Between life and death [unlimited]

Chapter 191 The Eve

When the sun above people's heads is constantly moving towards the west in a lazy attitude, the rumors that are like rapidly growing weeds spread in the city of survivors are more than a few times faster than the displacement of the sun. times.

The development of the whole incident did not take long. At the beginning, it was only a small-scale spread of news. Later, almost all the residents of Survivor City knew the place where the players performed the last mission. It has become the home they depend on for survival, that is, the living space.

Without any complicated reasoning, everyone can already guess that this must be the reason why such a huge amount of murder data was found in the city as soon as they woke up this morning.

It can also be seen that they are inexperienced, and they are suddenly brought to the mission world, and, as NPCs here, there is no guarantee for their personal safety.

And these indigenous residents who have lived in the living space for generations and have never performed tasks-this group of honest residents who are no different from humans can become the sisters of players. They were not at all interested in spending gold coins to perform tasks before. Interest—I'm afraid I hate these players from different worlds now.

If it weren't for these players, the living space would not be affected by this impermanent game of life and death for no reason, and their homeland would not become the place of the "last battle".

As a result, the aborigines, whose reason has been completely overwhelmed by anger and fear, flocked to all institutions that could take responsibility for them—whether these organizations are composed of players or local residents, as long as there are It is good that an organization takes the lead and can solve current problems for everyone.

Many residents whose memories still remained in the past subconsciously ran to the vicinity of the Divine Blessed Knights in the center of the city.

But it is a pity that since the Divine Blessing Knights were deliberately destroyed, and its organization began to fall apart, the huge and magnificent white castle has almost become an "empty city" now.

This "empty" refers to the literal sense of emptiness.

The building is empty, and the people are empty.

When a large group of residents rushed to the door, there were only a few elite knights under the banner of the head of the knights, that is, the elite knights in "Silver Ling", who were still guarding tenaciously, insisting on maintaining this inner body. Empty large shell towards collapse.

They stood silently in front of the gate, no matter how chaotic the scene was, they would not allow any excited residents to rush in, and their ears seemed to be unable to hear the wailing of these poor people——

"Let's go in! Is there anything in there that we don't want us to see?"

"Shouldn't the Divine Blessing Knights take on the responsibility of protecting us?"

"Leader, please, please save us!"

"Why are you hiding inside and refusing to come out? Don't you guys just hide behind your back and act like turtles when you encounter problems!"

"..."

But no matter how these aborigines yelled or pleaded in the street, hoping that the Knights could help them, there was no sign of anyone in the Divine Bless Knights intending to advocate for this event.

Except for the few knights who insisted on standing guard at the gate like silent sculptures, the aborigines in the living space never saw the appearance of other knights.

I don't know where the knight leader and her loyal subordinates will go now under such a tense situation (at least for NPCs).

So in the end, even the last resident at the gate of the Divine Blessed Knights who insisted on asking the head of the Knights for help left this gloomy and lifeless place.

In the old days, the scene of God's Blessed Knights being crowded is long gone, and now it is still magnificent, but in front of the empty gate, there are only some chirping birds, and those who stick to it like banners The knight stands tall.

Since these desperate residents could not seek help from the former "overlord" Gods Blessing Knights, they had no choice but to turn their attention to the newly promoted largest organization, which happened to be composed of the aborigines in the city and players who had turned their backs on the dark side. - above the League of Gods.

I believe that as aborigines, they must understand this critical situation better!

And not far from the Blessed Knights, a familiar-looking companion wearing the clothes of ordinary city residents——if you look closely, you will find that he is the one who was once sent to the Blessed Knights. The tall envoy of the regiment——he had a rare nervous expression on his face, and his steps were quite hasty as he walked forward in a large and luxuriously decorated building.

Located near the bustling street, this secluded courtyard, which means "quiet amidst the hustle and bustle", is filled with lush and slender green bamboos almost all year round. Occasionally, when the breeze passes by, there will be whirling sounds from the dense bamboo leaves. The smoke from the bustling people outside the upper courtyard has a special charm.

It's a pity that these oriental plants that stand elegantly but don't have any sound-absorbing and noise-reducing functions can't successfully stop the noise from the street outside. Suddenly, even the bamboo leaves in the courtyard are covered by this noise It was so shocked that it fell down.

But after the envoy hurried into a quiet room, his ears were miraculously no longer disturbed by any outside noise, and his whole body seemed to be immersed in a deep and silent sea.

Therefore, his originally eager mood suddenly calmed down a lot because of the current environment.

After entering the room, the tall messenger automatically ignored other people or things without looking sideways.He faced the direction in front of him, knelt down without hesitation, and asked the "big man" leaning on the couch respectfully for instructions.

"I heard from my subordinates that the Divine Blessing Knights don't seem to be planning to take the lead in this mission, and the rest of the player organizations have always responded according to the Knights...so now almost all the residents in the city have come to us. Request for help."

When the tall messenger came here, his words paused for some reason: "...Master Apate, what do you think our Alliance of Gods should do now?"

In normal times, for such a threat to the lives of the people, it would be appropriate for the Alliance of Gods to take the lead to set an example-but his pause was not for anything else, but precisely because the things he encountered this time were not simple. Yes, only homicides between two residents or between a resident and a player.

And according to the rumors outside, this is a mission involving the "last battle"!

Perhaps for the players, it doesn’t matter where the noise is when the task is performed, anyway, they can survive as long as they have a breath at the last moment of completing the task (refer to the end of "Disaster", Jiang Li, who was seriously injured, relied on his excellent body The quality survived);

But looking at it from another angle, what about these ordinary residents in the city of survivors?It is never a good thing to have a task that falls upon them suddenly.

Leaving aside the sudden increase in the death rate within a day, players may not necessarily die during the mission, and there may even be a chance to come back at the last moment, but this does not mean that the residents are the same as the players. Death in game.

At this time, the volume in the room was extremely quiet, which was in stark contrast to the noisy streets outside.And the "big man" leaning on the couch, after hearing the report from his subordinates, seemed to think about it carefully—the jade-like green fingers lightly tapped the malachite inlaid on the front, this is his A subconscious movement of thinking——After a while, the corner of his mouth raised a half-smile.

"I almost wonder now whether Jiang Ke has some 'unknown' relationship with the system."

A clear male voice sounded in the quiet room, Apate sat up straight on the couch, the loose and warm sunlight shone on his body and face, but he couldn't see his real appearance—because his face was covered It was covered by an exquisitely hollowed black-gold mask, but his handsome face could still be seen from the corner of his jaw that was not completely covered.

Apate added: "When she is in crisis, there will always be some missions to help her through..."

Maybe it was because he recalled that his careful arrangement was finally interrupted by a special mission. The mortal Jiang Ke and her group of loyal knights finally came back like a swarm of buzzing flies. He couldn't help it. There was an unknown fire on the ground.

Not to mention the final battle where the location is now changed to the living space. If this is true, then the system will help those stupid players organize against their rising NPC group on the bright side.

But Apate didn't show any displeasure on his pale and gloomy face.He just suddenly asked his subordinates: "This rumor, are you sure it's true?"

The tall messenger seemed to hesitate for a few seconds, but he quickly nodded his head heavily and replied: "Yes, I have confirmed with those players just now, and they all said that they heard the system prompt to enter Game notifications."

When the Divine Blessing Knights fell apart that day, a small number of junior knights who knew how to assess the situation chose to "abandon the dark and turn to the bright", and they took advantage of the opportunity to join the Alliance of Gods that was about to replace all the high-level organizations in the city.

Hearing this answer that does not seem to be fake, Apate suddenly stretched out his fingers and stroked his chin lightly - this is a thinking posture he has learned from others - like eyes covered with thick and gloomy colors, in the Gulu rolled in his deep eye sockets.

On the one hand, there are useless compatriots who are also NPCs waiting to be rescued, and on the other hand, gamers who have experienced many battles and do not know how many tasks they have completed;

After tangling and comparing in his heart several times, he finally made up his mind and made an important decision - in the current situation that can be said to be beneficial to the players without any harm, they, as vulnerable group NPCs, seem to be Not many choices can be made.

So in the next second Apate stood up decisively from the couch, and those beautifully shaped white feet stood naked on the plush carpet.

"Let's go ahead and let them continue to find out what 'something' is hindering it."

He walked slowly towards the door, and Apate, who seldom went out in person, said to his subordinates who hadn't reacted yet: "Then let's go too, and meet those 'lucky' guys together."

"In any case, this matter is also a task for the players to complete, isn't it?"

……

And in the huge white castle not far away, Jiang Ke, who had been shouted by the aborigines outside the door for a long time but did not show up, has been sitting in her office on the fifth floor from the beginning to the end.

After Jiang Ke heard the report from James, she naturally knew the news that Apate was about to come to the Divine Blessed Knights—a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, even if the Divine Blessed Knights left most of the junior knights, these investigation The channel of the news has not yet been destroyed.

But she seemed to have thought about it a long time ago, and she couldn't see any surprised expression on her face or eyes.

"If Apate has already set off, then he should be here soon, right? Hurry up and ask someone to prepare a banquet, we will have a 'friend' coming soon, what does it look like without a meal greeting?" Jiang Ke suddenly ordered to James Go on: "By the way, please also help me to inform Serena and Feb."

"If this 'banquet' is missing the two of them, I'm afraid it won't be the same."

James remained kneeling on one knee without asking why.After hearing Jiang Ke's words, he just nodded silently, and then quickly backed out of the room.

The sunlight coming in directly from the glass window shone on Jiang Ke's cold face without a helmet, and she seemed to be talking to herself: "...It seems that I haven't seen Apate for a long time."

Perhaps thinking of something interesting, Jiang Ke almost smiled.But in the end she just pulled the corner of her mouth and said.

"I do kind of miss that ridiculous Feb mask on his face."

The author has something to say: Feb also wore a mask before, Apate is now imitating him and wearing a mask Orz
