A hero drinks red without leaving a bottle

Chapter 96 The fog separating the truth is like stockings, which must be torn apart

After placing Elantra in a certain room inside the base, and instructing the other party to take a short rest, Huang Lang found a quiet place in the base, closed the door, and put himself in quiet thinking. Backtracking upstream.

Galad, as the star dew royal family, is partnering with an enemy of life like the demon. The human emperor is very likely to have the blood of the stars. The real purpose of the demon is that the nouns belonging to the hometown game Diablo and Ace Combat appeared in a different world. What is the audience satisfaction of the program group, etc. These questions circled and accelerated in Huang Lang's mind, and finally made him thump the wall annoyed.

Some things seem to be figured out, but they are separated by a layer of fog, as if there is something important to remember, but they can't remember it.

"Calm down, Huang Lang, calm down..."

Huang Lang muttered something to himself, sat back on the chair, leaned against the back of the chair, and looked up at the ceiling with his neck up.

There are incandescent lamps from the old house hanging on the ceiling, and next to the incandescent lamps are ventilation holes covered with lattice baffles.

Looking at those grids, he seemed to hear a voice in his ear saying: [Count those grids, one by one, sometimes it can help you temporarily forget some things...]

He suddenly lowered his head and looked to the side, but he couldn't see anyone, but Huang Lang felt that he saw his uncle sitting next to him in a trance.

Looking around and looking up at the ceiling, Huang Lang recalled something that he didn't really want to recall - shortly after his sister left, he was sitting in the room by himself, and his uncle was sitting next to him Tried to comfort him.

His parents tried all the methods they could try, but Huang Lang just stayed behind closed doors. In desperation, he found his best relative, his uncle.

At that time, their uncle and nephew seemed to be sitting and talking in such a room with incandescent lights...
[Try to temporarily focus on something else]

This is the method his uncle taught him at that time, simple and simple, but sometimes very effective.

Huang Lang recalled this incident, so he tried to focus on other things, trying to recall some irrelevant things.

"Speaking of which, I entered a battle as soon as I arrived in another world..."

Huang Lang muttered, trying to recall the first scene when he came to another world, the first battle, that was the battle where he was forced to be thrown into the battle between the demon Tarasque and the elf Shameng:

【At that time, Shameng, the elf, must have been running away with the Stone of Lies. I thought, even if I didn’t show up, the Stone of Lies would use Shameng’s desire to escape...】

Just as he was thinking of this, Huang Lang froze suddenly. A thought flashed through his mind like lightning piercing the dark clouds. A long-neglected matter, a long-forgotten clue, appeared in his mind Among them:

[If the stone of lies can capture people's desires, or desires, then why has this stone of lies been in contact with me so many times, but there is no reaction at all? 】

Huang Lang didn't feel at all that his strong desire for something was weaker than that elf. Why didn't the Stone of Lies respond to his wish?
Is it really because you need to hold that thing in your hand if you want to activate the Stone of Lies?

Huang Lang recalled it carefully. Indeed, the next few times the Stone of Lies was activated, it seemed that the person who activated it seemed to need to touch the Stone of Lies itself. However, after recalling it carefully, he also discovered a detail that he had always ignored, that is ….
The first time the stone of lies was activated in front of his eyes was when he was hugged by the elf Shameng. At that time, Huang Lang remembered very clearly that the stone of lies was actually tightly wrapped.

If the Stone of Lies needs direct contact to be activated, then it should not be activated when it is in Shameng's place.

However, the Stone of Lies was activated and sent away with Shameng, and not long after, it fulfilled Shameng's not one wish, but a series of wishes, and finally devoured the elf.

If some kind of evil existence really designed such a thing as the Stone of Lies, what is the purpose of its existence?
If there is really an evil existence that designed something like the Stone of Lies, would it be really strange, or even stupid to design a function that must be touched to be triggered?
A suspicious place was uncovered, followed by a series. When Huang Lang looked back on his adventure, he quickly remembered something that made him feel strange, that is, why the game released by his system loaded abnormally. state, able to top off demonic possession.

For a long time, the explanation given by Huang Lang himself is that the state released by the system of high-dimensional aliens has a certain priority.

But thinking about it now, Huang Lang thought of another possibility - could the power of the demon and the power released by his system be of the same origin?
"The person in charge," Huang Lang called out the person in charge of the program group, staring at him like a falcon and asked, "Tell me, is there anyone else in this world that you brought to participate in the program?"

"We assure you, Mr. Huang, you are the only participant in this program right now?"

"Now?" Huang Lang keenly caught a key word.

"Of course, in the future, we have no plan to introduce another participant into the world." The person in charge firmly assured.

"In the future... now...," Huang Lang muttered, and suddenly said, "but you didn't mention the past, tell me that you only keep me as a participant in this world now, and you also said that you will never... I'm afraid you have sent participants in this world in the past, and this participant is the current demon?"

For the first time, the person in charge of the program group fell into a long silence. After a long time, he broke the terrible silence and said in a calm and unusual tone:
"Mr. Huang, you are very smart. You realized it a little earlier than we estimated. How did you guess that there were participants in this world in the past?"

Huang Lang didn't show any victorious expression, but let out a miserable smile and shook his head:

"Because I want to earn more points. Since I want to make money, I mean earn points, I naturally have to think about what the consumers who give me points want... Then I thought of it, the most comfortable one for the audience. The thing, isn't it [God's Perspective] and [Omnipotence]?"

"Of course, we are not your... God."

"Of course not, but I have thought that maybe your audience wants the same thing as the audience I have entertained."

"what is that?"

"You don't need to take my role to feel invincible. For me, you are already at the level of [Supreme] and [Invincible]. Then, you can make your audience happy and give me bonus points. Isn’t it obvious what it is—that is me, to you, who is equivalent to a character in a game, a character in a book... stupid.”

"We are not happy because you are stupid. In fact, the smarter you are, the happier we are."

"Really? Shouldn't there be a condition - [The smarter I am within your limits, the happier you will be]? From the point of view of being able to manipulate time at will, you have a vision of the future and the perspective of God." Yeah, your audience knows things I don't, it's like... as if...."

"It seems like something, Mr. Huang, say it."

"No need to say more," Huang Lang shook his head, "I've said it clearly enough, if necessary, I will find you again."

After all, Huang Lang withdrew from the communication with the program group and sat down on the chair.

Up to now, it is basically confirmed that there was once a participant of the program in the world, and that this participant has a great relationship with the current demon.

The power of demons can be offset by the power radiated from their own system, which should be what I guessed—because the two are basically of the same origin, people in this world can't find any way to fight against the erosion of demons, they can only rely on their own The spirit is more perfect, and you can only rely on controlling your own desires to fight against evil spirits, and you can only build a special place for isolation to fight against evil spirits...
All for one reason.

If he thought so, then it was very likely that the clues of the Horadrim Brotherhood and Razgriz, the game that reminded him of his hometown, meant that the previous participant came from the same place as him.

Why did this group of aliens continuously select participants from their hometown to take risks in this world?

Why were there so few clues left by the last participant, the Horadrim Brotherhood and the Razgriz Demon? Is it because I haven't discovered it yet?
If it's not that I didn't discover it...but because I lack relevant knowledge, so I didn't feel it when I saw it? !

Certain symptoms in a person may represent completely different things in the eyes of a person with no medical knowledge than in the eyes of a trained doctor.

[What clues did I ignore before, why did the aliens send two people from the same planet into this world to participate in the program? 】

These two points flashed alternately in Huang Lang's mind, and the frequency became faster and faster.

Finally, a new idea popped up: maybe the answer to the previous question is the second question.

The biggest clue that I overlooked is why I came here to compete, is it really just a random event?
"A reality show... a reality show... what is one of the biggest highlights of a reality show..." Huang Lang said to himself almost insanely.

is a conflict....
Most often, conflicts between what and what?
[Competitor——Could it be that he and the former contestant are still fighting for some goal that he doesn't know? 】

Huang Lang thought so, he thought, could the previous contestants be competing with him for something, could it be that they were competing for the dominance of the world?After all, his three ultimate missions all imply that he must dominate the world.

If this is the case, then as another participant in the competition, he should eliminate himself as soon as possible. If you think so, is it true that the demons are targeting him with all kinds of actions?That's not right, no matter how he thinks about it, Huang Lang feels that he has not been targeted much, at least not the kind of targeting between competitors.

Thinking of this, another terrifying possibility suddenly popped up in Huang Lang's mind--in addition to making people compete with each other, what kind of people will the reality show put together?
【Family, friends, colleagues..... Watching those who are close, friendly, or privately hostile, attack each other on a stage...competition...circle...】

"what!!!"

Huang Lang suddenly uttered a terrifying cry, and fell off the chair. His heart was beating violently, and large beads of sweat slid down his forehead. A panic like falling into an abyss seized his soul in an instant. .

Because, after the assumption that the previous participant had some kind of relationship with him came out, a doubt that I couldn't figure out before suddenly combined with this assumption and merged into a terrible, monster-like idea.

The doubt was——【Why until now, he only found two clues of Diablo and Ace Combat】.

Huang Lang, sweating like rain, like falling into an ice cellar.

Because, although they all love to play games, the types of games they love to play are completely different.

He likes to slash, take risks, and command thousands of troops...
She likes cute vertical paintings, cartoon alchemy workshops, and romantic and warm love journeys...
However, there are two games that are exceptions.

Because she has been watching him do the same thing over and over again in Diablo, so she tried Diablo 2 out of curiosity. The story generated intense interest and was moved to tears by the sacrifice of the Horadrim, especially Tal-Rasha.

Because when I watched him play Ace Combat 5, I was moved to tears by a part of the plot, so I came over to play it curiously, and learned about the story, so I was returned by the hero of Razgriz, Chopper's sacrifice also caused tears to flow.

And the so-called ancient language ballad that the monster sang in the bandit's cottage, I finally remembered that it was the only song in the final fantasy generation that she had ever played...
Perhaps, the clues have already been everywhere, but I didn't see it...

Perhaps, the reason why Stone of Lies cannot fulfill his wish is because that wish cannot be fulfilled, or, to some extent, has already been fulfilled...
She, the deepest wish of his soul... He thought that if he could only take one ability away from this world, he would definitely do his best to ensure that he could bring a resurrection ability back...
Go back, take her out of that cold freezer, and bring her back into this warm world.

Let her return to herself and her parents.

Resurrect my sister.....

At that moment, Huang Lang burst into tears, he raised his hands to hug his head, curled up into a ball, pressed his head with his hands, trying to stop the runaway thoughts.

However, just like when his sister's death came back then, the reality came from a far away place beyond his comprehension, passing through the gap between his fingertips, mocking his innocence fiercely.

At that time, I could only look at the empty bed of my sister in the lower bunk, pretending to be a strong fighter.

What now?
Sobbing, sobbing, Huang Lang scratched his head and covered his ears.

If harsh reality seeps through the gaps between the fingers covering ears and eyes...

Huang Lang's hands were gradually lowered, and then filled with the faded will of innocence, they clenched into fists.

　Well, you read that right
