As a player, can you be normal?

Chapter 455 Omega Core, a passing cloud (1W3)

Li Nuo pinched the Voice Genie in front of everyone.

The first sentence caught Li Nuo off guard.

"Don't let me go back."

Li Nuo's brows tightened: "Ah?"

In the next minute, the elf shouted out what Cha Bai was about to say.

……

About twenty minutes ago.

After Cha Baigan killed Hu Yulu, the surrounding steel walls collapsed.

The drizzle from the sky fell on my face again. The buildings collapsed beyond recognition. The buildings were gone. The avenue was very wide, and the road under my feet was muddy and sticky.

The heel rolled over and walked forward.

Cha Bai frowned and looked at the panel.

Li Nuo is still Maljie.

Which one of these two should I help?

She moved her left arm, and the two-thirds broken left arm told her something.

"Stop making trouble everywhere."

Cha Bai summoned a translucent chair made of magic elements and found a place to sit under a half-collapsed ceiling.

Run your fingers over the panel.

I suffered a loss in the fight with Toguro.

It was a pity to use a big move.

After being with Li Nuo for so long, she almost forgot something important.

Li Nuo has [Smiling Denise's Decoction], and he can tell at a glance whether he can defeat his opponent and how to fight with the help of "Denise's" perception. So most of the time, he has made the most reasonable allocation of resources before the fight. He will not use resources if he can, and will use them to the most appropriate extent if he has to.

Cha Bai hasn't fought alone for a long time and has become slack.

Without an arm, I can only find other ways to improve it and ensure my own safety.

She took out the Magikarp Flavored Rice Ball from the magic element grid, opened her teeth, and bit into it.

[Magikarp Flavor Rice Ball: Add a layer of fish scale-shaped shield to itself, resisting three times of impact damage, weak thunder]

This is not enough.

Cha Bai opened the panel and entered the characteristic values.

[Are you sure you want to invest 2 points of "Characteristic Value" into "Spiritual Power"?]

She murmured "hmm" softly.

[Spiritual Power 420]

[Attribute breakthrough: When any attribute is greater than or equal to 420 points, the attribute value bonus enters a smooth period and obtains talent ability]

[Spiritual power breaks through 420 points]

[Select one of the six attributes based on your past performance and talent allocation]

[Strength: Increases the power of the first attack when the weapon is drawn]

[Reaction: Slow down the dodge time]

[Spiritual power: space magic]

【Constitution: City Wall】

[Insight: Know the weakness at a glance]

【Medical: Magical Pharmacist】

Cha Bai glanced up and down.

She jumped back and forth between "spiritual power" and "physical fitness", and the choice was difficult to trigger.

Then he looked at a strange evil creature flying in the air.

It was a large, bright Tengu flying in the sky. Cha Bai took out a pistol from the [Ether Stone]. She didn't use it, but just kept it in reserve, as sometimes it was quicker to kill someone with a gun.

Cha Bai remembered that the first bullet was the [Spring Festival Greetings Fireworks] invented by Maljie, so he raised the gun and fired a shot into the sky.

If Daitengu is disturbed by the sound of gunfire, choose "Spiritual Power".

The bullets exploded into "fireworks" in mid-air.

At the same time, a streak of fire slid across the sky. The Great Tengu was deviated from its flight path by a flame bomb fired by a distant enemy, and the tea-white fireworks were in vain.

"body……"

She paused.

Or choose to follow your heart.

“Spiritual power.”

After choosing what he wanted most, Cha Bai breathed a sigh of relief, feeling so refreshed.

From a realistic perspective, choosing "Physical Fitness" would be better for you, but if you consider Li Nuo and Maljie, "Spiritual Power" which can enhance space magic is more appropriate.

It probably wouldn't have given her any better means of saving her life.

But maybe she can give her teammates better help.

[Witch Time Increase]

【Witch Clone】

[Effect: After the witch dodges, a clone is triggered. When the clone is attacked, it will cause shock damage that has no effect on you.]

【Brief description: Grandma is critically ill, Xiao Ming can't believe his ears... Grandma used to be a witch, it's impossible for her to die so easily, "Isn't that right, grandma!" Xiao Ming asked crying, "Grandma, look at me, you raised me... You're gone, grandpa's gone too, I have no relatives!" Grandma touched Xiao Ming's head. She was still so gentle and said, "Silly child, grandma will always be with you." "Grandma, can you be cured?" "No, child, give me a punch now."

Xiao Ming punched his grandmother in confusion. His grandmother dodged and triggered the "Witch Time", leaving behind her clone. As she had used up her last bit of magic power, she used her last bit of strength to say, "My clone will accompany you..."

At the funeral, Xiao Ming cried and hugged his grandmother's clone: ​​"Grandma! Your clone only has a head! Ahhhh!"

Maybe it's because I'm too sad.

With a little force, grandma's head clone exploded.

Xiao Ming was knocked unconscious by the shock wave.

then……

From that day on, grandma lived in Xiao Ming's soul.

"Look, grandson, I told you I will always be with you."

"But grandma... why did you come out when I checked into a hotel with a female classmate for the first time..."

"Need I say more... I, your grandmother, have been through this before."

Don't laugh when you see this brief description.

Who knows, this future might be you.

Ha ha ha ha!】

The water droplets dripped on Cha Bai's long eyelashes.

She forgot where she was and just stared blankly at the information on the panel.

Then he burst out laughing.

"Thank you."

The other side of the panel.

The king from "Basel" took his fingers off the keyboard and drank a sip of juice contentedly.

"Hahahahaha!"

Angel slaps him on the back of the head.

"Karl! What have you done!?"

"'Endless Corridor' is about to win, give my pen pal a little reward." The king rubbed the back of his head, glanced at the woman behind him with a complaining look, stood up and asked the staff to sit back.

"It's not over yet..." Angel said.

"I know." The king nodded: "But the 'protagonist face' already means the end."

"I don't care why." Angel bit his lip and said, "Karl, you are not allowed to use the ability of [Critical Person] again. That ability does not belong to you."

The king smiled faintly, with blood on the corner of his mouth.

"Good~"

But at least it can make my players feel relieved for a while, the king tilted his head in satisfaction.

The shadow of the girl was imprinted on his pupils.

There was still drizzling rain in the sky.

The ceiling above Cha Bai's head suddenly collapsed.

His hair was covered with fine dust. Looking around, the antique buildings looked as if they had been ravaged by an artist's hand overnight. They were in ruins, with lights and electronic screens scattered under the broken bricks and stones.

She opened her umbrella, sat on Mosu's chair, and stared blankly.

It's too dangerous here. I don't dare to cause trouble even though I'm missing a hand.

A wild cat jumped down from the broken hole in the ceiling and stepped lightly on the tea-white and black umbrella. She raised her head, fixed the umbrella on the magic chair, stood up to catch the cat, and after observing that it was a female, she held it in her arms with peace of mind.

"So it was you who damaged the ceiling."

Her eyelids drooped.

The cat lost its home and cried softly.

"It's really an unexpected disaster, isn't it..."

Cha Bai raised his head, hugged the cat, and looked at the water seeping out of the window under the ceiling opposite.

She was suddenly startled and thought of something important.

"I forgot to close the window at home!"

When.

There was no one there at the moment, and the bluestone-paved road was empty, but there was a stench and the sound of bronze colliding.

In the sticky rain in the distance, there was a grey figure, staggering towards Cha Bai. No one was seen, but the copper rings on the tin staff in his hand could be heard jingling, which sounded particularly ethereal in the dimness.

when……

The cat jumped out of her arms and transformed into a spirit cat that crawled into the hole in the back wall.

Cha Bai's eyes focused and gradually became sharper.

He is a monk.

He wore a wide straw hat, his dark brown skin had cracks like the dry land, his eyes were red, he walked with a slight limp, and his tattered monk robe smelled like a garbage dump.

The monk was leaning on a long staff, and the copper rings made a jingling sound. The two men were getting closer and closer. Cha Bai slowly folded up the umbrella and unfolded it into a hammer.

The visitor is not good.

If you look like that, you will die a bad death.

The monk chanted in a low voice.

"Amitabha, could you please give me some food? If not, I will cry bitterly."

When Cha Bai walked over and was about to hit him with a hammer, the temperature around him suddenly rose.

The building on one side collapsed!

Cha Bai noticed it keenly and quickly flashed away with [Witch Time], and the clone left behind was destroyed by the second round of explosions.

A large amount of water vapor turned into boiling steam and enveloped the monk. Amidst the screams, a figure walked out from inside.

Nova from the "End of Corridor".

She grabbed the monk's head and melted it in her palm.

Tea white throat rolling.

Nova's appearance was very strange. She was only wearing a set of lace black underwear on her upper body, and there were three "monk" heads pinned to her waistband.

The exposed waist and abdomen were missing half, and inside was not flesh and blood, but glowing "explosion symbols".

In other words, Nova is an empty shell inside.

"This monk is a 'game character' from our world. You 'Endless' people may not know this."

Nova greeted Chabai with a smile.

"You're pretty quick at hiding, do you want to join us?"

“I don’t think I have a choice.”

Cha Bai looked back and saw the cat girl sitting on a rock in the shadows, holding a katana.

Her name is Xiao He, and Li Nuo almost gouged her eyes out when she got on the car.

"You were nice to that cat just now, so you are my friend."

Xiao He looked seriously at Nova who was farther away.

"Big sister, do you hear me? If you dare to touch her, I will beat Amuro."

After saying that, Xiao He sank into the shadows and disappeared.

Dealing with the people in the "End Corridor" was much easier than Cha Bai had imagined, even easier than dealing with the uncles and aunts in the small shop downstairs. Just imagine that they were a group of Li Nuo and Maljie.

"Xiao He is an assassination player with nine lives." Nova nodded: "Really nine lives... Never mind, come with me to fight monsters, I need manpower."

"I don't think I have a choice." Cha Bai changed the hammer back into an umbrella: "If I don't help you, I don't think I can escape."

She walked straight over and held the umbrella for Nova to shield him from the rain.

"Actually, you don't need to hold an umbrella for me."

"You are a bomber. If you get wet, the fuse will get wet."

"I can transform into different bombs depending on the environment."

Cha Bai ignored her and said, "This umbrella has the function of whitening your skin."

Nova: "From now on, you and I are friends."

Clang.

The sound of bronze colliding echoed through the air.

"Looks like I don't need to take you there."

Nova licked his lips.

"By the way, how good are you at fighting robots?"

"It's time to talk about it. It's my old job." Chabai thought about his past as a member of the YoR-Ya Corps.

A cold wind blew in the sky, high walls rose up all around, buildings collapsed, steel bars spun like windmills and cut into the rising storm, rubble and adobes kneaded together, and they merged into a huge, mechanized monk's head.

A man in a black hooded cloak stood above the monk.

He is the BOSS of an unknown game, a game so small that he has never even shown his face, but his ability has nothing to do with the size of the game.

He couldn't speak, but he knew magic. He clenched his hands together, rubbed the magic factor, and slapped it into the top of the monk's head.

Chabai narrowed his eyes, "Shaping magic."

The mechanical monk's head became an egg-laying machine, chanting words that made it impossible for people to get in, and magic and steel were mixed together to build strange buildings.

The buildings opened their doors one by one.

The noisy voices and footsteps surged out like a tide!
It was as if this was not the dilapidated spiritual world left after the battle, but a bustling human city with busy business.

Out of the door walked a beautiful woman with a graceful walk, followed by a few headless children playing and fighting, a trembling hunched back, a fat and stupid middle-aged man, an old woman with a pale face, a clay statue of Buddha with a wheel, a sturdy iron rod yaksha, and all kinds of strange things, but no people.

Catwoman Xiaohe created a shadow cover, and Chabai and Nova hid inside it.

"What is this?" Cha Bai asked.

"The monk I killed was created by him." Nova licked his lips and said with a smile, "He is a small BOSS in a building game, commonly known as the 'evil black magician'. We have just killed three of his forms, and this should be the last one."

Xiao He popped her head out from the shadows: "Big sister, I found it. The weakness of this guy's fourth form is in that mechanical head."

Nova pointed at his broken abdomen and said expectantly, "I must go into the mechanical monk's mouth and blow it up. This time, I will blow up the flesh on my back too. Ah~ It feels so good just thinking about it..."

The woman began to get nervous.

"I just need to hold them back, right?" Cha Bai said with a cold face.

“Hmmmm~” Nova crossed his arms and squatted on the ground: “The two of us will lick it from below. Ah~ No, we will attract the monsters it summons from below… We will split into two groups… But, but let me make this clear first…”

Nova's eyes suddenly became sharp.

"Don't steal my head."

At this moment, a strong wind blew over, blowing away the shield created by the shadow, and the wind pressure blinded the eyes.

"Where's your captain?"

"Amuro is solving the problem with the 'Nest'."

"Okay, I'm going."

The moment Cha Bai rushed out, he heard Nova whisper, "He's gone...ah..."

nerve.

She finally understood that "The End" was not like what Amuro said, that players were abnormal at this stage... The abnormality of "The End Corridor" was simply insanity.

The white tea leaves are stacked vertically along the wall.

Xiao He controlled the shadow, and a black shadow sprang out from under Cha Bai's feet, forming steps and plank roads for her to run more conveniently in the air.

Nova rushed out of the wall, took off a head from his waist, turned it into a [Decoy Skull] in his hand and threw it to the corner of the wall. Then he bit out a water-like airflow from his mouth, and the self-detonating bomb that released poisonous mist "boomed" and completely submerged the block below!
Three women and one drama.

This play ruined an entire street.

Cha Bai walked briskly, passing through the rain and fog like lightning, and the electronic light of the Tai Chi diagram on the nearby gate building flickered on her face.

The heels of his shoes stomped heavily on the copper head of the mechanical monk, and he raised the hot hammer towards the evil black magician who had opened his "shield"!

"Moxi Moxi~"

"what?"

Time suddenly stopped.

"It's call time now, time is on hold."

The voice was Aita.

The sound came from the rubber band left by Etta on the brown ponytail.

"Yeah, that's it... Pippen and I found the location of the core. You have the bomb, right?"

"Oh, never mind~ It's very safe here, so I'm going to let you come over first."

Cha Bai was confused.

Etta continued to speak.

"But, hehe... I have to trade places with you. Don't worry about me. Eta is very powerful!"

Swish!
Chabai turned into a mouse.

The mouse turned into a ball of white smoke that followed him.

The mouse in the white smoke turned into Aita.

Because the mechanical monk's bald head was particularly slippery due to the rain, Etta lost his balance and slapped the monk's bald head with a bang!
“It hurts… it hurts, it hurts, it hurts!”

Etta sat up with her hands covering her face.

The black magician was startled. Why did he transform?
Xiao He, who was watching from the shadows, was also startled: "Why did it transform?"

Nova, who was naked from the explosion, was startled, then smiled: "Hehe! Finally, I am not that long-legged guy anymore!"

Etta covered her nose in grievance.

"I hate it... Why are you in a place like this... Pippen... I told you to put on armor before you come back."

The black magician summoned his staff, and dark shadows squeezed out of the monk's copper head and turned into "summoned monsters". They held sharp shadow blades and surrounded Aita.

"Help!"

……

The white tea fell gently to the ground from the white smoke.

The rubber band tied up the hair turned into a magical factor that dissipated in the air, and the white hair fell to the shoulders.

The surroundings were dark gray, with fine pipes spreading on the steel walls.

Tom Cat is sitting opposite.

The cat's skull opened and Pippen, in the form of a mouse, crawled out.

"This is the inner core pipeline of Omega. Is the bomb with you?"

"Ah."

Cha Bai pursed her lips.

"Well... Etta and I switched at the wrong time."

Pippen was stunned.

"You mean, the place you were just now was dangerous?"

"Ah."

"It's okay~"

Pippen pulled a piece of cheese out of the cat's skull, took a bite, and said as he chewed:

“Hey, Ekatahai is very greasy and dangerous.”

……

"Help, Pippen!"

The sharp blades of the dark shadows cut into Aita's face. At this moment, it seemed as if time had stopped.

Nova found Xiao He's location and signaled her to leave with his eyes. The latter did not hesitate and immediately disappeared. The two players noticed that Eta was acting strangely.

As Nova retreated, his eyes were somewhat depressed: "Are all the players this year monsters?"

The evil dark magician drove the shadows he created, but the shadows surrounding Aita could not move even a bit, as if they were fixed in place.

"I'm such an idiot... Scottie Pippen isn't here."

Etta's eyes suddenly became sharp.

She strolled out through layers of dark shadows, her long golden hair turned into the blue of the sky, and the frying pan in her hand transformed into a shining and simple long sword.

A pair of wings rose behind him, and the angel's halo shone in the sky.

The broken city gate suddenly turned into a giant mechanical beast, which pounced on her with its twisted posture and outstretched mechanical limbs.

Etta grabbed another frying pan and turned it into a blue shield with fine lines, pointing it at the hill-like mechanical body. The shield released a magic cannon comparable to the [Ether Ray], which reduced the attacking mechanical body to ashes.

[Ys, Gemini Goddess Body: Half-body Goddess, Breaking the Limit (Actual Strength lv94)]

[The transformation can only last for one minute, and the rest time is more than five times that. If Etta doesn't change back to her old self within one minute, she will no longer exist.]

The power that originates from the [Realm of Reason] improves the ability to break through limitations.

The blue light swept through the air, gently caressing all malice. This scene frightened the dark magician standing not far away and his hidden body.

Players who can participate in "World War" are all monsters.

She looked to the side with a cold face, swung her sword and tore the dark magician's body apart.

Aita's cold eyes pierced downwards, seeing through the inside of the monk where his true form resided.

"Cut off the evil and pierce the darkness."

Aita raised his sword high.

The sword body glowed with a layer of holy light.

The light flooded the block, and all traces of destruction returned to their original state in the light.

In the blink of an eye, the mechanical monk's head disappeared, and the ancient yet modern buildings were displayed under the rain, as if nothing had happened.

Etta returned to her original form, sitting on the wet ground with a bewildered look on her face.

“Ah… I used my ultimate move again? Pippen… Pippen! Ahhh… It’s so scary here!”

Tens of meters away.

Nova walked into a dark alley.

A skinny old monk was hiding in a dark corner and shivering. He was the real body of the black magician.

Sparks flew from Nova's mouth.

"You can't escape once you're targeted by a group of us, you fool."

Inside her shattered body, the glowing runes transformed into a bomb pattern.

[Bomber: The explosion mode is determined by the environment. The breath he exhales is filled with gunpowder smoke. He can even control the scale of the explosion he sees. He is a human being who no longer has a body. His skin is just a disguise for the bomb. Whether he is a human or not depends on how you look at it.]

boom!
……

Pippen's teeth chattered.

"Aita, very strong..."

"If you're worried, you can take a look at her panel. You two are 'special friends', right?" Cha Bai said.

"No! No, never look!" Pippen shouted, "Etta and I made an agreement! We believe in each other unconditionally. She said she is very strong... She must be very strong..."

It is really strong.

"No... let's get down to business!" Pippen patted his mouse's face and suddenly became serious: "This is it, this is the interior of Omega. Etta was afraid that you might be in danger over there, so he swapped you here in advance. I hope it didn't cause any inconvenience to you."

"It's okay... Thank you."

"Have you collected the bomb's soul?"

Cha Bai took out the [Subspace Compression Bomb], which showed a value of 20/20, and the soul fuel had been collected.

"I'm just asking... Can this bomb really blow the train back to the real world?"

"Something made by Etta." Pippen laughed proudly.

"She is a goddess. She can naturally do things like purification."

Cha Bai found it interesting.

"how about you?"

"An adventurer who once killed the demon king and rescued the goddess."

Cha Bai seemed to see a red-haired shadow in the man.

She blinked hard to confirm that it was an illusion.

Pippen: "Let's not talk about anything else. Let's hurry up."

He returned to Tom's body and controlled Tom to speak: "It's very dangerous ahead. You can't get through as a human. You can only get through by turning into an animal. If you don't believe me, just go over there and try."

Cha Bai raised his head and looked forward.

In the dark passage, the goggles showed dense red dots, all of which were hostile mechanical weapons.

This is inside Omega's body, symbolizing that this is also a maze-like mechanical dungeon.

The patrolling mechanical guards and aircraft only prioritize attacking human-type creatures, but they will also attack other creatures when they encounter them, regardless of whether they are friend or foe.

"Unless you turn into an animal and we get into the pipe."

Pippen was determined and serious.

"Wait... Pippen... How do you know where the Omega core is?"

"I do not know."

Chabai: "Huh?"

Pippen said in a particularly calm voice: "Aita and I met a priest."

Cha Bai was stunned: "Could it be a good priest?"

"That's right. Etta can sense 'malice'. She said that the priest is fine, so there is a high probability that she will be fine." Pippen found a pipe: "The priest is a woman. She said that there are cordons ahead and we have to go through the pipe. She will leave 'scratch' marks in the pipe, so we just need to follow her."

"What else?"

"Anything else? I don't know. The priest ran too fast and we didn't have time to ask."

"What's her name?"

"Phoenix."

This was Cha Bai’s first time working with other Corridor players, and she fully felt the breadth of the world. If it were “ordinary people” in the “Endless Corridor”, they would at least doubt or overthink it.

Even if it was Li Nuo, he would definitely find a way to capture the priest first.

But the idiot couple believed it almost for free.

What can I do now? I can only believe it.

"Turn into an animal, huh?"

Cha Bai thought so and conjured up a magic mirror to reflect himself.

She said to herself: "I was cursed by the witch and turned into a pig to be slaughtered by anyone..."

With a bang, Chabai turned into a pig in pink clothes.

She never imagined that the first time she used the spell to turn into a pig, it would be used on herself.

However, in order to communicate, she did not use all the spells on herself, so she could still speak and change back at any time.

bang~
Pippen controlled Tom to tear off the cover of the pipe and then crawled in. Since Tom's body was bigger than the pipe, he became a cylinder after squeezing in.

Chabai, who had turned into a pig, followed and crawled into the pipe facing Tom's butt.

"Don't worry ma'am, I'm a gentleman, and I only love Etta, so I won't let you go ahead."

"Ah, thank you..."

"By the way, I have something to ask you."

Pippen controlled Tom Cat to move like liquid in the narrow passage, squeezed his head out of his asshole and looked directly at Cha Bai.

"Are you 2B or A2?"

"..."

"After the script is finished, can you give me an autograph?"

"what?"

The tea-white pig's mouth opened, feeling confused.

Pippen crawled out of Tom's tongue with his rat head, his eyes wild.

"Please, you are the most famous game character in our world!"

"Ah..." Cha Bai was helpless: "Okay, fine... I have to ask my teammates first."

"Okay!"

Pippen went back into Tom's body as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and ran wildly in the pipe like a rocket.

Following the bat scratches left in the pipe, I came out of an exit in less than ten minutes.

In the dark corridor.

The beauty turned sideways and looked over, and the pig and the cat were reflected in her dark green pupils.

"You two are here."

Pippen introduced: "This is the priest I was talking about, Miss Phoenix."

Phoenix looked at Chabai (the pig) and bowed slightly: "Thank you, my friend, for turning the train into this state."

She came up and thanked him right away, leaving Cha Bai completely confused.

At this moment, the voice of the system suddenly came to my ears.

[Entered the final area: Between the sky and the devil]

"here it is……"

She still remembered the main quest and was certain that this was the area where the final item, the "Wine of Eternal Life", was hidden.

Phoenix turned his head and said, "There is no more alert ahead, but it is better to be careful."

As she spoke she turned into a bat, flew in the air and said, "Please follow me."

"Wait. What are you going to do?" Cha Bai asked.

Phoenix gave an answer that was very different from the other priests' style.

"Save everyone, of course."

……

The journey to the core area was not far. On the way, Phoenix coldly narrated the truth of the incident.

"Two hundred years ago, the leader Pesca summoned a higher-dimensional demon to gain eternal life. Later, he created the 'Church of the Undead'. At first, it was just for experiments, so that his immortal soul could match his still aging body. However, after nearly a hundred years of experiments, he only managed to make a half-baked 'Wine of Immortality'."

As they talked, the three of them bypassed several guards.

"Later, Master Pesca summoned a higher-dimensional demon again. This time, a creature called Dracula appeared, calling himself the 'Vampire King'. It gave Pesca the technology to create a bat vampire. Pesca made a promise with it that in order to revive Dracula, he would build a castle for it and give it to it in another world. This is here."

"Why are we the sacrifices?" Cha Bai asked.

Pippen said first: "Either Dracula said it, or someone like us (player) said it."

Phoenix: "That's right, but since Master Pesca won't tell us the details, we won't know the truth. We can only know that you guys have the 'thread of fate'."

Chabai and Pippen said in unison: "The thread of fate?"

Phoenix: "All those chosen as sacrifices have wandered in different worlds. Their 'memories' form a 'line of destiny', which can be extracted using the improved 'Devil Summoning Alchemy' and the power granted by 'Dracula' and used as one's own power or as sacrifices."

What Phoenix said is actually the ability used by the priests now.

First use the power of summoning to summon the "memory world" of the sacrifice, and then absorb and extract the power of the summoned creature.

The disadvantage is that "the summoner cannot leave the refining array too far while extracting power, otherwise it will be regarded as an invalid extraction."

It’s easier to understand if you put it another way.

——Extract the game archive and copy it to your own computer. Do not unplug the computer during the copying process.

"Once, Master Pesca locked himself in his room to study the 'Thread of Fate'. He stayed there for a month. During that time, apart from eating, we had no idea what he was doing."

Phoenix's voice gradually became softer.

"Until the leader came out, he suddenly told everyone to give up the deal with the 'Vampire King' and the immortality that 'Dracula' promised to give him. He said that the 'thread of fate' of the sacrifice was a multiple-choice question with too much space, and making a wrong choice would lead to the destruction of the world."

"He's pretty reasonable," Pippen said.

"The leader is extremely evil, but he is not a madman. What is the meaning of his immortality now that the world is gone?" Phoenix said, "But it is also because of that contact with the vampire that many things have developed in an unpredictable direction. The priests who have followed the leader the longest are not just researchers, but fighters. This is the biggest mistake of the leader Pesca. The leader is not interested in power. He said that if one's own power is too strong, he will become the enemy of the world, which is not worth it. But the priests are interested in power. Most of their lives have led to tragedy because of the lack of power. Power... is what they care about most."

By this time they had passed the final line of defense, and Phoenix had transformed back into a stunning beauty, landing gently on the ground.

"All eight priests, including Gus, are the actual rulers of the Church of the Undead. They intend to gain real power here, but the price is sacrifice. Whether it's the people on the train, you, or the things they summoned, they are all the targets they want to sacrifice."

Cha Bai wanted to say, "They are not that strong," but stopped himself.

Phoenix could see her confusion, even though she was a pink pig now, she could still see it in her twinkling eyes.

"This is the foresight of Master Pesca. The priests were too confident in their own power and misjudged the power of other worlds. The Master is an alchemist and he has his own views on the exchange of interests."

When Cha Bai heard this, he thought of the past that Li Nuo had been muttering about.

He is a half-baked alchemist.

I have complained more than once that the principle of "equivalent exchange" is just a bunch of Maljie.

The so-called "alchemy" means changing the form of existing substances, decomposing and recombining them.

It takes energy to change the form of matter, such as heating. Similarly, alchemy also takes energy. You provide the matter, so who provides the energy consumed in the process?
Answer: yourself.

This is true for everything. There is no equivalence, only relative equality. It was because of this that Pesca decided to give up the deal with Dracula.

But those priests who only know how to use cults to do business are different. They only care about the "greatest benefits".

Phoenix said, "The power of summoning is amplified here. The priests use summoning to summon the entire world. The composition of the world is related to their essence. Battles, evil spirits, duels, fairy tales, legends, technology, wars, and fantasy beasts are all the inner demons of the priests and are closely related to their previous experiences. Therefore, I am more convinced that what Master Pesca said is right. Summoning itself is a manifestation of inner demons. It is definitely not a good thing. Just like the scenery outside this train, it is hell."

"Wait." Pippen: "What about you?"

Phoenix stopped and said, "I am the daughter of Pesca."

"Huh?" Pippen was stunned: "Yeah, it's not outrageous... That old guy lived for two hundred years, it's normal for his descendants to be everywhere..."

"No, the leader lost his ability to have sex a hundred years ago. I have only been born for sixty years." Phoenix said, "I am a vampire created by the leader using the flesh and blood of hundreds of experimental subjects. I am a disgusting thing."

At this point, they had arrived in front of a big door.

Phoenix: "My identity is a singer, in other words, someone who monitors the priests. I can communicate with the leader (father) at any time, but not here. This is hell. Since I have lost contact with the leader for a short time, I can do what I want."

She looked at the steel gate, pointed at it and said:
"Inside that is the core of the mechanical organism that occupies the main body of the train. I'm a bat, so it's easy for me to find it. I originally wanted to stop the sacrifice, but I always feel... something is wrong. If I go back like this, Gus and his men will have gained power. They've tasted the sweetness, and there will definitely be a second and third sacrifice. One day, they might even sacrifice the entire country."

"You mean, you want to stop the priest?" Pippen asked.

"Well, let them die here. It doesn't matter if I die with them." Phoenix said seriously: "In the worst case, at least we can weaken them and make them suffer so that they won't dare to do these things again."

"Why?" Pippen asked, "You don't have to do this at all. You are not Pesca's..."

"The world is beautiful, there's no need to destroy it," said Phoenix.

Chabai recites a spell and turns back into a human.

"So what should we do?"

"Thanks to you all, many priests have died. It's just that Gus is out of control. He may want to create a new world. I can't feel the situation over there, but Mr. Pippen and I have communicated before. Leaving here is very important for you and the more than 900 passengers. I can't be willful anymore. Please destroy the robot carrying the train, destroy this train, and return to the real world."

"What are you still hiding?"

"It's not a secret. As long as the car stops, the priests can cancel the summoning circle. They can regain their freedom and travel between the 'eternal world' and the 'real world'. In other words, except for us priests, everyone will stay in hell. That's not good, and it's not right. At least it's not correct."

Phoenix saw the confusion of the two people opposite him, pointed to his head and said:
"I'm not a normal person, and my way of thinking is not normal. They all say that I'm dull and my mind is inflexible. Ever since I was a child, I've watched the leader conduct human experiments, and I feel that those innocent people should not suffer injustice from heaven."

Having said this, she bowed.

"That's all I know. No matter what you two mean, I want to ask you not to let innocent people suffer any more. Please end this incident. After it's over, I don't mind even if you have to kill me."

The woman's dark green eyes seemed as calm as water, but they burst with a yearning for the essence of life.

"There's a big robot in there. I'm not a combat type, so I can't defeat it. Mr. Pippen said there's a bomb that can directly blow up the train into the real world, skipping many steps. In that case, all the passengers who are still alive will be saved. So, please allow me to shamelessly ask you two to stop the 'Undead Church' and save the innocent people we've implicated."

[The hidden final area is ahead]

[In theory, players need to unlock all areas and defeat eight priests before they can liberate the area. If they skip the previous steps, one of the final rewards, "Wine of Eternal Life", may change into something else.]

The system is reminding Cha Bai and Pippen.

White tea doesn't matter.

Pippen didn't care at all. The team mission of him and Etta's team was actually to search for treasure in the train. If they found the "Wine of Eternal Life", they would get extra points.

When Phoenix saw the two people nod, he turned around, turned into a thin black smoke, and drilled into the crack of the door. He unlocked the door from the other side and opened the door.

Inside the door, there was a dark corridor.

The corridors are full of mechanized "Eyes of Cthulhu", which were created by the Amuro team in the "End Corridor" using the "Heart of Sumer". Omega fell into madness and lost control.

At the end of the corridor is a foggy door.

This reminds people of the fog door in "Dark Soul", which means there is a BOSS behind the door, most likely Omega himself.

On the other side of the corridor, another thing caught the attention of the two players.

Inside the pipe with dense walls, something was squeezed in like mud. It had a huge mouth spanning its entire abdomen, but a baby-like head.

Tom the cat controlled by Pippen kept biting his nails to express his fear: "This seems to be..."

Cha Bai continued, "The 'Unknown Monster Baby' from 'Lobotomy Corporation'."

The moment I saw it, a hidden mission information popped up.

【The truth behind the cursed sound】

[On the train, players and cult members alike will hear whispers of curses]

[If the player is hurt, the sound of the curse will invade the brain. When the curse reaches a certain value, the player will become a madman without reason.]

[The moment the train entered "hell", the "unknown monster baby" from "hell" was sucked into the carriage]

[Due to the appearance of Omega, the "unknown monster baby" entered his body]

[The "unknown strange baby" will make a terrible cry, which can convey the curse whispers outside the car and affect the mental state of everyone in the car]

[Please don't attack it, otherwise the curse outside the car will enter everyone's ears at once]

……

【Unnamed Monster Baby】

[It seems to always be unsatisfied, but it is still unknown what it needs. It is only known that it has a very strong appetite, and if it is not fed regularly, its stress level will rise sharply. After it exceeds a certain value, the abnormality will burst into tears and cause serious mental harm to all employees around it.]

[Now, it has reached a reconciliation with Omega and the train itself. Its mental state is connected to every living thing in the car. Whenever anyone is hurt, it will turn its crying into whispers to attack the brain of the injured person.]

……

[Again, please do not attack it. It is actually the train's machine for absorbing the curse of hell. Once it is gone, the train will be finished, and you will be finished too.]

……

After a string of data flowed by, Cha Bai felt as if he had seen something extraordinary.

However, the "unknown strange baby" was ignored by Phoenix, who had outstanding observation skills. It can be imagined that except for the players who have connection with "Border Prison and Hell", no one else can see this thing.

Cha Bai whispered in his mind: "It seems that all the mysteries have been solved, but there is no hidden world view."

"Hey, it's better for us to ignore this thing." Pippen said.

Cha Bai: "Well, I understand..."

An unfamiliar voice: "It really should be ignored. It's really dangerous."

Tea-white eyes were startled.

Turn around sharply.

The thin man stood between him and Pippen behind them, but they hadn't noticed anyone.

Tom Cat opened his body and turned himself into a curtain with his fur exploded, blocking Chabai and Phoenix.

The one who comes is [Glutton], Phil.

Phoenix also stopped and looked at the man.

"Don't panic~" Phil pointed to his eyes: "I'm a demon hunter, and my sense of smell is very developed."

Then he took out an empty potion bottle: "【Trailing Decoction】, you can hide your tracks, but you can't attack others in the process."

Pippen returned Tom to his original form, grinding his nails and saying, "So, man, you're really scary when you show up like this."

"You are Tom and Jerry, not human." Phil said in a teasing tone: "Don't worry, I have no interest in killing you~ Our missions in 'End of the World' are usually accompanied by death. In comparison, 'World War' is just a trip. I don't have the heart to attack you."

He looked at Phoenix.

"My target is you."

Phoenix shook his head.

"I never provoked you."

Phil took out a lock of her hair and said, "I followed the smell of this hair to find you. And you still say you never provoked me?"

Phoenix: What are you going to do?

Phil: "I was brought here by your hair. The first pronunciation of our names is both 'Phi'. So, maybe you can be my lover."

The scene suddenly became cold.

Chabai and Pippen stared at Phil in a daze, forgetting that there was an "unknown monster baby" stuck in the pipe.

"Did I hear that correctly?" Phoenix asked.

"No." Phil walked over and bowed to Phoenix: "I fell in love with you the first time I saw you, so I hope you will spend your whole life to atone for my sins."

"If you've been following along, you should know two things. As I said earlier, I'm over sixty years old, and I'm a puppet made of the rotten flesh of hundreds of corpses."

"Then I'm really lucky." Phil smiled and said, "You have more than sixty years of life experience, which is enough to make up for my naivety. You contain the lives of hundreds of people. When I choose you as my woman, I am finding hundreds of people to confide in."

Cha Bai remembered the instructions of Lord Triss:
——"Demon hunters are a group of pile drivers who appear cold and bloodthirsty on the outside, but are extremely horny on the inside. But once they identify their lover, they will remember that person for the rest of their lives, until death."

Pippen: "Man, we're players..."

Phil raised his hand: "I am waiting for my beloved's answer, please don't insert advertisements in the middle."

Phoenix said: "I have no concept of love. Even if I do, you have mistaken me. I am a puppet created by the leader of Pesca. My life and death depend on his thoughts. I can die at any time, and I cannot leave the church even a step."

"Then just kill all the people in the church, right?" Phil asked.

"..."

"Okay, I see."

Phil walked back and waved his hand.

"I'm going to kill that guy called 'Gus' and the others as well. After I get out, I'm going to kill Pesca."

Phil stopped, turned around, and looked at Phoenix with a smirk.

"When the time comes, if you are willing, I will take you away. I will take you to various worlds, to see the myriad worlds that Pesca will never be able to see in his lifetime."

[Glutton], devours everything without regard for consequences, including emotions that cannot be swallowed.

Phoenix looked at Phil who was walking away, her pupils shaking. It was the first time she heard someone wanted to take her away from this bad environment, and as a "sacrifice". This world was too unreasonable.

Chabai and Pippen were serious.

They have other things to do, and it doesn't matter whether Phil is good or bad, as long as he is not an enemy of their "lover".

"Okay, let's go."

Phoenix turned back and walked to the fog door.

It was as if nothing had happened just now.

She gently pushed open the fog door and said, "I can use ultrasound to sense if there are robots or monsters guarding inside. I'm not a combat type, but I can provide cover for you."

The moment the fog gate dissipated.

Omega warned.

【Rustle, rustle, rustle! 】

[An intruder has entered the core area, warning, leave immediately! ]

【Countdown begins! 】

【eleven!】

[Warning is invalid, send out the final guard, Omega Cyborg! ]

Boom!
An egg appeared in the center of the huge mechanical venue.

A hand emerged from the egg.

The mechanical arm opened the eggshell and walked out.

It is three meters tall and its entire body is made of mechanical skeleton.

[Omega Cyborg, the one who took over the summons for us, he is my guardian knight! Shashasha! Hahahahahahahahahaha! ]

The mechanical guard took off the steel mask on his face!
It pulled out a very long mechanical pistol from its crotch!

It has black hair made of steel!
It has a pair of eyes like Long Aotian!

Although it is a robot, it looks very handsome!

It puts its hands on its brow, pretending to be a wise man!
"Humph!"

Cha Bai's fear grew!
It’s over, it’s over... This mechanical guard is a combat robot made based on Malger’s data.

There are several exhaust holes popping out of this guy's lower body. I can guess what will happen next with my B.

But Pippen and Phoenix are still figuring out how to respond in a normal way.

This is not right!
That's a robot in the form of Malger!
Cha Bai used up all his lung capacity and shouted rapidly and continuously:

"Darker than dusk, redder than blood, time passes, but your power endures. In your name, I swear in the darkness that all the foolish things that stand in my way will perish with my power and yours!"

"Dragon Breaker!"

The magic light cannon was as dark as the long night, bombarding the Malger robot's face!

There was a loud bang!
The entire mechanical venue was shaking!

The Malger mechanical guard covered his face and yelled: "Humph! (It's over, I have no face to see anyone)"

Then I saw this guy pick up the gun and commit suicide.

Pippen and Phoenix looked at Cha Bai, who was panting, as if the scene just now was an extremely terrifying horror movie.

"Okay... let's keep going..."

Omega: [It's over, I'm defeated... What should I do... Is it all I can do to expose my core? ]

Boom!
The door in front was open, and inside was a blue mechanical heart.

This is the core of Omega.

Just blow it up and you can get out.

Pippen took the bomb from Cha Bai, and Tom Cat installed the bomb on the core and said:
"It will take some time to install. Once it's installed, you can just activate the detonator to blow it out."

Phoenix was stunned. Is it that simple?
She thought it would be so difficult.

If Maljie's robot had not appeared, Cha Bai would not have used [Dragon Breaking Slash] which consumes half of his magic power limit, and it would not have been so simple.

In other words, if they take the Mago-model robots seriously, this place will turn into a methane hell. If you don't understand Malger, you will face the most terrifying hidden BOSS.

During this period, Cha Bai took out the voice-transmitting elf and told him all the above things.

"Let's go and tell Li Nuo."

……

Li Nuo looked at the voice-transmitting elf rolling on the ground and spitting blood, and he couldn't help but look dead.

"Please have some pity on the Voice Spirit... I feel guilty for letting her say so much at once..."

Now, in theory, all we have to do is wait for Cha Bai and the others to blow up the Omega core, and it will be over.

But Li Nuo was worried that something as ridiculous as the Malge mechanical guard would happen again.

Plans can't keep up with changes.

So he still had to "go to sea" to weaken the priests.

Thinking of this, Li Nuo picked up the elf and stuffed it into the bag used for decocting medicine.

look up.

The forty-four passengers looked deathly pale.

The scene where he pinched the elf just now was so shocking.

Li Nuo was ashamed.

He originally wanted to use "kindness" to make these guys believe in religion and complete the team's mission.

but……

[The missionary mission has been completed, and points have been obtained]

Li Nuo was startled, and suddenly remembered that it should be the matter of entrusting Faust to make the cats and dogs in the world of painting believe in religion.

He let the passengers go and glanced at Yajirobei.

"Will you come with me?"

"No, I won't follow you even if there's meat."

Yajirobei had never seen anyone who could make an elf.

Li Nuo patted Doulong.

"Walk."

At this time, the lady who had wiped his face not long ago said, "Um...child, be careful."

Li Nuo paused.

Look back.

He thought of the girl who had given him the apple.

"Ah."
