Chapter 27 "Him"

The situation at the scene was even worse than Lin Luo imagined, and the impact of the Nether Portal was far more serious than the picture in his memory.

When he found this suburban village, everything here had already turned into a dead zone.

Whether it is the hard ground or the originally smooth and beautiful building surfaces, these no longer exist.

What appeared in front of Lin Luo was the scene of the lower realm composed of countless blood-red flesh walls and joints.

It can't even be said that the real world is polluted and transformed by the lower realm, it is more like the hell that directly replaces the real world after the space is interlaced.

If it wasn't for the vague appearance of the building, Lin Luo wondered if he had found the wrong place.

To be honest, people who are willing to set foot here, let alone other things, must have first-class psychological quality.

The stench of sulfur permeates here, irritating every fluff in the nasal cavity.

Every time you take a step and land on those fleshy walls, you will feel the softness and toughness of stepping on the pile of internal organs.

Everything here is testing the sanity of others, making people instinctively unwilling to approach this place.

But Lin Luo didn't feel anything about it, as if he had returned to his own home, he strolled through this polluted dead zone like a stroll.

He knew the lower realm so well that when he saw this scene, he felt a little emotional.

——In this strange world, I didn't expect this disgusting place to be the most familiar existence.

After arriving here, Lin Luo became familiar with the road instead.

As he walked towards the depths of the manor that looked like a cave of flesh and blood, he took out a pickaxe from his backpack and dug here and there on the way.

"Hmm... It seems that this conversion can only convert all the blocks into hell rocks."

If this is the case, then Lin Luo is a little disappointed.

He originally wondered if this conversion could randomly generate some ores unique to the Nether, such as quartz or fluorite.

Although the former can only be used for decoration, the value of quartz does not lie in its finished mineral product, but in the by-product of mining it—experience.

In the MC world, some minerals will generate experience after mining.

And quartz is one of the best.

In the past games, going to hell to dig some quartz was one of the sources Lin Luo used to gain a lot of experience.

Of course, after various infrastructures are developed in the future, there will be more than one way to gain experience.

But now in the real world, maybe other methods of gaining experience will not be effective, and I still have to return to the method of mining quartz.

As for the latter, it is much more important than finished quartz.

In addition to being used as a redstone circuit and light emitter itself, glowstone dust is also an indispensable item when brewing medicine.

It does not directly participate in the reaction of the drug, but it can directly enhance the effectiveness of the drug.

The witch also directly wrote the fluorite on the parchment, proving that it was the key to refining medicine.

So at the beginning, when Lin Luo saw the manor turned into this appearance, he was somewhat excited. It would be much more convenient if he could generate nether minerals in the real world.

But looking at it now, Lin Luo's plan is still in vain, and he has to travel to the lower realm himself.

After giving up continuing to dig and explore, Lin Luo directly entered the main building of the manor.

After reaching this distance, Lin Luo was finally able to hear the sound of the lower realm portal in operation from the air.

It was a mixed sound, like the low-frequency sound of some kind of motor turning, and the sound of water dripping from stalactites in an empty cave.

Thanks to this, Lin Luo did not get lost in this flesh and blood cellar, and quickly found the portal to the lower realm.

And the life-saving device set up here by Grolifa.

Lin Luo stood in front of the artificial fountain, looking at the floating ender pearls, and couldn't help but sigh.

Because in his opinion, this is somewhat of a waste of natural resources.

Ender pearls will not be generated in nature, and their only source is to be taken from the body of a creature.

That creature is the Enderman, or simply Blackie.

But no matter what, Lin Luo hasn't seen even a little black in this world, so naturally, he didn't even touch the shadow of the Ender Pearl.

In Lin Luo's mind, gadgets can be regarded as non-renewable resources, and each one is very precious, not to mention that now that he has opened the module, the demand for ender pearls has become more and more.

And in the plant magic module, if you want to advance the progress of the module later, the ender pearl is an indispensable thing.

In his opinion, Grolifa's life is worth less than this floating pearl.

It's a pity that this thing has already been thrown out by Grolifa, and it is impossible for him to get it back.

So Lin Luo also brought resentment and directly used the trap to take the pearl off the fountain, allowing Glolifa to teleport directly back from Maggie's home.

Then, he realized that the timing of his teleportation might not be right, because from Grolifa's distressed appearance, Laurentina seemed to be eating.

"I hope she won't blame me in the future." Lin Luo muttered.

Compared to his indifference, Groly's Law was even more horrified: "Who are you...why did you appear here!

"Also—do you know the use of that gemstone?!"

"You have a lot of questions." Lin Luo held the handle of the sickle and began to walk slowly towards Grolifa: "Maybe we can talk about one thing at a time, or we can directly answer all these questions. , and leave it to the most direct collision to answer.”

Lin Luo stepped forward and quickly pulled in the distance from Grolifa. At the same time, the distance advantage of the long-handled scythe was also reflected at this moment. Before Grolifa's fist could not touch Lin Luo, he had to Face the cold blade of the scythe first.

Grolifa didn't dare to neglect, he quickly parried Lin Luo's attack, but Laurentina's berserk attack had fundamentally weakened his ability to control Originium skills.

In fact, he is still able to move in a disemboweled state now, and it is completely relying on the increase of a large number of drugs to maintain his only remaining Originium skills.

Lin Luo's strength was far inferior to Laurentina's, but that bloodletting offensive method made Grolifa miserable even more.

"Actually, the thing you're using isn't a diamond, it's essentially a living creature's eye."

Lin Luo's tone did not fluctuate much, and seemed very stable during the battle: "It is a creature that can travel through space in a short distance, and its eyes allow the person who throws them to also have this ability.

"To be honest, I found that my thinking has changed a little bit slowly, because when I heard how you use the ender pearl, I still didn't believe it."

The scythe came through the air, and Grolifa tried to speed up his movements to complete the counterattack, but the disintegration of his abdominal muscles made him unable to continue. He could only listen to Lin Luo continuing to talk about those trivial things.

"This device is not advanced, but after all, it escaped from the original AI design content, so I didn't realize until that moment that what I had to face was a living human being.

"They will think, they will make mistakes in thinking, but they will also learn from the experience of making mistakes, and then move forward."

Lin Luo's wrist rotated, and the tip of the sickle hooked Grolifa's shoulder blade. His Originium skills could no longer turn his muscles into a protective layer of steel, so under Lin Luo's pull, the sickle Severed Grolyfa's bones with ease.

"But...even after realizing this, I still regretfully discovered that there are still such a group of people in this world."

Grolifa howled in pain, his left hand suddenly fell down weakly, even the wound on his abdomen was hard to tighten, and it opened again.

"This group of people is not worth treating them as human beings."

Lin Luo tilted his head and looked at Grolifa, with a hint of doubt in his tone: "For us, even if it is a string of data, we all have feelings for it, and it is difficult to let go.

"And how did you manage to look at those living people as data?"

Grolifa raised his head, and he looked at the young man in front of him with an extremely ferocious face: "That's a good-sounding sentence.

"Everyone ignores other things for their own goals. We are all the same, and why do you take yourself out of it and put yourself on top?"

呲味——

There was a slight pressure release sound from Grolifa's body. Next to Grolifa's spine, two potions were pushed into the erector spinae.

"I know who you are, you are the one Sophia said.

"'Him', it's you, right? "

Chapter 28 The Beginning and End of the Journey

"Now I am more and more curious about the existence of that witch."

Lin Luo narrowed his eyes, listening to the name that came out of Grolifa's mouth.

"Him" refers to a person, but among MC players, this name has a different meaning.

It was a widely circulated urban legend. In that cube world, there was an individual who was the same as the player.

Of course, this is an interesting story made up by players in the community. The old fritters like to use this kind of horror story to trick the new players who have just entered the pit.

But when the story takes place in the real world, it's not so much fun.

"Sure enough, Sophia is right, you do exist."

Grolifa straightened up, the hair on his body was constantly falling out, coupled with the extremely deformed muscles, it made him look more like a monster than a normal human being.

"Her prediction is correct, you will not be satisfied with just one world in the palm of your hand.

"Ha! I was still laughing at her whimsical statement at first, but the facts that kept appearing in front of me told me that I was the frog squatting at the bottom of the well."

"Oh?" Lin Luo turned the sickle in his hand, and did not attack directly, but talked to Grolifa with great interest: "I suddenly became curious, I was in her eyes What kind of image does it look like?"

"Image?"

Grolifa sneered: "You also care about image? Besides, don't you ask this question knowingly?"

He spread out his arms, and his strong muscles like cast iron were built like a wall:

"You mocked what I did, but you never looked at yourself-we are all unscrupulous people on the way to the goal."

The governor waved his hand vigorously, and the strong fist wind stirred up. His strength is recovering, but he is using the method of overdrawing his life:

"There's nothing wrong with it, the world is already so bad, but why not make it worse for your own ideals and goals?

"Recognize that you are also a despicable person... Or, do you think there is any difference between you and me?"

Lin Luo didn't get the answer he wanted to hear from him, he just shook his head helplessly: "Of course, there are too many differences between us."

The blade of the sickle is facing upwards, once again showing the posture of harvesting.

"It is true that we are on the same path because we started from the same point."

Lin Luo began to walk towards Grolifa, and it was time for this farce called the beginning to end: "But after we each took a step, we were already completely heading in opposite directions.

"The end justifies the means is our byword. To achieve your ideal goal, doing everything possible is the right attitude."

Grolifa let out a roar, and a large amount of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth. His damaged liver could no longer process the toxins in the blood, so he could only expel it roughly.

He ran like a damaged chariot, even though the black smoke was billowing, he still had the momentum to crush everything.

"But your unscrupulous methods are against others."

The hell rock in the lower realm continued to crack under the feet of the two of them. After the suicidal drug injection, Grolifa's speed finally surpassed Lin Luo.

The scythe was still being swung, but Grolifa's heavy punch had already crossed the scythe's line of defense and hit Lin Luo's face.

But Lin Luo's voice was still calm, just like when he faced death countless times in the past.

Impatience, anger, despair... These emotions never work for the status quo.

Only by being calm is the only way to find a way to break the situation.

Moreover, the only ones who can really save themselves are those who have made all the preparations before the battle.

jingle--

There was a subtle sound like a wind chime, and at that moment Grolyfa suddenly felt that there seemed to be some kind of error in his judgment of the distance.

Because Lin Luo, who could have been reached by one step forward, moved back one meter in the blink of an eye.

There was no change in his posture, and there was no sign of stepping backwards under his feet, as if time paused for a second, and then someone picked Lin Luo up and moved back 1.1 meters!

"And our unscrupulousness is against ourselves."

On Lin Luo's right ring finger, the evasion ring from the plant magic module radiated light.

This is the only magic accessory that Lin Luo can use. The first reason is that it is made of materials that Lin Luo can take out, and the second is that it does not rely on mana for energy.

In the game, the effect of this dodge ring is to allow the player character to dodge a block distance in any direction.

But in reality, just like Grolifa saw, without any sign or track, Lin Luo kept his original position and stepped back a meter.

This one meter has become a natural moat that Grolifa will never be able to cross.
