Chapter 194 The Ninth Cycle Ends, Li Feng's Regret

"Is this...paper from Traveler's World?"

September 15th, 11 o'clock at midnight, there is still one hour left before the cycle ends and returns to the player world.

Because before the end of the last cycle, Li Feng noticed that the mermaid portrait on the set of coral cards had changed.

He had doubts in his mind, so he took a photo with his mobile phone and printed it as a photo.

Just to be safe, he also put the photos into the system backpack, which naturally brought him the world of the endless sea.

It was just an unintentional move at first, but I heard what seemed to be the origin of this deck of cards.

Picking up the photo that Li Feng pushed over from the table, Delana looked back and forth in surprise.

Touching the smooth and thick photo paper with neatly cut corners, the mermaid exclaimed:

“There is no extraordinary world that can make such good paper.

Hey, do people in your world usually use such good paper? "

"no."

Li Feng thought about it and explained:

"Just paper for developing images."

"Develop...images?"

Delana read words she had never heard before, looking at the images on the photographic paper as she tried to understand them.

"It's amazing-"

Looking carefully at each photo, Delana felt that she understood what the impact of printing was.

"I think...the pictures on these papers must not have been drawn by humans."

"Yes, some kind of imaging technology."

Li Feng nodded in confirmation.

"It's also science? Just like those ships and machines that emit hot steam?"

In the past few days, Delana has seen with her own eyes the current technological creations, which are very novel compared to the backward era she was in.

"That's right, they are all things that can improve efficiency."

"Your world is so interesting."

Delana sighed with a smile, and then returned to the topic. She handed over a photo. The coral card on the photo was engraved with stars:

"These stars are not irregular or carved for beauty. They are a code that guides the direction of the treasure.

Every detail on this painting is extremely precise, which is why I said it could never have been painted by a human being. Paintings cannot be painted with such precision.

I guess... you already have something like this, and then you use your... um... some of your imaging technology to develop... the images.

Am I right? "

Delana looked at Li Feng with bright eyes, looking forward to his answer.

Li Feng nodded. Delana's statement was basically correct.

The mermaid finally guessed correctly and smiled. Then she took out one of the many photos in her hand and asked:

"So Mr. Rhine, how did you find the mourning priest in this vast world?"

‘The mourning priest? ’

Under the bright gas light, Li Feng looked at the photo taken out by Delana. It showed the card with the mermaid's back on it.

Looking at Delana's reaction, Li Feng roughly guessed that the other half of the godhead that was taken away was most likely related to the mourning priest, so he went straight:

"I know the traveler in your story, and I know his daughter."

"Wha...what?"

Although she had been surprised many times, Delana couldn't help but be surprised again.

How could there be such a coincidence in the world? Or……

Delana lowered her eyes and spoke piously:

"Perhaps all this is the intention of the Creator God. He has already made plans for you."

Li Feng did not answer, only holding back the slight twitching at the corner of his mouth.

He doesn't believe in the system, let alone the God of Creation. In his true heart, he just wants to get rid of the fate of being led away.

"The other half of the godhead was indeed taken away by the mourning priest. She is the mermaid responsible for guarding the godhead."

Delana continued to explain:

"I heard from my companions that in order to allow her to go to the world of travelers with the godhead, the patriarch used a spell to make the mourning priest sleep in the coral of the heart."

"Um--"

Li Feng understood the cause and effect, but he was still most concerned about:

"How do I get the godhead from the Mourning Priest?"

"Hey, you really are..."

Li Feng didn't care about anything else at all, which made Delana feel that she had absolutely zero control over the topic, so she could only smile helplessly:

"The Mourning Priest is not a transcendent person. She has not yet embarked on the path to transcendence. If you want her to wake up, it is best to let her feel a little transcendent power."

Delana stood up as she spoke. She returned the photo to Li Feng with a sweet smile, and then said:

"Be mentally prepared because it could be dangerous."

"What's the meaning?"

Li Feng didn't know why.

"You missed the opportunity to recognize the weaknesses and regrets in your heart."

Delana was referring to the fact that Li Feng escaped the temptation of the mermaid of Rimu Island that day, but he failed to see his true heart clearly.

"How can it be so easy to obtain the Godhead? The mourning priest may be like me and help you without any reward.

But when you force the godhead to merge with you, it will affect your mind.

It will maximize your inner weaknesses and regrets.

If the inner demon is too strong, the godhead will abandon you, or even more terrifying, it will enslave you.

In fact, entering the mermaid's illusion is a practice. The illusion will make you see the weaknesses and regrets of your heart.

As long as you keep your mind clear and not controlled by it.

Then no matter what you encounter in the future, it will be difficult to influence you through your mind, and the same goes for your godhead.

But it's a pity that you missed the opportunity to practice. "

Delana glanced at the time on the clock, then walked to Li Feng, with some affection in her sea-blue eyes:

"Have a good trip, and have a good dream."

After that, footsteps sounded behind Li Feng, and Delana left the study.

...

The cold moonlight fell into the long night, and it was now 11:30 p.m.

Li Feng simply packed up his things and sat on the bed.

In order to quickly adapt to the light before the current cycle, he turned off the lights and let the distant moon shine into the room, with shadows everywhere.

Delana's words about weakness and desire made him ponder.

And she also said something that made Li Feng care more:

"Before experiencing all kinds of adventures, who is not an ordinary person with weaknesses."

Yes, before fighting for survival, who is not an ordinary person.

Thinking back to the outbreak of zombies in the first life, he was also an ordinary person, with parents and a childhood sweetheart who had been in love for many years.

Li Feng remembered that when he was a child, his father was very strict and urged him to study every day.

But when exactly, it should be the moment he got the college admission letter, his father became kind and no longer talked about studying every three sentences.

Later, Li Feng remembered clearly that when he got a stable job, his father's life suddenly became easy.

He no longer had to run for money, and finally had time to play chess with chess friends, but white hair had occupied his temples.

As for his mother, Li Feng's impression of her was that she was very gentle and loved him very much, and her cooking skills were particularly good.

His mother would make a kind of pastry called mugwort green dumplings, with soft and glutinous green onion skin and various fillings, and he never got tired of eating it.

But the reality today is that Li Feng no longer remembers that taste.

But he still knows that in his relatively long life later, he has never eaten such delicious mugwort green dumplings again.

In addition to his parents, in Li Feng's life in that life, there was another person who was very important to him, that was Su Qingyao, his childhood playmate, who had been together for more than 20 years and finally became his fiancée.

There was no earth-shattering love between them, but the long-lasting feelings and the tacit understanding of getting along with each other every day have made her irreplaceable.

"They are just regrets, right?"

In the dim room, Li Feng whispered to himself.

All kinds of strange feelings surged in his heart. They were obviously his loved ones, but Li Feng found that he had not thought of them for a long time in recent years.

But it was also strange that although they had become a gradually forgotten past tense, now the memories came, and his heart still couldn't hide the regret and sadness.

The second hand of the table clock kept moving forward, and Li Feng was silent.

In the final analysis, before the zombie disaster in the first life, he was just an ordinary person.

He had an ordinary life and ordinary wishes.

And now, he is just an ordinary person who wants to get rid of being led.

Compared with before, he just has more means, is more determined in his heart, and knows how to look forward.

After a long self-analysis, Li Feng believes that the situation described by Delanna will not happen.

Unwilling to continue to immerse himself in regret without any result, Li Feng immediately dispelled the memories in his heart.

He took out the photo of the Mourning Priest. The mermaid in the photo was facing away from him and should still be in a sleeping state.

But Li Feng had an impression that the back of the Mourning Priest had changed compared to before the blood sacrifice incident.

She was slowly turning around.

‘During the blood sacrifice incident, the supernatural descended on the player world on a large scale. The supernatural energy awakened the Mourning Priest, and she is waking up. ’

Li Feng recalled the clues provided by Delana:

The Mourning Priest is not a supernatural person. She has not yet embarked on the path of supernatural. If you want her to wake up, it is best to let her feel a little supernatural power.

‘What Delana said is indeed correct. ’

Then the question now is how to make her willingly hand over the godhood.

The moon is in the middle of the sky, and it is midnight.

With a slight dizziness, Li Feng's eyes appeared with a system prompt:

[The ninth cycle ends, all players return to the player world, and the tenth cycle begins. ]

With the prompt, a slight dizziness came.

The soft touch of the bed, the fragrance in his memory, Li Feng knew that he was back.

But just when he was about to open his eyes, the alarm bells in his heart suddenly rang.

After a slight perception, it turned out to be the hunter inheritance that he had just learned a few days ago-the danger warning was triggered.

‘I was at home before I crossed over, how could it be possible? ’

Holding his breath and concentrating on full alert, Li Feng was thinking quickly, but a delicate "woo woo" cry came to his ears.

This sound sounded strange in the first second, familiar in the second second, and suddenly overlapped with the memory in the third second.

The "woo woo" cry continued to come, Li Feng's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he suddenly opened his eyes, only to see a face deep in his memory.

"You woke up!?"

Under Li Feng's shocked gaze, Su Qingyao stopped crying, but the next second, she suddenly hugged Li Feng tightly and cried even louder:

"You woke up, Li Feng, you finally woke up, you scared me to death, I thought you were in a nightmare again..."

Ignoring the person who was crying while hugging him, Li Feng sat up and looked around the room. This was not his home.

Feeling carefully, everything around him had a slightly undulating sense of drifting, so, was this on a boat?

Also, Li Feng lowered his eyes and looked at Su Qingyao, his first-life fiancée, who was hugging his waist, with her head in his arms, crying like a pear blossom in the rain.

‘She is not Su Qingyao, the real Su Qingyao has died long ago. ’

Although Li Feng didn't know exactly what happened to him, he at least kept his mind clear at the moment.

He hasn't figured out the opponent's approach yet, so he plans to act according to the opportunity.

"Did you just have another nightmare?"

Because Li Feng didn't say anything or move for a long time, Su Qingyao raised her head, looked at Li Feng with red eyes, and said in a tearful tone:

"Li Feng, do you not remember the past again?"

She sniffed slightly as she held her head high, tears rolling down from the corners of her eyes and dripping on Li Feng's hand.

Li Feng looked at this face, which was the most familiar face that had been with him for many years.

But when we met again today after more than twenty years apart, he suddenly realized that everyone who should not be forgotten has been forgotten.

Continue to look at 'Su Qingyao', the distance is very close, her own shadow is reflected in her eyes.

Li Feng was surprised that he didn't end this deception immediately.

The clarity in his heart was still stable, but even so, Li Feng couldn't tell whether he chose to continue because he really wanted to see the other party's methods clearly, or if it was the regret in his heart that was causing trouble.

‘Heh, the mermaid’s illusion is really powerful. ’

After pulling for a long time with a complicated mood, Li Feng responded:

"Um."

The performance continued, and as he pulled away from his own emotions, he became a little curious about how the other party was going to act.

As if receiving the response she had already guessed, Su Qingyao was not too shocked. There was only a flash of sadness on her fair and beautiful face.

Then she lowered her head and quickly wiped away her tears with the back of her hand. When she raised her head again, she had put on a strong and optimistic look:

"It's okay if you don't remember. I will help you remember it slowly."

Su Qingyao straightened up as she spoke. She knelt on the soft bed and tried to keep her eyes level with Li Feng.

Then he put his hands around his neck and said solemnly:

"Li Feng, I will be with you, I will be with you anytime.

It doesn't matter if you don't remember anything, because I remember everything and I will slowly help you remember everything.

Because I love you and I know everything about you.

I know that in the first grade of elementary school, you pooped your pants in school, because I secretly told the teacher for you and accompanied you home to change clothes.

I know that you were last in the class in the second grade running competition, but you were not convinced and practiced hard. In the third grade competition, you ranked first in the whole grade.

I also know that when I was in junior high school, a snake crawled into the school flower bed. Everyone was frightened at that time. As a result, you caught the snake with your bare hands and bought it to an outside restaurant.

For this reason, you were set up as a negative example of safety education and criticized at the school-wide meeting.

There are many, many more things that will happen next, and I know them all, because I was with you when you did these things. "

Su Qingyao hugged Li Feng, put her head on his shoulder, and continued to whisper in his ear:

"It doesn't matter if you don't remember me, it doesn't matter if you don't love me. Anyway, I will always be with you. No matter how the nightmare tortures you, I will be by your side, always."

Feeling Su Qingyao's intimate words and her intimate movements, Li Feng felt mixed emotions in his heart.

It was like being read from a memory. The old events that were mentioned just now undoubtedly all happened.

But her intimate words and the person she played made Li Feng instinctively hope that everything now was true.

only.

"Where are we? And what is this nightmare you are talking about?"

Li Feng asked after seeing 'Su Qingyao' not letting go for a long time.

"We are at sea, honeymoon trip."

Xu was very happy to see Li Feng talking to her. She let go of Li Feng's neck, but held his hand tightly.

After being pulled off the bed and walking to the window, Li Feng discovered through the window that the outside was indeed full of sea water.

But it was midnight, and there was only the light of the cruise ship below me on the sea.

"The zombies have been completely eliminated."

'Su Qingyao' arched her eyebrows and said happily:

"It's worth mentioning that in the final battle, it was you who completely eliminated them!

but……"

Speaking of this, 'Su Qingyao' became lonely. She hugged Li Feng tightly and leaned against him:

“But you’ve also suffered severe psychological trauma and sometimes have nightmares and hallucinations.

And every time you wake up from a nightmare, you will think that you here are dead, I am dead, everyone is dead, and then you travel to other worlds.

In other worlds, you have experienced many things, some happy and some dangerous, and then when you wake up from the dream, you are back again.

But you will forget a lot of things. Sometimes you forget your parents, sometimes you forget me, and sometimes you don’t even remember who you are.

So every time you sleep, I will be by your side. I am afraid that you will enter the nightmare again, linger in the world of your dreams, and then forget about me. "

'Su Qingyao' raised her head as she spoke, and looked at Li Feng sadly:

"After surviving the end of the world, we really managed to be together!"
