Chapter 161 I Might Be in Trouble This Time

real body!

Those two words were like red-hot iron, making Bai Lan's pupils tremble.

"when……"

Bai Lan immediately understood what the problem was!

Players appear in this world as descendants.

The advent body and the true body are closely related.

That is a far closer connection than projection and avatar.

The descending body system is a more powerful game mechanism than the "experience value system" and "attribute value system".

This mechanism ensures the most basic safety issues for players.

After Bai Lan died once on a full moon night, he gradually understood.

When the body dies, the biggest punishment is to weaken the mental value.

But that's not a nerf, it's just a manifestation, because the player actually experienced a death.

The upper limits of those sealed spiritual values ​​are essentially "dead".

A part of the spiritual power is affected by death, tainted with its inertia.

It's just that certain forces in the magical world can resurrect the spiritual power of "death". This essence is consistent with the flesh and bones of life and death.

…

Strictly speaking, transcendent qualities also imbue the concept of death.

Extraordinary people will have a sense of blockage and delay as a result, as if they are being held back by death.

Bai Lan is a demon wolf and can only die once, so he can adjust quickly and use his own characteristics to dispel the inert power after death.

But other extraordinary beings do not have such powerful characteristics.

A wolf master like Elise can only be resurrected temporarily by taking the werewolf potion, but cannot completely return to the living posture of the wolf master.

And most extraordinary beings are like this.

After the death of an extraordinary person, his extraordinary characteristics dissipate between heaven and earth.

If there is other life to inherit, it will be reborn with the help of the power of the living.

If you use rituals to strip away the characteristics of a dead extraordinary person, you will only get a copy of the extraordinary characteristics full of inertia.

Such extraordinary characteristics tainted by death cannot be used to make magic potions, nor can they directly help non-extraordinary people become extraordinary.

Another purification ritual is required to dispel this tainted supernatural quality.

Another method is to directly strip the living extraordinary characteristics from the body of the living extraordinary person - however, the extraordinary characteristics obtained in this way will also be contaminated by a large amount of negative emotions, and also require purification rituals.

…

If the player dies too many times, the mysterious properties within the body will be tainted by death, and inertia will accumulate.

Even as a transcendent of the Demonic Wolf Path, Bai Lan only expected that he could not die more than five times in a row.

This continuity means that if the influence of the last death has not been completely dispelled, the next death will have to be faced.

This is a vicious cycle.

If it is an ordinary transcendent who dies two or three times in a row, he will reach the critical value of death.

In the end, it is difficult to return, and players who exceed the critical value will completely sink into the sea of ​​death.

Even so, players still have an advantage over the aborigines. After all, they have two or three more lives.

Moreover, after becoming a transcendent, it is difficult to be killed in the border town, and he basically has the ability to protect himself.

But this is only compared to the advent body.

The player's real body does not have this benefit.

Once you die, you are truly dead.

Bai Lan was horrified that their status changed from [Adventure Body] to [True Body].

This is undoubtedly a nightmare.

When they entered the maze, they were prepared to encounter a crisis that they could not handle and be destroyed.

But they didn't expect that this was the first time they encountered a crisis of this magnitude, which gave them a big surprise.

"How on earth is it done?"

Bai Lan regained her composure.

He had seen the methods of Lord Mort Wolf before, and the latter also had the ability to curse the player's true form.

He was fearless then, but now there is no reason to panic because of the possibility of his real body dying.

It's a bit weird to just quietly adjust their status to their real bodies.

Bai Lan's face was solemn.

In the real world, sequence games have a [log in] option. When you are in the descending state, it will become a [log out] option.

After he checked. As expected, [Login] and [Logout] were also reversed.

It's as if the magical world is their real world.

There was a force that reversed their status and situation.

I just don’t know whether this power acts on the sequence game or on the players themselves.

If it's the former, that's terrifying.

Bai Lan selects [Login].

Opening his eyes on the bed, Bai Lan stood up and looked at the mirror next to him. The mirror reflected a handsome young man wearing modern casual clothes with dark eyebrows.

Bai Lan sighed: "In other words, my true body has now become my descended body?"

The mysterious realm is too vast, and some things are beyond his knowledge.

He logged out from the real world, and his descended body also disappeared.

Bai Lan's consciousness returned to the tavern, and he felt a little relieved when he saw Sophia taking small bites of the barbecue.

Nothing to be afraid of.

Sophia is not a player, and like them, she bears the risk of dying at any time.

The bright yellow light illuminates the environment inside the tavern very warmly.

Before they could finish the barbecue, the pavilion master and Metatron opened the door curtain and entered the tavern.

Bai Lan ordered some more food.

The Pavilion Master and Metatron are extremely capable of gathering intelligence.

Therefore, their faces were a little ugly.

Bai Lan said at this time: "Do you speak first or should I speak first?"

"You go ahead and say it."

Bai Lan nodded and said, "Open the game panel and check your status."

When everyone saw that the state was [True Body], they all seemed to have eaten a fly by chance.

Especially the pavilion master, whose face was so gloomy that he was almost dripping with tears.

The biggest advantage as a player is gone.

Bai Lan said calmly: "It's your turn to speak."

The Pavilion Master said: "I tried to get Alex to leave this Changhu Town, but it failed. I can see the outside scene, but the space extends infinitely. We can only stay where we are. We are trapped here."

"This era is about 1,845 years away from our era."

"This dwarf town belongs to the jurisdiction of the King of the Lonely Mountain. It has a population of about 24,000 people. The dwarves have a very strong overall quality. They have a standing force of 120 people and 60 guards. They are all Sequence 9 warriors. Others are not excluded. The extraordinary beings on the path, as well as the mayor and a few officers, are at least Sequence 8."

Wait until the master of the pavilion explains all the general information clearly.

Bai Lan looked at Metatron again.

The latter said: "Now this town is in a special period. A prestigious traveling group called the Scarlet Troupe has come to Changhu Town."

"It is said that this is a highly accomplished art group that is good at interpreting tragedies and can bring immersive dramatic performances to the audience."

"The little crown prince of Gushan also came to this town to enjoy the performance of the Scarlet Troupe."

"They will only show up for five days, and it's the fourth day now. When the five days are over, they will leave Lake Town. The dwarves think we are tourists who came here after hearing the news."

Sophia's eyes suddenly showed a dark color, vaguely overlapping with the red eyes.

She whispered, "The Scarlet Troupe? Hmm! A certain god loved theater, and they were born."

tragedy? Love drama?

Bai Lan was startled and instantly remembered the god that Calcifer had spoken about before entering the labyrinth.

God of prophecies and dreams!

Bai Lan asked: "Do you know this troupe?"

Black Swan borrowed Sophia's body, and her delicate little face showed strange fluctuations for the first time, and said with obvious disgust:

"Staging a tragedy, creating a tragedy, they deserve to die!"

Metatron also said at this time: "There is a circus in Border Town. I heard a member of the circus mention this troupe. It is said to be very scary, but the leader kept it secret..."

Black Swan shook his head: "Humans may not know much about this troupe, but the witch knows its tricks. All those puppets should be hanged in the dark!"

"I thought you would enter His Kingdom of God, but in the end you just stepped onto the stage of the troupe..."

"That god loves the troupe so much..."

"No, it's not funny!"

Black Swan whispered for a moment and then asked: "What play are they performing?"

Metatron replied: "Slay the Dragon."

"Slaying the dragon? Oh, this is Gushan. I remembered that I had seen documents about this incident when I was a child. And the crown prince of Gushan was already immersed in it. He didn't know that the tragedy had already happened."

"The legendary dragon clan came to Gushan, and the crown prince fought against the dragon clan. He had a flash of inspiration and recalled the play he had seen when he was a child. So by a coincidence of fate, he pulled out his spear and stabbed the legendary dragon in its fatal weakness. This drama is vivid and vivid. Show the unyielding and tenacity of the warrior.”

Bai Lan immediately said: "You said there will be a legendary dragon clan appearing?"

Black Swan said using Sophia's body: "That will happen in the future. The current crown prince is still young, but his immature body contains ambitions far beyond ordinary people. When he was young, he was killed by the King of the Lonely Mountain. Despite his contempt, he is determined to create an immortal legend."

"This is also true. Decades later, he proved his greatness with his great achievements. He slayed a dragon alone, something even a werewolf hero could not do - even though this great achievement was based on the destruction of the entire lonely mountain. For a flat ground foundation.”

"The dragon's flames and sharp claws failed to kill the warrior, but when he looked back, he only saw the scorched earth and devastated ruins. All his relatives were destroyed. In the end, he passed away due to great sadness. "

"But he didn't know that the reason why the legendary dragon clan came to Gushan was because the crown prince knew its fatal weakness. The proud dragon clan couldn't tolerate it, but this also led to its fall."

After listening to the story told by Black Swan, everyone fell into silence.

When the crown prince was a child, he watched the Scarlet Theater Company's plays in Changhu Town.

But the content of the play is the story of my adult self slaying a dragon.

The lonely mountain was razed to the ground, and no one survived.

This is a complete tragedy.

But this ending also makes people feel chilly.

Metatron said: "What if there is no "Dragon Slayer" play?"

"Black Swan" looked at him, with an elegant and calm voice: "Do you think there would be no tragedy without the troupe?"

Metatron pondered for a moment and finally nodded.

"Metatron...strange name. Can you see the future?"

"yes."

"Do you believe in the future you see?"

Metatron shook his head slightly.

"If you believed in the future you saw, you would not have reached the present moment. If your talent is really similar to the path taken by that god, then you should know that the future is full of variables."

"The future is not what you see, it is what should happen. It is what you do, what will happen in the future."

"The legendary dragon tried to escape before it died, but it couldn't escape. We can regard it as coincidence, fate, or - a curse..."

"If the stage performance reaches the moment of decisive battle, and the two sides of the decisive battle tug at everyone's heartstrings, but one of them manages to escape, how will the emotions that have been brewing explode? How will the audience cheer?"

"The moment they stepped onto the stage, the cursed background music sounded behind the scenes, and they fell deeply into it, gradually becoming string puppets on the stage, because their fateful trajectory had already been determined."

Black Swan said with a disgusted expression.

That god loved tragedy and created the Scarlet Theater Company.

In theory, this development is most in line with His heart.

Bai Lan asked: "What happened next?"

Black Swan said: "That troupe has repeatedly committed evil, and its deeds have been exposed. It has been resisted and hunted by many forces. All members of the troupe have been hunted down. Only the troupe leader has mysteriously disappeared. Behind him, there is a pair of big hands controlling everything. .”

"The reappearance of Gushan Town can only be His handiwork, but the time you entered is very abnormal."

"Why?"

"Because according to the theater company's logic, you should enter during the first act."

It's act four now.

The show of "Slaying the Dragon" ends tomorrow.

Bai Lan and others don't know what will happen to them after this show ends.

But if you do nothing, the outcome will not be much better.

"How strong are the people in the Scarlet Troupe?"

"They are not powerful, they are just a group of Sequence 9 performers, but their approach is very strange. Because they are favored by the God of Prophecy and Dreams, they have many magical props..."

When Black Swan said this, his dark and quiet eyes gradually lit up.

She said word by word: "Go to the playwright of the troupe, kill him, and then get the quill in his hand."

"That quill has the power of prophecy and can tailor a future for all life. If you want to open up a path, you must get that quill."

In an instant, the expressions of the Pavilion Master, Metatron and others became serious.

"I don't know what the kingdom of the gods is like, so I can't provide much advice, but your appearance may trigger other changes. This place is very strange, and it may not only contain the power of the troupe..."

"In addition, the troupe leader has a complete curse sonata, which sounds as the plot progresses on the stage. When the performance reaches the final climax, even the legendary dragon will be deeply involved..."

The Pavilion Master was startled, thinking that the name sounded familiar: "The Cursed Sonata comes from the troupe?"

Black Swan nodded lightly: "Yes, with the destruction of the theater troupe, those chapters containing the power of the curse also fell apart."

The pavilion master took out the [Death Movement] with a strange expression.

This is one of the chapters from Sonata of the Damned.

It can induce the listener's extraordinary characteristics to go out of control, enter a state of madness, and lose himself.

He had used it on thieves.

It's a pity that the thieves were scared away.

Black Swan looked at it, slightly surprised, and said calmly: "The Curse Sonata has six movements, namely darkness, nightmare, blood, abyss, silence, and death."

The ability of a single movement is not strong, just rare.

But the combination of the three movements can be effective on Sequence 7 Transcendents.

And the complete six movements can even affect those legendary powerhouses.

There is a theory that the troupe leader of the Scarlet Theater Company has a seventh movement that represents the end.

However, when the troupe collapsed, only six movements appeared, which were scattered throughout history.

Everyone was in a very bad mood.

Playing in an away game, their advantage was blocked, and time was running out. The primitive people used laser swords. They suspected that they might be in trouble this time.
