Chapter 575

Qianhua, who is not good at fighting, did not contribute much in this action. She was just running with the team. Of course, she was also constantly thinking about what actions she should take after finding the altar. Not knowing how long Chachai and the others could delay, Qianhua felt that she had to be prepared to activate the altar as soon as she found it. But there is no way to determine how to activate the altar, and whether it will have a worse impact after activation. We can only try to imagine the bad possibilities and make plans.

Rumble——

The violent vibration sounded again.

Compared with the last time, the oscillation interval this time was more than 3 seconds. Between the two shocks, the players looking for the altar did not feel any noise from the surroundings.

{Have a guess, brother...it still doesn't work...}

Tang Yuan sighed softly, but the expression on his face was not too sad, and he seemed to have taken it for granted.

Behind a few people, in the cave that had become fragmented and seemed to be about to collapse, Mr. Du adjusted his clothes a little and looked at the three people opposite him with a very impatient expression.

"After struggling for so long, it's almost over. What's the point of continuing to fight hard? I remember that you players are not a sick-brained organization like [Suppressing Strangers], right? When the situation is not good, you will find a way to disperse. Escape is a normal thing, right?"

Mr. Du was a little confused. He looked at Chacai, who had lost the statue of the four monkeys and had almost half of his body torn apart. At this time, he was losing more air and less air. In the confrontation just now, Chachai angered Mr. Du because he stole the core obsession that he had hidden, so he received special attention. He was unable to sustain himself in a series of blows. After exhausting his life-saving obsession, All he could do was wait for death.

Brother Cat is still standing. Even though he is covered in injuries and the aging of his body has become much more serious, at least he is still maintaining his standing posture. As for Xiao Guo, who acted with Brother Cat, it was a pity that the other party could not last too long in front of Mr. Du. Not long after Chachai was defeated, he was killed by the power of the monster controlled by Mr. Du.

In other words, I am the only one left now.

"call……"

After taking a breath, Brother Cat once again activated his strange power in silence, intending to try to continue to entangle with this Mr. Du.

"Is it so insufferable? Is it so difficult for you cowardly fools to face your destiny honestly? This is really funny."

Mr. Du's voice was filled with joy as he looked at Li Xiaoxiao's face. He took one step and cracked his method in a way that Brother Cat couldn't understand at all. In an instant, his body suffered even more serious trauma, so severe that Brother Cat was almost torn apart by Mr. Du's attack.

But even so, he still avoided further attacks. His whole body turned into flying pieces of paper in an instant, and then reassembled, returning directly to his intact body.

"Can you still hide? It's endless..."

Mr. Du's frown deepened. He had obviously mastered power far beyond the upper limit of these garbage. There was no reason why he hadn't solved them all for so long.

Forget it, this is the last person left anyway. Use a wider coverage method to see if you can erase this thing in one go.

While thinking, Mr. Du stretched out his hand again and prepared to kill Brother Cat with one blow. At the same time, Brother Cat raised his head and looked at Mr. Du who was not far away.

Rumble, rumble——

The attack had no effect.

Although it was completely unclear how the other party did it, after the attack was completed, Brother Cat was indeed still alive, albeit with some new injuries.

What's going on? Why hasn't this human been killed for so long?

His attack should have actually been launched.

With the power he possesses, even if the opponent has superhuman reaction speed and various extraordinary items to protect him, he should not be able to persist for such a long time.

So how did he avoid all fatal threats and survive just right?

It can't be that it's calculated in advance, it's some kind of prophecy-like ability, right?

Mr. Du's guess is not wrong.

The reason why Brother Cat himself was able to persist until the end was that before the death of the fake Taoist priest Li Nianyou, he transferred all the transferable power to Brother Cat.

There is no doubt that it is impossible to directly confront the attack methods exerted by the power of [Shape of Root]. The gap between the two sides is really too big. There is no point in trying to bypass the attack to deal with Mr. Du. This thing is obviously out of the human category to a certain extent. Even a death curse can only slightly slow down the efficiency of this thing. But if one predicts the landing point of the attack in advance and then continues to act, the risk will naturally be reduced a lot, but this will only allow him to persist a little longer.

At this time, Brother Cat was able to survive the fatal attacks just like this.

Not only has he persisted until now, but he has also discovered some possible limitations of Mr. Du's seemingly unmatched power.

"It's absolutely disgusting."

In the murmur, the power of the root shape was activated again, but Mr. Du's attack was once again dodged by Brother Cat, and once again there was a slight "difference" with its observation.

Brother Cat took another deep breath, wiped the blood from his forehead, and continued to stare at the enemy in front of him.

As long as you leave your original position as soon as the attack is launched, or cause the enemy to misjudge your position, you can avoid the attack, at least avoid most attack methods. The reason is very simple. Mr. Du must first complete the [observation] of the target before he can provide stable attack coordinates for his own power. Otherwise, it will be like the mental pollution it continuously releases. Although it is still very powerful, it is impossible to really kill anyone in a short time because the power is completely dissipated.

He is not skilled in his abilities.

After several uses of his prophecy ability and careful observation, Brother Cat confirmed this fact.

Although this Mr. Du always pretends to be in control of everything, he must observe to launch precise attacks, and the fact that the attack will not change the landing point as the target moves has clearly revealed the cumbersome nature of the opponent's capabilities. Such an extremely limited ability cannot be called the power of a god. The only reasonable explanation is that this guy has not stably mastered this power at all. I am afraid that he was able to achieve the fusion [Shape of the Root] after getting Li Xiaoxiao's body. ] action, right?

"You do exist as a monster in the copy. That individual is fake, it is your body that has lost your soul, and it is the thing that bears the cause and effect of the copy itself on your behalf. And the real you has been hiding in this secret space until the time is right. Did the appearance of a container allow you to gain access to the power you have coveted for a long time? If this is the case, then you are indeed not avoiding all cause and effect, because there will also be cause and effect in the person you possess, and the possessed person will also have cause and effect. Action reconnects you to the world."

In a steady voice, Brother Cat, whose condition was getting worse, looked at Mr. Du and said. Although these words are basically speculations, and there are many things that Brother Cat himself is not sure of, but judging from Mr. Du's somewhat changed expression, Brother Cat feels that his guess is probably right.

"Obviously he is just a human being who obeys order, but I didn't expect that he has some brains. Haha, you are right. The person possessed by me does have a cause and effect with this world, but do you think I can't predict such a thing? This The cause and effect of the body has gone away with her soul, and I will only leave a clean body."

Mr. Du stopped and rarely responded to Brother Cat's words. It's just that his tone sounded like he was praising, but in fact it was full of ridicule and contempt. It was not difficult to see that he just wanted to laugh at the conclusion deduced by Brother Cat, and just wanted to express his contempt for Brother Cat.

"That's the same, you still can't avoid cause and effect."

But Brother Cat shook his head, his attitude did not change.

"Even if you avoid [Li Xiaoxiao]'s own cause and effect, you can't avoid the cause and effect of being a [player]. From the moment you occupy this identity, no matter what plans you have next, your ending will only follow The world will die together, and there will be no other possibility. This is something I have 'foreseen' countless times."

Although I didn't really want to do this, after inheriting part of Li Nianyou's obsession and abilities, Brother Mao's speaking style became more or less like that of his teammate.

"Player? Do you think this kind of thing has any restrictions on me? Hahahaha, I have to admit, I'm starting to feel sorry for you now."

But what Brother Cat didn't expect was that after he said these words, Mr. Du burst into laughter as if he had heard a big joke.

"I have seen real gods, which are unimaginable existences for you."

"And I, who follow such a great being, have authority that you cannot understand."

"The so-called player status is only a limitation for low-level creatures like you. As someone who is favored by the true God, I don't have to bear any price at all."

He raised his head proudly and pointed to the stone wall above his head, as if he was pointing to the top of the stone wall, pointing to something that Brother Cat couldn't see.

"I have played an extremely important role in this pleasant drama. In this way, I will definitely be loved by God. He will give me the opportunity to spread more chaos and create chaos in more worlds. It will never be allowed to happen. My status as a mere player limits me.”

"And you are just victims used to please Him, poultry used for sacrifice and entertainment. I know that you want to find my altar and try to make sacrifices to counterattack me, right? No. It’s useful, I am the highest-ranking existence here, no matter what you do, the result will be a dead end——"

The fanatical belief radiates out without any cover, and the vicious and joyful emotions are also released soon after.

However, he could not finish his words.

After a strange aura was released from the cave, Mr. Du's smile suddenly deformed, and he spit out a large mouthful of blood.

"vomit!!!"

Chapter 147: The twisted monster that completes the return and the person who goes to death first

What is the definition of God?

This problem has troubled Du Jiahuan for a long time.

As a trafficker at the bottom of society who walks the streets and alleys looking for suitable targets, Mr. Du's experience can be considered relatively rich. Whether it is stealing or robbing children from certain families after selecting targets, or classifying the kidnapped children according to their uses, such as extorting money from children from wealthy families, selling beautiful and obedient children to brothels or to some high-ranking officials with special hobbies, selling ordinary children to those rich people as servants, and considering the direction of cutting and dismembering the worse ones, either cutting off their hands and legs to become beggars, or cutting open their chests and digging out their hearts to become sacrifices for those cults or medicinal materials for folk prescriptions.

Words like cruelty and viciousness have no meaning to Du Jiahuan. Since he can take this path, how can the hypocritical words such as human compassion stop Du Jiahuan. Of course, Du Jiahuan himself still believed in God, but he believed that everything in this life would only be settled after death, and as long as he donated enough money to Taoist temples and other places, then after death he would have more merits than faults and would not be punished. Because of this idea, Du Jiahuan even behaved like a devout believer.

However, it was precisely because he stepped into such a despised and sinful road that Du Jiahuan was able to come into contact with many things that he had originally found difficult to touch. While traveling around the country, he gradually discovered some terrifying things hidden under the appearance of the world, and began to come into contact with things that ordinary people might not be able to touch in their lifetime.

Strange things.

At that time, Du Jiahuan didn't know what he was touching. He just found that some children who died in his hands inexplicably crawled up again, and they couldn't be killed no matter how they were beaten, and they caused serious damage to his team. These inexplicable things frightened Du Jiahuan so much that at first he thought he had done too many bad things and was being punished. But later, in the process of constantly escaping from those things, Du Jiahuan gradually came into contact with some things under the dark side of the world, and began to gradually understand the existence of strange things and what he was encountering.

Of course, due to the limitations of the times, Du Jiahuan, like most people who came into contact with strange things, just regarded these things as evil spirits running out of the underworld to take lives, and could not really understand the essence of this existence. It was just because Du Jiahuan himself did not want to sit and wait for death anyway, so he tried his best to find those masters who knew about strange things and learned how to deal with them. He even got a few obsessions by courage, luck and the sacrifice of some subordinates.

However, there was a question that made Du Jiahuan toss and turn.

If there really were strange things in this world, if these things were really evil spirits, then why were their actions so rigid? As long as their behavior patterns were correctly analyzed, they could be restricted in their actions, and it was even possible to obtain props with extraordinary power from them?

If these things are from the underworld, can we say that there is no such thing as posthumous reckoning? If gods and weird things are the same, then is it impossible for my previous beliefs to get any response?

If gods are really such a thing... No, that's not right. God has never really appeared in front of me, whether it is a god who comes to help me, a god who comes to judge me, or a god who doesn't care about me at all. Du Jiahuan has never seen them. On the contrary, he has only seen one guy after another who uses the name of God to make money. In the past, he thought that everything would be settled after death, so he didn't pay too much attention to those things, but after the real supernatural existence appeared in front of him, Du Jiahuan slowly began to question his original thoughts, and confusion spread.

Does God really exist?

If he exists, what does God look like?

What should I explore, believe in, and follow?

[So, what is the definition of God? Mr. Du, in your eyes, what kind of existence is qualified to be called God? 】

A voice answered him.

In that strange and twisted place that seemed to be an inn, the figure with a smile on his face was answering his questions and asking him questions at the same time.

[Is it a powerful being that can never be defeated by humans? ]

[Or is it a wise man with endless wisdom? Is it a rich man who owns all the treasures in the world? Is it a clown who can perform all kinds of magical tricks that ordinary people can't have? ]

[No, no, no, in my opinion, Mr. Du, the so-called God only represents one thing, that is, the cognitive boundary of human beings]

The words of the figure were extremely soft, like sweet honey, which made Du Jiahuan immersed in it involuntarily and unable to continue thinking. But even so, the other party's voice was constantly pouring into his mind, forcing him to understand and think about the other party's words, as if the voice had some kind of power that could ignore his will and be understood by him.

[When people cannot understand the weather, the flickering of flames and other natural phenomena, these things are gods to people]

[When people explore the earth, the ocean and the stars, the places they cannot reach are gods]

[And, when individuals need to rely on something because of their lack of wisdom or the fragility of their hearts, the things that can give them sustenance, whether real or false, are all their gods]

[Although many people call me God, I have never thought of myself as a God. I am the embodiment of chaos, and a part of this ever-changing universe. For some lives, I am an incomprehensible and terrifying existence, so they regard me as a devil, and also as a God. But for other beings similar to me, or lives that have grown to the point of looking me in the face, I may be a threat, or something that can be used, and of course more often an annoying thing, but not a God]

[In my opinion, the confusion you are in is that you cannot understand this, Mr. Du. Haha, I can see that although you have done all kinds of evil, although you seem to be hard-hearted and morally corrupt, and even feared by your own men. But you actually have a fragile side. You hope to find comfort in God, but the existence of weird things breaks your original cognitive boundaries. You begin to realize that the gods you once believed in may not be what you desire, and those things that are claimed to be supernatural may not be so elusive, so the gods you originally placed your trust in begin to become illusory in your eyes. This is a heavy blow to you who are inherently too fragile.]

[Hehe, for you, it is too important to find a new sustenance outside the boundaries of understanding. But this sustenance cannot be found casually, because you are not like a real fool who is unable to think and can only follow blindly. You discovered the dull and irrational characteristics of the weird things, so you will begin to think about the existence of extraordinary powers and gods, and will not be fooled by the things that pretend to be gods. But you are not smart enough, because you can't set boundaries for yourself by your own will. You still need something that is enough for you to recognize as a sustenance so as not to lose control, especially on the basis that there are often some cute little things that cause trouble for you]

[In this case, why don't you try to accept my love? Although I can't really love every living being in the universe like a certain sister, nor can I look at the boundary between order and chaos with an absolutely objective attitude and maintain it perseverely like a certain brother, but if it is about guiding confused souls on how to move forward, I believe that I, every me, all the me in different worlds and different forms, will respond with 100% enthusiasm. So, let me guide you, let me love you, how about it, my dear Mr. Du? 】

On the magnificent gambling table, he finally found the existence that he could pursue forever.

Ah, yes, I am loved by the gods.

I am already a believer of chaos, so I must obey the will of chaos and take action for the great game that will be held in this world.

Xiaoheishan? Li family? Haha, what a filthy and crazy desire, this family, the people of this village have undoubtedly been corrupted by their own desires. As long as they are properly guided, all of them will become my gifts to chaos.

As for that Li Ziyong, haha, since he wants to play, then play with him. Let him have a sweet dream for a while, and then let everything turn into a nightmare. Isn't this a good thing?

It just so happens that I also need to get rid of the connection between me and this copy to avoid becoming one of the core obsessions. Then let me fake my death in a suitable way. My body and the twisted soul prepared in advance will be given the core status, and my soul will sleep in my shelter until the opportunity to leave this place comes. By that time, I have to collect some interest from this place. After all, only by becoming stronger can I do more for the gods.

Mr. Du is very confident that his plan should be perfect.

However, he didn't know that after this, the existence of the weird things gradually disappeared, and became less and less with the changes of the times. The people who mastered the extraordinary power and inherited the bloodline of the Li family did not appear as soon as expected, but were late for hundreds of years.

He also didn't know the existence of the players. He just knew that those areas with terrible weird things would eventually be transformed by the gods of chaos and become the so-called trial land, providing opportunities for transcendence for certain individuals.

God hasn't given me any new orders for a long time. I think maybe what I've done here is far from enough. After all, I've been hiding myself. The villagers themselves are the ones who really make the choice. Compared to some imperceptible things buried in this place, such a drama is not exciting enough and will never satisfy God. In this case, I'll make some more arrangements. Hehehe, I'm sure that with my further performance, God's eyes will definitely be more on me! ! !

{An antisocial lunatic who was fooled into believing in Naya? I've been fooled to this extent. I really don't know what to say... Well, don't mind, I'm just a little emotional}

Before Gao Hai went out alone to pursue Li Ziyong, he had sensed the thirty-eight-sided body that existed as the core obsession. Gao Hai certainly knew the information about the [Wangsheng Hotel] that Qianhua saw in the hallucination.

Well, to be honest, he was actually quite confused when he first learned about this information. Especially after knowing that the hotel owner's name begins with the character "Nai", he felt even more that everything was going to be ruined.

The source of the black watch, a prop that can trace back the time of the entire universe, is the One of All Things. The bloody flower currently seems to be the incarnation of a certain mother of all things, or the incarnation of the incarnation. Now there is a stupid believer who was fooled by the Faceless One and came to this dungeon to stir up trouble. How should I put it? This small village dungeon, the things mixed in it are a bit too high-end when traced back?

Of course, considering that the things that have appeared so far can only be said to be connected with some great existences, and cannot really be equivalent to those existences, Gao Hai does not think that he needs to be too vigilant. Apart from anything else, although this Chaos believer named "Mr. Du" did operate very beautifully, while making himself the core obsession, he also gave his soul consciousness the opportunity to separate, thus getting the possibility of escaping from this dungeon. But this premise is that he is not so greedy and does not want to continue to make trouble after getting the opportunity to escape. Unfortunately, he did not make the right choice, so now that he possessed Li Xiaoxiao, a player of the Sacrifice Game, he reestablished the connection with the copy and reconnected with his separated weird clone.

Therefore, considering the possible actions of Mr. Du, Gao Hai discussed the coping methods with Qianhua before setting off.

"Impossible... Impossible Impossible Impossible Impossible... This is impossible... Ah Ah Ah Ah..."

Mr. Du knelt on the ground with a miserable howl, and kept spitting out more blood.

In the way of death he arranged for himself, Li Ziyong poisoned Mr. Du's food out of revenge after discovering that all his villagers had been transformed into part of the mountain god and could no longer leave Xiaohei Mountain, causing him to fall to the ground and spit blood and die.

This way of death is very ungraceful and very embarrassing, but it is precisely because of this that Li Ziyong believes that he is really dead. In fact, he was just spitting out fake blood prepared in advance, and the real him had already left his body before that.

However, now, this way of death has been re-enacted on Mr. Du. And unlike the last time, Mr. Du, who was forced to merge with the part of the obsession monster again, truly felt the intense pain of the poison corroding his body and his organs gradually dissolving.

There is no reason, there is no reason, why did this happen?

He... Its eyes were cast on the hidden altar, which was a trap it had prepared long ago. The strong mental pollution carefully prepared was enough to destroy the minds of all intruders. Those players who wanted to use the altar to target it should die immediately.

Thinking of this, Mr. Du saw several trance figures standing around the altar and a box of candies lying on the ground.

[Animal Candy Box], a dark night-level obsession with a strong random effect, and which would give the user a penalty of reduced intelligence for taking out too much candy in a short period of time. This level of props should not have much meaning in this copy, but if the effect of the obsession is only directed at the user itself, then this thing can still provide some unexpected characteristics.

Therefore, Qianhua and others who successfully found the altar, after realizing that this place had a very terrible mental pollution effect, used the side effects of this prop to temporarily turn all the team members into mental retards, making it impossible for everyone to understand the power of mental pollution, and used the thought stamp planted in advance to complete the actions discussed in advance.

That is to sacrifice the 38-sided body as the core obsession to the altar, and return this thing representing Mr. Du's obsession and faith to this Chaos believer who thought he could control everything in secret.

As a very critical core obsession in the copy system of the Sacrifice Game, this 38-sided body was not taken away by the god. Even if the act of sacrifice did trigger the power of the god, as Gao Hai guessed, the other party was very "rules-abiding" in a sense, so he did not take away this core obsession, making it absolutely impossible to crack the copy. As for the possibility that the other party would break the rules and take the obsession after taking such a risky move, Gao Hai was not sure at the time, but he was sure that if the other party really did that, it would be confirmed that the other party wanted the deity to intervene, and then he naturally didn't have to consider how to crack the copy.

"Ahhh... why... why?"
