'Demon'. I am not qualified to see him now, but the reason for the madness of 'End' is largely because of him."
Amuro took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and when he opened his eyes again, his eyes were like fire.
"My dream is to defeat him, re-formulate the policy of the 'Endless Corridor', and make our place the second 'Endless Corridor'!"
Li Nuo: "..."
Cha Bai: "..."
Outside the door, Nova and the other two looked at the scenery outside the window, each with a blank expression.
Xiao He said listlessly: "Boss is so embarrassing."
The big guy echoed: "I'm used to it."
Nova's face flushed: "I love him, I want to put on a fake penis and poke him..."
The big guy squinted: "Sister Nova, don't do this."
Inside the house.
Amuro blinked and looked hard at Li Nuo and Cha Bai, trying to find recognition in their eyes.
After a moment, Li Nuo smiled and nodded: "You are really amazing."
In fact, he was thinking: As expected of a federal driver, Amuro is the most abnormal one... Don't mess with this guy, absolutely don't mess with him, he and Malger are of the same type of nerves...
Amuro said: "In short, all the players who can survive here have some problems in their brains..."
Li Nuo thought of Rick...
About ten minutes ago, when he got on the car, Die sent a video. Rick, the poor guy, accidentally discovered a cave while fighting with the villagers in the nameless village. At this time, he was being beaten by the cave guards... Die not only did not help, but also took a photo with Rick who was beaten, and used the photo editing software on the mobile phone to smooth the skin.
"Mr. Li Nuo?"
"Ah?"
Li Nuo was awakened by Amuro.
"Anyway, it can be regarded as a cooperation, right?"
"The first target is the cult group. As for the players' problems, just follow your feelings."
Li Nuo looked at the door.
"Your group of companions are hard to control, right?"
The implication is that whether Amuro's teammates will abide by the agreement is hard to say, not to mention that if there is a conflict of interest, they should fight for it, as long as they don't attack without reason.
"I'll try my best."
Amuro nodded. He got a reassuring answer and thought that the "normality" he had shown was enough to reassure the other party.
