After reading the chat history, Shi Lai was stunned for a while. He almost wanted to say, "I've caused trouble to everyone" and also quit the group.
However, after hesitating for a moment, thinking that the world would allow him to chat privately, he still clicked on the dialog box.
Shi Lai: "Are you there?"
"You're finally offline." Human World seemed to have been waiting for him, and he replied instantly: "Have you finished reading the chat history? First of all, don't blame yourself. The split of the group has nothing to do with you. It was decided after I discussed it with the group leader.
The group puts on a good show."
Shi Lai: "...?"
Renjian: "Haha, you didn't expect that? Ever since I learned about the general situation of the nightmare trial, I knew that some conflicts would eventually break out, so I had already discussed with the group leader how to do it.
In the end, we decided to design a divisive drama to let everyone express their emotions.
This is a matter of concepts. There is no absolute right or wrong. On our side, we regard the Holy Soul Continent as the real world and the life there as our second life. We will be happy or sad because of the people in the Holy Soul Continent.
And happy or sad.
Those who went to the Holy Soul Continent mutual aid group only regarded the Holy Soul Continent as the real world to a certain extent, but because they could be resurrected, it was still more unreal. Subconsciously, they still regarded the people of the Holy Soul Continent as NPCs, and felt that players
His status is higher than theirs, it cannot be wrong."
Shi Lai: "Who are you and the group leader?"
Renjian: "We have neutral views, and we can all understand and accept them. Your incident happened to be the trigger, and we took advantage of the situation to split the group. Everyone is comfortable, so as not to really become enemies.
To be honest, I still wanted to take advantage of you in this regard. I would like to apologize to you here. Your decision to kick those two players out of the game was influenced by my suggestions a few days ago, right?
And, have you ever considered why the mission of the Nightmare Trial is to transform players into demons and hunt down human beings?"
Shi Lai: "I don't blame you, I wanted to kill him myself. Why...content?"
Human World: "First of all, we have reached a consensus that this is not a simple game, but a higher-level 'system' of existence. It may be Father God or something else, and it will put us into the Holy Soul Continent to complete a certain
kind of purpose.
At first I thought the purpose of this was to investigate the truth behind the battle between the 12 Demon Gods and Xiang Yu, but the history of the Xia family related to Xia Yi has also become the main task. I haven’t figured out the reason for this yet...
Let’s ignore it for now and regard the second main quest as something to confuse people. The purpose of the system is to let us investigate the truth. Look, it has a clear purpose, but the contents of the nightmare trial are not linked to this purpose at all. It seems
It’s a test for players with low ratings.”
Shi Lai: "Well, isn't it just a punishment for players with low ratings?"
Renjian: "Punishment? There are many ways the system can punish us. How about simply wiping out the memory of rookie players with low ratings, or players who are messing around? Any unreasonable and redundant actions have their potential purposes.
I think the content of this nightmare trial is designed by the system to distinguish which players regard the Holy Soul Continent as a real world and which players still only regard it as a game!
Players with different ideas may have different uses and values in the eyes of the system!
Rather than being troubled by this in the future, it is better to take this opportunity to directly divide the camps and let us clearly know each other's positions!"
Shi Lai: "I... don't quite understand."
"So I didn't tell you in advance."
Renjian continued typing: "Have you ever read novels about reincarnation space? The protagonists are all working hard to transcend the space. We don't want to resist, we just want to have the ability to protect ourselves. The memory will be erased as soon as it is erased. Isn't it scary?"
Shi Lai: "Resist... the system?"
"It's just an overestimating ant who wants to shake the sky." Renjian pressed the stinging temples and walked to the window to open it and take a deep breath.
After a while, he typed again: "There is one thing I didn't expect. The reason why Nanmen Daoxiao is so angry is because..."
…
Holy Soul Continent, early morning.
Lin Jingjing washed her face by the stream, walked to Xia Yi in small steps, and said, "Senior."
"Has it been washed? Well, if you look carefully, she is still a pretty little girl." Xia Yi joked, "It's just that her eyes are a little swollen."
Lin Jingjing rubbed her eyes in embarrassment and followed Xia Yi quietly. Suddenly she heard Xia Yi ask: "How are your history scores?"
"Ah, still, not bad."
Xia Yi nodded and said slowly:
"Thousands of years ago, when the Monster Clan was at its peak, there were countless people like you who died at the hands of the Monster Clan at your age, and there were even younger ones, 14 and 15 years old, who had just gathered in Tianshu Star and went to the battlefield.
Compared with them, you live in a happy era, with no worries about food, clothing, and safety. However, danger never comes after clearly notifying you. If you are more vigilant this time, your teammates will not
Will die."
Lin quietly hummed.
Xia Yi added: "Of course, the main fault this time lies in the temporarily changed monster hunting rules. The era is different. If I had grown up in the same environment as you, I might not be able to do as well, or even worse.
you.
I want to tell you that the deceased is gone, and the living must work harder to live."
He turned to look at Lin Jingjing: "Don't let any of your teammates die unfortunately. You only feel guilty for surviving. You can survive. This is your ability and your luck."
Lin Jingjing was startled for a moment, and said yes.
The mink baby lying on Xia Yi's shoulder made a grimace and said it quite like a kind and honest elder, but I have seen through you!
The whole journey was silent, and after a few miles, Lin Jingjing suddenly asked in shock: "Where is classmate Shi Lai?"
Xia Yi knew that Shi Lai was online again and said: "Don't worry about him, just let him be alone. That Nanmen is his friend."
"Can……"
"Before he met you, he had been alone in the monster hunting ground for three days, so there is no need to worry."
Lin Jingjing retracted the second half of her words. In fact, she was a little surprised and wanted to ask why she had walked so far. Then she remembered that she had not followed her. She was usually the one who was ignored like this...
Classmate Shi Lai, are you the same person as me?
She pursed her lips and recalled all the experiences yesterday, and she was stunned for a moment.
Until Xia Yi said again: "Lin Jingjing, you should know that you are a little special. Is it the ability of some kind of holy soul that makes people ignore you unconsciously? I am a little curious."
Lin Jingjing shook her head, slightly aggrieved: "I don't have that kind of holy soul in me, and I don't know why, but people often ignore me..."
Xia Yi frowned slightly, wasn't he clear about it? It really shouldn't be the Holy Soul, but it was the Holy Soul. His exploration system would definitely react.
Originally, he thought that Lin Jingjing simply had a weak sense of existence and was naturally transparent, but it was a bit too much to have such a weak sense of existence that only she could escape from Nanmen and the bear demon.
This weak sense of presence can no longer be explained by an ordinary personality and appearance. It can be called a special ability. It is born with the effect of hiding the holy soul from the sky. Isn't it a bit outrageous?
What could it be if it wasn't a holy soul? This once again touches on Xia Yi's knowledge blind spot.
Hey, why should I say again?
I am very knowledgeable, I know everything from astronomy to geography, and I don’t have many blind spots in knowledge!
Recalling the few things that touched his blind spots in knowledge after waking up, Xia Yi turned his head and looked at Lin Jingjing deeply for a few times, and then turned back.
