Chapter 541

[If all this is indeed the choice of fate, then the fate of this world is really cruel]

[All this should not have happened so quickly. Under normal circumstances, the "Sacrifice Game" should have run for at least five years, and the experience of a full five years of dungeons is enough for a group of top human players to grow up and become the so-called saviors]

[But the game process of this world has been advanced. At a height that we KPs cannot reach, there is a certain force that accelerates the "Sacrifice Game" in this world, so that it has only been running for about two and a half years and is approaching the final end. Because of this, many of our members have actually given up on this world and have begun to feel that it doesn't matter how it develops. The reason why a KP like "Writer" was born from us is perhaps because the hope of this world is too slim, which affects the thinking tendency of our group? ]

The KP who seemed to be sitting next to Gao Hai's head said with emotion.

[Those "historians" call this dungeon the Abyss Level, which is a good name. I was very optimistic about them and thought that maybe they could take away some important props from this dungeon to pave the way for their future. But they don't have this time to grow. In the next month after this dungeon ends, or maybe two months, this world will usher in the prelude to the end. You who are not ready to reach this step at all must make a final desperate struggle for your life.]

[Why the game rhythm of this world is so fast, to be honest, it is difficult for me to understand. But in front of those beings who are higher than me, I am just a small minion without the right to decide. Therefore, all I can do is to pull you, who are the fastest growing among these players and have the protection of the Key of All Things, into this dungeon, hoping that you can survive this difficult time and do what others can't do in the next crisis.]

[So, whether you accept it or not, I will not regret my actions. This is the last chance to forcibly improve your strength. If you miss this time, you will really have no hope...]

The voice of the KP seemed to be blurred for a short while, as if it was disturbed by something, and the voice became rough.

[Most of my companions believe that your fate is already determined. Even with the addition of you, an extraordinary chosen one, no one thinks that your fate will have a chance to change]

[But I don't like this view, and I don't want to accept such a boring story. I have seen enough of stupid and ignorant people trapped in their own cages, and they have not made any progress after hundreds of years, and they have wasted their chances to save themselves again and again. If I have to watch something like this again, it would be a torture for me]

[So, when I found out that I would be the selector of your new copy, I was really surprised. After all, you successfully survived the third copy under the persecution of the Key of All Things, which is a very remarkable thing. If you want to break the future that everyone thinks is destined, I think only you are the most suitable candidate. Haha, in a sense, this is also the role of fate. After all, the fate of the Key of All Things you obtained destined you to be unable to access normal copies, so your meeting with me may be a bit of coincidence]

During the conversation, KP's voice became more and more blurred, and more and more obvious noises began to interfere with its voice.

Gao Hai had to concentrate and listen to what the other party said as carefully as possible, otherwise he might miss some information with a single mistake.

But then, all the noises suddenly disappeared, and then KP's voice became clearer than ever before.

[What a pity, I can no longer see that scene]

With a sigh, Gao Hai sensed that KP beside him stood up and gradually walked away.

[After making a violation, and making a violation more than once, I must accept the punishment. And for an existence like me, there is only one punishment, that is eternal annihilation, and no longer exists]

[For me, the chain of fate is so heavy and so indestructible, just a little bit of rebellious behavior, the price is so. This is really a pity for me, I still hope to stay and continue to witness more stories. However, since things have reached a point where they cannot be reversed, then what I can do now is much clearer. Therefore, I contact you for the last time. The chosen one, after going through so many hardships and tests, can you finally break the ending and give hope to this doomed world? Even though I can no longer see the moment when you face the challenge, I still sincerely look forward to your choice and perseverance in the face of fate. ]

[So, this gift will be my last illegal action, and I hope you can make good use of it. And, although I can no longer hear your answer, I still want to ask you, in your opinion, did the choice I made in the end break the invisible fate that bound me? ]

After that, I could no longer hear its voice.

The blood-red light pierced the darkness, and the feeling of being heavily bound by the body disappeared without a trace.

Gao Hai opened his eyes and found himself lying on the square of the blood-red city, and had returned to the silent city where he would arrive before every replay.

What I felt just now was just the message from that KP?

It selected a high-level copy that I shouldn't have contacted at this stage, and tried to communicate with me and remind me in the copy, so it violated some rules and would be killed and destroyed by some existence. As a result, this guy found me before he died and left me this message. Is he going to give me something else?

To be honest, Gao Hai's mood is still somewhat complicated.

KP... What are these non-human beings? They have high-dimensional characteristics, but they don't seem to be the gods that transcend human cognition that I saw in the copy, but something in between, like something that was specially created to exist specifically for a certain function.

They can basically not be defined by the "good" and "bad" of human civilization. Even if there is something as twisted as a "writer", it is still difficult to describe it with common sense. But there is no doubt that they are intelligent beings with emotions, feelings, and clear self-cognition. And their behavior of setting rules and dividing boundaries for each copy also makes their positions more divided and more difficult to characterize.

However, no matter what, what I want to do will not change.

Clear the dungeon, destroy the dungeon, gain more and stronger power, and then face the next more severe challenge.

As long as you are not really forced into a desperate situation, you can't give up, that's all.

Then, let's see what this guy gave me.

Gao Hai got up from the ground thinking this, and then he noticed something in his hand. When he picked it up, he found that it was the appearance of the puppet that KP used when he appeared in front of him. However, unlike the puppet that was bound by the strings and danced at that time, the strings on the puppet in Gao Hai's hand have all been broken, and the puppet itself is also full of cracks, as if it could break into pieces of dregs at any time.

However, this is just an appearance.

Gao Hai can feel what this thing is.

That KP, actually gave me his core? Because he couldn't live anymore, he made such a choice. Then, since you dare to give it to me, I will accept it.

Without any hesitation or embarrassment, Gao Hai directly accepted the puppet.

The moment he accepted this thing, he clearly felt that he had 3 more replay slots to use. Just like the [writer] who was pierced and grilled every day, this core provided by the [doll] gave Gao Hai more replay slots, allowing him to have more opportunities to replay and use the watch function.

From this moment on, the upper limit of the black watch's replay slots increased from 15 to 18.

Thinking of this, Gao Hai slowly exhaled, then turned around and looked at the other side of the square.

Chapter 104 The Sufferers Returning to the Bloody City and the Modified Watch Function

Under the dark red sky, the silent city is no different from the past, and it is still as lifeless as in memory.

And Gao Hai, who returned here again, sighed after a long silence, and showed a very tired look like many times before.

The third round of the [Infant Crying Village] dungeon is completely over here.

Although Gao Hai had struggled as hard as he could for quite a long time, managed to investigate many things, and obtained many clues. But in the end, he still couldn't find a way to fight or weaken the Blood Flower, the Outer God clone, and even lost another companion, a girl he loved.

Really... such a failure...

Slowly walked to the area where the girls were lying, Shijo Maki, Shinomiya Kaguya, Goto Ichiri and Kita Ikuyo, these four people were lying here quietly at this time, among which Maki, Kaguya and Ichiri all closed their eyes, as if they were asleep and didn't move at all. Kita's eyes were open, but her eyes were dull, as if she had drunk some intelligence-reducing medicine. It is estimated that the wave of mental damage she suffered before being killed in the third round stimulated her, and she hasn't fully recovered yet.

This child is really unlucky. She has been half-dead in the Red Moon-level copy for several months and tortured every day. After finally getting out, she happened to meet me again, and had to follow me into the high-level dungeon [Infant Crying Village] to face the gods above the monsters. Ah, speaking of the time when her soul was shattered in the second round, it took me several months to finally recover, and she also suffered a lot during that time.

But speaking of it, the next round is the fourth round.

I have entered the fourth round in Fujika Middle School and Yeluoshan Middle School before, and there are more than four rounds in Zaoli Elementary School, but that was caused by the "writer". In short, it is impossible to complete the dungeon in three rounds like in Shirakawa Apartment and Red Nut Gray Cave.

Each level is more difficult and more dangerous. When will it end like this?

Even though Gao Hai asked himself that he was determined and would not give up easily, the continuous setbacks and pain still made him sigh, and he felt tired and troubled from the bottom of his heart.

And Xiao Ai... I won't see her in the next round.

Like Miko, she had been captured and imprisoned by the power of the bloody flower. And it's different from Miko's situation. She encountered such a thing because of me. It was because the Blood Flower was paying attention to me that he found Little Ai who was acting with me at that time. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, even if Xiao Ai comes across that thing, he will not be completely imprisoned.

Moreover, this is probably not the end. Next, if the blood flower discovers the close relationship between me and the real concubine, Qianhua, and Kaguya Ichiri, he will definitely not let them go, and will find a way to bring them back. Catch them all.

To be honest, Gao Hai actually doesn't understand this thing. From what perspective does this bloody flower view the entire world, and why does it position itself as the "mother" of mankind, and do such a crazy thing to corrode and assimilate everyone and imprison them forever, giving them eternal beauty and happiness? Hallucination, Gao Hai really can't figure out the reason for this. It is also very confusing whether this thing can understand human emotions and needs, and whether it can communicate with humans. After all, he could observe the close relationship between himself and Hayasaka and take action, but he had no reaction at all when facing Gao Hai's attack and hostility. This was really quite disconnected in Gao Hai's view.

What exactly are the so-called bloody flowers?

Speaking of which, after this thing caught me, when I tried to escape through self-destruction, it seemed to have directly reversed the self-destruction of the black watch by injecting super large-scale life force, causing me to almost die.

Although he did succeed in burping later, the real cause of his death was not the function of the black watch, but the blood flower's inability to control the amount of vitality injected into it. As a result, the vitality in Gao Hai's body seriously exceeded the standard after he was forcibly restored. As a result, two things happened. Self-destruction. This thing sounds quite funny. After all, Xuehua obviously wanted to save Gao Hai's life, but in turn, he killed him. But if you think about it carefully, this thing is a bit scary.

The bloody flower can actually directly resist the power of the black watch, and it can actually defeat the watch.

No, I should have understood long after this thing captured Miko, that a black watch cannot have the absolute upper hand in front of this thing. His existence is a truly unrivaled and huge threat to me today, so big that even a cheat may overturn the situation.

Next week, if I encounter a blood flower, maybe... the self-suicide function of the watch will not work.

In other words, if I am caught by this thing again next time, it is very likely that I will be completely finished and will stop here.

There is no chance to go back again, no possibility to start over, to die completely, or to usher in eternity where life is worse than death. This is the reality that I need to face in the fourth week.

"Ah, just thinking about it makes me want to give up..."

Gao Hai sighed with emotion, looking increasingly tired.

Then, he simply lay down and rested his head on Zhen Fei's chest. He turned his head to look at the sleeping girl, then closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Not dreaming.

What Gao Hai experienced this time was a dark and steady sleep without dreams.

He didn't know how many hours he slept. After he woke up, Gao Hai yawned, stretched, and did a few push-ups on the spot to warm up. His whole body felt refreshed. The feeling of all worries being thrown away.

Well, that's impossible.

"After enough rest, it's almost time to get back to work. It's a pity that I don't have anyone to take my job. If I resign, I will lose my life. It's really not an easy job."

Gao Hai, who shook his head and sighed, sat on Kaguya's lap, then closed his eyes and started to activate the function of the black watch.

What he activated at this moment was the function of establishing spiritual links and deep links.

After the establishment of the former, Gao Hai and the founder can obtain the spiritual link provided by the black watch, while the latter allows the linkers to establish a transfer release mechanism of obsessions and blessings with each other, which means that the linkers can directly exchange The obsession they have with each other, and the power of blessing can be released in each other. It can be said that with these two functions, Gao Hai's team strength can be greatly improved. In the current crisis situation, it can be said to be a very critical life-saving skill.

Prior to this, only Zhenfei, Qianhua and Miko had established links. Although the other girls also developed a close relationship with Gao Hai, they had never been able to meet the activation conditions stipulated by the black watch, so that the matter had been delayed until Now.

Gao Hai knew that this was his own fault, the fault of himself as the captain, and the fault of being trusted by these girls.

Obviously I knew about this problem before, but I still never made up my mind to have a serious chat with Kaguya Xiaoai to find out what each other's problems were. I always think that if there is any problem, I will leave it to time to solve it, thinking that I will gradually overcome this problem in the future. It is precisely because I am not emotionally proactive and persistent enough and am always prone to compromise that there are gaps in the team's strength and that two teammates were captured in this dungeon.

Especially Jianzi. It was not the first time that her extraordinary perception had caused serious problems. Moreover, when he was in Yeluoshan Middle School, he had actually vaguely sensed that Jianzi's perception was evolving and becoming stronger, and he had also considered some way to limit Jianzi's ability. But in the end, he just thought about it and did not really solve the problem. Haha, after all, even if Jianzi had caused various problems before, he still successfully solved them in the end. To put it bluntly, he was not able to take this matter seriously in his mentality. He wishfully thought that although Jianzi's eyes were troublesome, he could find a way to suppress it even if something really happened.

It was really arrogant.

Now thinking back to his thoughts, Gao Hai's mouth curled up a bitter smile.

What is Jianzi's current state?

This girl who has always been trying to endure and help herself has been bound by the blood flower for a long time. If this continues, what will she become? If the time lasts too long, will it be possible for him to successfully rescue her?

Xiao Ai was the same. She pushed him away in the end because she knew that she was hopeless, so she hoped that he could run away. As a result, he simply gave up on himself, lifted the cognitive shield and looked at the sky, and was about to condense the fourth bomb to fight with Xuehua. If he didn't do this at that time, but continued to run, maybe he could hold on for a while longer, and maybe Zhenfei could take advantage of this time to conduct a deeper investigation of the statue and find some clues.

Tsk... What's the point of thinking about these now? What has happened will not change. The rollback is no longer an absolutely foolproof insurance, so every action from now on, I must be more cautious and careful.

There can be no more mistakes.

I have made more than one mistake, and now I am no longer a qualified captain. But I am the one holding the black watch, so whether I like it or not, I have to find a way to solve the problem. Then all he can do is to do everything he can to the best of his ability.

Click-click-click-

The hands of the black watch have begun to move.

Establishing a mental link consumes one retrieval slot, and establishing a deep mental link consumes two retrieval slots. Both types of links are permanent once established. Therefore, in order to establish a connection with Kaguya and Ichiri, Gao Hai needs to consume a full six retrieval slots to complete it. If there is no core given by the [Doll], Gao Hai will have to consume the number of slots on his watch to the [9] position in one go. It can be said that thanks to the active sacrifice of this KP, Gao Hai's survival pressure can be reduced.

Well, although this sounds a bit bad, it's like saying that the other party died well. But then again, if this guy hadn't actively put pressure on me, I wouldn't have to play this dungeon that exceeds the Red Moon level, and it's still a dungeon marked as [Dark Night Level]. To be honest, this thing is really fucked up, okay... No, it can't be said that way. The [Doll] had already made it clear before disappearing that the situation in this world is getting worse and worse. It is very likely that something will happen in the real world after this dungeon ends. If I am not strong enough by then, I am afraid that my fate will be quite miserable.

In the final analysis, this dungeon was set up by [Doll] to forcibly improve my strength, and it has told me this purpose in detail. From this point of view, this KP is actually on my side, on the side of players and human civilization. But I am still very unhappy... After all, after the KP violates the rules, he only needs to come over and say a few words and then die, while as the host of the black watch, I have to pass the extremely difficult dungeon, and there are too many things to consider...

Well, I was a little distracted, but this feeling is really okay.

Looking down, Gao Hai can clearly see that the pointer of the black watch has pointed to the position [6], directly halfway across the entire dial.

The three core rewind slots provided by [Doll] have also been exhausted, and like the three slots of [Writer] who are still being grilled, they have all become vacant and can only be filled later.

Both Kaguya and Ichiri have successfully established spiritual links and deep links. That is to say, starting from the fourth round, Gao Hai can have the safest spiritual communication with them, and their blessings and obsessions with Gao Hai can also be exchanged. The latter is a very critical point, especially Ichiri. With the function of deep link, even if Gao Hai and others can't achieve her superb playing skills, Ichiri can use this function to directly set the appearance location of the clone around other people, regardless of the distance between the two parties. After all, when the deep link is turned on, Ichiri can completely point the guitar's rules to all people who are linked, and treat them all as [himself].

Speaking of which, I can really establish a link with Ichiri.

Gao Hai lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

Gao Hai is actually confident that Kaguya can establish a connection. After all, after her heart-to-heart talk and Qianhua's encouragement, this awkward girl finally succeeded in expressing her feelings. Being able to do this is enough to prove that the relationship between the two parties has reached a new level. Especially the fact that Andres' blessing link was successfully established first is even more intuitive. But on Goto Ichiri's side, it was clear that he had never done anything frivolous with Ichiri before this. The two parties maintained a state of respect for each other and just spent at least a year together to save others. The result was Have the conditions been met?

In other words, Sese is not strictly necessary to achieve a link. As long as the trust between the two parties is deep enough, can it also be achieved?

I always feel that this ability is more suitable for places like the military. After all, the friendship between soldiers who share the joys and sorrows is relatively easy to cultivate, and it can also reach a very profound level. I just always feel that if this happens, the picture will become very erotic. After all, this link will allow each other to communicate with each other... No, I am thinking about something inexplicable. Delete it, delete it. This kind of thing must be deleted. Lose!

Reaching out and patting his forehead, Gao Hai concentrated again and focused on the mental link function of the watch.

There were relatively few people linking to this function before, so Gao Hai didn't pay too much attention to the shortcomings of this function. But now as more and more people link to this thing, it is necessary to make certain adjustments to its functions. We can't let this thing continue to be used in group chats. We need to distinguish between public and private frequency bands. Otherwise, when I use this function to flirt and joke with a girl, other people will be listening in the frequency band. What a feeling. Something is too wrong.

So soon, at Gao Hai's request, the function of the black watch was modified in detail, from the original mental communication frequency band where everyone was connected to different frequency bands divided into public and private. The public band is equivalent to a chat group, where everyone can communicate with each other. The private band requires linkers to communicate with each other and cannot bypass Gao Hai himself, who is the subject of the link.

For example, if Zhen Fei now wants to establish a private frequency band through a spiritual link, and if she wants to communicate with Gao Hai, she can establish a frequency band where only Zhen Fei and Gao Hai can communicate with each other. If Zhenfei wants to talk to Kaguya using the spiritual link, then she needs to set up a private chat with three people including Zhenfei herself, Gao Hai and Kaguya. In other words, the establishment of a private chat cannot bypass Gao Hai. After all, he is the holder of the black watch, and the power of the watch cannot take effect without his participation.

From this point of view, this watch is also a thing that recognizes death. Although it can take into account the consequences of Gao Hai when it turns on various functions, in fact it recognizes no one except Gao Hai. Once it wants to let this thing The power is effective when it is out of the high sea, and it may not be obedient.

"Anyway, we have solved a problem."

Gao Hai took a breath, and then concentrated again.

There is another function that needs to be modified, a function that will be very fatal if not modified, and that is the self-destruct function.

The parasitism problem of the bloody flowers was already very troublesome, but at least now he knew that it could be suppressed through the Fox Empress. The problem is that the self-destruction function of the black watch can be forcibly blocked by the blood flower. In the end, it has to rely on the thing to be unable to control the output and the force will die. This is very scary.

This time Xuehua couldn't grasp the balance of power and killed him. What about next time? He can accumulate information and find a way out through going back again and again, but the problem is that this thing will not be reset by going back. He can also improve his various methods through repeated contact with Gao Hai, and continue to weave more detailed, A cobweb that is even more difficult to escape from. Therefore, he must act on the premise that once the fourth eye is caught by the blood flower, the original self-destruction method will be immediately ineffective.

The first thing that needs to be changed is the method of suicide. It needs to be a simpler way of death that is less likely to be intercepted by blood flowers.

Then, on this basis, I also need to ensure that I am not the only one who can commit suicide. I have to set up a suicide function that can be activated at any time for the girls who have established a link with me!

While thinking, Gao Hai's thoughts were reflected on the black watch, and the sixth function of the black watch began to change. Originally this function was to let Gao Hai explode himself to death, but now this function has changed to the black watch directly pulling Gao Hai's soul out of his body and putting it inside the watch, and then blowing up his body to form a Gao Hai attempt. A pretense of self-destruction. And for those girls who have established deep links with Gao Hai, Gao Hai can also activate this function on them while they are conscious and not affected by any deflection, thus killing them directly.

It sounds very neurotic and inexplicable. Why does Gao Hai, a good man, insist on killing the girls he likes? But with the bloody flowers already taking away Miko and Hayasaka, he really couldn't bear the price of more people being taken away. Therefore, Gao Hai activates this function in order to kill the girls at the critical moment when he cannot save them from the plunder of the blood flowers, thereby ensuring that they can continue to act with him when the next game starts. .

...I really don’t want to wish for such an ability.

To be honest, Gao Hai's mood was very complicated.

He had to admit that his fear was becoming stronger and deeper.

Even though he could still pretend to be calm at this moment, deep in his heart, he could not help but imagine that the bloody flower took away all his loved ones, even all his teammates, all the players except him, and the villagers, etc., and he could only explore the dead village alone.

He could not accept such a scene becoming a reality.
