  Chapter 445 Chapter 442 · "You will definitely see the sea." (Kasiert Alliance Leader plus 23)

"This thing, called the soul stone, can protect us from being invaded by the black mist at night. It is very scarce, so save some use."

In the silent forest, it is covered with red Siber of Robe took out a transparent stone.

"Hey." a light sound.

The stone suddenly ignited a transparent flame.

This kind of light is very warm and gentle, giving people a very strong sense of peace of mind. After being exposed to this light, Su Mingan discovered the strange and cold surroundings from the entire world environment. The feeling disappeared abruptly.

The black particles and mist around with no opportunity gradually bypassed them.

...It's amazing.

"When traveling in the sky at night, you must light this stone, and its light can disperse the black mist. Otherwise, once you stay in the black mist for a long time, you will be cursed." Sibel Said: "The soul stone is very precious. I only have this small one. I have used this one for a long time. The remaining one can burn for about ten hours. That is, I can only bless you for two nights. Left and right."

"How do I get the soul stone?" Su Mingan asked.

Sibel paused: "...The method of obtaining is very troublesome, you don't need to know. When the stone is used up, you will rest in the night afterwards."

She raised her hand.

A transparent flame burned on her hand, and a faint halo spread on her body, repelling the surrounding black mist away.

She led Su Mingan, walking in the silent forest, as if holding a transparent torch.

Su Mingan chose to travel at night, but he was helpless.

The communication with Sibel consumed the most precious hour at the beginning of the dungeon. He has not yet figured out the specifics of the little dungeon, and he does not have a silver star in his hand.

Considering the broad vision in the daytime and the presence of players, the situation will be more chaotic. He has to figure out the situation at the beginning.

The place where he just woke up seemed to be the small wood house where Sibel lived. Because of her identity as a heretic, she was exiled by the tribe, so she lived near a dangerous forest with wild beasts.

If you pass through this remote forest, you can see plains and fields. The field of vision there is very broad, and after walking for a while, you might be able to meet other players.

As he walked, he looked at Sibel in front of him: "Sibel, are you familiar with this place?"

"en." Sibel said "I grew up here. Each of our Guides is a native of the sky."

Su Mingan did not ask about her family’s situation. Judging from her ostracized heretic status, Her family must be in bad condition.

Maybe, she was banished by her family.

This kind of belief in gods, feudal ignorance of the world, and personal murder are all possible things.

Therefore, it seems that she, who is not yet an adult, will live alone in this corner of the world, living on the edge of the isolated forest.

Obviously she still looks like a child who has not grown up, she is already so vigilant that she can't even hold the helping hand that came over.

"I saw sweet potatoes and all kinds of seeds in your house, would you still plant them?" Su Mingan asked.

Sibur looked back. She glanced at him lightly with a somewhat contemptuous look.

"Is there any land available for planting nearby?" She asked, "Where can I get land to grow food?" It is the land covered by black mud, and there are even black mud piles as tall as garbage dumps. The environment is extremely harsh, and there is indeed no fertile soil.

So Sibel should normally live by hunting.

In this way, she actually has some battle strength, at least she will set up traps to subdue small prey.

In the previous communication, Sibel said that the black mud piles around the house were rubbish thrown by other tribesmen. They used the remote area where she lived as a pollution disposal site, what? Throw them all here.

Those black mud have radiation, and it will be bad for people's health if they live for a long time. But Sibel couldn't help it.

She is excluded and can only live in such a harsh environment.

"Why do you believe in God Jiu?" Su Mingan asked.

He discovered that all the misfortunes of Sibel were due to her belief in this "Nine God" and all because of her heretic identity.

——Because she believes in Evil God,

She will be abandoned, will be banished,   will be rejected, driven away, and looked down upon by others ,

p>

will be forced to live in such a harsh environment, and will have to rely on hunting for a living under the age of adulthood,

will be reduced to... there is even a talkative person by your side No, I have to repeatedly doubt when I meet him.

"..."

Sibel's footsteps were paused.

"...because I was a kid." She said, "God saved me."

As she said, there was a rustle in the grass next to it. The sound.

Something seems to be wriggling in the grass.

She turned her head abruptly and saw that Su Mingan's back had left the range of the light source, exposed to the thick black mist.

"Come here!" A look of horror appeared in her eyes for an instant, she screamed, and violently stretched out her hand to drag him.

At this moment, a twisted, black mud-like shadow suddenly jumped up from the grass, moving towards Su Mingan's back!

Su Mingan took a step forward and quickly entered the area where the halo was.

"Tzzzzzzz ——"

The shadow melted immediately upon encountering the light, and there was a sound like a carburizing oil.

It wriggled and fell to the ground, disappearing like melting snow.

"——I told you not to leave the range of light, didn't you hear me!"

Looking at Su Mingan who is still observing, Sibel is frowned.

If this guy who claims to be the strongest adventurer continues to die, her little trust will be wiped out.

...Does he think he is very difficult to deal with? Still want to resist the curse?

"What is that?" Su Mingan asked when seeing the strange black mud melt in the light.

"This is a creature that haunts the forest. When it is cursed, it gradually becomes like this. If you are bitten by this kind of ghost, you will also be cursed." Sibo Er looked very impatient, but still replied: "The Hundred God in the sky, in addition to representing Perfection and Uniqueness, also represents the symbol of'sun and light'. And the sky that He has transformed into cannot protect the night. At night , There will be a black mist containing cursing energy in the sky. Once there is no soul stone to disperse, stay in the black mist for too long, you will be cursed."

She doesn't know why this traveler likes to break the casserole so much. I asked the question, but he was clearly doing death just now and was already killing her patience.

If he had just been bitten and cursed, she would not put a time bomb by her side.

"Why is there a curse in your world?" Su Mingan thought.

Indeed, his act of leaving the halo area just now was deliberate.

He firstly, to test Sibur's current level of trust in him, and secondly, to get more information from her.

If she wants him to survive, she will definitely stop his death and explain to him the danger of this "curse".

In this way, he can get more information.

The black mist of this unfathomable mystery, this distorted black creature, and the curse of a living thing outside the sky... Obviously, this is not something that a normal world should appear.

"Just like why there is air, there is a curse in our vault, this thing exists." Sibel said indifferently: "The curse is something unique in our vault, all of us , They are all cursed'Protector'."

"en?" Su Mingan is the first time I heard the term "Protector" cursed.

Cursing this thing, do you also need to guard it?

Sibel turned around and looked towards him.

The transparent flame on her hand was rising, the halo stained her pale face, and the pale eyes were deeply tired.

"No matter what world you are in, there will be rubbish, right?" Sibel said: "What is not needed, should be disposed of, these are rubbish.

And if there is garbage, there will be garbage dumps.

...Our dome is the garbage dump belonging to the outside world."

"Garbage dump?" Su Mingan was a little confused.

He did see that this piece of world is very ominous, and all kinds of disgusting black mud trickle everywhere, as if polluted.

In theory, the normal world should not be like this.

Sibel’s tone was very weak: "The so-called'curse'. In fact, this is something unique to our firmament.

We are from the firmament, and for generations to come. The curse, the environment in which we live, often has a black mist with cursed energy spreading.

No one knows what its source is, and no one can completely remove it. Once a curse strikes, no one Can escape death.

And things like this kind of biochemical weapons...Once released, the outside world will suffer disaster.

Therefore, our ancestors..."

Sibel's voice was paused.

She turned her head and looked towards him, the light in her hand sprinkled on her pale eyes.

"Our ancestors built the "black wall" that separates the vault from the outside world. The'black wall' separates the vault from the outside world to prevent the curse from leaking. "She said, her eyes were quiet:    "...So, none of us can leave here for hundreds of years. From birth to death, we have lived on this contaminated land all our lives. Each of us has a curse that cannot be erased."

Su Mingan was a little shocked when he heard it.

He didn't expect that people who live in this area actually shoulder such a mission.

The people here have actually chosen to take the initiative to establish Formation, guarding the dangerous curse, and preventing it from polluting the outside world.

The price is that all of them, from generation to generation, including their parents, children, and their child... all must live in this cursed world.

They will never see the beautiful and pure world outside in their entire lives.

Perhaps his face is not so good, Sibel raised the burning soul stone in his hand and approached him.

"Actually, curse is not a completely bad thing." She said: "Because of its existence, many of us have gained powerful power that outsiders cannot possess, for example, controlling flame. The ability, the ability to control the ice element, etc... Those Guides are the outstanding abilities among us. Of course, the need to use these powers will affect the curse on the body, which is why we are not willing to take action. "

"Is there a curse on you too?" Su Mingan asked.

Sibur was silent for a while.

The night wind blew her bright red hood, revealing her scattered strands of white hair.

After a while, she gave a soft "um" sound.

"We are natives...we are born with a curse, and the curse will always be lurking on us. When the curse strikes, people will definitely die." She said: "But, before the curse strikes , Our locals will also use some methods to delay the final time of the curse onset. Most people’s curses may not happen for a lifetime, and they will only enjoy the power brought when the curse is not on. Of course, you outsiders , I don’t have any resistance, and I will die quickly after being cursed, so I hope you take my words seriously."

Su Mingan slightly frowned.

He didn't know how to speak for a while.

The people in this Small World have a time bomb-like curse from the time they were born. It doesn’t know when it will strike and suddenly take their lives...

They can't even hold their lives in their hands, they can only do their best to delay the onset of the curse. Although they also enjoy the power brought before the curse strikes, they need to be worried all day long.

The bomb hanging on them, which cannot be peeled off, may harvest their lives at any time.

Death seems extremely close to them.

And for Sibel, the same is true.

Su Mingan suddenly understood why she had such a posture against the world when she first met.

This kind of world... will indeed make people live extremely tormented.

He thought this way, and suddenly saw her suddenly approaching him, staring into his eyes.

"So." She said: "——Don’t underestimate those black fog and cursed creatures, you will die, understand? If you die after being cursed, I will also lose my mind, don’t think You are the'strongest' adventurer and you can ignore the curse-even the strongest Guide among us, if the curse strikes, you will die. Death is fair to everyone."

" Then... You said that in this battle, the last surviving Guide can go to the outside world, is it true?" Su Mingan said.

"en." Sibel nodded: "Actually, this War of the Hundreds is not the first one."

……Not the first?    "Previously, every twenty years in the dome, there would be such a war of a hundred people, and the last surviving victor really passed through the black wall and went to the outside world." Sibel said. .

After listening to her words, Su Mingan realized that the world view of this world is not as simple as he imagined.

Originally, he thought that this was just a very small Small World used to give them a hundred players fighting each other. Those so-called "Guide" are all additions, in order to add luster to their players, in order to add more fun to this copy.

But now he realizes that this is not the case at all.

...This is clearly an extremely independent world with a complete world view.

And those Guides are also alive people, who are born and raised in the sky.

They all have their own thoughts and desires. They participate in this battle, not to achieve them as players, but to have their own beliefs and goals.

They have a cooperative relationship with the player, not a vassal relationship.

And this kind of battle has occurred more than once, but more than a dozen, 20 more...

As for Sibel, this is the most special one. In the first session, because they suddenly added a group of players who were summoned to help them. The previous contestants were all fighting alone with each other, and there is no guideline.

"Every twenty years, the Baishen will issue an Oracle to select a hundred contestants from each tribe. The person who survives the last can lift the curse on his body and pass through the black Wall, go to the outside world without curse." Sibel said: "As for the death of Baishen...that happened five years ago."

Su Mingan listened very quietly.

He knows that this is the key world information he won after gaining Sibel's trust, and Sibel will only tell him once.

Once he loses her trust, she won't say anything.

"Five years ago, in the sky there suddenly appeared a large curse like a living thing, and the sky was in danger." Sibel said: "At that time, the original only existed in legends and Oracles. The Baishen really appeared in front of the clansman. He was covered in a strong white light and couldn't see his face. In the prayers of the clansman, he turned into the sky to block the curse and sacrificed himself. , Has saved all the believers..."

Her narration was very slow, and her tone was softened like never before.

Maybe it was because she encountered something rare, not because she was a heretic and rejected her listeners. She spoke very detailed and complete.

Her face looked too young and too pale under the firelight, like a frail person with chronic illness. When she told the story, she put away her defenses and wildness, and looked like a Little girl who is not big.

It was the so-called faith that forced her to where she is now.

"And even if God Bai dies, according to the Oracle before his death, the one hundred guides originally selected will still participate in this war." She extended the hand slightly, pulling a little off. The hood covers her dry hair: "...and I am one of them."

Soon after he was born, Sibel was selected as the contestant for this session.

Even though Baishen died a few years ago, she still has to participate in this war according to the previous list of contestants.

Participants have no right to refuse.

Even if they don't want to leave this world, even if they don't have the will to get the ultimate winner reward, they can't leave this war.

A weak person like Sibel, who can't fight, does not give up the right to play once he is selected by Oracle. Even if she is destined to become cannon fodder in the crush of the powerhouse, she must participate.

Once the competition starts, only one of the 100 contestants will survive to the end, and the other 99 must die.

Only when the other ninety-nine people die, the only winner can gain the powerful force to leave the sky, to lift the curse, and to pass through the black wall.

...So.

So at the beginning of the game, when Su Mingan wakes up and pushes the door, will you see her lonely back?   Because she knew in her heart that she was so weak that it was impossible for her to live to the end.

She is clearly living so hard.

But from the moment she was born and was selected by Oracle, she was doomed to her destiny.

【...She will die in this war. 】

At the moment the war began, she had already stepped into the boundary of death, and Death God's sickle had been placed on her neck.

Her life has entered the countdown.

"..."

Su Mingan looked at Sibel's quiet face.

She is still standing in front of his eyes, with a bright red robe that can almost cover her whole body. And her wrist holding the soul stone was also full of scars from hunting.

When he just woke up, he pushed the door. When he saw her for the first time, she was standing under the night sky, closer to death than to him.

Therefore, she will be on the verge of collapse, in a crazy form, like a frightened and terrified animal, a lonely and alert wolf.

……It was his words of inviting colleagues, the gesture of hugging behind his back, which made her temporarily let go of the idea of ​​have no desire to improve.

Su Mingan figured out what the other person thought.

He changed his tone and stretched out his hand.

"Trust me, you will live to the end." He said.

He thought.

...if this world is real.

...if Sibel's existence is real.

Well, in fact, they have already carried so much misfortune on their backs.

In contrast, all the misfortunes he experienced before the start of the world game seemed a bit insignificant.

What homework is forgotten, what is the test failure... In the eyes of people like Sibel, it can even be regarded as a sweet pain, a small loss of living in a peaceful world.

After all, she has struggled with life and death all her life.

From birth to death.

She has almost no power to choose other ways of living.

Looking at Su Mingan's outstretched hand, Sibur's eyes fluctuate slightly.

"If you can live to the end." She said softly: "...Go to the outside world, I want to see the sea."

There is no sea in the dome.

In this dark, depressing world full of curses and wild beasts, there are only vague plains, dangerous forests, and crazy tribes.

According to some outsiders who accidentally entered the dome from outside the black wall, there is a sea in the world outside.

The people from the sky inside the black wall cannot go out, but the people outside the black wall can come in.

However, generally no one will come in, because there is no going out.

The memory of these outsiders who have strayed into the sky and cannot leave is generally vague.

But they said that there is an ocean in the world outside.

Azure, beautiful, endless.

Sibel wanted to see the sea.

...She wants to live.

"You will definitely see the sea." Su Mingan said: "I promise you, I will let you see the sea."

Sibel didn't speak, just stretched out hand.

The rough hand, full of hunting scars, shook his hand.

After that, she pulled her lips slightly and grinned.

……

……She smiled.

……

[……]

[In the forest that day, she suddenly smiled. ]

[The smile is so simple, like the smile she smiled to her parents before she was not accused of being heretic. ]

[This is his first and last time,]

[...saw her simple smile.

[She said. ]

[She wants to see the sea. ]
