Chapter 767 Clearance
"Instance: Epidemic Control Tower."
"Completed."
The game prompt box popped up again, and the text on it was light and fluttering.
When everything becomes a game, it seems that nothing is so important.
The ordeal that has troubled Qi Se for a long time is just a instance from this perspective.
Those NPCs and characters are not living beings, but a background placed somewhere waiting for the protagonist to arrive. The protagonist with a higher perspective passes through the background board laid out in front of the curtain, killing monsters, defeating BOSS, completing tasks, and saving the world in a detached manner.
Mo Ling's thoughts suddenly became blurred. The hole after the cyst disappeared was pitch black. Through the pure hole, he seemed to see a lot of things.
What will you see when you dig a hole in the background board of the world?
His vision slowly probed into the hole. Before the purple light was filled up again, he wanted to see what was outside the hole.
Is it the audience outside the screen?
Or the eyes outside the text?
After Mo Ling had the idea of looking out, an inexplicable fear suddenly rose in his heart.
That fear had no reason or purpose.
"What am I afraid of?"
Mo Ling didn't know what he was afraid of...
Is it the fear of the unknown? It seems not, it's just a hole, there's nothing, where does the unknown come from?
"Just take a look."
Mo Ling thought, his vision was getting closer and closer, and he was about to stick to the edge of the hole.
But at this moment, the Guardian Sword in his hand trembled, interrupting Mo Ling's concentration.
"Immune response 1,038,277,540 times, successful."
"Immune organ self-examination results, normal, continue to guard."
It turned out to be another broadcast...
Mo Ling breathed a sigh of relief. His behavior of removing the cyst just now was probably also regarded as an immune response.
After thinking it through, Mo Ling looked at the hole again, wanting to continue what he had just done, but after being interrupted for a while, the hole had been completely filled with purple light.
"Too late."
Mo Ling lost the opportunity to explore.
Although it was a pity, it was not a big deal. Mo Ling shook his head and didn't care about it anymore.
There are many such opportunities, not just this one.
At the moment, the most important thing is the sword in his hand.
The source of the light plague has been eliminated, but the purple seems to still maintain the state of organization, and it is more thorough than other colors, and even the consciousness can no longer be condensed.
Not only that, there is a very important question now:
"How should I leave here?"
Although the copy is over, Mo Ling is still trapped on the seventh floor of the epidemic tower.
Just when Mo Ling was confused, the guardian sword in his hand seemed to sense his troubles, and it automatically floated up and pointed in a direction.
"What do you mean? Is that the exit?"
Mo Ling followed the guidance of the guardian sword and walked over. After passing through an area of purple gas condensation, he really found a door behind the rich purple light.
Moreover, this door seems to be downwards...
"It's really an exit."
Mo Ling thanked the long sword in his hand, not caring whether it could hear him or not, and slowly walked into the door. After a flash of light, the purple light around him gradually turned blue.
As the vision became clear, two familiar figures appeared in front of Mo Ling.
"Captain, I see the mission is completed! Did you defeat the BOSS? What does the BOSS look like? What exploded? Let me see! Let me see!"
The Joyer came up excitedly, circling around Mo Ling, looking at the little purple on his body and the Guardian Sword in his hand.
"Is this the Guardian Sword?" The Joyer gently stretched out his hand and wanted to touch it, but was pushed away by a blue light.
The Joyer immediately turned his head and looked at Lan Yu.
"Can't you even take a look?"
"No." Lan Yu was very determined and didn't give the Joyer any chance at all.
Lan Yu slowly walked in front of Mo Ling, looking at the Guardian Sword in Mo Ling's hand, and was silent for a long time.
Then there was a deep bow.
"Thank you..."
The thin skeleton bent down and faced Mo Ling.
Mo Ling quickly reached out to help it up, looking at the purple sword in his hand, not knowing what to do.
"Can it return to its original state?"
"No, organization is irreversible. The dispersion of light is simple, but aggregation is difficult. It disperses itself so thoroughly that it is even more difficult to re-aggregate."
Lan Yu explained helplessly: "Only by completely dispersing can the light plague be sealed. The higher the concentration of photons, the faster the light plague spreads, so it must do this."
"This sword... How can I return it to you? Can you get the purple light out of it?" Mo Ling asked curiously.
"No, you don't have to return it. You can take it away." Lan Yu's words shocked Mo Ling for a moment.
"Don't return it? What about the spectrum's immune system?"
"This is only a part of it. The immune organs are everywhere. This is not a big deal. Without the consumption of the light plague, the immune system will recover quickly, and then a new guardian sword will be produced." Lan Yu explained calmly.
At this time, the happy person on the side interrupted again: "The equipment in the dungeon will be refreshed. If you take away one piece, a new one will appear in it. Isn't this normal?"
After listening to the Happy One's words, Mo Ling shook his head helplessly. Its perspective is always so strange...
"Then I really took it?" Mo Ling confirmed again.
"Take it away. This may also be a relief for it." Lan Yu stared at the sword in Mo Ling's hand and muttered softly:
"It's not a good thing to have too many things to protect."
"We have to protect our companions, we have to protect the spectrum, and we have to protect life..."
"It's too tired. It doesn't actually need to bear these responsibilities, but it always puts everything on its shoulders, making it physically and mentally exhausted..."
"It has never changed. It has been like this since the first time it took in those little creatures. It said nothing and ran into the darkness to find food. It has been taking care of those little creatures. It will not start until it is tired. Looking for companions.”
"The same is true for our group of partners. We are all flawed beings, but it still stubbornly wants to 'save' us, help us find a place to be useful, and let us find the meaning of existence."
“If it weren’t for it, where would I be now?”
"I guess I'm still confused somewhere..."
"Oh, guardianship is such a strange thing."
"After all this time, I still don't understand."
