The rising sun shatters the darkness!

Chapter 184 Xu Shu's move directly caused the cycle to mutate (asking for monthly votes)

[In the dusty abandoned hotel, you and Nieqiba stared at each other, you were on top and Nieqiba was on the bottom. She was at a loss for words after your question and had no idea what year it was.]

[After your explanation, Nekiba still couldn't understand. She lowered her head and began to mutter to herself. After a moment, her eyes suddenly widened, "Impossible! Who, who killed Lord Bahamut! Why did he die in the Lord's Kingdom?"]

[She looks extremely painful. It seems that she and Bahamut are in love, and their friendship goes beyond that of a normal man and woman. Having lost her beloved, she gritted her teeth and looked at you and said, "My Lord is dead. I can no longer live alone. I want you to enter the Kingdom of the Lord and accept His punishment! Go and repent, sinner!"]

[Then there are words like "la ye bo ye" and "u naga ga" which you can't understand at all.]

[The next moment, her body suddenly caught fire and was burned to ashes by the black flames. At the same time, you once again came to a different dimension. The originally dilapidated hotel suddenly became brand new. At the same time, you heard the alarm sound, "Emergency notice! Night is coming..."]

[“He’s coming in again!”]

[You were quite surprised. You had suffered a loss once before and knew that you would be excluded soon, so you did not leave the hotel this time. Instead, you came to the door hidden in the corner to find out whether the Tang family was here.]

[As you expected, as soon as you walked around the corner, you saw a figure breaking in through the window like a kite with a broken string. He climbed in by himself, and the huge hole in his abdomen was visible to the naked eye.]

[At the same time, you glanced out the door and vaguely saw a snake's tail flash by. You suspected that it was also a Nieqiba. It seemed that this unlucky guy from the Tang family was injured by the other one when he fled to this area.]

[Looking at the size and odd shape of the wound on his abdomen, you suspect that the Neqiba had pierced this man with its thick tail.]

[“No time to explain, brother. I’m here to save you. Tell me where the border of our territory is!” You rushed over and tried to ask for information.]

[Good fellow, you didn't even bring a bottle of medicine, and you kept shouting to save people, if you have the ability, you can act more fake! ]

[But there is nothing you can do about it. After all, your nun's holy water has been used up, and you are now without medicine. You can only try to give him some hope.]

[However, he glanced at you with an inexplicable expression, and panted, "You, who are you? I have never seen you before, you are not our helper! Were you trapped in this infinite magic ring before us?"]

[“Stop talking nonsense and tell me where the border is. If you don’t tell me, I can’t save you!” You urged.]

[“Okay, then I…I, tell you, the border is…that…” He raised his hand and pointed to the west, but before he finished speaking, you felt that this world was oppressing you again. You were rejected, and the ethereal voice cursed at you: “Get the hell out!”]

[Everything around you is shattered. In front of you is the black ashes and slime-stained old hall left behind by Nieqiba's self-immolation. You are sent back to reality. In order to prevent you from not understanding, the Taichu Scroll has marked a time for you. Today is nine o'clock in the morning on November 18, 11th year of the new calendar. The sun is very bright and you are also very angry.]

[Without even a moment to feel upset about the disappearance of the alternate dimension, you hurriedly rushed to the door again, and you saw that the Tang family member with a pierced abdomen was indeed there.]

[He was looking at the circle of wooden signs surrounding him with a look of astonishment, like cattle and sheep being enclosed in a fence. On each wooden board was a sentence written: If you don’t tell me where the limit of the territory is, your whole family will die!]

[Faced with such a vicious curse, the Tang family man looked at you in astonishment. He recognized you and said, "Brother, you... you came out with me... It's a pity that you can live, but I have to die..."]

[You hurriedly comforted him: "Don't be sad, brother. You haven't finished telling me where the border of our territory is in the west! Stop wasting time. You have less than half a minute. Tell me quickly and I will bury you properly."]

[You are such an honest and down-to-earth person. You can just tell him directly that he is sorry and that he has no hope and can just wait to die, but in exchange you can give him a place to be buried. If it were an ordinary person, he would have just accepted his fate at this point.]

[However, what you didn’t expect was that after hearing what you said, this Tang family member’s eyes suddenly widened and he shouted: “What did you say? How do you know that I will die in half a minute? No, no, no! We are still in the magic ring! We haven’t escaped! ah ah ah!”]

[He suddenly went into a frenzy, like he was crazy, yelling and screaming for a few seconds before dying early.]

"?"

Damn, what the hell?

You just refuse to tell me the exact boundaries of this strange territory, right?
Looking at the dead man on the screen, Xu Shu gritted his teeth in hatred.

Damn, that’s too much!
However, the man's reaction was somewhat like that of a small animal in an emergency.

It seemed that he was so sensitive about knowing something in advance that it triggered his mental breakdown.

"Infinity Ring? What is that?"

"I remember that the God of Death Arthas has another honorific name, called [The Infinite King], and the boss here is the tail-bearing Jizo..."

"Could it be that Arthas merged with Ksitigarbha's power, or that the two of them fought until both were injured and died together, and some weird thing took advantage of it and merged their powers to become Ksitigarbha?"

"Looking at the crazy and mentally ill attitude of this Tang family, it seems that the infinite magic ring has had a great impact on his mind, otherwise he would not be like this. It seems a bit like the feeling of powerlessness of a person who thinks he has woken up from a nightmare but finds out that he is still in the dream..."

Based on the other party's reaction, Xu Shu's thoughts diverged.

【? 】

[Well done, you are worthy of being the great master. You actually have such an amazing imagination. If this were put into an ordinary detective movie, it would take at least 30 episodes to make it. You actually guessed it in just two sentences.]

【But is this the truth? 】

【You don’t know.】

[But this time you are too lazy to deal with the aftermath of the Tang family. You hold a steel gun in each hand, walk out of the door angrily and proudly, and shout: "You are a traitor, a sneak attack from behind, a treacherous and cunning man, a shameless villain. If you are brave enough, come and fight me!"]

[You are full of heroic spirit, so powerful that your roar shakes the forests, scaring a few roe deer until their legs go limp, and a few wild wolves that tried to poach you run away cursing.]

[At this moment, you suddenly feel a sense of separation in your body. You feel as if half of your soul has been taken away, and you suddenly feel listless.]

[“No! Damn it, this corpse worm!” You cursed in your heart, knowing that the situation is hopeless, you turned back with all your strength, trying to find where the enemy is.]

[Your head turned 180 degrees as you wished, and fell directly off your neck. Your body was chopped into pieces cleanly. You vaguely saw a blurry figure on the roof, and at the same time you heard the Buddhist verse again: "I will not become a Buddha until hell is empty!"]

[You are dead, this journey is over, settlement in progress...]

[Comment: There are always people who live towards death, and there are always people who die towards death. You are always on the road to self-destruction and there is no return. Go forward and don't look back. ]

[You get the item: Double Score (Excellent)]

[Double Attack (Excellent): Double attack, double happiness, floating attack item. After using this item, your next attack that hits the enemy will be replicated once, and the power will not exceed the excellent level limit.]

[Number of times remaining today: 1/3]

-

Wow!

Everything in front of him disappeared, and Xu Shu returned to reality. He looked at the rising sun and the bustling (19, 18) hotel behind him, rubbed his temples and sat down where he was.

In the two expeditions today, Xu Shu was killed by Dizang Xianwei twice in a row. He had to admit that among all the opponents he had met, Dizang Xianwei was definitely the most difficult opponent in the same level.

In fact, Xu Shu is not afraid of the opponent's own methods. His unique move should be the "Dimension Slash" with strong cutting power, but this move can be resisted by Jingwei Filling the Sea.

The problem lies with the "corpse valley worm".

This corpse-valley worm is the real headache.

It was like a maggot attached to the bone, a bomb buried in the body. Once it was activated, it would produce a very strong weakening effect, making Xu Shu almost collapse.

Then it is combined with Jizo's extremely lethal "Dimension Slash".

"Headlock control plus super attack, this combination of punches can instantly kill anything of the same level..."

Xu Shu touched his chin and became a little hesitant.

So far, we still haven't figured out when exactly we were infected with the "corpse valley worms". We were infected with this thing without realizing it, just like in a horror movie. It's really a bit unsolvable.

This also resulted in the fact that I had been to (19, 19) three times, but had not seen the true form of Ksitigarbha even once - the last time did not count, as I was not able to have enough face-to-face interaction time.

Otherwise, Xu Shu knew that during the journey of the Taichu Volume, as long as he could face the opponent directly, no matter what the opponent was, the "narration function" of the Taichu Volume would be able to give him great help and allow him to directly see through the opponent's essence.

This is the most powerful aspect of [Sky Eye Mode].

Directly make up for the lack of knowledge among illiterate people.

Besides, he was going to die these few times, but he was not really afraid of it now.

The reason was that Xu Shu had fought with Dizang three times in a row, and although he was defeated instantly every time, he was ambushed almost every time, and it could be said that he never had the chance to use his real skills even once.

Because every time he thought that since he was on a journey, and since he couldn't win, he would just use Jingwei to fill the sea to resist and just do it for the sake of his gesture, and he didn't really risk his life.

Otherwise, let alone anything else, at least he would have no problem doing sit-ups on the spot to resist a blow. He just didn't have time to change his title. If a real fight breaks out, he will definitely go into battle wearing sit-ups and do a set of exercises first.

Besides, other people’s repeated deaths may only add some death experience at most.

But it is different for Xu Shu. He becomes stronger after each journey. The reason is that he can get a prop after each journey.

This is the capital of revolution!

Open the item column of the Taichu Volume and take a look.

Since the last battle with the second-level Tzeentch's Chosen, in which almost all the props were used up, in just a few days, many powerful or strange props have been accumulated.

Items like [Widow's Sorrow], [Walk in the Snow], [Boundless Love] etc. all seem a bit unconventional. The first two are special attacks on widows and look like fucking sex toys.

But in fact, if a fight really comes to an end, it may not be without effect.

【Love Without Borders】 is a prop used for group influence, so let’s not talk about it for now.

Take [Widow's Sorrow] for example. This thing can release the Ashes of Sorrow, a powerful toxin that can kill even a strong man like Xu Shu. Its power should not be underestimated.

[Walking in the Snow] may seem like just a new estrus posture, but who can say it is not a special body movement prop?
Together with the newly acquired [Grassroots Hero], [Repeat the Same Mistake], and [Score Two], although they are all strange disposable consumables, when combined, they can also exert considerable power.

Others include the remaining [Buddha Bless You] and the epic [The Desperate Couple], which are also still kept.

After taking stock of his actual combat power, Xu Shu felt more confident.

What is a "monkey player"? (Note 1)

I just want to ask you, do you dare to let me stack the complete buff and then take my "Iron Mountain Backstroke"?
But despite all his talk and bragging, Xu Shu already had a plan.

Let's try one last time, this time with full firepower, to see if we can find out the details of Dizang and make further plans.

If he still couldn't withstand a few hits from it and was killed in seconds, then Xu Shu would not be so stubborn and go for death. After all, the journey is the journey, and reality is reality.

When it comes to retreating when encountering an enemy that is too strong, Xu Shu has never had any idol ambitions and can let go of things easily.

"Come on, for the last time, let me see how capable you are."

After being ready, Xu Shu, with the title of [Succubus] on his head and [Sit-ups] cooled down and ready to be worn at any time, spread out the Taichu Scroll again and inserted his mind into it fiercely!

"what!"

Gu Pan screamed and woke up from his trance. He found himself sitting in a carriage, following the convoy, moving slowly in the wilderness, surrounded by overgrown weeds and ruins of previous civilizations everywhere.

"Panpan, what's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?" Gu Yueming, who was looking at the scenery outside the window, asked with concern when he saw this.

"I..." Gu Pan looked around blankly and rubbed his temples.

She found her head dizzy and was about to ask where she was when suddenly large amounts of thick memories gushed out and penetrated into her brain.

After a long time, she shook her head and her eyes became very clear.

After entering the wasteland, you have to move forward carefully; you are trapped in a difficult struggle in a strange cycle; you feel angry and frustrated that your efforts are in vain; you feel angry and unwilling to watch your teammates die in front of you again and again.

"..."

Has a new cycle begun again?
Gu Pan gritted his teeth as he recalled the past, and reluctantly took out the bowl of soup that had accompanied him from under the seat and looked at the bottom.

“Exactly, exactly, exactly…”

A series of densely packed correct characters makes people tremble with fear.

She counted and found that there were more than twenty correct characters on it.

"At least hundreds of cycles!"

Gu Pan's heart tightened, and he felt angry and terrified.

What made me angry was that I was once again trapped in this strange cycle.

What’s terrifying is, if this continues, when will it end?
But, no matter what, at least we can't give up.

She looked thoughtful and completed another stroke at the bottom of the soup bowl.

At this moment, her eyes gradually froze.

wrong.

Something is wrong!
This time, it feels different from every time before!
Different from the blurriness every time before.

This time, everything suddenly appeared clearly before his eyes.

The memory is so deeply ingrained that the content of every experience is crystal clear and vivid, and extremely real;

It was no longer that strange, chaotic and turbid state, as if I was trapped in a nightmare.

"Something has changed..."

"Could it be that the power that affects memory has consumed too much and gradually dissipated?"

Gu Pan's eyes flickered, and he looked aside with caution. After considering his tone, he said, "Aunt, we are trapped. We are now in a place that seems to be an open ruin, so our upgrade drive cannot be turned on."

"Eh?"

Gu Yueming, who was wearing a dazzling white gauze dress, suddenly had a frozen expression.

After a brief attempt, she found that just as Gu Pan had said, the upgrade drive could not be turned on.

"Panpan, how do you know that we fell into some special ruins?" Gu Yueming was a little surprised.

From her perspective, Gu Pan just sat there and slept for a while like a quail.

How come you suddenly know so much?

"It's difficult to explain it to you clearly with my level of knowledge. In short, we have fallen into a strange cycle. Even though we are here now, after a while, you will find that we are still here." Gu Pan said.

These incoherent words made Gu Yueming freeze again.

After all, although she is a second-level extraordinary person and Gu Pan's elder, she is actually not much different from a novice when it comes to special extraordinary events over the years - her previous sword master died too early, resulting in her never leaving the safe zone over the years. She only relies on hanging out on the upgraded network every day to make herself appear a little more knowledgeable.

This kind of "closed-door development" will obviously be exposed when encountering real abnormal events.

Just like at this moment, after hearing what Gu Pan said, Gu Yueming believed it, but he had no idea how to solve the problem.

Gu Pan looked at her deeply and kept a wary eye on her.

"This time, I told my aunt that we were stuck in a cycle."

"If she still remembers it the next time the cycle starts, it means that the power has really weakened."

"If it's the other way around, then it means the problem is with me..."

“Haha, it’s me as expected. After all, I am the one who carries the will of my ancestors. I am not comparable to ordinary people!”

Gu Pan smiled coldly in his heart.

At this time, someone in front of the convoy shouted: "Stop, there is something going on ahead."

Then a group of people gathered together and got off the car. Some people were responsible for guarding the surroundings, while most of the extraordinary people in the Hunter Association walked to a building that looked like an ancient temple from a previous civilization and looked at it carefully.

"Panpan, do you want to tell them about the situation?" Gu Yueming asked in a low voice.

"... Not yet." Gu Pan glanced at her and thought, are you my aunt or am I your aunt? Why are you so useless like a little girl when something happens?

She shook her head, put aside these distracting thoughts, and recalled the past.

"If I remember correctly, there seems to be a strange Buddha statue in here, with two faces and six arms! Captain Tang Rou took it away and planned to find someone to study it after returning."

"Could it be that this is the problem?"

In the past, my memory was always unclear, so I couldn’t find the key points.

But this time, Gu Pan felt as if he was assisted by God, and his thoughts were very clear.

She followed everyone and cautiously entered the ancient temple to check.

Most of this "box"-shaped ancient temple is now buried underground, with only the "person" on top left. Its location is very special, happening to be stuck on the border line, half inside and half outside.

There are a large number of traces around that look like wheel tracks, one centimeter deep into the ground, crisscrossing and disorganized. The traces are very new and should have been left not long ago.

Of course, in Gu Pan's eyes now, she can tell that these traces that look like wheel tracks should come from a giant octopus monster.

There was more than one monster, at least two. One was a weaker one, which was killed by her sword nearby. The other one was very powerful, and was at the supply point (19, 19) not far to the east of here. It chased and killed all of them, but was suddenly absorbed into the sky by some force again.

As he was thinking this, everything in this dilapidated temple came into Gu Pan's sight.

I saw a fence made of wooden door panels in the middle of the dilapidated soil.

The workmanship of the fence is very good, it is square and standard, and it is obviously the work of a master architect.

In the middle of the circle, there was indeed a strange Buddha statue with two faces and six arms, looking both happy and angry.

A group of people walked forward cautiously, and someone said, "There are writings on these fences, and they look very new."

"What's written on it?" Tang Rou asked.

"It says... um, it says something like if you don't tell me where the limit of the territory is, your whole family will die..."

"?"

What the hell are you writing about?

Including team leader Tang Rou and another second-level warrior Song Qixing, everyone was stunned when they heard this, and they all thought they had heard it wrong.

Everyone looked closer and found that the man was not lying and was not mistaken. He really said that.

Moreover, there are words on every fence. The handwriting is crooked, but still easily recognizable.

Gu Pan was also stunned. Looking at the shrimp-like words, the corners of his mouth almost curled up.

Fortunately, she recalled that she was in a bad situation and did not laugh out loud. She thought that no one's handwriting was so ugly, and no one's handwriting was as beautiful as her student's, which made her laugh.

A group of people looked at it for a long time, but there was no result.

Finally, Tang Rou said, "Move away and go back to find someone to identify it."

Gu Pan turned her head. She clearly remembered this scene, which had happened countless times.

Is it from here that the gears of this cycle of reincarnation start turning?
I couldn't help but narrow my eyes, but didn't stop him.

She wanted to take a good look to see if it was exactly the same as she remembered!
