Star Trace Gate

Under the dazzling light, the chip mask was slowly removed from his cheek, revealing the true face of the man in the white robe.

Not far away, Old Liu had a blank look in his eyes with a frozen expression.

It turned out to be...her?

"I told you, we'll meet again if we're destined to." The white-robed doorman smiled and said, "In the first twenty days, you proved your character; in the last night, you showed your wisdom and courage. You passed the test here and were recognized by the Stone of Life. So, you are the one who defied fate and changed your destiny."

In the empty hall, Old Liu stared blankly at the white-robed doorman, looking a little dazed.

She was none other than the fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl who had been "living together" with him in the small safe house for some time.

With just one look at her, many details that puzzled Lao Liu were instantly solved.

She had said before that she appeared at the SS-level star gate "accidentally" because she was completing a continuity mission.

However, when the player enters the star gate, there will be very straightforward danger level prompts, such as death mechanisms, etc., but she has no combat power at all. Knowing that it is so dangerous here, why does she come here?

The competition mechanism of eighty people, isn't she afraid of death? Don't tell me, she is already fourteen or fifteen years old, and she still can't understand the reminder of the star gate...

Also, after being raped by Wang Dong and others, this little girl asked for help from almost every player, wanting them to rescue her, but everyone chose not to see it; or they saw it but did not dare to rescue her.

Wang Dong's spies were everywhere in the safe house, upstairs and downstairs. Her pleading only resulted in even more cruel treatment from Wang Dong, but she still insisted on doing it.

The most important point is the "alarm" prop.

When Lao Liu first got this prop, he thought it was useless, because if you used it, it would mean you would face arrest by law enforcement officers and be in a very dangerous situation.

But after he rescued the little girl, the subsequent reward of this alarm prop turned out to be a separate safe house. It was like a pillow when you are sleepy, everything was arranged...

At that time, Lao Liu was still sighing, thinking that this star gate was too much of a test of human nature. Because if you use the alarm, it means that you must have fallen out with other players. And after calling the police, you will be given a safe house. This setting echoes the previous and the next, and has a bit of "philosophical" meaning.

But now that I think about it, this is bullshit philosophy.

There was a safe house after calling the police. That should be because she saved the little girl, who was the menace, so she forced herself to open a safe house. It should have little to do with calling the police.

In short, if you didn't save her, there would be no safe house. In the end, even if you were not killed by Wang Dong and others, you would have been caught by law enforcement officers.

When Old Liu thought of this, his hair stood on end.

But there were many details that he didn't notice, for example, after he left the small safe house, a player was instantly reduced in the star gate.

why?

Because the time is almost up, Menyan has to go back to preside over the change of fate.

Also, the little girl's pitiful appearance is only shown in front of soft-hearted players. When she is alone, her face shows no sadness or joy, as she is recalling every player's attitude towards her.

When she was in contact with Lao Liu, she never begged him to give her some food. She would eat if he gave her food, and would refuse if he didn't. This kind of calmness was somewhat unreasonable for a 14 or 15-year-old girl.

In the bright casino hall, Lao Liu suddenly felt a sense of sadness as if his IQ had been crushed: "...you are not a player. Haha...your acting is so realistic that I didn't notice it at all. Just now, I was still worried...I didn't know if you had left or not."

"Before the Migration Zone series of star gates were opened, many players also came here to travel. That was a long, long time ago." She walked down the stairs, staring at Lao Liu: "The process is similar. In an extreme environment, you are the first person who chose to save me, and the first one who bought food and gave it to me first. It is not shameful to save yourself first in a desperate situation; but having good intentions and taking action must be precious. So, this may be the reason why the Stone of Life chose you."

"You are playing with human nature, it's not real." Old Liu looked at him and shook his head.

"No, this is the truth." The white-robed guard shook his head. "When there is no pressure to survive and everything is in order, who can see clearly whether people's hearts are black or white? The way of heaven can't, the stone of life can't, and neither can I. You must remember that the environment is not the reason for your depravity or nobility. What kind of person you are is clearly visible here. There is no need to argue, it is meaningless."

Having said this, the two were silent for a while.

Old Liu blinked and asked a classic question: "So, in order to test human nature, you can even sacrifice your own integrity? Forced to cater to Wang Dong? You... this...!"

The white-robed doorman smiled, pointed at a group of dealers in the bright corridor, and said calmly: "I am invisible here, just like them."

As she spoke, she raised her hand and waved, and seven or eight dealers disappeared instantly, as if they had never appeared.

With another wave of his hand, a gambling table turned into a chair, and then into a dog, running in the hall, wagging its tail.

When it ran to the door, it turned into the appearance of a little girl of about fourteen or fifteen years old, lifelike and pitiful.

When Old Liu saw this scene, his hair stood on end: "So, Wang Dong... is screwed? Art really comes from life."

The white robe ignored him: "My mission ends here."

"...Alas, you deceived my feelings." Old Liu blinked his eyes and asked unwillingly, "I'm really curious, are you a man or a woman?"

"I am life!"

"Brother, are you a man or a woman?" Lao Liu insisted.

"......!" The white-robed guard was speechless for a long time: "According to your perception, I am a woman."

Old Liu breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that his worldview had been preserved. He could not accept that the person he risked his life to save was a chair or a table.

"Do you want to enter the Temple of Life?"

"Yes." Old Liu thought for a moment and replied.

"go!"

Ming raised his hand and waved it, and the surrounding scene changed and distorted rapidly.

After the cold and darkness, the two of them appeared together in front of the door of an abandoned temple.

The huge palace had collapsed long ago, and there were ruins everywhere around it. Among the broken walls, huge grey stones were shattered, showing a dilapidated look and were buried in dust.

Traces of time fill every inch of land, and I don’t know how long it has been since anyone has been here.

Ming led the way in front, and Lao Liu followed closely.

The two walked through the ruins for a long time before they came to a dried-up pool. It was half covered by ruins, and the surrounding originally exquisite and quaint buildings had also collapsed.

Ming stood beside the pool and said softly, "Shi Ye Ming Ye, you should have received the inheritance of the gods."

"??!"

Old Liu was stunned when he heard this: "What do you mean?"

"The Day Star is connected to the Star Gate, so it was invaded. What happened there was too long ago, so I don't know." Ming said softly, "However, after the giants were invaded, a young demigod took the giants' most precious treasure, the Stone of Life, and escaped from their homeland. He also controlled the Eternal Night Divine Ship, and it took him countless years to reach the migration site."

Old Liu listened quietly.

"The Migration Land was once extremely glorious, embracing all rivers and welcoming visitors from all directions." Ming continued, "After the giant demigod came here, she was not rejected by the civilization of the Migration Land. She chose to live here for a long time and built the Temple of Life to enshrine the Stone of Life. If... nothing unexpected happened, she would have been promoted to the status of a god. If she had been promoted, what you are facing now is the inheritance left by the gods. But unfortunately...!"

"What's a pity?"

"The migration site also suffered a great change and was invaded by the unknown." Ming turned his head and looked at Lao Liu: "She believed that this was her second homeland and could not accept that it had become a ruin. So, she died in the dirty land."

Old Liu was speechless for a long time, then immediately asked, "What happened to the migration area?"

“I don’t know either.” Ming shook his head. “It was only after she died in battle that I gained spiritual wisdom over the long years. I first became a remnant soul, then became an enlightened being, and became the gatekeeper here.”

“Died in battle…!”

For some reason, Lao Liu felt a sense of sadness when he looked at the ruins around him.

"Your chance has come. Sacrifice the Stone of Life and this abandoned temple will be your star gate." Life reminded.

Old Liu was silent for a long time, and suddenly bowed towards the pool.

"brush!"

A colorful stone flew out from between his eyebrows.

"boom!"

The star source waves were surging violently, and Lao Liu heard an ancient voice coming from his ears.

"From today on, you are the last bloodline of the Day Star Giants."

The sound faded away, and the Star Gate reminder sounded.

[You have obtained the inheritance of the Light Occupation - the Fallen Giant. Do you agree to accept the inheritance? ]

"agree!"

Old Liu nodded.

[You have been given a stage title - Night Security Guard. ]

[Once there was a famous demon monk in the Migration Land, who took advantage of the demigod Awu rushing to the dirty land and wanted to steal the Stone of Life. The professional security guard here fought with him and eventually died under the finger of Samsara. I hope you can inherit its kindness, loyalty, and all noble qualities, and restore the glory of the giants. ]

"...!"

A cold voice whispered in Lao Liu's ears. His body was stiff and his eyes were closed, as if he was in a trance.

But in his mind, he saw a majestic palace...

……

The Star Gate of Suzaku City.

Ren Ye looked at Huang Wei and asked incredulously, "You mean, Tang Feng... hasn't come out yet?"

"Yes!"

Huang shook his head helplessly: "The person is completely lost, and there is no news of whether he is dead or alive! It has been so many days... If you change to a strong woman, the child will be born."

Ren Ye rested his chin on his hand and said, "What kind of people are these that I know? They just disappear at any time... Who can stand this?"
