The Uncanny Valley Travel Guide

Wen Zheliu said unexpectedly: "You have a name?"

Then he felt a strange illusion, as if it had been a long time ago, and he had heard this name a long time ago... Abel is Cain's younger brother, a devout believer in the gods, and the first murdered person in the world... Then what?Where else had he heard Abel's name?

Flashes of memories flashed across his mind, and Wen Zheliu would never forget any key things. The ancient place names flew out of his mouth: "Arlington! You...is that you? Impossible, how could it be?" It's you?!"

Arlington, the priest who witnessed everything, and the author of "Records of the Small Town", he heard the whole process of Teresa's murder and saw Jenny's tragic death. He felt that it was a lost place where faith was useless, so he left overnight. There.Now he said, his name is Abel?

In a trance, he seemed to see the red thousand-year-old giant snake slowly circling in the void, crossing the long and high obstacles like mountains and seas, passing through the endless cycle of life and death in the world, and finally caught his own tail.

Du Zijun and Xie Yuanyuan also remembered it all at once, their expressions changed suddenly, and they stared at the monk...or Abel's face.

"You have developed wisdom, you want to trace your origin, you want to find a way to break the deadlock...and you ended up with this name," He Qin said, "You really don't regret it?"

This is the second time he asked Abel if he regretted it, like a salesman in a real estate agency facing a customer who is determined to buy a haunted house, or a croupier at a poker table making the final confirmation to a gambler who bet all his net worth in one go .

"Yes," Abel nodded, "this is my choice."

He Qin's golden pupils were shining brightly, and he was silent a lot tonight.

"You are also someone who loves you in your heart." Abel smiled and said to him, "You should understand my choice, right?"

He Qin didn't smile, and there was no smile in those romantic eyes either. He replied in a low voice: "Yes, I can understand. But after all, people adopt different methods. My blade can be broken, but it will never be broken. Can bend, so even if he wants to turn the world upside down, I'm afraid I can only go forward and help the evildoers."

Wen Zheliu was stunned: "Brother?"

Abel laughed deeply, bowed according to Japanese etiquette, and said, "I understand. It's already so late, so I won't disturb your rest."

Du Zijun stood up: "Okay, I'll take you to Xiao Shanguang's place, Shengzi will be back tomorrow morning, you pay attention."

Abel left, and the solemn silence still echoed in the room. Wen Zheliu asked, "What...what is going on? Is this the name he gave himself?"

He Qin said two words: "Compensation."

"Compensation?" Xie Yuanyuan looked at him in confusion, and immediately realized, "What is he going to pay for the Holy Nun, her sins? Or the result of her trial after the human victory?"

"Compensate her for everything." He Qin said, "He used a promise to become the accomplice of the Holy Nun, and then used a name to become a bystander at the beginning of the whole story, and then he participated in the process of the story at the same time, becoming the uncanny valley That is to say, what the nuns have experienced before, he will also experience, and what the nuns will face in the future, he will also face together.”

Xie Yuanyuan was shocked: "He has to go through what the holy nun has experienced?! Then she was caught by the guards...and others, in the laboratory at the bottom of the lake..."

He was in such a state of confusion, and was so shaken that he fell silent all at once.

Wen Zheliu understood the meaning of He Qin's conversation with Abel just now.Abel developed his own mind, no longer a sloppy program without a name. Like Jenny Longji, he is an intelligent and intelligent life in the Uncanny Valley.He is very clear that at this point, no one can stop the ambition and revenge of the holy nun, and the players' crusade and hatred for her cannot be eased either.Abel is deeply influenced by Catholic teachings, and he firmly believes that justice will triumph over evil, but if the evil party becomes the girl he loves deeply, he would rather abandon his faith and go to hell for it Where's the girl?

He didn't allow himself to be an accomplice of indulgence, and he couldn't criticize what Celesa had done, so he silently took on everything, like a martyr who crucified himself in the dark night that no one knows, the night is eternally silent, The wilderness was empty, except for the ticking sound of his blood dripping from the cross, and the ground was dyed red with the heart.

After thinking too much, in the end, Wen Zheliu just said hoarsely: "But, I don't want to turn the world upside down..."

"So this is his doom." He Qin said, "Wrong time, wrong place, wrong story, falling in love with wrong person."

"In the world, no one is wronged, and all love is evil." At some time, Du Zijun had returned, leaning against the door, and said flatly, "I asked Xiao Shanguang to send the Son back in advance, she can't leave us control for too long."

Although the atmosphere was still stagnant and sad, Wen Zheliu still smiled.

"Okay," he said, "good job."

Du Zijun cleared his throat and unconsciously opened his eyes.

Soon, the Holy Son returned to their room from the small and hot boiler room through Xiao Shanguang's hand.She was so worried that she couldn't sleep. Seeing that everyone was safe, Shengzi jumped up and down happily. She kept asking them if there was any ghost in Abo Qiyuan. Du Zijun was so disturbed that she handed her over to Xie Yuanyuan.

"Our target amount is almost full," Wen Zheliu took out his notebook, and marked an amount on it, "There are less than [-] gold, and we can make it all in a few days..."

Thinking of this, he poked his head again, and looked at the wound on He Qin's shoulder through his clothes. It would be a lie if he said he didn't feel sorry for him. In this world, their high-level props were all suppressed into gray. , he can still share part of the rebounded injury for He Qin...

"Are you okay?" Wen Zheliu asked.

He Qin smiled and kissed him on the lips: "It's okay, don't worry about me."

"I just don't know when they found Bai Jingxing." Du Zijun looked out the window at the silent night, "It's really strange, that guy can hide for so long, and he doesn't know where he hid."

Wen Zheliu touched the communicator behind his ear. Since he came here, he had never received a communication message from Bai Jingxing. Not only Bai Jingxing, but also the people he brought did not move at all, unlike Chi Qingliu and Hua If you win, you can still say that we put all the people brought here outside and wait for the Lord to throw a few cups as an excuse to rebel immediately...

Being able to disappear without a sound for so long is an ominous sign in itself.

"In the entire city that never sleeps, there are not many people in total," Du Zijun said with a grim expression, "Li Zhengqing's twelve generals still occupy the majority. I see how long he wants to shrink."

"Wait for the news," Wen Zheliu looked at Xie Yuanyuan who was trying to joke with Shengzi not far away, "Hua Ying and Chi Qingliu are the most suitable candidates for the city-wide search, if they don't find any results..."

Before they finished speaking, the communicators behind the ears of the four people dinged and lit up.

Hua Ying: "I checked everything in the southeast, but I didn't find Bai Jingxing!"

Chi Qingliu: "I've searched all over the northwest, let alone Bai Jingxing, there's not even a shadow of anyone from Baiye Fengdu."

The faces of the four people became ugly, Xie Yuanyuan involuntarily stopped the conversation with the Son, and turned to look at the other three: "What should I do?"

Wen Zheliu didn't speak, he slowly loosened the long belt around his waist, and threw his hands on the couch.

He finally knew where the sense of disobedience came from.

He Qin looked at him and asked, "Have you figured it out?"

Wen Zheliu looked terrified, and said in a deep voice, "Bai Jingxing...is in the hands of the city lord!"

He has always found it strange, logically speaking, whether it is General Yanhua or them, they are all outsiders who have suddenly appeared in Yang's house in a short period of time. It is unreasonable that they will not attract the attention of the ruler of the city that never sleeps. They have already done a good job of this. Ready, they are always ready to deal with the sudden attack of ghost warriors.However, until now, everything around them has been calm, and nothing has happened.Including an hour ago, when General Yanhua stopped the city lord from chasing and killing him, he didn't show much surprise. He didn't ask He Fang Xiaoxiao who came here, and he didn't ask where you guys came from. Why haven't I seen you before? , he just chatted with the girls naturally, like an old friend reunited after a long absence...or an old cat who met a mouse.

Rats are running around everywhere, but the old cat can still squint its eyes peacefully, as if smiling slightly, does it really not care?No, no, it is precisely because it has absolute self-confidence and the ability to kill with one blow, so it can be so calm, it stands on a high place, it is the leader of the chessboard, and the spectator of the drama, so how can it care about the short-lived time of the little mouse? Presumptuous and struggling?

That's why the city lord can act so relaxed, discovering, chasing, and returning to the original road are all casual and child's play-he knows that they will lurk into Awaqiyuan again, because he has the hole card in his hand from the beginning, and he is holding it. Bai Jingxing, grab the life of the player companion!

Both Hua Ying and Chi Qingliu were shocked, and Du Zijun asked, "Are you sure?"

Wen Zheliu's face was very ugly, he clenched his back molars, feeling the anger of being fooled.It is equivalent to saying that from the beginning to the end, all their actions are seen by the ruler of the city that never sleeps, and it doesn't matter what strategy or secret it is.

Something that has never happened before, really something that has never happened before... This mysterious opponent first suppressed He Qin in terms of strength, and then suppressed himself in terms of resourcefulness, really like a supreme god showing off his power to mankind.Wen Zheliu seemed to have heard the triumphant laughter of the indistinguishable male and female again, and heard the city lord loudly saying how can man defeat God?Throughout life, a person can only touch the hem of God's garment with his fingertips!

Du Zijun looked at him in surprise. Compared to the news that Bai Jingxing was in the hands of the city lord, he was more surprised by Wen Zheliu's eyes at this moment, which were as hot as the sun in full bloom, and instantly ignited a fire of unwillingness.

"He pissed me off." Wen Zheliu said, "Very good... very good! I accept the letter of challenge he sent!"

Xie Yuanyuan said in a daze: "The letter of war? When did you send the letter of war..."

Wen Zheliu said: "There is no need to take back your puppet and scouts, let them serve as eyeliners all over the city. The question now is, how do we save Bai Jingxing?"

A calm and resolute female voice suddenly broke in: "Even Bai Jingxing is not sure whether Bai Jingxing is in the hands of the city lord, how do you want to save it?"

Li Zhengqing, the leader of the sword like a dream, she had never participated in their discussion before, Wen Zheliu greeted: "Leader Li."

As soon as she spoke, the generals of Yanhua also rushed into the player channel, laughing and making a fuss, and Li Zhengqing whispered: "Jiayi."

One of the girls immediately answered clearly, "Yes."

Her voice was very heroic, like a long sword being struck, and she seemed to be older than the other eleven. Once she made a sound, the rest slowly fell silent.

Only then did Wen Zheliu realize that General Yuhua's name was actually derived from the stems and branches of the earth.

Chi Qingliu said: "But it is true that we have searched all over the city. The only place we haven't searched is the tower. The guards around the ghost are too strong, and the puppet will be discovered by them soon."

"The only thing we need to confirm," Wen Zheliu said in a low voice, "is the city lord really Izanami, and how much control does he have over the city that never sleeps?"

Du Zijun said: "I'm using Long Ji's enchantment, the content of our conversation now shouldn't be so easy to see through?"

"Not necessarily," He Qin finally spoke, "If we kill the carbine again, maybe the city lord will not think of it, but we have no idea where Bai Jingxing is locked up in Aboqiyuan."

The Holy Son listened for a long time, and suddenly asked: "You...have any friends been caught?"

He Qin turned to look at her: "Yes, we have to go to Awagihara again."

"It's an important friend," Wen Zheliu added, seeing her frightened expression, "Even though she managed to escape from death... let's treat it as a life for nothing, this time I still have to go."

Shengzi frowned and looked at them. After a while, she sighed greatly.

"Ah, ah... people!" Her gaze seemed to be looking at a very far away place, and there was some kind of sadness in it, "I heard that your life span is only a hundred years, so everything is short. , everything is enthusiastic, even if I waste my life because of one decision...it is really a hot life, as hot as flames and fireworks..."

She hesitated for a while, then said softly, "I can tell you where your friends are."

"Really?" Xie Yuanyuan looked at her in surprise, "But, how do you know?"

Shengzi smiled and said: "Awa Qiyuan is my home. I understand it like I understand my body. Where did he arrest people and lock him in? As long as I close my eyes, I can feel it soon."

After a pause, she added, "Take it as...you are willing to help me as a reward."

Wen Zheliu watched her, a strange light flashed in his eyes.

The channel was silent for a long time, Li Zhengqing asked: "So, when are you leaving?"

He Qin said: "Now."

Both Chi Qingliu and Hua Ying were shocked: "Now?! But didn't you just come back from there..."

"It's been almost an hour since I came back," Wen Zheliu corrected, "If you want to kill the carbine, it's now, and you can't give the city lord any chance to react!"

Xie Yuanyuan handed Shengzi a communicator: "It's good to use this real-time conversation... although I don't know if you can use it."

Shengzi opened his lips slightly, took the little transparent thing like vines, and stared at the group of people in front of him dumbfounded. The remaining one of the two men looked as cold as a mountain and was more masculine than some men, but it didn't feel a lot of disobedience to pretend to be a woman.Shengzi knew that there was a kind of stage occupation called Kabuki. The roles in it, whether male or female, were played by men. Among them, the Kabuki actors who played women were called female forms. They were all beautiful boys with slender bodies and fair skin. When they changed The thick and gorgeous twelve unlined clothes on the top are full of twists and turns, and the waist and limbs are slack, even the women are not as beautiful as they are.In her opinion, although the few people in front of her are not as slender as the female figure, and they are too tall in dresses, but a certain kind of charming bearing props up their spines, and that kind of confident and powerful beauty has nothing to do with gender , enough to make people ignore other incongruous flaws.

Then...then they stood up very quickly at this moment, took off their cocoon-like robes, there was a loud clang, and the hairpin rings were turned back and forth again, and four people dressed in black appeared again in the flickering candle Under the fire, the light of the sword is dazzling and bright.

"Let's go." He Qin said resolutely, not caring about the injury on his shoulder, "Leader Li, the Holy Son will be taken care of by you first."

Li Zhengqing couldn't help being silent for three seconds because of this crazy speed... After three seconds, she said: "...Okay, she will leave it to me."

"We are waiting for you outside," Chi Qingliu said, "Be careful."

Wen Zheliu said: "This time it's purely for a quick decision, but it shouldn't be too blatant. The city lord believed that we would rescue Bai Jingxing, but he certainly didn't expect that we would return for the second time in such a short period of time, so we must win Capture the moment when he's off guard."

"Understood." Xie Yuanyuan said, "It's a big deal to let me go alone, he may not find me."

Du Zijun said coldly: "Holy Son can see you like a normal person. If the city lord is Izanami, do you think he can find out?"

Xie Yuanyuan bit his lip angrily.

Wen Zheliu turned around and gestured to Shengzi to contact her at any time. At this moment, the gathered petals were already fluttering by her side.

The Holy Son nodded, and watched the four of them disappear into the night sky like pitch-black lightning.

Entering Awagihara for the second time in such a short period of time, the four of them also seemed to be familiar with the road.Knowing that ordinary concealed props would not work against the city lord, He Qin took out [Ginger in Vegetables] from his backpack again and put it on them.

[Ginger in the dish] is not the highest-level hiding item that they can use at present, but it has a cheap attribute, that is, it can change the aura of the hider with the change of the environment, making it more natural|seamless The ground is integrated with its surroundings, just looking at this point, even many A-level props can't do it.

"There's no need to split up," He Qin said, "Let's go straight to the goal."

In the communicator, the Holy Son said softly: "The penultimate floor... has living creatures that are different from ghosts!"
