After entering the cyber game, kill the boss and successfully ascend to the top

: Leading to the Final 65

In Kai Xin’s native language, whether it’s “she”, “he” or “he”, they all have the same pronunciation. Unless otherwise specified, the difference between them depends on identifying the radicals in written text.

But the notes passed by the lantern bearer to her ears were really strange. She didn’t distinguish the sound of words by hearing, but by “understanding”. She understood what the lantern-carrier wanted to express, and also understood that the “he” in the lantern-carrier’s mouth was completely different from “he” or “she” in the normal sense.

“He” represents a species that is not human and higher than human.

“Melville is ‘He’, so what are you?” Kai Xin swallowed, “Is it He, or him?”

The lantern bearer was silent for a moment, “Maybe it’s nothing.”

The atmosphere fell silent, and the air seemed to be frozen.

Kai Xin’s vision and hearing are still limited, and everything except the lantern bearer is blocked, and she can only hear the voice of the lantern bearer. She seems to be wearing a blindfold with only one hole and earplugs that do not reveal any sound. See selectively, listen selectively.

She felt that she was being…protected? What would she see if the black veil covering her hearing and vision were removed? What do you hear?

Kai Xin sensitively thought of the cocoon on the Kraken. It was something that couldn’t be seen directly. You shouldn’t look at it.

“Get on the boat, kid.” The lantern bearer said, “The river Styx is about to overflow. If you don’t want your soul to sink in, you need to get on the boat.”

Kai Xin was startled, moved her feet, and suddenly felt running water, and the water level was slowly rising, submerging her knees.

The lantern bearer held an old-fashioned kerosene lamp in one hand, and stretched out the other, allowing Kai Xin to grab his bandage-wrapped arm.

He brought Kai Xin to the boat, sat down in the boat himself, and motioned for Kai Xin to sit down.

In a place that Kai Xin couldn’t see, the small piece of land she just stood on was quickly submerged by the river, and their boat seemed to be floating on the boundless sea, without wind and waves, without reference, and without seeing where the boundary was.

“Where is the boat heading?” Kai Xin asked softly.

“It depends on your choice.” The lantern bearer said, “I will pick you up with a lantern, and I will be your ferryman.”

Choice… Another choice.

From the beginning of the game, Kai Xin was faced with a choice. For her, choice was not only a concept, but also a button that determined her fate.

“I don’t know where to drive, what should I choose?” Kai Xin said again.

“The answer is obvious, child.” The lantern bearer said, “Go to God, or not.”

Kai Xin said in surprise: “I came in, but I still have the right to choose to disappear?”

“You have.” The lantern bearer said, “This is a rule, a rule made by Him, you can only touch it if you get a promise, and you can’t touch it without a promise.”

“I accepted Menetho’s invitation and came in.” Kuixin was sweating, “The answer I gave at that time was to accept the invitation, but can I go out again after I come in? Isn’t my acceptance just now a promise? ?”

“You are only on the edge now, and there is still a long, long way to go before Him. You cannot refuse the invitation if you accept it, but you can postpone the time to meet Him.” The lantern bearer said, “This is a small Skills, dealing with these existences for a long time, you need to discover the rules and use them.”

“God… can only do things within the rules?” Kai Xin faintly grasped something.

“Yes, what they can do is related to their authority.” The lantern bearer nodded slightly, “They each perform their duties and have their own authority. If you want to touch the authority beyond the authority, then you have to ask others Existence does not answer.”

“Can I postpone the meeting indefinitely?” Kai Xin leaned forward and spoke a lot faster, “Give this rule, can the progress of the game and the date of world integration be postponed indefinitely? How should I get out of here? ”

“Yes.” The lantern bearer gave an affirmative answer.

Kai Xin was taken aback for a moment, then ecstatically: “Can you do both?”

“Both are fine.” The lantern bearer said again with certainty.

Her leaning forward body reset all of a sudden, and she almost slipped from the edge of the boat to sit on the deck.

The heavy burden on her body was lifted off at once. Her shoulders were slack, and her chest heaved uncontrollably and panted.

sheGot the most important answer, the answer she has been looking for all along. The answer that could not be determined before has become 100% certain. She has been gambling with fate, and now she has won the bet. She has found the right way—the way to survive!

“How long are we going to drift here?” Kai Xin’s knuckles turned white due to excessive force, “What’s the way to leave?”

“The time of drifting depends on you. If you think it’s time for you to leave, then you will leave. Time is a wonderful thing. In this dimension, it is the most unpredictable… Time has its own mood.” Lantern People say, “Maybe you have been here for thousands of years, but only a short moment has passed after you go out. Maybe you have been here for only a quarter of an hour, but when you go out, you will find that your friend has become a gray-haired old man.” .”

“How long have you been here?” Kai Xin asked cautiously.

“I…don’t remember.” The lantern bearer lowered his head slightly.

“Why are you my ferryman?” Kai Xin asked, “What have you been through?”

“I’m not waiting for you, I’m just waiting for the next person who is qualified to come here.” The lantern bearer said, “If the person who is qualified to come here is not you, but someone else, I will be his ferry as well.” people.”

Kai Xin paused, then remembered something: “I used to be a ‘ferryman’ too, that’s a code name.”

“I know.”

Kai Xin frowned all of a sudden, “You know?”

“Being here does not mean that the power cannot be extended. I know a lot, I have seen a lot, and I have borrowed the power of ‘His’ to affect many things. I will let that person find you and let him tell you about Melville. Stories… but there is always a price for doing so, and death is only one of the costs.” The lantern bearer explained slowly.

Kai Xin thought of the commentator. He died in an inexplicable way, as if pushed off a cliff by the hand of fate.

The lantern bearer continued: “You may not be the most suitable one, but you are the most sensible, smartest, and most decisive. He chose you, and you chose your path. Our meeting was inevitable and accidental. .”

Kai Xin showed a puzzled expression.

It’s a bit difficult to talk to the lantern bearer around him. He has a human appearance, but he no longer seems to have a human heart. Some questions have clear answers, while others do not.

Don’t want to answer, or can’t answer?

“How should I get out?” Kai Xin asked this question for the third time.

“Get out through the door.” The words of the lantern bearer had a mechanical hollowness, and he continued after a while, “But I don’t think it’s time for you to leave, you have many questions, and I can answer them for you part.”

“Door” is still a “door”!

The concept that had left a deep impression in Kai Xin’s mind reappeared. The door is an important symbol, the entrance to the third dimension, and the exit from the third dimension. …

Kai Xin was suddenly enlightened, and immediately wanted to summon the game panel to check whether the “Gate of Wucun” was available. After getting the reward of the Gate of Invincibility, it has been shown as unavailable, and now that it has reached the end, its usage status will definitely change!

But when she wanted to bring up the game panel, the light screen that would have appeared in front of her at any time disappeared. It disappeared, and Kai Xin didn’t get any response.

The lantern bearer looked at her silently, took out something from his robe, and gently spread his palm: “Are you looking for this?”

The thing in the palm is a key, which looks the same as the key used to open the door.

The lantern bearer put the key in Kai Xin’s palm, and the heavy touch made her hand sink.

“The key to the door of Wucun?” Kai Xin understood something.

The lantern bearer nodded slightly, “Use it when you want to leave.”

“You are our guide?” Kai Xin confirmed to him, “Is it you who guides us through the game process? The voice that keeps reminding us and issuing tasks for us… is you who are helping me and others ?”

“It’s not me, it’s Melville.” The lantern bearer said strange words again, “There are many forms of help, what you hear and see is the embodiment of some kind of rules and authority, it only depends on you It exists in a comprehensible form. Just like it is impossible for a god to reveal his real body in front of believers, he only occasionally comes to the world in the form of an incarnation.”

He claimed to be part of Melville, but denied being Melville.

“Did Melville meet God?” Kai Xin grabbed the key tightly.

“yes.”

“What has he gained, what has he lost, and what has he become?”

“He gave up his soul, self, life, faith, friends, freedom… He lost everything, in exchange for a chance to touch authority… He became Him, and also His child and servant.” The lantern bearer said slowly.

In this quiet narrative tone, the hairs on Kai Xin’s arms stood up bit by bit.

Is it necessary to give up everything to become a god, or the price of becoming a god is to lose everything? Melville became “He”, does it mean that he became a god, or was he assimilated by the gods?

This game is a game of the gods. Is this road also a trick of the gods?

“During this short but long journey, what have you gained, what have you lost, and what do you want to be?” The lantern bearer suddenly raised his head, his iron-gray eyes staring at Kai Xin’s eyes.

“I got…a friend, I had a special experience.” Kai Xin pursed his lips, “Maybe I also got power, but it’s only secondaryof. I lost my chance to go home, my hands are covered in blood, I killed many people, many people want to kill me… I don’t want to be anything, I just want to be myself. ”

“You’re a sober person, that’s good. A sober person won’t lose their way during the long voyage.” The tone of the lantern bearer was plainly filled with emotion.

“Have you ever lost your way during the voyage?” Kai Xin tried to keep up with the train of thought of the lantern bearer.

“I’ve been lost… That’s why I’m here, not outside.” The lantern bearer said, “This shows the importance of choice and opportunity.”
