Chapter 18: A Two-Way Run
Chapter 18 Running in Both Directions
The cellar was quiet.
Ciara was observing the newborn skeletons.
Heine was listening to the cross-examination of the two men.
Mr. Summer: “Hey buddy, what district are you from?”
Catch the Goat: “Friend, did you cross over from AGE too?”
“Crossing over? Are you kidding me ……”
The new skeleton froze and turned his head, lifting his hand to look at it and then back to Heine in front of him.
“Are you the one talking to me? How come you’re a human and I’m a skeleton? Where do I get this skin? Is this the production team’s neat program? Wait, where is my system? Where’s my log? Where is my logout button?”
Mr. Xia: “Don’t worry, man, you must stop moving, we’re unconscious skeletons now, don’t expose yourself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“What?!!”
Catch the Goat: “Can you imagine a refrigerator throwing expired food out by itself? We’re the refrigerator now, let’s pretend we’re not too intelligent first, trust me, we’re both old players!”
The two tried their best to persuade, but the new skeleton obviously didn’t listen much.
Heine hastily tightened the restraints to prevent him from moving again.
But its unconscious behavior still made Hiara frown.
“Heine, I have reservations about your opinion. Although its soulfire is also calm, its behavior is clearly uncontrolled, which is dangerous!”
“I was the one who didn’t tighten the bindings just now ……”
“That’s what matters!” Ciara looked at him seriously, “If the undead will only behave under your restraints, then it’s a substandard undead, and no one has ever reminded you of that before!”
Heine said helplessly, “Fine.”
It was true that no one had reminded him of this before, since he had gotten a zero in his summoning course.
“…… Sorry, my tone may have been overly harsh.”
Ciara’s hand rested on Heine’s shoulder.
“I know that you’ve actually been very concerned about this in the past, and while things are better now, I don’t want you to get carried away …… Make sure you protect yourself, okay?”
“Okay, Ms. Hiara.”
Heine smiled, “The summoning is over, let’s go up and talk.”
“Uh-huh.”
The two then left the cellar with the three skeletons.
Ciara had prepared dinner, and although Heine wasn’t hungry, he had to be at a time like this.
The three undead were on guard in the courtyard, and Heine listened to the conversations in the courtyard as he chatted with Chiara.
The new skeleton had accepted the fate of crossing over under the persuasion of Goat and Mr. Xia, and was confessing where he came from.
“I’m a hunter player from the subzone called ‘Thanatos’.”
Mr. Xia: “Thanatos? Isn’t that the name of the god of the underworld? Are you also a Sa General?”
Mr. Sa smiles a little awkwardly:
“Yes, that’s what my friends call me too. I applied to the internal beta account before and knew some of the plot, so I grabbed this ID after the public beta.”
Catch the Goat interjected, “I remember when I was opening up the Tilted King’s Palace, there was a dude named Bedwyr who was flashed and killed by the Mad King just as soon as he showed his head, dying from the first hate lock of his name.”
“No problem, I just stepped into the Underworld Warzone and was seconded by Lady Mourning.” Mr. Sa laughed bitterly, “Skyfall Spectral Strike, I also heard the voice egg was ‘what kind of gryphon dares to share the same name as my lord’, damn I’m a hunter, I died without triggering Loyal Servant Guardian ……”
Mr. Xia was shocked at his words, “You just entered the warzone and got seconded? But I remember that everyone didn’t pass in at the same time? Could you be the second batch that came later?
“What second batch, I’m the advance guard.”
Teacher Xia: “Did the main force cross the Duling River when you were seconded?”
“How can that be, just arrived at the Necrotic Wilderness ah, the Blasphemy River takes at least four days to travel, right?”
Catch the sheep also shocked: “But the two of us died on the battlefield on the fourth day …… We were the first to cross the river, killed Eris, and were going through the plot of Lady Mournful, and were killed by a plot of one of her unreasonable Mournful Cries …… “
“Huh?”
All three fell into silence, and Heine, who was eating, followed in contemplation.
An interesting thing appeared ……
It was clear that four days had passed on this side, and the undead he had summoned actually came from four days ago in that world?
One side was moving forward and the other was moving backward, were the two worlds going to run in both directions?
But that’s the game… ……
The three checked the time again, and it matched Heine’s guess.
Mr. Xia: “If we follow this time, one side going forward and one side going backward, will Heine’s future summon the munchkin who died at the hands of a wild monster in the opening service ……”
Catching Sheep: “I’m more curious about the middle node, is it hard for the two worlds to connect after running in both directions?”
“What are you thinking, that’s a game, there is modeling and air walls and anti-harmony, and the NPCs aren’t as real as in this world.”
“That’s true.” This mysterious topic made the three of them silent again for a while, and finally, Mr. Sa broke the silence.
“Speaking of which, what’s going to happen from now on? When are you guys going to do it?”
“Make a move? Do what?”
“Of course, we’re going to fuck him up and share the luggage, we can’t be someone’s undead servant for the rest of our lives, right?”
……
Heine’s hand on the spoon suddenly froze.
“What’s wrong? Tired?” Ciara said with concern.
“I was just thinking about those things this afternoon and how I almost didn’t get to see you.”
Ciara pursed her lips and smiled, ripples in her eyes.
……
Mr. Summer: “It’s a good thing he couldn’t hear what we were talking about, or you’d have turned to bone dust.”
Mr. Sa is stunned, “That’s not what you guys think?”
“Rationally analyzing a wave haha, there are several issues involved.” Catching sheep replied, “First of all, the current is the opening plot, here soon to be holy light wash, we away from him is basically a dead end, everyone shouted, encountered Gao Wen this kind of one foot dedication we brother three will all be scalded to death ……
“Then there is the form of existence.
“We are not sure what we are for the time being, a shadowy soul? Wandering souls? English souls? If it’s a nether soul, it’s okay, big deal, we’ll have to switch to a witch demon. But if it’s the latter two, we’ll have to be recalled by the Underworld as soon as we’ve done away with the Summoner, what if what we go back to then isn’t the game, but the real Underworld?”
The two instantly remembered all the things in the Underworld.
The Slender Soul of the Blasphemous River, the Suffering Soul that hangs from a tree as a streetlamp, and the Feasting Soul that serves Eris as a snack, etc…….
Even the English souls had their wills twisted to have to make enemies of their former guardian objects.
That’s the real purgatory scene.
The reason why the Underworld was not accepted by the Shadow Sanctuary was because it violated the cycle of life and death, forcibly enslaving the dead to maintain its own system.
“Lastly, and what I personally care about. As of right now, Heine is far beyond the average NPC in terms of enlightenment, ability, and talent, not to mention the opening of the service, even later on, I haven’t seen a few like him, I strongly suspect that he is the ‘Son of Heaven’s Destiny’.”
Mr. Sa: “What? The son of heavenly destiny?”
“Yes.” Sheep Catchers smiled, “You two don’t look much like plot readers, so let me explain. I just thought about it, the midpoint of the plot from the opening of the service to the Underworld Expeditionary Army happens to be the time when Seion was sealed by the four camps joining forces, and the earth was completely tied to the chariot of the gods, don’t you guys think that’s subtle?”
Not to mention the two, even Heine found it subtle.
Although he didn’t know much about the higher powers of this world, he knew about this person, Seion.
The Sage of Salvation, Sebitiga.
Even the small children of Ebony Town knew that Sebitiga had stolen elemental, shadow, holy light, and other transcendent powers for humanity.
Heine originally thought that this Prometheus-like character was just a fabrication, but he didn’t realize that it was actually true ……
And he would be targeted by the gods afterward?
That does sound quite bluffing.
But he was also very vain, because he knew clearly that he was not a son of heavenly destiny at all ……
He is also a traveler ah!
It was only that he was lucky enough to wear a person.
A large part of the enlightenment he currently displayed came from eavesdropping on the two discussing the plot …… Who wouldn’t be able to copy the answers!
Teacher Xia: ”It does seem quite subtle when you put it that way. Maybe he’s the savior that Seyon has ordained, and we crossed over to have him develop an IF line.”
“That’s probably what it means, that’s why I think it’s better to follow him to get a better development, taking a step back, even if you want to jump against him, now isn’t the best time.”
“But Goat, look.”
Mr. Sa followed suit and called out to Brother Goat.
“Is it possible that the people we players are following have mailed it?
“Our birthplace is the mountains of Makara, mail.
“Then follow the suspected protagonist, Eli Monte, the son of the wind, and mail.
“Then followed Renee, the Third Queen of the Elves, by mail, and half of Cuirassetia by mail.
“Then came Ignacio, Archbishop of the Eternal Dawn, sent, and the Eternal Dawn split up, and half of them went into the book.
“Finally is Seion, this is the most miserable, in the front foot after receiving the buff, in the back foot he mailed.
“We seem to be finished with whoever ah ……”
