Weird Calendar

Lu Qing did not expect Qin Ze's answer to be like this.

After living in this place for a long time, she has developed a personality that can survive in the apocalypse.

She was originally a sentimental woman, but now most of the time, she wears a smart single ponytail, just like a female officer.

But deep in Lu Qing's heart, there is still a little girl hidden inside.

"Thank you. Now that you have decided, we will set off tomorrow."

"I've left a letter for each of them."

"You and I are actually people who do not belong to this game world. We have done a lot for them."

Qin Ze nodded:

"So, it's up to them. Their doomsday survival has just begun, but for us, it's already over."

Lu Qing smiled. She suddenly felt that "Li Qingzhao" was a very interesting person.

She was really familiar with the name Li Qingzhao, but she could never remember it.

Maybe it's because the memory belonging to the player has not been fully restored.

…

…

The next day.

The effects of resentment are showing signs of weakening.

This is a good thing.

In each plane, those powerful resentful spirits dissipated, and the number of monsters was reduced. The players' consciousness has also become much clearer.

He was originally a person with a black calendar, but under the influence of Qu Yuan, he became even more unconscious. Now, most of the members of the Hall of Valor are gradually returning to their sanity.

But even so, many people died in this trial. Of course, most of them are newcomers to the Shadow of History level.

In the end, it is unknown how the Five Gods will measure rankings and plan title promotions.

Qin Ze and Lu Qing walked north along the manor and arrived at the northern suburbs of Linxiang City.

"It is recorded in history that there once was a powerful demon in the northern suburbs."

"It is an existence that even the rulers of the old calendar are afraid of. Legend has it that this demon will never die."

Lu Qing recounted the history without stopping.

"Once this demon's limbs come into contact with other people or creatures, it will stretch out countless threads of corruption and fuse the target with itself. To be precise..."

"It's sutures. It has sutured countless people. It is said that there are countless heads, countless hands and feet in the body."

"The most terrifying thing is that these heads serve its main body, but they retain a part of their own consciousness."

Qin Ze could feel goosebumps when he heard this. This was no longer a demon, this was completely disgusting.

Lu Qing's narration continues:

"This is the most powerful enemy of the first generation Old Calendar Lord. It is a lifelong enemy."

"It is said that there once was a very appropriate name, but later, it was changed to the God of Suture and Devouring."

"The game designer made some modifications to the process of defeating the Lord of the Old Calendar and made it into a game."

"This is the most dangerous mission in Linxiang City, but as long as you defeat the God of Suture and Devouring, you can unlock an old calendar treasure."

The first ruler of the old calendar...

Could it be that he knew about the person who claimed to be the ancestor of the old calendar?

Qin Ze asked:

"When you... failed, was it because of this mission?"

Lu Qing shook his head:

"No, I failed in another mission. I learned about this mission of defeating the God of Suture and Devouring through another mission."

"To put it simply, I failed, but the designer of the game also gave me a chance to make a comeback...to challenge more difficult tasks."

Qin Ze understood.

Lu Qing initially challenged Task A.

But mission A failed, so the game designer made it an NPC.

But for this NPC, as long as a suitable player advances the main plot and saves the doomsday survival team, the game designer will give her a "resurrection match."

But the challenge in the resurrection game is not mission A, but mission B, which is more difficult.

If mission B fails, then Qin Ze himself and Lu Qing will become NPCs.

Then wait for the player's redemption and challenge the more difficult mission C.

This is probably the pattern.

Because Lu Qing failed once, he unlocked the method to open mission B.

Qin Ze sighed:

"The game designer, the old calendar master..."

He suddenly stopped. The fact that the ancestor of the Old Calendar was the game designer was recorded in the Golden Calendar manuscript.

In everyone's opinion, this place is at most a place created by the God of Games and Entertainment.

This is a secret and cannot be revealed.

Qin Ze changed his words and said:

"The game designers seem to really hope that the team of doomsday survivors led by Wen An can survive."

Lu Qing nodded slightly:

"Everyone has regrets, including those who bear the name of God."

Lu Qing stopped, and Qin Ze discovered...it turns out that this city has boundaries.

When you are in Linxiang City, you can see the world from a distance without any problems.

But when he and Lu Qing arrived at the place in front of them, some distorted scenes had appeared in the distance.

Broken cities, hills, deserts, oceans, swamps, volcanoes, and even starry skies are kneaded together like broken and messy puzzle pieces.

"This is the border area. If we don't get the guidance of memory and advance the main mission...the border area will not appear."

Lu Qing took steps again and led Qin Ze towards the border area.

Qin Ze probably understood.

This is the path.

Just like there are many paths between the real world and the Old Calendar world.

In this game world, there are also paths.

These paths will only be unlocked if certain achievements are achieved.

What Lu Qing wants to unlock now is one of the paths——

Confront the path of the God of Stitching and Devouring.

He suddenly thought of the "Dark Fuxi".

The clone of himself went on a killing spree in another dimension, killing everyone.

This is equivalent to killing all possibilities of knowing the path.

At the same time, the mission was considered a complete failure.

This is good.

Just let him be sealed in this world. Qin Ze was not sure whether the other party would become a player and be forcibly expelled because of his weakness.

He hoped not, and hoped that the dark side of himself could stay here forever.

Lu Qing quickly arrived at the border area.

After entering the border area, Qin Ze found that everything in his sight became strange.

The feet were clearly on the ground, but they made ripples, as if they were stepping on water.

The wind is blowing in your face, but those swaying things are swinging against the wind.

The stars in the sky glowed, casting dark shadows.

Qin Ze marveled at the magic of this place.

It's like a place where bugs are concentrated.

"Hidden mission, defeat the enemy that the Lord of the Old Calendar has defeated. Of course, this enemy's ability will be weakened countless times."

"But even so, it may be the strongest enemy you have ever faced. Let me say it again...Li Qingzhao, have you thought about it?"

Lu Qing's hands were actually trembling.

She was scared.

I was afraid that Li Qingzhao would regret it, and I was also afraid that Li Qingzhao would not regret it, but they were not enough to open this road.

She was also afraid that she would make a wrong choice next time.

Once this choice is made wrong, a lot of efforts will be in vain.

"If you are scared, just leave. I won't force you... I can continue to wait."

Qin Ze thought about it carefully.

So far, I have only used two Coin Money Grass fruits among a lot of trump cards.

The abilities he has shown are almost like supermodels for the main missions of the game.

At the same time, I have improved a lot in the game, and my abilities are no longer what they used to be.

He nodded and said:

"Start the mission, I will take you home."

Even if you are already in the apocalypse and are used to seeing life and death, even if you have been tempered to the point where you can accept the death of your companions calmly and use the best doomsday thinking to deal with problems...

When Lu Qing heard the words "I'll take you home", he was still hit hard in his heart.

She lowered her head and responded softly:

"good."

Lu Qing stretched out his hand, followed the index in his memory, and looked towards the stars in the sky.

A magical scene happened. The sea of ​​stars seemed far away from people, but Lu Qing's hand picked off a star that was emitting red light.

At this moment, all the scenes in Qin Ze's eyes began to distort, as if being swallowed by a large whirlpool.

A new scene is being built.

He originally thought he had arrived at the border of Linxiang City, but looking at the surrounding scenery, Qin Ze realized...

He returned to Linxiang City. But the Linxiang City in front of me is very strange.

If you just look at the surrounding scenery, it is very close to Linxiang City that Qin Ze thought.

But if you lower your head and look at the reflection under your feet, you will find...

Even though he was standing on the ground, there was a clearly visible, dark white reflection.

It seems like there is a Linxiang City under your feet.

And Lu Qing said:

"Make your choice, there are two choices next."

"Listen, we must divide our work and cooperate. To defeat the God of Suture and Devouring, we must pass many levels."

"And these levels cannot be cleared if you only choose one path."

"Some monsters are unkillable, but their souls can."

"And some monsters have very powerful souls, but once their bodies are destroyed, their souls will be weakened."

"The world of reflection under your feet is the world of souls."

"And the world you see is the real world."

"One of us must go to the soul world to fight against the enemy's soul in an ethereal state."

"The other person, in the real world, uses his flesh and blood body to deal with the flesh and blood body of his enemy."

Lu Qing's eyes flashed with an imperceptible struggle:

"Only two people in the real world and the soul world can work together to complete this mission."

"Finally...the two of us can leave together."

When she said this, her tone had slight emotional fluctuations.

Although Qin Ze noticed it, he only regarded it as fear of the mission.

Lu Qing calmed down the emotional fluctuations and looked at Qin Ze calmly:

"Li Qingzhao, the real world and the soul world are two different ways of fighting... The two of us will establish a special bond. Even in two different worlds, we can communicate."

"If someone encounters an invincible enemy in a certain world, he must tell people in another world, because the enemy's weakness may be in another world."

"Of course, it is also possible that some monsters are not strong enough and you can easily kill them without the help of people from another world."

"But the designer's intention is for two people to cooperate. One of them must go to the soul world."

Qin Ze understood and looked at the reflection at his feet...

Thinking about the possibility of sinking into this dark white filter, I entered the so-called soul world.

Qin Ze fully accepted this.

Lu Qing said:

"Which world do you want to choose?"

Qin Ze asked:

"Which world is more suitable for me?"

Lu Qing was silent for a few seconds.

These few seconds were extremely long for her.

Once upon a time, she chose the soul world to be with her best friend.

But in the end... those who choose the soul world will stay in this world forever.

Some choices, once made, are already doomed.

As if a century had passed, Lu Qing gritted his teeth and said:

"The soul world is more suitable for you. Let me hold back the monster's flesh and blood..."

"I know a little more about monsters in the real world, but their soul forms are unfamiliar to me."

"But you are different. No matter which world you are in, it is foreign to you."

Qin Ze nodded, feeling that this allocation was reasonable.

"Actually, I hope to choose the more difficult one. To be honest, Lu Qing, I am very strong, but I still have a lot of cards that are useless."

"If the soul world is more difficult, then let me go to the soul world."

There are three choices in this world, the easy choice, the difficult choice, and the right choice.

The three options can often be combined in pairs.

What Qin Ze prefers is the difficult and correct choice.

Lu Qing's eyes dodge a little, but she just nodded, indicating that the soul world is the most suitable world for Qin Ze to go to.

Then Lu Qing changed the topic:

"We can communicate. If you have any questions, please communicate in time."

"By the way... we can also talk more about things in the real world. I'm talking about the world that belongs to us..."

"I haven't been back for a long time and I want to know what happened."

A huge feeling of guilt arose, making Lu Qing eager to know more about the young man in front of him.

It seems that just doing this can alleviate the feeling of guilt.

She wanted to know who "Li Qingzhao's" wife was and whether he had any other relatives who needed care.

Or is there something you want to achieve?

"The previous levels are not that difficult. No matter what, we can live and die together, Li Qingzhao... In this doomsday world, don't you mind making more friends?"

Lu Qing tried his best to suppress the feeling of guilt.

Qin Ze also discovered that Lu Qing seemed to have some extraordinary care for him.

But not surprising either.

After all, the two of them have to cooperate with each other next. You may be a little nervous, and you may hope that the person you can cooperate with is not so unfamiliar and you can get to know them better.

He nodded:

"Okay, I'm also very curious about your black calendar friend. Of course, I'm also curious about your experiences over the years."

Lu Qing said:

"If...if you stay in this world, will you hate me?"

Qin Ze smiled and said:

"You mean the challenge failed? Don't worry, I'm very lucky. You seem to be a little too nervous. Just relax."

"No matter what, we have to use our best condition to face the challenge, right?"

Lu Qing lowered his head and hummed. She is like a child who has done something wrong.

When the guilt spread, she immediately recalled her experiences over the years.

Made into countless "NPCs" and placed in countless planes...

Experienced countless failures, betrayals, life and death...

Such pain made Lu Qing's eyes firm again:

"Let's get started, Li Qingzhao."

A vortex appeared under Qin Ze's feet, which was the entrance to the reflection world, that is, the soul world.

Without any hesitation, Qin Ze jumped into the vortex.

The mission to challenge the God of Stitching and Devouring has officially begun.

(I really want to finish writing it in one go, but my head hurts too much. Let’s talk about it tomorrow.)
