Chapter 215: Brick City Race (14)
Shekh didn't hear any strange noises in the church and pushed the door open.
What came into view were rows of plain benches, and looking around she found no superfluous decorations.
When Shi Jinzhe follows the guide pointer to the building block, he starts taking the building blocks with props.
When the entire block was taken out, a secret door opened in the floor behind the sculpture.
He squatted at the basement door and waited for two minutes, but did not smell any damp and moldy smell.
"The city has been in an abnormal state for quite some time. This basement has been sealed off but there is no odor. Someone must have been here recently."
Sheikh asked, "There's no one inside, shall we go down?"
"Go down." Shi Jinzhe walked down the steep stairs, and the other three followed.
Jiang Yu was the second to last one. Before going down, he released four ghosts to keep an eye on the movements outside.
When she completely entered the basement, her eyelids jumped.
"I've seen so many building blocks, so I'm a little uncomfortable seeing this seamless normal wall."
There are no blocks and the entire basement is normal.
But being normal in an abnormal world means there is something wrong.
Shekh knocked on the wall, but could not find any trace of division: "The basement has not been alienated. It must be related to the crystal."
"More than that." Shi Jinzhe pushed open a door, and they saw a corridor inside. It was very dark and their length could not be seen clearly.
"Even if it's not alienated, this is not a normal place."
Building a place like this under a church looks like a cult no matter how you look at it.
He fumbled at the door of the corridor and couldn't find the light, so he bought two lighting props on the spot and leaned in.
After walking seven or eight meters, Shekh heard a strange flute sound, which was vague and had a strange melody.
After walking a little further, the sound of the flute became louder and all four of them could hear it.
"Why is this melody..." Jiang Yu hesitated, "This seems to be a prop. I have heard a sound very similar to this."
Jiang Yinxue helped her recall: "It's a sonic attack. Someone used it in a dungeon you passed last year."
Jiang Yu: "Oh, yes, this is it. It has deceptive and hypnotic effects. The effect is quite strong. You can buy it in the prop mall. It's not expensive."
"The presence of props means a player has been here before." Shi Jin continued to walk inside without stopping. "He who got the hidden clue like me and arrived here faster than us is either a stronger player from the same division than the four of us, or a player left over from the previous batch. I personally prefer the latter."
The sound wave item is sold in the mall, and the points are not much. If a stronger player arrives first, there is no need to take the crystal and leave a prop behind.
Leaving behind props with hypnotic effects is definitely to protect the crystal. The natives don’t have this awareness. Only the players need the crystal the most, so they will take the initiative to protect it.
"It's the previous batch of players." Sheh turned a corner and saw the word "positive" on the wall.
There are dozens of correct characters written in each line, straight and horizontal. It is roughly estimated that there are seven or eight hundred correct characters here, which took at least ten years.
Jiang Yu was puzzled: "Ten years, can anyone who can survive here for ten years still be considered a human being?"
"Okay, these characters are not deformed, they are not pixels, and this player is still a human." Shi Jinzhe thought, this is why the player placed the props here.
The thirteenth crystal has the ability to restore mutations.
Only by staying here can the player avoid being assimilated by the building block city and becoming those pixel people.
This person is not in the church now. He must have noticed that the dungeon has started again, so he went out to hunt this batch of players and steal their things.
Shi Jinzhe frowned, but this didn’t make sense. Why didn’t he use the ready-made crystal?
Is there something wrong with the crystal that he can't take it?
After thinking for a few seconds, Shi Jinzhe raised everyone's defense to the highest level he could bear, and then explored inside again.
He walked past the wall covered with words and saw the sleeping bag spread out against the wall.
The sleeping bag had been used for too long and had completely collapsed.
After walking for another five minutes in the winding corridor, a wooden double door appeared at the end.
Jiang Yu and Jiang Yinxue stopped at the door and said, "We won't go in. Just in case, we'll wait for you in the corridor outside."
The clue was obtained by Shi Jinzhe. If you go any further inside, you will be too close to the crystal. You have to avoid it.
She has earned enough points in this round, so she doesn't mind this.
It was a relief to have teammates who understood what was going on. Shi Jinzhe nodded and said, "Then we'll go in first."
"I'll go first."
Sheh blocked his movement, walked in front of Shi Jinzhe, and was the first to enter the door.
In the room, a piece of pure black crystal was placed on a high platform in the center.
As Shekh approached and stood right in front of the black crystal, the double S earring on his left ear began to heat up.
The energy in the air was absorbed by the earrings, and her earlobes turned red from the heat.
The influx of energy told her that the black crystal contained extremely powerful energy, and she needed this power.
She stretched out her hand, uncontrollably wanting to touch the black crystal.
Her tentative fingertips stretched out, and just as they were about to touch the crystal, someone grabbed her wrist.
"Shekh."
A female voice called her.
It's very familiar. I've heard it in my dream and seen it in the previous copy. It's Shi Jinzhe's mother, Bai Weishuang.
Sheh's slightly empty eyes came back to life, she looked in the direction of the voice and saw her past self.
This time it was not in the forest, but in that huge animal world.
A beautiful dress was put on her. Bai Weishuang pushed aside her hair on both sides, pressed her fingers on her black ribbon, and asked gently, "Do you like it here?"
In my memory, she didn't speak, just nodded.
"Since you like it, how about living here with me? There are very tall trees here, and there are snakes as big as you. You don't have to worry about crushing those little creatures with a single roll. You can be friends with them, and I can accompany you and tell you many, many stories. Are you willing to stay?"
This time the answer was not as decisive as before. Sheh saw that he had hesitated for a long time and shook his head.
Bai Weishuang's expression did not change, and he did not force her: "It doesn't matter if you don't want to. It's a great progress for you to come to this world with me this time."
She smiled and opened her palm, and a pair of double S earrings appeared in her palm, "This is for you, as a souvenir of your visit here."
"What's this."
"These earrings are made from my husband's life force." Bai Weishuang lowered her voice and whispered, "Let's do this quietly without telling him. I'll give you half of this. No matter where you are in the future, you can follow the clues to find me. You can come anytime you want."
"Why...give it to me."
"I like you very much." Bai Weishuang bent down slightly to help herself straighten out her new clothes, then supported her knees with her arms, and praised her with a smile: "You are very cute."
Sheh looked at the scene quietly. No one had ever used this word to describe her.
Of the memories she recalled, the word terrible was the only one.
Bai Weishuang meant it when she said she was cute, but her eyes revealed a different emotion.
It was difficult for Shekh to describe things he had never seen, and it was as if he was expressing pity for those whose fate had been unfair to him, with a sense of sadness.
Bai Weishuang put the earrings on her ears. The symmetrical double S was very special. She fiddled with it and said, "Infinite possibilities. The meaning of this pattern really suits you."
Through his memory, Shehe saw his tail tip, which was still pink at that time, hiding behind a tree and swaying. There was also a hidden piece of white vine hanging on the tree.
The lake was rippling and the trees were rustling in the autumn wind. In this peaceful atmosphere, she felt sleepy and leaned against the tree and slowly closed her eyes.
Darkness replaced the warmth, and Sheh opened his eyes again, finding himself sitting in a collapsed palace.
"This ribbon is important. You can't take it off again."
The familiar voice was right before his eyes. Sheh looked up and saw Bai Weishuang tying a ribbon for himself.
She opened her mouth and had many questions to ask, but the past could not be changed. This body was not under her control, so she could only be a bystander.
The black ribbon was tied tightly behind her head. Bai Weishuang patted her head comfortingly, then pulled down her hand that was about to untie the ribbon and held it in his own hand.
"Good boy, be obedient."
"you will die."
"No, don't worry."
Bai Weishuang forced a smile and said, "Put your skills back and stop absorbing those filthy things from outside. They will pollute your mind. I like your current personality better."
She spoke calmly, but her face was as white as paper.
"This maze palace is your prison. Once the injuries you sustained when opening the world passage are healed, you can leave this place as soon as possible."
"I have taken you to many worlds, and those places are very suitable for you, but you must remember that if there are still people who hurt you like those people here, you can kill them, but you can't take killing for granted and kill indiscriminately..."
"Also, you must protect yourself at all times and don't take off the ribbon easily..."
Shehe shook her head and tried to pull her hand away forcefully, but Bai Weishuang's bloody hand held her tightly, not allowing her to use any more skills.
The black mist outside the palace continued to spread inwards. The moment it touched Bai Weishuang, her body could no longer bear it and she fell to the ground with her head tilted sideways.
The wet clothes smelled strongly of blood, and the ground beneath the two people was stained red.
The palm that was relieving the force loosened, and Sheh was finally able to pull his hand free and continue to absorb the black mist.
“Stop…”
Chaos and deathly silence returned to her body, and Sheh felt something slipping away from her body.
The sounds around her faded away, and an inky color climbed up Bai Weishuang's body, quickly absorbing her vitality.
However, the thick black color soon faded away.
Shekh absorbed the black mist that polluted the white frost, and faint black lines appeared on his face.
The anger on that face, which didn't seem cold, disappeared, and the expression gradually became cold.
Seeing this, Bai Weishuang moved his fingers on the ground twice, but he couldn't lift them up no matter what.
If prevention is not possible, then the only option left is verbal deception.
"...I still have the other half of the vitality given by Mu Bai in my body, I will be fine... Stop now."
"Stop absorbing it... Stop it."
Sheh couldn't hear what she was saying because the figure was blurry in his eyes.
Many scenes flashed through her mind, from Bai Weishuang approaching her again and again, to taking her away from here, and going to other places.
From being shorter than Bai Weishuang’s chest to being as tall as her.
Grows from a pink tail to a dark purple snake tail.
There are still many, many fragments of memory...
[It's great that you are finally willing to go with me.]
[You are not a monster, nor are you incomplete. You are the greatest work of the Creator, and you have the most beautiful tail I have ever seen.]
[Looking only in spring is too limited, I will take you to see the world, let's open up the horizon.]
[Don't come back here anymore. Come live with me somewhere else. You will definitely like it there, and I can be your family member.]
[People are greedy. You should be yourself first, then love others.]
[You are so good, there must be someone who is willing to overcome all obstacles and come to you, but treasures are always hard to discover. The later he comes and the more embarrassed he leaves, the more precious you are.]
In the picture, the face of the woman who was speaking gradually became vague and her voice became more and more unfamiliar.
In Sheh's mind, all memories of Bai Weishuang were fading.
Bai Weishuang saw the confusion on her face and said, "If you don't want to forget me, I'll stop..."
Shekh hesitated for a moment, and in that moment, the third force appeared.
Bai Weishuang, who was barely breathing, was lifted up by an invisible force and carried out: "…I have done what I promised you, you will keep your promise, right?"
"Yes, I will hide her, and your child will not be selected to enter the game in the future. Mission accomplished, now you should leave here."
The overwhelming force broke through Shehe's protection. She stared at Bai Weishuang who was being taken away and tried to stand up from the ground.
Her sixth sense told her that she must not let Bai Weishuang be taken away, because if she was taken away, she would never see this person again.
She stood up and dragged her injured body forward.
The black mist rushed into Shehe's body, and in her memory, the face that grew up with her became more blurred.
With every step forward, a piece of memory is lost, just like this collapsed palace, which is completely damaged.
Finally, she stopped in the center of the collapsed palace, staring expressionlessly at Bai Weishuang being taken away.
Before the black fog obscured her vision, Bai Weishuang smiled at her one last time.
It’s better to forget.
It is painful for the living to live with the memories of the dead, so this is good.
If you don’t remember, you won’t be sad.
"do not go."
!
Bai Weishuang was suddenly stunned, and his final consciousness was awakened by these words.
She looked towards Sheh, stunned and silent.
Shekh repeated, “Don’t go.”
This is the only person who has ever given her warmth. She cannot become a sentence in her memory that can never be remembered again.
After this departure, she could no longer comfort herself by saying that Bai Weishuang did not come to see her because he was slowed down by the wind and snow.
Shehe's hands kept absorbing the mist. As long as she absorbed all the black mist that sucked Bai Weishuang's vitality, she would not be polluted.
But the thick fog was like a bottomless pit, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't absorb these things.
Blood dripped all the way, and the familiar woman was getting farther and farther away from her, and she couldn't catch up with her.
The black fog obscured his figure, and Sheh stood there, helpless, tears falling from his eyes, down his cheeks, onto his clothes, and onto the ground.
It was something very strange. She raised her hand to take it, but only felt wet water, a drop of water.
The flat surface of the water reflected the palace and the black fog, as well as her own reflection, with purple eyes with ribbons and a face wet with tears underneath.
"I don't want to forget you."
She just stood there, motionless, speaking these words to the tears in her hands.
Then her body became as stiff and white as the marble of the palace, as if grown together.
Clang——
In the last second before he lost consciousness, Sheh saw a woman covered in blood throwing a flying knife at him with all her might.
Something fell from her, but she could no longer see it.
