I can't be an NPC

Chapter 350 You Are Special

The battle between psionics is silent and dangerous.

At this stage of the Mastermind, psionic ability to distort reality no longer requires magic as a medium.

Both sides are masters of using psionic energy, and the space between them groans in pain, twilight like a dream bubble.

The three aboleths realized in an instant that the visitor was not to be trifled with, and turned their heads to run away, but found a round and crude wooden boat blocking behind them at some point.

The only magic crystal cannon on the submarine protruded from one of the holes in the submarine, and the muzzle condensed a faint purple gleam.

As for the rest of the players, they have all left the cabin and feel good.

This is all outrageously carefully selected players who are good at underwater combat, and they can still move freely under this kind of underwater with the magic effects all over their body.

The aboleths who tried to use their psychic energy to open the way found that those nasty guys blocking the way had a special equipment on them, which blocked their psychic attack to a certain extent.

Seeing that they were invincible and unable to escape, the three aboleths wanted to blow themselves up on the spot.

As long as they are not caught in the Water Elemental Plane of the Four Elemental Planes and their spirits are completely annihilated when they are reborn, they will never die.

Their memories exist forever, even if the physical world's body is destroyed, it is just a new reincarnation journey.

The only possible danger is that when they reshape their bodies on the water elemental plane, they may be attacked by some brutal water elemental spirits and fall into a dangerous situation.

But firstly, the water elemental plane has a large area and few spirits, and secondly, the water elemental spirits are generally not as violent as the fire elemental spirits, and they are less likely to actively attack other individuals.

That's the only trouble they can have.

Of course, if it is a loss, it means that they will lose the lair that has been in operation for many years when they return from the water elemental plane again.

They don't know which part of the water they will appear in when they return to the material plane.

However, the psychic coercion from the main brain descended in an instant, dispelling all the thoughts of the three aboleths.

While fighting, its dissipated psionic energy was quietly weaving a trap, like a spider's magic web. Without a sound, the three aboleths had nowhere to escape.

The main brain is usually cowardly and cowardly, but it is not ambiguous when it really fights.

The dark Bobby patted the gray cortical surface of the main brain with a smile, "I want to ask them something alone."

……

The two ships docked at the furthest point of the lair, as if that would show some kindness.

Li Wen came to the three aboleths who were immobilized by the mastermind's psychic energy, and said in a calm tone.

"I know you can understand the common language on the surface, answer me a few questions, and I will let you go free."

Three aboleths with flat bodies like devil fish stared at the human in front of them with their small eyes, and there was a bit of human contempt in their eyes.

Are they immortal, a threat?

They have never been the only ones who threaten others, and when has it ever been their turn to threaten them?

The biggest humiliation they have encountered so far is that some powerful professionals rushed into the lair and destroyed their bodies.

As for captivity?

They can watch for a while but not for a lifetime, their spirits are free and unconstrained, as long as they are given a chance, they can run away immediately.

Seeing the non-violent non-cooperation of the three aboleths, Li Wen was not annoyed, and just pointed to the conch shell ship behind him.

"Illithids, you should know them? They have always been interested in your memories. I don't know if you are eaten by them, can you keep your memories and return to the water elemental plane to be resurrected? Are you going to try it? ?”

……

Aboleth: Not eaten.

Illithids: No.

Then a strange voice that sounded like a doll rang in Li Wen's mind.

"What do you want to know?"

Li Wen suddenly smiled, "It's good that it's early, I'm just asking two questions that have nothing to do with you, don't be nervous. The first one..."

"Do you know the recent elemental fluctuations? Your roots are in the water elemental plane, so you should be able to detect something."

"Of course! We know everything."

"So, has a similar situation happened in history?"

"Have……"

"When?"

"When the world first opened..."

"?"

Are you going to tell me to start with Pangu opening up the world?

Li Wen stared at the other party, his eyes full of suspicion.

Do you also know about the beginning of heaven and earth?
It seemed that no one knew what was going on in Li Wen's mind, that shrill baby voice sounded eeriely in Li Wen's mind.

"You also know that our roots are in the elemental plane of water. The four major elemental planes have always existed, and the appearance of the material plane was just an accident. After thousands of years of our inheritance, the material plane appeared in In this multiverse, the later Outer Plane, Astral Plane, Ether Plane, and even the current Inner Plane and the two mapped planes of the Material Plane—Fairy Wilderness and Shadowfall Underworld, are all A latecomer. The root of this universe is only the four elemental planes."

"..."

Li Wen pondered for a while, "What is its development process like?"

Under the mental monitoring of the main brain, these aboleths cannot tell lies, but if what they say is true, then the information may not have much reference value for Li Wen.

When the world first opened, let alone human beings, even the long-lived species such as dragons, giants, dwarves, and elves probably didn't appear.

What he wants to know is how the former creatures dealt with similar things, rather than simply listening to a story that happened in the past.

Listening to Li Wen's question, the baby voice of the aboleth seemed a little impatient.

"I've said it before, when the heavens and the earth first opened...before the heavens and the earth first opened!"

"What do you mean?"

"Fool!"

Next to it, another slightly different sound suddenly inserted in.

"He means that elemental fluctuations similar to today's happened first, and then there is the current world, understand?"

"Um……"

Li Wen pinched his chin, feeling for the first time that his comprehension was not enough.

"You mean... the reason for this elemental fluctuation is for the creation of the world?"

"Stupid!"

"Now that there is a world, how can we create it?"

"It's a reboot, you idiot!"

This time, the three baby voices with their own characteristics sounded almost one after the other.

"Return to the origin first, and then collide freely."

"At an unknown moment, the material plane will reappear."

"Back to the beginning! Back to the time when the gods were gone!"

"The intro and outro are the same!"

"The elemental kings are initiating their rituals."

"The world will be born again."

Speaking of this kind of content, the thinking of the three aboleths seemed a little crazy.

Seems to be looking forward to this day.

Li Wen was taken aback for a moment, recalling the meeting of the gods in his mind on the first day the players arrived.

The voice of the self-proclaimed Goddess of Creation seemed to have said that players were invited to help complete this era change.

Could it be that the change of era she mentioned refers to the elemental riots of today?

how could be?

Why is it necessary to restart the change?

I haven't played enough...

Li Wen shook his head, feeling that the news was too shocking, subconsciously unwilling to believe it.

And if this ending is so doomed, does it matter if players come over... Does it matter?

Is what the aboleth who can't tell lies must be the truth?
Li Wen shook his head and calmed down.

"I have another question. Do you know about the moon? Does this fluctuation of elements have anything to do with the moon?"

"The moon in the sky? It's just a big rock. Apart from affecting the tide, it can't affect the elements."

"No... it's the twelve moons surrounding the continent of Gaia!"

"I haven't seen it! I haven't seen it!"

"How come you haven't seen it? The moon! The moon of corruption! The moon of madness! Or resource module 2, resource module 5?"

How could an omniscient existence like the aboleth not have seen these things that the human world knew?

"I've heard of it! I haven't seen it! That's not something from our world! It's fake! It's all fake!"

The words in these aboleths' mouths became more and more outrageous, and Li Wen was already thinking whether they had gone crazy because they had absorbed too much memory.

Besides, in terms of their mental state when they were talking, it was hard for Li Wen to believe that they were all normal.

"What? Don't believe it?"

Aboleths are masters of the mind. Even though their psychic power is suppressed by the master brain, they seem to be quite sensitive to some obvious thoughts of Li Wen in front of them.

"There are so many things that don't belong to our world, and those things you brought don't belong to our world!"

Li Wen looked back.

It's normal for players not to belong to this world. In the magical world, when magical players come, Li Wen has long stopped thinking about the underlying reasons behind their appearance.

but……

The "those things" in the aboleth's mouth should also include those illithids, right?

"Are you saying that illithids aren't...native to our world?"

"Of course not! Of course not!"

"It's just some refugees who smuggled in! They are the remnants of the last universe!"

"Any race has a process of evolution, only they suddenly appear on the astral plane with their palaces and battleships! They can't hide it from others but can't hide it from us!"

Ah this...

Li Wen glanced at the brain shell on the conch shell ship, but there was no movement.

But without thinking about it, it knew that it was paying 100% attention to this side, and it probably heard every word of the conversation between itself and the aboleth.

"Okay... I'm fine."

These aboleth words contain a lot of information, and they sound crazy. You may need to rely on your own thinking to identify which words are useful and which ones.

Waving his hand at the brain, Li Wen shouted in the spiritual network.

"knock off!"

all done.

[Epic quest - The quest to explore the aboleth lair has been completed, and the rewards are being settled...]

Some skill book blind boxes combined with the brand-new mind spells and the book of the mage's psionic system were distributed directly, and Li Wen didn't care about those players anymore.

Li Wen has always been quite clear about the positioning of the players as tools.

On the contrary, Li Wen now has a lot of interest in the origin of the illithid.

Sitting on the shell ship on the return journey, the dark Bobby sat on the deck of the shell ship and leaned against the gray cortex of the main brain.

A little tremor was transmitted to him through the contact between the bodies.

Dark Bobby put one hand on his knee, and without looking back, he tapped the head of the mastermind with the other hand.

"Hey! You should have heard what we said just now, right?"

The mastermind's response seemed duller than ever.

"heard it."

"So it's not that you can't find them, but you don't want to take me to find them, right?"

The mastermind's voice was low and steady, with a heavy meaning that Li Wen had never seen in it before.

"Yes."

"Why don't you pretend to kill them by mistake...or let them go?"

"Always need to know..."

"Then it seems that Aboleth is right. Has this universe really restarted?"

"do not know……"

"Ok?"

"I don't remember... why do you think we were successfully resisted by the Ghis people? It's not because of their outstanding talents, nor is it because they are resistant to our 'psychic control', it's simply because of... …We are irrepressibly weakening. Our bodies are degenerating, our spirits are weakening, and even the battleships and palaces we once had, we have gradually forgotten how to control and pilot them. Our strength and memory are Recession, that's why we're dying so fast. So ... I don't really remember anything about it before."

"No impression at all?"

"Not at all."

"Do you know why?"

"Maybe it was rejected by this universe? After all, we are not the race it conceived. But the truth, I don't know."

"I heard you have a god?"

The rumors about the illithids that he had heard from the Dragon Queen jumped into Li Wen's mind.

"The gods did not create us, but we chose the gods. After we choose to believe in the gods that appeared in our country, our strength will not decline."

That can all be explained.

"So also, the last question, why did you choose me?"

Judging from the main brain's response now, the other party is actually not afraid of him.

In the previous stalking, it was not so much that Li Wen took the initiative to steal the other party's heart, it was better to say that the other party deliberately exposed his weaknesses.

The mind field of the main brain is so powerful that it can even cover a whole battlefield with hundreds of thousands of people. How could it be impossible to read the voice of myself who was still a weak chicken before.

This point, ever since relying on the mastermind's spiritual domain to resolve the war between Dreiser State and the Golden Lion Kingdom, Li Wen has been puzzled.

"You are special."

The mastermind's voice was surprisingly calm.

"Although I don't know why, my spirit can tell me...you are special."
