Chosen Prophet [Unlimited]

The long night in the desert should have been icy cold, but the courtyard was as warm as spring by some kind of illusion; the two corpses had blood on them, and they should have smelled blood, but there was a lot of mulberry smoke and unknown What kind of ghee was used, so the smell of blood was also diluted, and there was only a faint aroma in the nose.

On such a strange night and in such a strange courtyard, two corpses lying in a warm burial pool is already a frightening scene, but their expressions are too serene, which undoubtedly adds to the creepy feeling. sense of eerie.

After seeing the corpse, Duan Yi's first reaction was to take out the tablet.

—The time now is 11:[-] p.m.

Then he took out all his back-time clocks.He spent most of his gold coins on parachute defenses, not many watches of this kind were bought.Calculated according to the reset timeline, he has 4 such clocks in total, and can go back 40 minutes in total.

Seeing his movements, Mingming said: "I will bring you here on horseback, and it will take 30 minutes at the fastest. You can turn back the time and go back to 10:50, and it will be 11:20 when you get here. Look at their appearance, The time of death must be before 11:20. Too late."

"It's not necessarily too late. I still want to make the last attempt." Duan Yi looked towards tomorrow and said, "Even if it's too late to save Tong Nian, at least I can take this opportunity to see other teammates clearly. When they voted No. 3, they had to consider the faction , Whether you vote for her or not may not affect the consideration of her ending. So, I actually want to see their choice this time."

Tomorrow soon understood what Duan Yi meant.

Stepping forward to hold Duan Yi's hand, he said, "Sorry, I can't interfere in this matter—"

Duan Yi interrupted him: "You don't need to say this at all. Her death has nothing to do with you."

It would undoubtedly be very dangerous to interfere with the plot and interrupt the dungeon process as an NPC tomorrow.If he is exposed and the plan to implicate Mingyue fails, maybe all the players will not be able to return to reality in the end.

Shaking tomorrow's hand firmly, Duan Yi used the clock four times in a row, turning the time back to 10:50 in the evening.

The discussion ended at 10 o'clock; at 10:10, Tong Nian's "last words" time ended and he left the tent.

And the time point of 10:50 is the time when Duan Yi left the discussion hall and just returned to the boys' camp.

At this moment, most of the players were still discussing outside, Hong Xianzheng opened the curtain and walked in, and then went to the bathroom. "I'm going to take a shower today—"

"I have something to say." Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Duan Yi went back to the discussion hall and interrupted everyone's follow-up discussion, "I used four clocks to reverse the time. I came back from 11:11. Before I was about 11 I set off at [-]:[-] and arrived at the celestial burial platform. I saw the corpses of Tong Nian and the trader. I wanted to save her, or at least see how she died, so I came back.

"Who is willing to turn back time with me now? I know that everyone may not be willing to change the voting results, but at least we can turn back the time to around 10:10. Let's follow Tong Nian quietly to the sky burial platform to see if we can be there." Save her when she is killed."

After Duan Yi said this, No. 2 Dou Shuang was naturally the first to respond.

But as soon as she made a response, her face turned pale. "But I... I don't have such props anymore."

Hearing what she said, Wu Junlan next to her immediately said: "I can—"

Before she finished speaking, Wu Junlan noticed that Duan Yi gave her a wink, so she paused and said, "I can provide a list."

"Okay. Now Wu Junlan helped us win 10 minutes. Is there anyone else willing?" Duan Yi asked while looking at the other players.

I saw that No. 9 Yunhao generously took out a reverse timetable. "I can."

Followed by No. 5 Bai Sinian who took out the same props. "I can too."

"Okay. Now it's 30 minutes in total."

Just as Duan Yi said that, Dongfang Yu also took out a watch, "Count me in. Now it's 40 minutes. The time can be turned back for 40 minutes, and it's exactly 10:10."

Shu Rongrong smiled when she heard this.

Holding up a watch, she said: "Actually, I can also contribute. But I think... it's a waste of props. Since she has already fallen into the death trap. Even if you can prevent her death once, can you prevent the second time?"

"Actually, the possibility of using this prop to save yourself is very small, because many times, when you trigger the risk of death, you are already dead, so you have no chance to use this prop at all. In addition, use it to buy yourself time to collect clues It's not very useful, because a prop can only give myself 10 minutes more time."

Looking at Shu Rongrong, Duan Yi said, "This prop actually has two main functions. First, when you accidentally explode, you can use it to rewind time and modify your speech; second, use it to save your teammates.

"Using this tool to save teammates will undoubtedly maximize its value. This means that it will be a real artifact, and it can change life and death in a real sense. But the key point behind it is whether anyone Ken saves you with such a prop.

"I know that you and Hong Xian claim to be smart and have used some despicable methods to survive until now. You two may also use such props to save each other, but in the future... will anyone use this to save you?"

The smile became a little mocking, and Duan Yi continued: "You can live for a while by being clever, but you can't live for the rest of your life. This game can design such props... Maybe in the end, what it really tests is not how far we can kill each other. It depends on whether we can trust each other and cooperate for a win-win situation. For example, will we use precious props for teammates regardless of the cost."

After finishing these words quickly, Duan Yi returned the time to around 10:10.

Because the communication just now was delayed for some time, now Tong Nian has been taken away from the tent by the soldiers, and has a certain distance from everyone.

Duan Yi raised the tent and looked outside, only to find that tomorrow is coming.

Tomorrow was bowing his head and saying something to the soldiers.After a while, after listening to his words, the soldiers left one after another.

When following them away, tomorrow turned around and gestured to Duan Yi in the night.

Duan Yi nodded at him, quickly returned to the tent, and said to the others: "Interrupt your discussion. I have something to say."

After Duan Yi briefly summed up what happened, the players will naturally find that there is no reverse time clock by checking their props, so they will know that Duan Yi is not lying.

Finally, Duan Yi looked at them and asked, "Who wants to go with me?"

·

20 minute later.

The players formed a queue in pairs and quietly followed Tong Nian.

The two soldiers led Tong Nian forward, while the other players followed quietly in the dark with their waists bowed and light steps.

This time it was tracking, Duan Yi naturally couldn't ride a horse, but took the lead at the front of the team.

In fact, when he found out that everyone was coming, he was a little surprised at first.

After all, Hu Jin, Shu Rongrong, and Hong Xian, he initially thought that they would not come.

But soon he realized why they came.

Apart from doing superficial work, they probably also want to see what will happen to Tong Nian. After all, this will help them analyze the dungeon story and customs clearance conditions.

They are just here to watch the story, not to save Tong Nian, if something happens, they will run away immediately, Duan Yi hardly doubts that.

Among the three, Shu Rongrong was the most special one.Now it is very doubtful whether she has fallen into the trap like Tong Nian.And if she didn't fall into the trap, why did she pretend to be caught in the trap? The logic behind this is a bit self-evident, and it's frightening to think about it carefully.

The worst guess is that everything that happened to Tong Nian was caused by her, Shu Rongrong, or deliberately designed.

If this is the case, Shu Rongrong must come to see how Tong Nian died.

After the players followed Tong Nian for another 10 minutes, an accident happened.

Duan Yi walked in the front of the team and saw the whole process clearly.

At this time they are going up a small slope.

The moonlight reflected the yellow sand into silvery white, and the two soldiers led Tong Nian up the slope, leaving neat rows of footprints on the silver sand-like uphill road along the way.

But when they reached the halfway up the hillside, Tong Nian suddenly stopped, raised his head, and then faced the west, then knelt down and bowed three times in that direction.

Her movements are meticulous, even from the back, you can feel her piety, as if the Western Paradise is her lifelong pursuit.

Immediately afterwards, she raised her hands, and under the moonlight, she could clearly see a short needle-like thing in her palm, and the silver light could almost chill people's eyes.

Duan Yi immediately heard Wu Junlan's exclamation that was suppressed with all her strength. "This, this is what she used to kill Dou Shuang before! She, she is afraid to—"

Wu Junlan didn't have to finish this sentence, Duan Yi had already seen what she was going to do - she stabbed the short needle into her chest.

The moonlight illuminated her movements clearly.

Her movements are crisp and clear, as if she has rehearsed this way a million times.And this action also shows her determination, she will do it no matter what, no one can change her decision.

The short needle pierced into the chest, and Tong Nian pulled it out again, the moonlight illuminated the sharp tip of the short needle, and also saw the blood spattering out from it.

Blood flowers bloomed from her chest and fell on the desert, just like the other shore flowers blooming on the desert in the fantasy of childhood.

After a while, Tong Nian fell to the ground.

And the two soldiers didn't seem to expect this kind of thing to happen, and they froze in place immediately, discussing what to do.

At this time, two familiar people came down from the top of the slope—the two disciples that Duan Yi and the others had met in the yard, the second senior brother and the youngest senior brother.

I only heard the voice of the second senior brother not far away: "Senior brother counts that someone will die here, and we are specially ordered to come and collect the body. She is a devout believer of our religion, and senior brother will send her soul to the heaven."

One of the soldiers said with emotion: "Can this be counted? The time and place are so accurate? Master Daguang is worthy of being a master!"

If so, the two soldiers turned and left.

And the two senior brothers lifted Tong Nian's body to the other side of the desert.

Before the soldiers arrived, Duan Yi immediately said: "Let's turn back first, and don't let them see it for the time being. Who knows if they will inform Daguang."

At this time, Hong Xian made a gesture of spreading his hands at Duan Yi: "Look, what did we say wrong? She died before entering the prison, so we voted for her, which does not mean sending her Die! Whether we vote for her or not, she will commit suicide!"

Duan Yi looked back at him, his brows were a little cold. "Until we turn back time and see it all, no one can draw a firm conclusion, can they?"

Hong Xian smiled and said: "According to me, your proposal wasted a lot of people's tools, you should feel sorry, you—"

"Shut your beak!" Duan Yi snapped, looking back at Tong Nian's corpse in the desolate desert, his hard and stern facial features showed a little sadness, and immediately returned to seriousness and firmness.

With a deep voice, Duan Yi said: "In the case of protecting ourselves and not blindly sacrificing ourselves, we should do our best to save others. No matter how much we pay, it is not a waste. Maybe the result is not satisfactory, maybe we can't change anything in the end, But at least you can do it with a clear conscience.”

"I don't want to change my fate against the sky, but I want to have a clear conscience. This is my attitude in Duan Yi's actions. Those who are willing to believe in me can believe to the end."

After saying this, Duan Yi strode forward and turned back in the direction of the camp.

And there is another sentence that he didn't say just now - he will save the people who should be saved.As for the others... revenge with revenge, revenge with resentment.

·

It is a foregone conclusion, Duan Yi can only persuade himself not to entangle.All he has to do now is to recharge his batteries in order to deal with the subsequent problems.

So, back in his tent, he took a quick shower and forced himself to sleep.

After dawn the next day, the players woke up one after another.The first thing they want to do is very consistent - go to the sky burial and see what happens.

In fact, players have already made enough predictions about what they will see there.

So No. 2 Dou Shuang first expressed his refusal.

Tong Nian's death had already dealt a great blow to her, and she absolutely did not want to face the scene of Tong Nian's corpse being disassembled and fed to vultures.

Seeing this, Dongfang Yu proposed to stay with her to avoid any accidents on her side.

In this way, except for these two girls, the rest of the players went to the sky burial platform immediately after a simple wash.

Duan Yi thought he would see an extremely cruel picture.But what I didn't expect was that the courtyard that was like spring all the year round was actually very quiet.

The pine trees stand tall as before, and the burial pool is very clear, clearly reflecting the green trees and blue sky.The sound of believers chanting scriptures came from the house not far away, giving people a sense of tranquility and peace, as if nothing had happened.

Hu Jin couldn't help but said: "Fuck, what's going on here? Couldn't everything last night be our hallucination?"

"No. Take a closer look, the mulberry smoke has already been burned, and then smell the celestial burial platform, it smells more bloody, and finally, look at the skull wall—"

Duan Yi pointed to a corner of the skull wall with a serious expression, and said, "The last row at that position was empty before. Now there are two more skulls there."
