Chapter 1092: Escape (Two in One, please subscribe!!!)

"So the 'god' mind took over his body?" Caesar asked.

"To be precise, it should be that the thoughts of 'God' were forcibly instilled into his consciousness." Chu Tianjiao said, "It feels like a layer of shackles has been put on the brain. Vincent still retains his own personality, but he must act according to the instructions of 'God'."

"The human brain is a very complex machine. It usually operates based on a certain behavior pattern. If Vincent's brain is an old machine, the mask is equivalent to inserting a USB flash drive into the machine and injecting a brand new system into the machine." Chu Zihang whispered, "But if you force it to do so, there will always be conflicts between the new system and the old system, just like two completely unfamiliar programs. The probability of being completely compatible is infinitely close to zero. If Vincent is forced to act according to the will of God, once something conflicts with his original idea, the more powerful program will overwrite the other program, but if the original program is strong enough, the two will conflict and contradict each other. This is why Vincent struggles every time you mention Xi Te La, and is then suppressed by the will of God."

"As an ordinary person without bloodline, it is amazing that Vincent can achieve this." Lu Mingfei said.

"Vincent said that he now understands that there is no so-called 'God' in this world, only the devil. The devil is omnipotent, but if you want the devil to do something for you, you have to pay a price... maybe a price you can't afford at all." Chu Tianjiao said, "Vincent said that he knows that the devil will not resurrect his leader. I am right. Even if that person is resurrected, he is no longer the leader, but a puppet with the body of the leader. The devil is just using him... No, he is actually of no use to the devil. The devil is just teasing him, just like humans teasing ants."

“This Vincent… is quite self-aware.” Lu Mingfei said this with a complicated expression.

At first, Lu Mingfei, like everyone else in the room, thought that Vincent was a sinister and cunning old man, and that he had been brainwashed by the villain leader's words. He was a paranoid and disgusting guy.

But when Vincent said this, Lu Mingfei felt a little sad for some reason... Maybe this is what they mean by "there must be something hateful about pitiful people."

"After I shattered the mask, Vincent's consciousness was liberated. He realized everything, so his expression was so confused and helpless, like a sad child." Chu Tianjiao paused, "Vincent was not sad because he was going to die soon, he was sad because he thought he found a way to resurrect the Führer, but in the end it was just a ridiculous scam. He felt that he had let the Führer down, and his faith collapsed. It was so cruel, so helpless, and so sad."

"I asked Vincent if he knew anything else about 'God' and this place. I told Vincent that the more he knew, the more likely it would be for me to escape from this place. Only by escaping alive can I help him find a way to resurrect his leader. If all of us die here, his beliefs and his ambitions will be buried here together." Chu Tianjiao said, "Vincent glanced at me and gave me a bitter and desperate smile. What Vincent said next was completely beyond my expectations. He said he knew that I didn't actually want to help him resurrect his leader."

"I said I would help you. I promised you I would do it." Chu Tianjiao said, "But Vincent shook his head. He said that even if I wanted to, I couldn't do it. His leader was dead. He died in the Antarctic base in 1985. The dead cannot be resurrected. The person who comes back to life is not the same person... When Vincent said these words, his eyes were empty and lifeless, like a man who has lost everything."

Everyone had complicated expressions. Vincent had insisted all his life to resurrect his leader, but it was impossible for his leader to be resurrected. The moment he knew the truth, his will collapsed completely... The collapse of a person's faith is like having his soul sucked out, especially for a paranoid and crazy guy like Vincent. His will to resurrect Xital was so strong, and he must be so heartbroken at this moment.

"I admit that I was a little anxious. I thought Vincent would give up hope. Just when I was thinking about how to persuade him, Vincent suddenly spoke again. He took the initiative to say that he was willing to tell me everything he knew last time." Chu Tianjiao said, "I was surprised because I didn't know why Vincent wanted to do this. After all, he was dying and his world collapsed. He also knew that I couldn't help him revive his leader, but Vincent told me that he had no regrets about dying here, and he would just consider it as repaying his debt."

"Vincent said he did a lot of bad things in his life, whether it was when he was young during the internal pawns or when he was old and came to the 'Yamal'. In order to resurrect the Führer, he killed people, both directly and indirectly. He broke the law and caused many people to lose their families." Chu Tianjiao said, "Vincent said that he felt that I was not a bad person, and neither were his crew members. We didn't need to die here. Bad people go to hell after they die, but innocent people should not die at the hands of the devil."

"Vincent told me the password to his safe and the money he had in a bank in Zurich. He hoped I could share it with the families of his crew members if we could get out alive." Chu Tianjiao said, "Then Vincent told me that after he put on the mask given by the white figure, what entered his mind was not only countless instructions and consciousness, but also some secrets about this place."

"Vincent said that the tree in the center of this island is the World Tree. His first sentence scared me because according to legend, the World Tree has been bitten by the Black King. How could it be in the Nibelungen?" Chu Tianjiao said, "Although this tree is very tall, unprecedentedly tall, the real World Tree should be more shocking than it. Even the Dragon King is nothing compared to it. Only the most ancient emperor can compete with it."

"Vincent said that in the mind of 'God', this tree is just a replica of the real World Tree. This tree was created by 'God', and 'God' hopes that it can one day replicate the glory of the real World Tree." Vincent said, "But this world is full of death. Any creature that stays in this world for too long will naturally age and decay. To feed such a big tree, a constant supply of nutrients is needed."

"Nutrients?" Caesar frowned slightly. "That's why the animals and plants on this island are grayish-white. They are not infected by the breath of death, but their vitality is all used as nutrients to supply the tree."

"And there are those 'cocoons'." Lu Mingfei whispered, "Uncle Chu said that those 'cocoons' can move, and the things inside are alive. Those should also be important nutrients." I don't know what is in those "cocoons", but Lu Mingfei always feels that it is related to dragons.

"Yes, I subconsciously looked at those 'cocoons'. Vincent noticed my gaze and told me that they were all former subordinates of 'God'. Because they made mistakes or lost their functions, 'God' used them as nutrients for the World Tree." Chu Tianjiao said, "'God' gave them 'eternal life'. Their blood continuously supplied the tree, so it grew so huge and even developed wisdom."

"Vincent also said that there is more than one such island. At the center of each island is a huge tree. The entire island is a petri dish for trees." Chu Tianjiao said, "In the end, other trees will also become nutrients for a certain tree. This is a human-intervention 'survival of the fittest'."

"It sounds like raising a Gu." Nono commented.

"That's why Vincent is so desperate, because he knows that 'eternal life' is actually a curse." Chu Zihang said, "For those guys who serve as raw materials for nourishment, 'eternal life' means eternal torture."

At this point, the people in the room already had a general understanding of this Nibelungen. This is a world filled with the breath of death, everything is dead and desolate, time does not pass, there is no sun, moon, stars, no wind, rain, thunder and lightning, only cold water and a few lonely islands. Some islands only have strange rocks with the coordinates of several other Nibelungen recorded on them, and some islands have strange creatures and towering trees, like huge Gu pots... and the island in the middle, the strange white figure who calls himself "God", his real identity is probably a dragon king.

"'God'... World Tree... Nibelungen of Death..." Lu Mingfei murmured these words in a low voice, and a certain name flashed through his mind.

"Vincent said that the only exit of this world is hidden beside 'God'. This is all he knows. After saying this, his eyes were dazed and confused. His body had aged to the extreme, like a withered skeleton, and a strong smell of death lingered around him." Chu Tianjiao said, "All the crew members gathered around. They looked at the dying Vincent with complicated eyes. They were definitely not very loyal to this captain. It was probably the nature of working for others for money. Maybe some people disliked Vincent at first and thought he was treacherous and a charlatan, but people are emotional creatures. After living together for so many years, watching the death of an old friend will always give rise to a kind of sadness of the rabbit dying and the fox being abandoned."

"I told Sasha what Vincent told me. I'm not too interested in Vincent's wealth and money. My goal from the beginning has been the secrets of the dragon race." Chu Tianjiao said, "There must be more secrets about Nibelungen that I don't know than those that I do, but I also understand that our operation should end here. The intelligence I have obtained is enough for me to spend a long time digesting. The most important thing now is how to get out of Nibelungen."

"Just now Vincent said that the only exit of this world is hidden next to 'God'?" Chu Zihang said, "Does this mean that the exit of Nibelungen is actually hidden on the island where the white figure in the center is?"

"What's the difference between that and seeking death?" Lu Mingfei said with a frown.

"I actually find it quite ironic. The only way to survive is hidden in a dead end. If the white figure is really a Dragon King, it would be easy for Him to kill us." Chu Tianjiao said, "So I didn't tell Sasha and the others this. I was afraid that if they knew it, they would lose all motivation to escape. I was still thinking about how to leave this island when Vincent, who was about to die, suddenly showed signs of abnormality again."

"Vincent's eyes widened, and a few vague words came out of his completely dry throat. He said, 'Run!' and 'He is coming to find you!' Then, just before he died, a gray-white strip fell from the sky and wrapped around Vincent's entire body." Chu Tianjiao said, "It was a gray-white bandage, very long, like a shroud, which wrapped Vincent into a 'cocoon' shape. He was hung up in front of us, and the other end of the bandage extended into the leaves of the giant tree. Under our gaze, Vincent turned into one of those 'cocoons' and became a part of this island."

"At the same time, the huge tree in the center of the island began to sway wildly, and the plants on the entire island were swaying. The giant snakes we saw before appeared in the distance. They crawled on the ground, and their huge bodies couldn't stop shaking, as if they were frightened by something." Chu Tianjiao described the scene at that time, "All the 'cocoons' were also shaking violently. Almost half of them fell from the tree. Some were human-shaped, some were snake-shaped, and some were even more bizarre. The parts of them that showed bandages showed the characteristics of dragons, just like those giant snakes. They crawled on the ground, trembling and whimpering in fear."

"We all had a premonition that something was really coming." Chu Tianjiao said, "I suddenly felt a huge fear that not only enveloped me, but also enveloped the entire island, and even the entire world. The blood in my body was rushing wildly. That was the dragon blood. Something made the dragon blood in my body boil."

"I realized the danger, so I shouted to Sasha and the others to run!" Chu Tianjiao said, "Everyone reacted and we started running. Behind us, the huge tree, the crawling 'cocoons', and the giant snakes stopped trembling at some point, as if they had received a pardon, and they chased after us."

"'Time Zero', I used 'Time Zero' again. This time, I didn't target any of the crew members. My target was the pursuers behind me, but 'Time Zero' had little effect on them." Chu Tianjiao said, "I could feel that my physical strength had reached its limit. Sasha had also lost too much blood. The other crew members also roared in exhaustion, but none of us stopped. We forced ourselves to take a step forward again and again, running madly."
