Shuraba Player

"Let's go."

Looking straight at the cleaner who was slowly walking towards this side, and the cemetery gradually eroded by those monsters, the cemetery keeper spoke flatly.

With the violent vibration of the earth, a card with a faint golden light flew out from under the ground of the small wooden house. When passing by the two of them, a ray of light rolled out from the card and led them towards the cleaner. flew over.

And just after the puzzle card was submerged into the huge body of the clearer, on the bus far outside the cemetery, the figure of the shadow puppet suddenly dissipated.

After a while, in a dead silence like nothingness, Bai Zhi opened his eyes.

The bright moon is in the sky, and the fireflies are flying.

- He stood in a boundless sea of ​​stars.

Under his feet is a vast sea of ​​stars, all kinds of light spots of various colors wander aimlessly in the void, and his figure seems to be in the vast universe at this moment, and the light spots of various colors are floating at his fingertips.

"You shouldn't have brought outsiders in."

Just when Bai Zhi frowned slightly because of the shadow puppet who had suddenly lost contact, a very calm voice suddenly rang out in this vast sky of stars.

When Bai Zhi turned his head following the sound, he saw that not far from where he was now, a very beautiful woman was standing there quietly. A grave keeper of a piece of dead wood.

"Yes?"

Raising his head to look at the woman in front of him, the gravekeeper's tone was equally calm and terrifying.

"After all this time, your appearance hasn't changed at all."

"Yeah, I haven't changed, but you have."

The woman seemed to be smiling slightly.

"Now you have become old and ugly. I really don't know why I fell in love with you back then. Maybe it was young and frivolous."

"...At that time, I remember that I asked you to take care of my daughter."

After a moment of silence, the gravekeeper spoke again.

"How is she doing now?"

"She? Like you, stupid and stupid, but also very kind and gentle, she is not qualified here at all."

The woman smiled softly.

"You know, gentleness means nothing to people like us."

"Tell me about her."

Reaching out and grabbing the [Time] that was floating around him, the tomb guard had a blank expression on his face.

"What? If the situation is not what you think, then you must forcibly stop the final splicing process?"

With a slight sigh in her mouth, the woman waved her hand to the side.

"If that's the case, then I might be a little relieved that you've finally learned to change..."

Along with the woman's movements, the nebula dispersed, and the large swathes of light spots of various colors were scattered like a stream of fireflies blown by the strong wind, revealing a figure with purple hair hidden beneath it.

Looking at the girl over there with her eyes closed, as if she had lost all vital signs, feeling the close connection stemming from her bloodline, the tomb keeper fell into a long silence.

"To be honest, she is indeed a genius, and she knows everything about what I teach, especially after obtaining his mother's inheritance, her strength has improved by leaps and bounds. It is estimated that she will be given a few more years. can surpass me."

Turning her head to look at the figure beside her, the woman sighed slightly in her mouth.

"But it's a pity that she failed in my assessment, and she believed me too much. It was obvious that she had encountered that kind of thing before, but she still didn't have the slightest defense against me after she came back... No, it should be said She was still too naive."

As she spoke, the woman turned her gaze to Bai Zhi's side.

"It's you, right? It disrupted my overall plan since then. In my plan, she should have returned alone, and the rest would have to die, but you made my plan go wrong. ."

"Really? I'm really sorry then."

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Bai Zhi moved his gaze away from the girl, and then moved to the other side.

"Speaking of which, don't you think that you are a little too ruthless? Or... the desire to control is too strong?"

"Heartless? That's a compliment to me."

The woman smiled slightly.

"You know? I can kill you here at any time, how did you have the courage to come here with you? Are you really not afraid of death? You know, I don't need even a second to kill you here. ."

"There's no way, but if you promise someone else's thing, you have to finish it, right?"

Looking at the tomb keeper who was always silent, Bai Zhi sighed in distress.

"Also, you owe so much to others, what are you going to pay back?"

"Also? I never felt like I did anything wrong."

The woman spoke quietly.

"About this question, you can ask the person next to you. In some matters, the sacrifice of some people is very necessary. This is what he said in front of me."

Looking towards the gravekeeper, the woman smiled and said.

"Then now, it's your turn to do the multiple-choice questions."

"...what multiple-choice questions?"

Raising his head, the gravekeeper's words were hoarse and terrifying.

"First, sacrifice your daughter, complete the final splicing, and bring this decades-old plan to a successful conclusion."

Looking at the tomb keeper in front of her, the woman spoke calmly.

"Second, rescue your daughter, refuse the final splicing, and let these decades of plans completely turn into a mess."

"..."

"If you choose one, both of you will die, but if you choose two, you will both survive. So now, please tell me..."

"Your final choice."

Chapter 862 "Spirit" and "Growing Pains"

In the dreamlike nebula space, because of the woman's words, the tomb keeper fell into a long silence.

Bai Zhi didn't know what kind of grievances and grievances the two of them once had, but he didn't care about these things either.

The tomb keeper fell into silence, but he was very interested in talking to the woman in front of him.

"Then what, is it convenient to introduce what you are going to do?"

As he spoke, he followed and pointed to the woman's side.

"Frankly, I'm more curious about this kind of thing."

"Simply, our world needs a controlled presence."

It seemed that she was also happy to chat with him, and the woman said with a smile.

"Having mythical creations and being able to use mythical creations are two completely different concepts. We have paid so much price and sacrificed so many people back and forth, and what we want is not just a so-called mascot."

"So if someone can become the martyr of that puzzle card, they can interfere with the power of that puzzle card?"

Bai Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly.

"It shouldn't be that simple, right?"

"Of course it's not that simple. The concept of martyr doesn't work for a puzzle card that has reached the level of mythology. It needs to be far more complicated than you think."

The woman sighed slightly in her mouth.

"Simply put, what it needs is not a martyr, but a controller, do you understand? In order to be able to control it more conveniently, it needs to acquire [spirituality]."

"And [Spirituality] is obtained through sacrifice?"

Bai Zhi nodded thoughtfully.

"Okay, I understand. Martyrs can still retain their own consciousness, but if they are [spirituality], they have to give their all, right?"

"Yes, [Spirituality] is a completely new consciousness. You can treat it as a blank program. It already belongs to the category of "Spirit" purely."

The woman's eyes drooped slightly and fell on the girl beside her.

"After obtaining the recognition of "spirit", you will have the qualification to control it. The mythical creation at that time can be regarded as the real mythical creation. Only when it reaches that level, our world will not be imagined to be fragile. Glass can generally be destroyed at will."

As if recalling something, the woman closed her eyes slightly.

"The birth of [spiritual] is a very long thing, but it can be accelerated in some way. We can't delay it for too long. Before that time comes, we must have our own patron saint. Only by existence can we avoid the arrival of that shattering future.”

"Spirit..."

With one hand around his chest, he touched his chin with his hand, Bai Zhi looked thoughtful.

In their world, there is also the existence of a mythical creation that he currently knows, and he has been there by accident before.

-【Eighteen layers of hell】.

In the **** town that was reached by a **** bus, he completed a very strange assessment.

And according to the information he got from the **** shop's paperman boss, the next time the assessment will be at least after his thirtieth level.

In the past, he had various speculations about the significance of this assessment, but since there was no evidence to speak of, those speculations were actually meaningless.

But if you think about it now, it may be the spirit that was born in the mythical creation of [Eighteen Layers of Hell] for the players who passed the screening.

- Those who pass the assessment will be in charge of the [Eighteen Layers of Hell].

...is it cloudy?

Bai Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly.

He suddenly became interested in places like [Eighteen Layers of Hell].

In addition to wanting to see the evil **** who was sealed in the [Eighteen Hells], he also wanted to know what the spirits born in the [Eighteen Hells] would look like.

The ten store managers in that **** town might be the legendary Ten Store Yama or something...

"So you need her sacrifice to give [spirituality] to that mythical-level puzzle card, so that you can control it and become the patron saint of our world?"

Bai Zhi was still thinking about the things in Hell Town, but the tomb keeper spoke in a low voice at this time.

"Yes."

Blinking her eyes, the woman nodded seriously.

"You see, for the interests of the majority, it is also permissible to sacrifice the interests of a small number of people a little? In some things, some people's sacrifices are worth it."

"...Why is it her?"

After a moment of silence, the tomb keeper spoke with difficulty.

"Really? But since that victim can be everyone, why can't that victim be her?"

After staring at the tomb keeper in front of her for a while, the woman suddenly laughed, slightly mockingly.

"If the person who appears here today is not your daughter, then if I ask you, will you still ask what you said just now?"

"..."

The tomb keeper was silent.

"I know what you're trying to say, because you've given everything, so of course you can't do anything to your daughter. But among us, who hasn't given everything?"

Looking at the tomb keeper in front of her, the woman's voice finally cooled down.

"You made a big sacrifice? So am I making less sacrifices than yours? So that's enough, I'm already tired, please don't let me continue to be tired. You Do you know what I regret most? What I regret most is knowing you at that time."

Looking at the man in front of her who once made her infatuated, the woman shook her head in disappointment.

"So, why are you still alive? If only you could die sooner, how great would it be?"

"..."

No one answered.

"Also, you should know that you ruined a lot of my plans, right?"

It seemed that she lost interest in continuing to communicate with the other party, and the woman turned her eyes to Bai Zhi again.

"After spending so much energy to come here, what is your purpose?"

"Complete a promise, come and save someone by the way, that's all."

Glancing at the tomb keeper beside him, Bai Zhi shook his head slightly.
