People are in a weird world, you call this a game of cultivation

Chapter 555 City of Pain, Threshold of Happiness

"Because I'm not happy!" Li Ran said coldly.

He didn't even look at Wang Xiaoxian's body on the ground.

In his opinion, Wang Xiaoxian's presence here was unreasonable.

Summon people from Blue Star to the instance?
Is this method more powerful than God?
Of course, it is not ruled out that Bliss Company has the ability to transfer real people into the copy.

After all, there are no props to boast about planes.

But when an unreasonable person appeared here, Li Ran instinctively regarded this unreasonable person as a weird person in the dungeon.

Whether true or not.

The butler Li Cheng outside the door was slightly startled.

"Are you unhappy?"

"Yes." Li Ran said.

"The happiness in life is nothing more than money, power, and beauties. You can experience all of them here. You can even vent your true inner thoughts here. Isn't it happy to be your true self?" said housekeeper Li Cheng.

"I don't like to be restrained." Li Ran said.

"No one is restraining you, we are just providing services." The butler said.

"No, all your actions are restricting me. My identity, I need to choose, and the plot you promote from time to time. These are invisible shackles."

"Including your attempt to use my companions in the real world as a fuse to lure me into your small dark room is also a kind of shackle."

"There are so many invisible constraints, you actually say there are no constraints?"

"This..." Li Cheng, the housekeeper, was at a loss for words when asked by Li Ran.

"Sorry, we didn't know it caused you so much trouble." The butler Li Cheng and the beauties behind him bowed to express their apologies.

"Let me leave here and I will be very happy." Li Ran said.

The housekeeper Li Cheng calmed down and said: "Sir, you are not allowed to leave before you have truly enjoyed the ultimate bliss. This will make it very difficult for me. We will give you some time to calm down. Continued cooperation."

The butler snapped his fingers to make Qunfang Jiali to step down.

Then he also exited the door.

Li Ran glanced at Wang Xiaoxian's body, and the body had disappeared without a trace.

"Master, this city is really big, it feels so big that it has no boundaries."

The voice of the poisonous leek came from the contract connection in his mind.

"Is there any abnormal discovery?" Li Ran asked.

"Does it count that the whole city is empty?" Hua Piao asked.

"Goodbye."

Li Ran cut off contact directly.

“Do players in Paradise only have people who enjoy the services of Paradise?”

From the beginning of this empty city, and also from the beginning of receiving investment from Paradise, the situation of responding to requests appeared.

It seems that the whole city is tailor-made for players.

No sleep at all.

Moreover, Li Ran is not someone who just sits and waits to die.

He left the presidential suite and took the elevator to the hotel lobby.

The entire hotel lobby is magnificent, but there is no one there.

A line of words floated in front of his eyes, "Do you want to continue to open the butler service for the journey of bliss, yes/no"

Li Ran ignored this line of words.

"How is your situation, Teng Snake?"

The voice of a snake came from the contract connection.

"There is no boundary between the sky and the earth. The whole city seems to have been copied and pasted. It is all urban area." Tanshe said.

"Have you found Su Bingyao?"

"No... but I find this city full of hate!"

Li Ran raised his eyebrows and finally discovered the difference.

"How?" Li Ran asked.

The voice of Teng Snake continued, and he said: "I can feel the power of hatred, and the power of hatred can be transformed into my strange power. The ubiquitous hatred in this city makes me feel like there are countless people. It's like suffering in this city, but I just can't see them."

Although I always feel that there is something tricky in this empty city.

He tried all kinds of methods but couldn't find the trick.

But Tang She could feel the power of hatred throughout the city.

Is the so-called bliss based on the pain of most people?
There are actually countless lives living in this empty city, but he can't see it?

"You keep looking, it's a good thing to have a breakthrough." Li Ran said.

He planned to leave the hotel and wander around the city.

He still didn't call for the butler service of Elysium.

Walking out of Yunjing Hotel, Li Ran took out a card.

"The fairy guides the way."

This card is a reward for lifting the curse of Doran Yi's fish.

This prop has never been used until now.

The reason is that this card is suitable for a special environment.

The function of eating cards is that when the player is in a desperate situation, a predicament, a maze, a fantasy, a secret and other illusions, the player can get some kind of instructions or help by opening this card. It may be an idea or a clear way, and it will change according to the situation. .

And you can't rely too much on cards, because he only provides an idea like a breakthrough, but this breakthrough may not be an exit.

Li Ran rushed to give it a try.

"Turn on!"

After turning on the [Immortal Guidance] card, a moving arrow immediately appeared under Li Ran's feet.

The arrow is similar to the novice guide in the game. It always points in a certain direction and changes with the player's position.

Li Ran didn't know where the arrow was pointing.

From the looks of it, this city of bliss is all the same, full of high-rise buildings.

Li Ran summoned the Ghost Horse, and galloped over the city following the arrow.

The butler service information of Bliss Company seemed to be projected into his pupils, and he couldn't get rid of it.

He never started the service of the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss.

Although he had asked the housekeeper before if the money they invested needed to be repaid.

The housekeeper also said not to return it, the purpose is to let the customer get the ultimate happiness.

Li Ran believes that even in the weird world, all of this is outrageous and nonsense, but they must not be asking for nothing in return.

If it really allows players to experience unprecedented happiness, why can Teng Snake feel the hatred of the whole city.

The people from Bliss Company also said at the beginning that the purpose is to keep players in this blissful state.

But Li Ran felt that they should have other purposes.

If I accepted their arrangement from the very beginning, would I be manipulated by them and become their puppet if I indulged in excess?

Li Ran didn't know.

So he needs to find a breakthrough here as soon as possible.

Force seems to have no effect here, and the entrance cannot be found by directly destroying the entire Gold Coast like in the upper level of evil mirror hell.

Li Ran reckoned that when he released a zodiac meteorite above the empty city with his peak power, the speed of destruction would not be as fast as copying and pasting them.

Killing the housekeeper and those women didn't do anything either.

They can really do tens of thousands of copies.

He flew for a long time following the arrow of [Immortal Guidance].

Suddenly, Li Ran noticed that the arrow was pointing backwards.

That is to say, he exceeded the position.

"Scumbag, get down."

The ghost horse brought Li Ran to the bottom of the city.

The appearance of Elysium looks like a bustling metropolis with a sense of technology.

Even at night, the lights are as bright as the stars in the sky.

The streets are spacious and bright, spotless, without any dirt and rubbish.

Even the alleys between tall buildings are brightly lit, clean and tidy.

Everything is so perfect.

Falling into the alley, Li Ran took the slag horse into the contract space.

Follow the arrow pointing forward on the ground and walk deeper into the alley.

The alley in front of him is definitely the cleanest and brightest alley that Li Ran has ever seen in his life. It gives him the feeling that he is in a rendering, and with the street lights in the alley, it has a bit of an industrial feel.

After walking in the alley for a while, Li Ran didn't find anything unusual.

Rats in the common gutters, dirty trash cans, paper scraps, garbage, sets and the like everywhere, none of them were seen.

It's as clean as walking down the small corridors of a manor.

"Zi~ZiZi~~"

Suddenly, at the end of the alley in front of the fairy guiding arrow, there was a street lamp that seemed to be short-circuited and flickered with unstable voltage, accompanied by the sound of current.

"It's here." Li Ran said happily.

The City of Elysium is so perfect that it does not allow any flaws in the city.

It is so detailed that even the texture of the ground does not allow for instability and asymmetry.

However, in such a perfect city that strives for perfection, is there such an obvious light that is broken?
Is this normal?

Anyway, Li Ran felt it was abnormal.

Moreover, the immortal guidance also provided a breakthrough in the dilemma.

Regardless of whether this is an exit, the anomaly here must be extraordinary.

When Li Ran came under the abnormal street light, the arrow pointing the way disappeared.

This means guiding Li Ran to his destination.

Standing under the streetlight with unstable voltage, Li Ran looked around.

"what is this?"

In the shadow under the street lamp, Li Ran finally found a trace of abnormal phenomenon.

Because of the unstable voltage of the street lights, the lights flickered on and off.

The shadow of the lamppost is also flickering.

It was during this flickering process that Li Ran discovered a tiny crack.

It's like someone scratching the paper with a sharp knife.

The cracks are as fine as a hair, and if it weren't for the extreme vision of Li Ran's ghostly eyes, it would be difficult to find the existence of such tiny cracks.

"Space Rift?"

Li Ran stretched out his hand slowly, and put his hand into the tiny space crack.

The moment his hand reached into the space rift, a huge force sucked him into it.

Then, Li Ran felt that the sky was spinning, and the stars were moving.

The world before his eyes suddenly changed.

The same alley.

But the alley in front of me borders differently.

A creature, whether it was a dead cat or a dead dog, fell in the corner, and water dripped from the eaves onto the ground that was already covered with moss and oil film.

In the distance, rubbish is everywhere, and the alley is dark and damp.

The air was filled with a thick stench.

"This……"

Li Ran felt as if he had gone from heaven to hell all of a sudden.

It didn't reflect for a while.

He left the coordinates of a teleportation stone in place.

[Monster leader teleportation finger] was repaired by the poisonous leek and flushed.

Now he can not only teleport at the teleportation mark point, but also summon Wan Yao to fight.

In order not to find a place at that time, it is necessary to leave a teleportation point in place.

"It seems that this is the true face of the City of Elysium."

Walking out of the dark alley, Li Ran immediately smelled a pungent smell of urine.

Urine stains can be seen everywhere on the corner of the wall and on the street.

It was so pungent that he almost had to wear a multi-purpose mask to breathe.

Li Ran flew directly into the air, overlooking the ugly city.

He didn't see tall buildings like steel jungles, nor did he see spacious and bustling streets.

Instead, it is a patchwork of large slum buildings.

Street lights seem to be a luxury here. There are almost no lights, and the whole world is dark and humid, full of filth.

Unlike the City of Elysium, this city is full of ghosts and ghosts under the night.

"Hahaha, let's play a game and see who can escape from this block?"

Li Ran noticed that in an old street, a strange man wearing a cowboy hat and sweater with sharp knives on his hands was walking on the street.

People in the street fled screaming, terrified of the strange man.

"Nightmare, reality, fiction and reality, can you distinguish clearly?"

The strange man laughed, and suddenly disappeared in place.

In the next second, a running figure floated in the air strangely, and his body was torn apart in the air.

Seeing this scene, Li Ran remembered a movie called "A Nightmare on Elm Street".

The townspeople can never escape a psychotic dream killer.

Li Ran continued to fly further away.

In a square, a blade windmill was found.

The windmills are like lawn mowers harvesting wildly in the square full of crowds.

The incisiveness and incisiveness of human beings are reflected here.

There is a towering wall on the edge of the square. Those who escaped from the windmill climbed on the wall desperately, but in the end they could not escape the fate of being harvested by the blade windmill.

In the sky, the gate at the bottom of an airship opened wide.

Countless lives fell from the sky like black rain, and finally landed on the Blade Windmill Square.

"Isn't this Blade Hell?" Li Ran said with a shocked face.

The life here is worse than death, the pain is too much, and the fate of being harvested is encountered all the time.

Li Ran also saw in a dark river, the scales on the body of a big fish were all human faces.

But the next second, the big fish was picked up from the river by a two-headed giant. The two-headed giant swallowed the strange fish full of human faces into its belly...

"Is this the scene under the City of Paradise?"

He felt as if he was in a real hell, where countless lives were tortured and tormented.

And he finally understood the hatred Teng Snake spoke of.

Under the city of bliss is a hell of suffering!

Are these people the ones who stay in bliss?
After staying, instead of sinking into bliss, but endless torment?
Thinking of this, Li Ran was glad that he could keep his mind and was glad that he could see the truth under the City of Elysium.

If he was still full of fantasies about the investment of Bliss Company before, then now he is as sober as a basin of ice water pouring down from the top of his head.

Li Ran continued to fly letters over the city of pain.

He once suspected that the City of Paradise was built on the City of Pain, existing like a reflection in water.

The glamorous city on the ground is ugly when reflected in the water.

"Will the exit of the Sea of ​​Dawn be here?" Li Ran thought.

At this moment, a voice interrupted Li Ran's thoughts.

"Commander, are you there, Commander?"

Suddenly, Sloan's voice came from the plane communication card that had not been moved for a long time.

"Sloan?" Li Ran was overjoyed, and immediately took out the plane communication card.

Which means Sloan isn't dead yet.

"Sloan, where are you?" Li Ran asked.

"I've reached bliss," Sloan said.

"Is there anyone else with you besides you?" Li Ran asked.

"I didn't see it. I thought I was the only one who survived. It's great, the commander is also alive." Sloan's voice choked up.

"Listen to me, don't accept the services of Bliss Company, go find someone else." Li Ran said.

"There is a line in front of me, which belongs to Bliss Life Investment Company, is it this?"

"Yes, no matter what difficulties and obstacles you encounter, don't accept their help, just remember." Li Ran said.

"Okay, okay, I remember."

"Commander, where can I find you?"

"Go to Yunjing Hotel."

The time of the plane communication card is only 1 minute. After Li Ran finished speaking the address, the communication was cut off.

He quickly left the hell of suffering and used the monster leader's teleportation finger to teleport back to the teleportation point.

Then return to the City of Elysium through the space rift.

The process of crossing is like entering the mirror space.

During the process, it seemed that the gravity was reversed, a very strange feeling.

Back on the clean streets, a man appears in the alley.

It's the butler Li Cheng.

"It's rare that someone can see the ugly side of the City of Ultimate Bliss."

Butler Li Cheng walked towards Li Ran, with a sincere and polite smile still on his face.

It doesn't mind at all that Li Ran discovered the true face of the City of Elysium.

"Since happiness and pain are contradictory, they also complement each other. Some people are happy, and some people are bound to suffer. Some happiness is even based on the pain of others." Butler Li Cheng said.

Li Ran's eyes became clear and cold.

"You threw those who passed the trial into the City of Pain. Is this your final purpose?" Li Ran asked.

"Your idea is too one-sided. The fate of those who enter the City of Pain is doomed. If you look carefully, you will find that the people in the City of Pain are actually people who died in the triple hell."

"Death in hell is not the end, but only the beginning of the journey of hell. They will suffer from the torture of the eighteenfold hell, death and rebirth, rebirth and death, over and over again, bruised and bruised, suffering from soul and body The double torment, and I can never be reborn."

The housekeeper Li Cheng came to Li Ran, stared at the angry Li Ran and said, "Although we don't require customers to repay the investment, if the investment fails, the customer will be sent to the city of pain."

Li Ran frowned slightly and said, "For someone like me, it's considered a failure in investment."

"No, your potential is far higher than anyone else's, so your upper limit threshold is obviously higher than our estimate." The butler said.

"I resist your investment, I don't cooperate with your script, I'm tired of your so-called low-level happiness, so deviant, do you still want to continue investing?" Li Ran said.

"Mr. Li, you are right, we underestimated your bliss threshold, so our company re-evaluated your happiness threshold, and the top management unanimously decided to increase investment in you so that you can achieve the bliss you want." Butler Li Chengyi The face said sincerely.

"What is the happiness I want?" Li Ran asked.

Li Cheng took out his tablet computer, swiped across the tablet, and dozens of screens appeared.

He randomly clicked on a screen and said to Li Ran, "I think you can find the answer from your friends."

"my friend?"

Li Ran's first reaction was that in addition to Shi Long and Su Bingyao, there were other world masters who survived.

The person in the video is Su Bingyao.

Su Bingyao was sitting in the small courtyard of a single-family villa, with a pot of rose tea brewed on the table.

In the small courtyard, a husky and a corgi were playing and chasing each other.

Su Bingyao took scissors and cut the potted plants in the small courtyard.

"Her happiness is actually very simple, very comfortable, and easy to satisfy," the housekeeper said.

Could it be that Su Bingyao is already immersed in bliss?

Butler Li Cheng moved his hand on the tablet.

On the screen is the Cyan Hidden Dragon.

Green Hidden Dragon and a girl were sitting on a bench in the park. He held the girl's hand, and the girl leaned on his shoulder. The two of them clung to each other and sometimes heard the girl's melodious laughter.

Girls are very similar to Randy Faye, but only in spirit.

"Your friend's happiness is also very simple. She resurrected her dead girlfriend."

Li Ran understands why Qingzhelong has been taking care of Lan Daifei along the way.

Lan Daifei looks like his dead girlfriend.

The butler swiped the screen, and the next screen appeared in Li Ran's eyes.

It is the extravagant life of a demon clan lord.

He lives in a castle like a palace, and when he wakes up, there are six beauties beside his pillow. When he wakes up, brushes his teeth, eats and clothes, he is served by beauties, and he even has a pool party early in the morning. He is so happy and carefree.

"His happiness is actually very pure, which is also the happiness of most men, just addicted to beauty."

The butler said as he continued to slide the screen.

The one in the picture is Hua Shuying, but after seeing what Hua Shuying was doing, Li Ran opened his mouth slightly with surprise on his face.

"Is this Hua Shuying's happiness?" (End of this chapter)
