The door to the deserted house has no restrictions and opens as soon as it is pushed.
What you see is still desolate, with not a single flower or grass, and a thick fog in the distance.
Before the richness, a stooped old man in black robes stood there, leaning on a cane, motionless, as silent as a statue of a god that had fallen into the mortal world.
The edge of his black robe seemed to merge into the depths of the thick fog, taking root in the surging void. Little bits of gray catkins fell from the sky, still on the old man's shoulders like snow.
The old wooden door creaked, and several people walked out.
Yu Xing carried the unconscious Zhao Yijiu on his back, a few steps away from the actors, and floated behind them without touching the ground, looking at the old man from a distance.
"The ending is always so unexpected." The old man's voice seemed a little less solemn and majestic than before. He raised his furrowed face and looked at the door of the deserted house.
When everyone turned around, they discovered that there were dried blood stains on both sides of the door, and a lot of sawdust fell off the wall.
"The deserted house originally left you three days, but it didn't last three days in the end." The old man sighed quietly, glanced at Yu Xing vaguely, and then said, "The unexpected visitor broke the balance and also broke the balance.
Got the rules.”
"The original test is of no use. Now that's the case, let's stop here."
He turned around, and the thick fog rolled to both sides, revealing a road extending into the night. The dissipated fog was like countless twisted gray tentacles, splaying their teeth and claws.
The old man stepped into the path, and his silhouette quickly became blurry. Several people followed immediately, but they still couldn't catch the old man's afterimage. Instead, the fog surrounded him, blocking the entrance.
The feeling of weightlessness suddenly came over, and Yu Xing hugged Zhao Yijiu's body tightly, vaguely feeling that he was losing contact with this space little by little.
At the last moment, he heard the old man's voice ringing in his ears: "Before the ticket becomes valid, no matter what you do, it will not disappear, but remember, don't let anything inhuman see it."
…
【Welcome to reconnect】
The darkness did not dissipate quickly. When Yu Xing was thinking clearly, he heard the sound of the system for the first time in a long time.
[It has been detected that the deducer "Xing" has lost contact and returned, and is receiving data...]
This time, the system paused for an extra long time.
[Identity: Alienation Deducer-Despair Level (If the next deduction is successfully completed, you will be promoted to the Real Level)]
[Title: No connection yet]
[Deduction star level: cliche (special, because you are still active during the period of losing contact, the audience often talks about you, you have gained a certain popularity)]
[Description of the holder: There are too many missing parts in the personality mask, so it is difficult to give an accurate description, but you should know what you are. 】
[Personality sacrifice: ghost&#curse*|*^ (data error) (no wearing decision has been made)]
[Personality alienation degree: 90% (Personality alienation degree exceeding 20% will have a negative impact on the deducer's personality. Your personality alienation is too high... Whatever.)]
It had been a long time since Yu Xing had seen this panel. He listened to the system's announcements bit by bit, and he seemed to feel a sense of joy at the subsequent changes in some descriptions and prompts.
Although the price behind the joy must be borne by himself.
Yu Xing was hanging in the darkness and could still feel his own body, so he asked: "Where are the compensation and the reward from Dead Island that we agreed on before?"
The system said: "I'll give it to you now."
Yu Xing cheered up.
It's not because the system is about to give him something, but because the words the system said are not directly generated in his mind like before, but...
He heard it.
He heard the sound of the system. It was different from the cold mechanical sound. This voice was a low human voice that tended to be female. There was a bit of disgust and helplessness in the tone, but there was also a kind of emotion that he didn't know whether it was made or sincere.
"joy".
It was as if the system was speechless at his unexpected data, but still welcomed his return.
Oh my God.
The system is anthropomorphic.
This feeling... is a bit novel and very subtle.
"In the last event," the female voice said, "Dead Silence Island was destroyed. Ranked according to your contribution, you will receive the following rewards."
"One rule-level sacrifice of your own choice, 3000 points." The system paused for a moment and used rhythm to make up for the lackluster tone and tone, "Or a copy escape card."
"Dungeon escape card?" Yu Xing had never heard of this thing before. He guessed that it was probably a new activity created by the system this year.
"Use the dungeon escape card to connect to this system at any time. I will take you out of the dungeon immediately, interrupt the game, and the game will be considered successfully completed."
"What if it's in Yin Yang City? Can you also pick people up?" Yu Xing immediately thought of this.
Probably not. Judging from the current situation, the status of Yin Yang City is not lower than that of the system, and it is difficult for the system to interfere with the rules of Yin Yang City itself.
The system was annoyed to death, and his tone was a bit harsher than before: "...The only exception is Yin Yang City. Apart from that place, the dungeon detachment card can take effect anywhere."
Yu Xing: "Oh."
"You can choose one of the two rewards, but since I left you behind on the Dead Island, as compensation, I will give you a third choice." It, or it can barely be called her now, actually simulated
She took a deep breath and seemed to have made a very serious decision for her.
"I know that you have obtained the qualification to enter Yin Yang City. You can give up the activity rewards and sacrifice all the points and the sacrifices you own except Sheqing Dreamland in exchange for a core sacrifice and a matching
title."
Yu Xing was almost doubting his ears.
What is the system saying?
The third option, a sacrifice and a title, requires spending all his current points, five sacrifices, and the rewards he could have received.
He didn't know if there were any banks in the system world, but his first reaction was that the system was robbing them.
But Yu Xing soon realized that this didn't seem to be a loss, because the core sacrifice was really terrifying.
Among the people Yu Xing is familiar with, only Qu Nianqing has the core sacrifice. As the owner of the evil grace, her soul will always be hidden in the void, controlling her body like a puppet. As long as her soul is immortal, she will never
be killed.
Under this premise, Evil Grace also has the ability to condense weapons externally. Qu Xianqing's sword was once so powerful that intelligence personnel mistakenly thought it was the true form of Evil Grace.
With this core quality, Qu Xianqing doesn't need the assistance of any other sacrifices at all.
In addition, he also collected intelligence, and the ancient book owned by Yan Ming of the Survival Investigation Team was also the core sacrifice.
Because of that book, Yan Ming became the person with the most incomprehensible calculations and predictions in the entire deduction system, not to mention the terrifying information collection ability.
This is the horror of the core sacrifice.
The sacrifices that Yu Xing has now are not as useful to him as they used to be. The power of the curse in his body is his best tool. It can be controlled meticulously and is easy to operate.
If you add a title that matches the core sacrifice...
"System, although this proposal makes me very excited, but why do I feel that you have some kind of plan?" Yu Xing said with a smile, "We haven't seen each other for so long, and you gave me a big gift when we met, because you want to use me as a knife to stab someone.
?"
The system said: "I really hope you have this sacrifice and title. Only regular sacrifices, core sacrifices, and titles can take effect in Yin Yang City."
"I hope you will become stronger and then do something for me in Yin Yang City. This is something that only you are best suited to do."
She is surprisingly honest.
Yu Xing's smile deepened: "Obviously you are asking for something from me, but you still need me to pay such a big price in exchange..."
System: "The rules are like this. Every acquisition of power beyond common sense requires a price."
"Okay." The system was so honest, so Yu Xing agreed happily, "I paid this price. Tell me, what kind of sacrifice and what kind of title?"
