Abnormal paradise

Is the war with Gensokyo over?

Yi Yan raised his eyebrows, looked at the date on the newspaper, did a simple arithmetic problem, and finally came to this conclusion.

The twenty-seven-year-old "I" should have fought to the end in the confrontation with Gensokyo. However, the war that lasted for more than four years ended, and "I" woke up in a prison-like room on the eve of the victory. In a strange room that looked like a fortress, the eldest brother Andersen's demeanor revealed that "I" was not in a very good state before. In other words, I may have withdrawn from the war early due to some changes.

Moreover, this change seems to have certain special characteristics. It is unlikely to be a simple discharge due to injury. Otherwise, the eldest brother Andersen would have told the whole story directly.

"Uh huh... combined with some of the previous doubts, this copy is really weird from the inside out."

Yi Yan shook his head, picked up the photo album and took a look at it again. The discovery of the numbers made him notice that his eldest brother Andersen was only three years older than Anduin, but his gray hair on the temples was at least four or five years older. ten.

Considering that Andersen has a 99% chance of possessing extraordinary strength and his physical condition is usually lower than his actual age, this makes Ember even more suspicious that something terrible must have happened to the two brothers.

"Be at peace with it as it comes. No matter how great the difficulties are, no matter how many doubts there are, there will always be a time when the clouds are cleared and the sun shines. But the premise of all this is to tap out all the potential of Anduin." Ember rubbed his hands. Standing in the open space next to the door, "But I'm really curious, what is it like to control light and darkness?"

But as soon as he stood still, Ember encountered a rather thorny problem. Before, all his skills could be directly activated through the skill panel or preset commands. Now he had nothing and could only start from scratch to explore and squeeze out experience. With his poor imagination and game knowledge, he started a dancing one-man show.

"Hey!"

"ha!"

"Guangming, listen to my orders!"

"Darkness, come to me!"

Fortunately, the eldest brother Andersen didn't see the ember, otherwise he would definitely think that the younger brother was in a coma.

He talked to himself in the air and made gestures for a long time, but Ember naturally found nothing. No, the only gain was that Anduin was not restricted by the physical strength bar. Then he decisively gave up the wise operation that wasted time, panted slightly and thought quietly: "The direction is reversed. We should start with the basics first. If an amnesia patient can control the situation just after waking up, Andersen will definitely not trust such a dangerous person to be alone."

Thinking of this, Ember began to run, jump and roll, comparing his own experience with the player character, which made him feel a little dazed. He remembered that when the server just opened, a group of people were testing various methods in the containment facility of the abnormal project [Brocade]. data situation.

"Last time I went back, I forgot to ask about Brocade's condition. I guess she must have been captured and taken back to a holding facility, right?"

Shaking his head, Ember suppressed his reverie, and quickly concluded that Anduin's physical condition should be far superior to ordinary people. At least all the difficult movements that Ember could think of could be achieved on Anduin, and he could resist The fighting ability is very good.

A punch hit the cold hard floor, and the stone tiles were obviously dented. However, Yi Yan only felt a slight pain, and there was no obvious damage to the edge of the fist. This made him nodded with satisfaction: "Very good basic conditions, agility and perception first." Not to mention, the strength is at least 11 or 12 points."

Boom, boom, boom!

At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door, and Yu Yan immediately saw that his eldest brother Andersen came in with a cut newspaper. He saw Yu Yan standing by the door, and said with concern: "You got up so early. ? I’ve just recovered, so it’s better to rest more. This is today’s newspaper, I brought it to you.”

"Yeah, I got it." Yi Yan glanced at the newspaper in Andersen's hand, and the date changed, and he immediately realized that the game time had passed by one day unknowingly.

Andersen gently placed the newspaper on the table and saw that his personal belongings had been turned over. He tried to ask Yuan Yan if he had recovered some memories. After receiving a negative reply, a look of sadness flashed in his eyes. Seeing this, Yuan Yan took advantage of the situation. Asked: "Did I encounter any accident during the battle with Gensokyo?"

"...Yes." Andersen paused, knowing that his brother would definitely guess this. After a moment of hesitation, he nodded.

clang!

Hearing this, Yi Yan's brain felt as if he had been hit hard by a hammer. Suddenly, his vision went dark. In his trance, he saw a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. A fist covered in flames hit him head-on. In the blink of an eye, Yi Yan returned. After thinking about it, he found himself lying on the hospital bed again. His eldest brother Andersen stood beside the bed with a guilty look on his face and blamed himself: "Even if you were aware of it, I shouldn't have let you confirm it so early."

Rubbing his head, Yi Yan forced himself to cheer up and continued to ask: "So can I still be considered a soldier now?"

Andersen didn't speak, just sighed, told Yi Yan to have a good rest, and then stood up and left. Yi Yan immediately got out of bed, picked up the newspaper and looked at it, and saw what was written on it.

"The special area of ​​the church will be open to the public, and a memorial ceremony will be held in the cathedral. The Pope will personally preside over it and pay homage to the souls of tens of thousands of heroes."

[I think we should go and see the scene...but what if we meet our comrades? 】

The text message that suddenly passed by gave Ember a clear goal. He knew that the memorial ceremony would be an important node in this copy. However, if he wanted to participate, he had to ask for the consent of his eldest brother Andersen, and the only way to get his consent was to prove himself. Strength was restored.

Baring his teeth, Yi Yan stretched out his right fist, and with a slight movement in his heart, flames surged out from it, covering the edges of his fist like armor.

This is a skill that appeared directly after Yi Yan woke up. He only knew that the name was [Fire Fist], and he knew nothing else about it. The activation method was as simple as normal, and it was not generally long-lasting. Yi Yan felt that if he wanted to, he could As a passive skill, it continues to function.

"Then the question is, why do I, a reality warper who manipulates light and darkness, have fire skills? Is this something I learned early on, or does it originate from the flame fist in the sea of ​​​​blood in the corpse mountain?"

Yi Jin felt that figuring out this problem would help restore his strength, so he took the initiative to knock on the door.

After a while, Yi Er pushed the door in and said to Ember: "Anduin, do you want to find Andersen? He is out on something. If you have any questions, you can tell me."

"Out? Can I ask where he is?"

Time is limited, and Yan Yan doesn’t want to miss any opportunity that may promote self-discovery.

"It's not impossible." Yi Er scratched his cheek, and seeing that Yi Yan's expression remained normal, he slowly said word by word, "The [Ancient Research Society] discovered an underground ruins, and I hope Andersen can provide help."

"Ancient Research Society?"

Seeing that there was no abnormal reaction from the ember, Yi Er was relieved and introduced to him: "The largest underground force in the Garden of Eden is composed of a group of researchers called "Ancient Scholars". They have a lot of historical information and mysterious treasures in the Garden of Eden. , are very powerful, but don’t worry, most of them are quite decent people.”

"The largest underground force in the Garden of Eden?" Yi Yan raised his brows and thought to himself, "Calculating time, the Ancient Research Society should be the largest organization before the Day Ghost, and according to the Creator's plan, this group of ancient scholars is expected to be wiped out. It’s a disaster, even if there are mostly good people inside.”

Thinking like this, Yi Yan asked casually: "Where are the ruins?"

"Factory area." Yi Er also said casually.

Neither he nor Ember thought this was such an important issue, but the accident happened just like that.

clang!

Come again?

After complaining, Yi Yan's eyes went dark again, and he vaguely saw a piece of crystal broken. The gray intertwined between light and darkness dispersed, but the broken crystals merged into the black field of vision.

Before Yi Yan could figure out the meaning of the picture, he woke up and found that Andersen had gone and returned. He was standing by the bed with Yi Er. Their expressions were more nervous than the other. When he saw Yi Yi wake up, he sighed heavily. He exhaled.

Snapped!

Yi Er gave himself a slap in the face and promised to Yi Yan and Andersen: "I will definitely control my mouth in the future! I almost got into trouble!"

"Just pay attention to yourself." Andersen shook his head helplessly and said, but then his pupils shrank because the fist raised by Ember ignited a raging fire.

"I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing. I'd better say more if I can." Ember revealed the fact that he mastered the fire fist. If he wanted to go to the prayer meeting, he had to prove it to Andersen.

"Anduin, have you recovered your memory?" Andersen was overjoyed, his lips trembling with an unstoppable smile.

"Unfortunately, no." Yu Yan said truthfully, pouring cold water on Andersen. "I just vaguely remembered a certain scene after hearing about the factory, and then naturally mastered this ability, so I think it's okay More communication about the Garden of Eden, and more complete newspapers and books would do the trick.”

"But your spirit cannot bear the frequent coma."

After the surprise, Andersen regained his composure and said earnestly to Ember: "I very much hope that you can find yourself again as soon as possible, but for safety reasons, the time must be extended. Don't worry, I am very safe here, and the recuperation time is absolutely sufficient. Today's I’ll keep the newspaper for now, and I’ll show it to you after I’ve recovered a bit.”

"All right."

Yi Yan also knew that he could not withstand the third mental shock in a short period of time, so he did not stop Andersen and Yi Er from leaving, and continued to lie in bed to study the result of this coma - a simplified version of the character panel.

…

Name: [Anduin] (weak/all attributes halved)

Level: 50

Identity: unknown

Basic attributes: HP 5000, Sanity 300/5000

Core attributes: Life level 16, Will level 16

Important attributes: Strength level 11, Agility level 11, Perception level 11

Common skills: [Fire Fist]

Talent skills: [Simulation], [Adaptation]

Introduction: An error occurred. There is no relevant information about the current character in the database.

[Tip: It will take another five minutes for your will to recover. It is recommended to increase your will level and sanity limit to avoid potential dangers caused by frequent coma. 】

…

"Anduin reached the fourth level at the age of twenty-three, and then enlisted in the army. Now he has reached the peak of legend at the age of twenty-seven. This speed is by no means slow even among the geniuses in the paradise world, but the problem is, Why are the attributes so average, and why is there no character information in the database?"

Yi Yan kept the two doubts in mind, and then began to study the sudden appearance of the talent skills [Simulation] and [Adaptation], and then concluded that learning the Fire Fist was due to the former, and releasing the Fire Fist was due to the latter.

This conclusion made Ember grit his teeth and thought to himself: "Although the skill style is indeed very suitable for Anduin, I still hope to change my name and copy Ninja Kakashi... Forget it, there is no point in worrying about this, I still want to How do you want to improve your will and reason? This should be the key to participating in the prayer ceremony, but some of the methods I usually use are of no use now."

There are no free attribute points, and attribute points cannot be refined. If you want to improve your will, you can only obtain rare character marks, or master special abilities that change your essence.

It is easy to say that increasing the upper limit of sanity is just a matter of equipping an accessory, but due to the core attributes, the sanity value that can be increased is only a few hundred points, which does not quench the thirst at all.

After thinking for a while, Yi Yan felt that the breakthrough had to be Andersen and Yi Er, so he took the initiative to knock on the door again.

He wasn't worried that the two of them would get bored. If he put his five minutes outside, who knew how long it would take?

Sure enough, Andersen and One Ear pushed the door open immediately, and Yi Yan asked as soon as he came up: "Have you and the ancient scholars finished exploring the underground ruins of the factory? Brother..."

The last shout of Big Brother was very difficult to pronounce, but Andersen was very happy to hear it and answered the question directly: "It went very well. A mysterious coffin was found in the ruins. After overnight excavation, it was sent to the Ancient Research Association in the morning. Over there.”

"Is it about the morning? Calculated, it takes at most twenty minutes a day. If you are unconscious frequently, you may have to discount it."

After Ember had figured it out, he proposed his own ideas to the two of them, learning abilities that could increase will and reason, and even shamelessly asked for accessories.

Regarding the rejection that he was likely to get, Yan Yan was not worried at all. A total of three chances to make a bet gave him the basic conditions to hit the wall. If he could gain something, that would undoubtedly be the best. If things went against his expectations, he would remember to avoid it.

However, perhaps because Ember spoke to Andersen's heart like a big brother, he took the initiative to teach the meditation method to improve his will and reason.

"I can feel that my latent memory has been touched. I believe that I will find the lost things soon." Yi Yan glanced at the additional meditation skills on the panel and asked Andersen, "Brother, if I want to participate What conditions are needed for a prayer ceremony in the church area?”

"I advise you not to be so impatient."

"But my instinct tells me that this is very important to me, brother!"

Yan Yan had a serious look on his face, which made Andersen quite moved. He sighed and said slowly: "On the morning of the prayer, I will read you a newspaper. If you can hold on, just follow me. "

[The content in the newspaper is very important. I must seize the time to meditate and practice, but how much willpower does it take to fight against coma? Is thirty o'clock enough? 】

The text message that suddenly floated by made Yi Yan remember this number. Although even "I" was full of doubts, it obviously had a guiding role.

So, Yi Yan began to practice meditation patiently. For half an hour, he endured the boring work without deserting, until Andersen appeared in front of him holding a newspaper, and stood beside him with an extremely concerned look. Come look.

"Is the time up?" Yi Yan asked quietly. He didn't waste the thirty minutes at all. The result was that his will broke through thirty points and his sanity increased to about ten thousand.

"Well, if you still insist on going to the Great Cathedral."

"I will not give up."

"Well, I hope you can be mentally prepared."

Andersen sighed with regret, and then he pulled out a newspaper. When Yi Yan took a closer look, he found that the entire page was filled with tiny details, recording the names of those killed in battle, and "Anduin" was at the front because of the order!

"Major Special Operations Commander - Anduin, died in the fantasy airspace at the age of twenty-six!"

clang!

The Hammer of Will struck as scheduled, but this time, it only caused 3,000 points of sanity loss to Ember, doubling the level of will, allowing Ember to withstand the blow very easily.

"As expected, I am indeed dead, but why do I feel like I am being killed?"

Not only Ember thought so, but also the text messages that often appeared. Both of them felt that the list of those killed in battle did not record the true situation. Anduin was probably not dead, but encountered some problems and was removed from the army or simply died. Disappear from the world.

However, when Ember put forward such an idea with a relaxed expression, Andersen seemed to have made a difficult decision and gritted his teeth and said to him: "No, this list is not forged, Anduin, my brother, you are indeed He died in the Fantasy Space, and his heart was broken by a strong fire fist from Fantasy Township."

What?

【What? 】

Hearing this, Yi Yan's pupils suddenly shrank, and he immediately suffered another blow from the hammer of will.

clang! !

This time, the remaining 7,000 points of sanity level suddenly bottomed out. However, thanks to Ember's perseverance, there was still something left. With stars in his eyes, he persevered and finally made it to the Great Holy Cathedral. The chance to attend your own funeral…
