The Trial Game of Life

"Why was the mouse chosen? Because he can read minds?"

"Not only that, mice with mind reading skills were actually very unpopular at first. No one wants to expose their inner voice to others' ears all the time, especially in Eternal Night City, where everyone has secrets. That kind of The feeling is extremely bad, so even if mind reading is a very powerful skill, no one wants to be friends with the mouse. And he is very weak, none of his skills are ultimate moves, if it is not for mind reading, he would have died a long time ago."

Hearing this, Zhang San sighed again: "But it's the mind-reading skills that make people reject him, isn't it?"

K: "So when he first started downloading dungeons, he always concealed the existence of this skill, and performed like a funny clown to please others. But no one likes him, they think he is pompous and unreal, weak and Heaviness, even if he is smiling at him on the surface, the voice in his heart will not lie. Over time, the lonely mouse closed himself up, and he painted himself layer after layer of oil paint, even covering his true appearance , until one day, he acquired a new skill—the Wheel of Light."

Zhang San: "Is that the skill like the sun?"

"That's right." K snapped his fingers, "The three elements to become King Ming are—mind reading skills, the wheel of light, and his weakness."

In the underground palace, the mouse was also explaining to everyone, "Wheel of Light, this is another innocuous skill. Under the sunshine, all killings are prohibited. It gave the entire Eternal Night City light and hope, but it also made the entire city of Eternal Night shine. I was lifted up to the sky like a puppet."

"At the beginning, I also thought this was a good start. They needed me and Eternal Night City needed me. I thought this was the meaning of my existence. All the previous setbacks were tempering me. This is what they told me .”

There were bursts of thunder, but it was dull thunder, as if it was rolling in the dark clouds and did not strike.The system was warning the mouse not to talk too much about Evernight City, but he was immersed in his own memories and couldn't extricate himself.

"They needed me to be such a puppet, but they hated me and were afraid that I would see through their hearts, so they put me up there and isolated them. So in the end I found that I was still alone, and everyone in Evernight City I kowtow to me, and even regularly select loyal believers to confess to me, so as to consolidate the rule of the city of bliss, but no one can listen to me."

"I've heard so many people's suffering that it leaves me breathless. I want to escape but I'm too weak to escape and I don't know where to go."

The mouse folded his hands on his neck, his eyes were confused, as if he was really out of breath, "The city of Elysium scares me more and more, every day people disappear in places where the sun doesn't shine, I don't know them Where did I go...Maybe I accidentally heard it, but I dare not say, I just forgot..."

"In order to escape, I wrote "The Paradise Project", and I am always looking forward to someone coming to save me..."

Having said that, his voice gradually quieted down, as if he was still the mouse that yearned for redemption, waiting for a miracle to appear.

Tang Cuo asked him, "Have you waited for the gods?"

"Yeah." The mouse sighed, and slowly put down his hand on his neck, covering his heart. "On the day when the sun went down, He appeared. I've never felt such warmth before, it made me feel extremely Don't worry, but—"

His eyes suddenly turned cold, "But just because I accidentally heard Mr. Crow's name, I was punished by him. He deprived me of everything and turned me from a puppet into another puppet."

"So you want to kill him too?" Tang Cuo said.

"He is no longer worthy of standing beside the gods. He has been corrupted by emotions and desires, and has become no different from ordinary people." The mouse looked straight into Tang Cuo's eyes, as if he wanted to get affirmation from him, "Maybe I heard that name It is the arrangement of fate, the gods have already rejected him, so he never appeared in Eternal Night City again. After killing Mr. Crow, he will definitely come back again."

madman.

Fanatics.

After listening to the mouse, these words immediately came to Chi Yan's mind, otherwise he wouldn't know how to describe this person.Chi Yan is a staunch atheist. Although gods do exist, they exist as long as they exist, and it does not prevent him from having his own beliefs.

"Is what you think really what the gods think?" Tang Cuo asked Chi Yan's doubts, he poked his head out from behind Tang Cuo, and added: "Maybe this is your imagination? "

"You don't believe me?" The mouse's tone became anxious, "Kill Mr. Crow, and you will be the masters of Eternal Night City, okay? You are all good people, and you must be better than those people back then. I just want to If you want him to come back, I will not hinder you."

Tang Cuo didn't answer, and the mouse couldn't hear any voice from his silent heart, he was a little disappointed.Zheng Yingying walked silently to a distance of three or four meters behind him, looked at him, Tang Cuo and Chi Yan, and said nothing while holding the dagger.

She didn't care who the mouse turned to, and Tang Cuo didn't seem to want to accept the mouse's invitation to cooperate.

"In that case, I have nothing to say." The mouse's eyes dimmed, and he took a step back and said, "The Wheel of Light forbids all killing, we can't beat you, but you can't kill us, so let us go, how about that? "

Hearing this, Tang Cuo looked at Zheng Yingying, "Ask you again, do you want to go with him?"

Zheng Yingying looked at Tang Cuo, and answered the wrong question: "Mr. Crow's name is Ah Wu."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and left, neither waiting for the mouse nor Tang Cuo to speak again, nor looking at Chi Yan again, she walked crisply, resolutely and decisively.

Chi Yan looked at her back, her nose was sore, and her mood began to surge again.

Immediately afterwards, the mouse turned and left, and when their figures completely disappeared from sight, the red sun above their heads also gradually faded away, and the surroundings returned to calm.Chi Yan relaxed, raised his hand to wipe away the tears on his face, and hurriedly told Tang Cuo everything that happened along the way and what he and Zheng Yingying said.

Rong Yi was also listening. He had been silent since just now, because he didn't know as much about Zheng Yingying or about mice as Tang Cuo did. He didn't speak in order not to disturb Tang Cuo's rhythm.

But he had a doubt, "Why didn't you agree to the mouse? Wouldn't it be better to stabilize him first and break up the alliance between him and Yan Yun?"

"It's not that simple." Tang Cuo shook his head.About the City of Elysium, the mouse didn't go into details just now, only Tang Cuo and Jin Cheng knew the general situation.

When the mouse told them, he only said that he was an inconspicuous little person in a big era.That appearance didn't seem to be lying, maybe it was just that the memory hadn't fully recovered, but at that time Tang Cuo felt a sense of disobedience from him, so when Jin Cheng asked him if he believed it, he said——

Is he really unknown in the City of Elysium, is he a small person?

Facts have proved that Tang Cuo's suspicion is correct, the mouse is King Ming.

Today, the mouse's memory recovered, and it also told them the truth, without seeming to hide anything.He wanted to impress Tang Cuo with this frankness, but was what he said the whole truth?

If the mouse is King Ming, he is so weak and unable to save himself, then who destroyed the City of Ultimate Bliss in the end?Why does the sun go down?That is, why did King Ming "die"?

Since he was so honest, why did Du Duo hide this crucial plot?

Tang Cuo expressed his doubts, and said: "The mouse's city mansion may not be very deep, otherwise he would not have exposed King Ming's identity so quickly, and even wooed me in front of Zheng Yingying. If Yan Yun found out, he would It's not flattering. His doing this shows that he doesn't want to see Yan Yun, a blasphemer."

Chi Yan's eyes lighted up slightly, "Yes, Yan Yun almost killed God! The mouse is awake now, and he might have a fight with him when he turns around!"

"So why don't you just kick him back?" Rong Yi cleared his mind, and there was a wry smile on his lips, "Just now you let him go without asking him about Yan Yun and Mr. Crow. ?It is indeed better to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and pass the risk on, than to cooperate with a not-so-smart fanatic.”

Tang Cuo: "You still don't understand one thing."

Rong Yi: "What?"

Tang Cuo: "I never said I wanted to kill K. Jin Cheng and I have always had a clear goal: Movement No. [-]."

Rong Yi was slightly taken aback, then laughed.That's right, they were so confused by the twists and turns. Killing Mr. Crow was a matter between Yan Yun and the mouse. Why did they have to take the matter on themselves?

K assigned them to a dungeon to do things, are they going to follow suit?They didn't kill K, but they weren't K's thugs either.

"One more thing." Tang Cuo said again.

"What?" Rong Yi and Chi Yan said in unison, and they couldn't think of any omissions.But at this moment, Tang Cuo suddenly leaned over and spat out a mouthful of blood while propping up his sword.

"Brother!" Chi Yan was frightened to death.

"The most important point." Although Tang Cuo vomited blood, his face was not pale at all, and he even looked radiant.He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth casually, and said: "Louis XIV may formally recover at any time, I don't have much time left, I don't have time to play Infernal Affairs with them."

In fact, when Tang Cuo was fighting against the Rose Sect, or even talking to the mouse and Rong Yi, he was splitting his mind.While dealing with Louis XIV, he was doing his own thing.

Louis XIV was very curious about what they said. What about Evernight City and Mr. Crow, they seem to come from another different world, and there are gods in that world.He couldn't wait to know the whole truth from Tang Cuo's mouth, what the "truth of the world" is.

It was impossible for Tang Cuo to say it easily, because this was a bargaining chip he used to delay time.But who is Louis XIV, a generation of tyrants, who will not tolerate Tang Cuo's disobedience again and again and challenge his authority.

"The chatting game is over, my child." Louis XIV's voice showed a trace of regret, "Say hello to Nightingale for me."

As soon as the words fell, a soul-tearing pain hit Tang Cuo's brain directly, giving him the illusion that his entire spine and even the top of the sky were torn apart alive. His whole body was dripping with cold sweat, his eyes darkened, and he almost fell to the ground.

Chi Yan quickly supported him with his eyes and hands, his worry was palpable, "Brother, are you okay? Don't scare me?"

"It's okay." Tang Cuo took a deep breath.The sedative has been used up, and he can only bear it now, but his soul strength is so powerful that even Jin Cheng has admired it, and for this last link, he added all the points obtained from the previous dungeons including the celebration to " Intelligence" column.

The three powers of Eternal Night City are force, intelligence, and charm. Intelligence corresponds to spiritual power.

Louis XIV?Now it is just a remnant soul.

"Huh?" The blow failed, and Louis XIV found that Tang Cuo was still alive and kicking, and he couldn't help showing a little surprise in his identity.

Tang Cuo ignored it and asked Chi Yan directly: "Where is Little Jack?"

Hearing Little Jack's name suddenly, Chi Yan was stunned for a moment, then turned around, and just met the eyes of Little Jack who poked his head out of the trench behind him, "Hey, it's right here!"

Tang Cuo breathed a sigh of relief, and turned his head to look at Rong Yi. Because he had to mobilize all his mental strength to deal with Louis XIV, his words became extremely brief.

"I'll take the branch line, and I'll leave it to you here."

At the same time, Mouse and Zheng Yingying, who had left the Well of Time, were standing in a place where no one was talking.The mouse's expression was a little tense, and he said, "You told Tang Cuo the name of Ah Wu in the end, because you want to repay his kindness?"

Zheng Yingying did not answer.

Mouse: "I won't tell Yan Yun about this, so you have to keep silent about what happened just now."

"As I said, no matter who kills Mr. Crow, it's all the same to me." After a pause, Zheng Yingying added: "Even if you kill Yan Yun together in the end, that's none of my business. .”

The author has something to say:

Tang Cuo: No appointment.

Zheng Yingying: None of my business.

Mouse: Only God loves me.

Yan Yun: It's too difficult for me.
