Chapter 581

This vegetative man, who Gao Hai thought was made of blood vines, reached out and struck the non-existent clapper board, just shaking his head and staying there, seemingly doing nothing, and as if waiting for himself to take some action.

{You are not a weirdo, you...are a self-aware and rational being, right? }

And Gao Hai has already understood that the so-called night watchman is probably like [Alice] from Tenghua Middle School, a kind of alien life in the skin of a weirdo. After all, the Alice he came into contact with was a monster with the same weird aura, but with the ability to think and break through the rules.

However, the reason why Alice was born is that some researchers have been playing with life, stimulating and combining the power of weirdos in various ways, and thus creating such a monster that has crossed the bottom line.

Although the villagers in the Xiaoheishan dungeon are more or less abstract, and anthropomorphic operations are one after another, even the Li family has not made any attempts to actively create rational weirdos, such a suicidal behavior. As for the mysterious Mr. Du, although there is not much information, Gao Hai has also understood his actions through the empathy of the thirty-eight-sided ornament, and he can be sure that he should not have done such a trick.

So how did the night watchman come from?

If its birth was not man-made, then... it was born? It was born directly in this copy? Just like the derivative obsession? But this doesn't seem right. This thing is completely different from the derivative obsession and can't be regarded as the same...

Or...

Gao Hai suddenly understood.

He looked at the night watchman in front of him, and suddenly recalled the vague world that KP Clown led him to when everything was destroyed after successfully cracking Yeluoshan Middle School and Baidos Research Institute, and what the clown told him at that time.

[...It is incomplete, has no self-awareness, and no real obsession exists. It is like an egg that was cut out before it matured, which is essentially equivalent to "nothing"]

That's right.

I got the root form of [Campus Tales].

A root form that failed to be conceived, equivalent to a "dead fetus".

At that time, I was not able to see the real root form, and according to KP, the real root form... will have self-awareness and its own obsession.

Just like the one who appeared in front of me now, with the two auras of divine blood and blood flower power as the foundation of the copy, exuding the aura of a weird thing, but knowing most of the things in the process of the copy's birth, watching and commenting coldly.

It is like a real weird thing, mixed in the copy without any problems, and even actively acts according to certain rules.

This is actually an alien in nature, a new life thing born from the gathering of the strange power of the [Sacrificial Game]. For hundreds of years, it has been silently watching everything happen, neither stopping nor joining, just watching.

The process of the three twisted families from development to destruction, the Li family, the Liu family, the Zhang family... were all seen by it.

Mountain God, Fox Goddess, Blood Flower... All the traces left by the gods, dead or alive, in this world are all in its sight.

I should have thought of it earlier.

Obviously Chacai had told me some of his inferences, and he had thought about whether there would be the root form in this copy. He just didn't expect that the root form of this copy would be mixed in with the weird things, showing itself to be no different from an ordinary weird thing, and never revealed itself from beginning to end. Not only that, this thing would even use the copy to invade the real world and run out, so that he and Jianzi almost ran into it head-on.

{You are the root form of this copy, you have been watching everything for so many years, and now you take the initiative to appear in front of me, what is your purpose? }

After a brief thought, Gao Hai decided to treat the other party as a serious intelligent creature, so he asked it with a serious expression.

[... Hehe]

Then, Gao Hai heard a strange laugh that he didn't know why.

The night watchman moved, stretched out his hand and tapped gently, as if the clapper that Gao Hai had taken away was still in his hand.

Gao Hai, who realized what this thing meant, didn't waste any words. He took out the clapper from the watch space and threw it over. The night watchman caught it and then tapped it hard.

Dang!

Even in deep water, the sound of the clapper was still extremely loud.

[This night watchman, he also had a name, called Li Qigou, a little carpenter in the village with no future]

Then, Gao Hai heard the night watchman's ups and downs, as if he was telling a story.

[He doesn't look like a member of the Li family. He is not greedy or robbed, doesn't kill people, doesn't get angry, is kind, and looks like he is being bullied]

[But this man is not good at other things, but he is brave. Others said that there were ghosts in the Ghost Crying Cave, but he didn't believe it and went in. As a result, he brought out the black stone of the mountain god]

[Hehe, that Li Qigou doesn’t understand anything. When his parents told him to worship his mother-in-law, he followed him to worship the mother-in-law; when the village chief asked him to worship the mountain god, he followed the mountain god; when the village chief told him not to tell the origin of the stone, He just kept silent; when the village asked him to be a watchman, he did so. Hey, then the village chief said that he was mauled to death by a bear, so everyone just assumed that he was mauled to death by a bear, hehe]

As he spoke, the watchman tapped the clapper board lightly and walked around Gaohai.

{You...are Li Qigou? }

Gao Hai, who didn't quite understand what the other party meant, was stunned for a moment and tried to ask.

[Li Qigou is the watchman, but the watchman is not Li Qigou, hehehe, it’s just that this person is dead, so the skin can still be used]

Then, in the next sentence of the watchman, Gao Hai roughly figured out what was going on, and realized that the shape of the source had borrowed the body of the dead Li Qigou and disguised it as a fightman. A weird thing with more artificial characteristics.

【How joyful is life, how painful is death】

[This thousand-year-old drama has been sung over and over again, but in the end it seems that it is still an animal drama performed in human skin]

The watchman stopped and continued to beat the clapper board, then turned to Gao Hai. The body made entirely of blood vines had no face or eyes, but Gao Hai had a strange feeling. He seemed to be able to feel the other person's gaze. It seemed that the watchman at this moment was looking at each other.

[Watching bad dramas again and again, I’m tired of them, but I was born in a drama, and I can’t leave even if I want to]

[Whether it’s harming people or saving people, I can’t escape from being born in this drama. I can only watch this drama getting worse and worse]

[If you ruin this show, then I have to applaud you. But if you really want to smash this thousand-year-old bad show, I'm afraid it won't be that easy. Can you do it? 】

After the last sentence was spoken, the watchman's wooden board gently poked Gao Hai's chest.

He could already vaguely feel the thoughts belonging to this inhuman thing.

As the form of the root, what it has seen in the dungeon in the form of a watchman over thousands of years is the division and confrontation of the three families, the successive destruction of the Zhang family and the Liu family. And the Li family's distortion and madness continued for hundreds of years after that.

It is not human, so it does not have any moral concepts. It appears in the copy as a monster and has even killed some guilty or innocent people through its monster body. Occasionally, it will also try to fight with Communicate with people and try to improve your understanding of people in order to further improve yourself.

But such moves ended long ago.

As the form of the origin of the copy, its essence is closely related to the copy. Under the influence of the Li family for hundreds of years, the [Infant Crying Village] dungeon has been completely fixed as a dungeon full of ignorance, cruelty and madness, and a series of related dungeons have also been infiltrated by this power, so every time The world it can touch and feel is all distorted in the same way. Everything is stagnant in the never-ending darkness, and there is nothing but decay and decay.

Therefore, it also stagnated along with it, no longer seeking further evolution or perfecting its own knowledge. It just wandered along with the copy for hundreds of years, blending into it as if it had truly become a person without The artifice of self and perception.

It has deeply understood that it is the root form of [Infant Crying Village] and the source of village-like copies.

It has also understood that since the source [Yingciao Village] is a decadent and crazy place under the control of the Li family, it can only turn the world it comes into contact into the same dirty and ignorant world. This is its essence, its own origin that it cannot defy. It was precisely after understanding this that it chose to stagnate, and it refused to try to further self-improvement like other root forms, and to truly release its power into the real world.

If we say that the root form of [campus gossip] is an incompletely developed stillborn fetus.

So what appears in front of Gao Hai now is the root form of this [Infant Crying Village], which is a severely deformed newborn. Moreover, it is a newborn that has become deformed because it actively stopped growing.

As the form of the source, its instinct will prompt it to constantly renew and evolve, releasing this crazy and twisted self. However, the closed and rigid nature of the copy of [Infant Crying Village] caused its existence to change accordingly, so that the root shape began to grow in an autistic direction, and eventually turned into the disabled appearance it has today.

In a sense, it can be said that it went against its own destiny and chose another path, right? Although if this road is really followed, the only result it can get is death.

Gao Hai couldn't help but think of the doll's KP again, and the word "destiny" that the other party always talked about. Although he didn't believe in absolute destiny, now, when he came into contact with the form of the source, he couldn't help but think of those words again.

However, these thoughts did not distract Gao Hai for too long.

At this moment when he had made up his mind and decided to fight to the death for survival, no messy thoughts could disturb him. Therefore, after confirming the watchman's true thoughts, he took the initiative to step forward and directly extended his hand.

puff--

The next moment, Gao Hai's hand penetrated the watcher's chest, and his tyrannical mental power began to absorb the power of this root form, sucking it all into Gao Hai's body.

{No matter what your reasons are for making this choice, thank you}

Gao Hai closed his eyes and pulled back his hand while saying this. The thing that was originally a night watchman was now only a pile of withered black and gray vines, which gradually dissipated in the water and ceased to exist.

It's enough.

Gao Hai clenched his fists, and his bones cracked at this moment.

The upgrade provided by [Root Form], although not as powerful as [Essence], is enough for Gao Hai to control this power.

Now, if he wants to merge [Essence], he will definitely be able to show more powerful power than the last round. Gao Hai even has a faint feeling that if he merges [Essence] now, he may be able to show several times the combat power of the last round, and can do all kinds of power control that was originally impossible.

This feeling... So that's it. Unlike [Essence], the stability of the root form itself is extremely strong. It is a specially regulated tonic that is truly the most suitable for human upgrades. In comparison, [Essence] does not have strict quality control after all. The native gods of the earth have injected too much power into this thing, so a complete [Essence] is something that ordinary people cannot bear no matter what. Even Red Moon-level players will die if they encounter this thing.

From this point of view, the existence of [Sacrificial Game] is really helping humans, who are low-level civilizations, to gradually upgrade.

There is no time for emotion.

When the water body begins to show more and more unstable phenomena.

When the silt at the bottom of the lake is lifted up with the violent tremors of the earth.

When Gao Hai once again feels the familiar and terrifying breath spreading.

He knows that victory or death depends on this last bit of time, and there will be no chance to go back and start over. The bloody flower that completely escaped at a speed far exceeding any previous round will never give Gao Hai any chance again, and Gao Hai, who has made a decisive choice, does not intend to leave himself any retreat.

{Come on, come on, since you want me so much, and want this world so much, then come and try it}

In the spiritual world, Gao Hai said to himself calmly.

Then the next moment, with the help of the power of [essence], Gao Hai directly opened a space crack at the bottom of the lake, and entered the crack directly under the water flow that swept up in an instant and the blood-colored vines that spread from all directions.

Chapter 153 Give civilization the light of upgrading, and the first cry of the god of birth

The city under the sun is still as noisy as yesterday.

In the hustle and bustle of traffic, pedestrians are either hurried or leisurely passing by, spending another day of ordinary life.

At the same time, other players have passed the dungeon and returned to the real world. The players who finally escaped death are either happy for their own survival or sad for the departure of their companions. There are also players who can no longer bear it and start looking for various ways to vent to express the psychological pressure accumulated after surviving again. Of course, for those players who didn't come back alive, everything in the real world has nothing to do with them. Even if there may be companions who remember their existence, all the traces they left in the real world have been completely forgotten and disappeared.

The future that was hit by Gao Hai's casual blow and the aftermath of the blow no longer exists with the retrospection of the black watch. Ordinary people and players in this world now naturally don't know that in a copy that has broken the barriers of time and space and can be connected to the real world, an incarnation of an alien god and a player holding the essence of a planet-level god can break into the real world at any time and set off a disaster that can easily exterminate mankind.

Gao Hai stopped.

He raised his head and looked around.

The surrounding space showed a blurred and distorted structure, and the chaotic colors continued to combine and dissipate, unable to gather into something with substance. The turbulent vortex formed a not-so-large passage, and Gao Hai himself floated in this color, as if he was in a gorgeous dream.

Occasionally, from these distorted colors, you can see the structure of Lijia Village in Xiaoheishan. Sometimes these colors will form the appearance of Tokyo City, or other cities around the world, as well as some famous landmarks, such as the Statue of Liberty, the Golden Gate Bridge, the Sydney Opera House, the Eiffel Tower, the London Bridge, etc. But these things will immediately break apart in less than half a second after condensing, turning into colorful bubbles and sinking back into those floating colors.

This is the gap between two time and space, between the real world and the copy world, a passage that can dissipate at any time, forcibly opened by Gao Hai's control of the power of [Essence]. Because of this, this space will simultaneously present the illusory scenes of different worlds on both sides.

For Gao Hai, who has now absorbed two copies of [Root Form] and holds the plug-in-level prop [Essence], this scene means that the copy barrier of [Sacrifice Game] can no longer restrict him. If Gao Hai wanted to, he could even force his way to other dungeon worlds and disconnect the links between the Sacrifice Game and the real world one by one.

Of course, he wouldn't do that. He didn't have the time. Although he could return to the real world by taking a step forward, he had to act quickly at this critical moment to complete the next task.

But then again, why were all these landmark buildings that often appeared in disaster movies and were destroyed? Wouldn't that be a bit unlucky?

"call……"

Taking a deep breath, Gao Hai, standing at the gate of the real space, slowly raised his hand.

In front of his sight, in the city revealed in the floating colors, people who knew nothing about it were still going about their daily lives.

And if he turned his head and looked back, Gao Hai could see that the road back to [Yingtiao Village] was already submerged by endless bloody vines.

…No, don’t run away from your mother again…

...Mom can give you everything you want...

...and mom, let's be together forever...

The whisper of the blood-colored flowers, which was extremely gentle, but also extremely cruel in Gao Hai's eyes, was already approaching him. The blood flowers chasing him continued to speed up, as if they wanted to completely engulf Gao Hai before they would slow down a little. pace. No, even if he catches himself, Gao Hai is sure that he will not stop. After all, the purpose of this thing is all life on the earth.

Well, since you care so much about the creatures on this planet and want to bless them and transform them into upgraded beings, I will help you.

Gao Hai turned around and looked at the floating bubbles at the space junction in front of him again, with only perseverance remaining in his expression.

Many planetary gods in the past failed to find a way to fight against the unknown darkness in the end, so they all fell due to the trauma of fighting the blood flowers, leaving only a few remnants hiding in a corner of the world to survive.

Although the [Essence] they finally created did give humans the opportunity to ascend to godhood, the power of this thing was so huge that it incorporated the power of all the remaining gods, so that even Gao Hai had far exceeded Players with Red Moon level players' combat power will also experience physical collapse after absorbing it, and have to endure the pain of repeated destruction and repair of their bodies before they can barely adapt to this power.

It is conceivable that if there is no Gao Hai, if it is an ordinary Red Moon-level player, even if a top-level Red Moon-level player comes into contact with [Essence], the result will be a dead end, and it is impossible to truly complete the upgrade. .

Of course, the local gods cannot be blamed. After all, they were actually the original victims of the malicious design in Chaos. They were able to hand over the [Essence] when they were unable to determine who the enemy was and did not have enough time to operate and modify their own power. The answer sheet is the limit for them. Therefore, Gao Hai has no negative thoughts about these dead old gods. All he has in his heart is admiration and gratitude. After all, it is impossible to achieve his own plans without the relics of these old gods.

"The essence of upgrading is the improvement of cognitive ability and one's own soul status. Relatively speaking, changes in the external body are secondary. However, the essence is the essence after all, even if it is diluted billions of times, Its power will not cause changes, so even if it acquires an essence that is so weak that it is almost imperceptible, it is enough to make progress possible.”

Click!

In his calm words, Gao Hai crushed the invisible thing entangled in his hands.

Buzz——

The unexpected change made the movement of the bloody vine slightly slow.

And Gao Hai has not hesitated to activate the power of the root form and further crush it through the connection between himself and [Essence].

Click——click——

There seemed to be faint points of light emerging, slowly drifting around.

In the gap outside this world that no one can see and only an external god incarnates to watch, Gao Hai closed his eyes and spent all his mental energy on repeatedly cutting and tearing the "essence", and this The power of ascending the gods was completely shattered into nearly endless dust.

Then, in the real world, someone stopped.

"Is it raining?"

A passerby who was carrying a briefcase and preparing to go to work noticed the light spots passing by, so he raised his head with some doubts, and then saw one after another flickering light falling from the sky.
