The brave man who runs a hotel in an RPG

I seem to be wrapped in the amniotic fluid of my mother, and my body is sinking and floating with something. It is not a liquid, or even a substance, but I am indeed held up by them and firmly fixed in it.

My mind is heavy, I can’t feel my limbs, my whole body is filled with an indescribable sense of fatigue as if my strength has been drained, I try hard to open my eyes, but I can’t do it no matter what, there is nothing here, no light , there is no darkness, no sound and smell, only me.

Where is this, outside the world?Where is the end? Is it the illusion of the "fourth work"? Is it the illusion of "Sixth Work"?Or……

The previous memory was retrieved little by little, and I remembered the reason why I was imprisoned here. Kane temporarily rose to level 120 by relying on the power of the breath of the dead. We successfully defeated the "Supreme Work". The power of the shadows in it leaked out, together with those in the body of "Supreme Work", they wanted to catch up with me to awaken the "evil" Quaid personality, Kane turned into wind wings and took me and Windsania Going up to the sky, just before reaching the hole leading to the upper floor, the power of shadow caught up with me.

——so I'm in a soul vessel now?Just like when I exchanged places with the "Black Dragon" in the illusion of "Sixth Game".

But compared with that time, there are still many differences. Considering that I was deprived of the five senses and the ability to act, this is probably a sea of ​​consciousness deeper than the "eggshell" under the shackles. The sea is fluttering and undulating, like a speck of dust in the vast universe drifting involuntarily in the vast galaxy, and no fragments can be found that can piece together the five senses or the ability to move despite all efforts.

——Kane and Windsania haven't escaped yet, so I can't stay here forever.

The "evil" fused with the power of shadow in the Tower of Final End must be extremely powerful. It is the lord enshrined by the Simmel family, and Kane is the container that the Simmel family is ready to accommodate "evil". His The situation is very dangerous, and I can't let the "evil" run amok outside.

I must go out!

I immersed myself in the mysterious atmosphere around me, concentrating on searching for clues. "Evil" can still resist and struggle after being suppressed by the shackles of light. We belong to the same origin and have similar abilities. It must be done.

After searching for a long time, I realized that it is almost impossible to find the five senses in this vast sea of ​​consciousness.

I'm like a fluff that fell into a petri dish. I can't see or touch it here. I can only move slowly to approach the fragments that may exist around me. If it is the right fragment, I can merge with it. One, but the size of the "universe" and "dust" is so different, trying to collect fragments in this "universe" can be said to be a needle in a haystack.

I had a hint of retreat, but in the next second this retreat was replaced by a stronger will.

I remembered the death of Kane I saw in the illusion of the "Sixth Game". The heart-piercing at that time is still vivid in my mind. It is enough for me to experience this kind of sadness once in the illusion.

Go to work, Alsis!

……

The first thing I got back was the sense of touch. Unfortunately, the sense of touch didn’t help me too much in finding the five senses. It reflected the feeling of my body, and I didn’t know whether my consciousness was in the body. It seems that I took it for granted that the elemental factor can judge that the road is blocked.

Then I found hearing, which allowed me to faintly hear the sounds of the outside world. Although I couldn't make out the meaning of those words because they were too vague, some sounds didn't need to be understood.

For example, excited songs, painful groans, the rumble of buildings collapsing, the muffled sound of earth clods and slabs falling, and the whirring of wings flapping in the air, full of wind.

From these noises, I can roughly infer what happened outside. The evil dragon descending into the world is a carnival for the believers. Unfortunately, the devout "my lord" of the Zimmer family does not appreciate their affection, nor their loyalty at all. Hanging on my heart, it destroyed the Tomb of the Bandit King and flew to the sky above the desert, abandoning its followers.

"The main task: ??? The cemetery (four) has been completed, and the rewards have been issued. Please pay attention to check it. Received the main task: ??? The cemetery (five)."

The unexpected system notification sounded.

It said that the rewards have been issued... I can't move the inventory in this state.The mission has reached the fifth ring, and I don't know how Kane and Windsania are doing now.

——Anyway, try calling up the mission panel... board.

I was a little surprised, the task panel was successfully called out by me, I haven't regained my vision yet, but I can see the text on the task panel, is it because the panel appeared in my mind instead of in front of my eyes?And obviously neither the attribute panel nor the guide can be called, who would have thought that the commands to view tasks are not restricted.

I browsed through the mission description, but the more I looked at it, the more I was shocked.

The task requirement is "to prevent Quaid from transforming into the devil king". This sentence has confirmed the truth that Quaid = devil king. The next line of the task prompt reveals that Quaid wants to eat the living people in the traveler town, and the brave man is required to do so before it does so. Killing it, what's even more absurd is that if you can't stop Quaid, the entire game will be gameover. At the beginning, the electronic voice said that you can start over after failing the main mission and punishing it. I didn't expect the Creator to backtrack.

I looked down at the second point again, and now I didn't even have the strength to shock. The second point wrote: "As long as Alsis's consciousness is awakened, Quaid can be prevented from becoming a demon king. The way to awaken Alsis Please explore on your own."

I read this sentence back and forth three times, contacting the mission prompt to kill Quaid, I suddenly didn't quite understand the meaning of these two sentences.

Is it meant to express... Quaid = Demon King, and I ≠ Quaid?

At this moment, there was a warm touch on my lips, and the other party didn't linger on it, and moved his head away after just touching it.

My consciousness is still in the sea of ​​consciousness in the soul container. I don’t know where my body is, but it should be controlled by another Quaid. So who is this person?

Just as I was thinking this, my hand was grabbed by someone. The familiar grip and the smooth skin on the palm of the opponent revealed the identity of the person, it was Kane.But why is Kane here?

His breath sprayed on the back of my hand, and his whispered words were also carried to my ears by the thin air: "I didn't sleep that day because I was waiting for you, I think you must have guessed it and didn't say it."

——I guessed it, but why did you say this at this time?

He held my hand tightly, and said: "...don't find a new love too quickly."

--Why do you say that?I have you, why should I find a new love?

Questions filled my mind, and I really wanted to open my mouth to ask Kane what he was talking about, but my body didn't listen to me, and my consciousness remained in the deep sea of ​​consciousness, not in my body.

Kane let go of my hand and let it fall to my side, and then there was nothing else, and he didn't say anything else.

The silence between him and me seems to be mixed with imperceptible gaps.

I began to speed up the search for fragments of the five senses. I was thinking about Kane's two illogical words. After entering the Nine-pointed Star Formation, I have repeatedly avoided the fact that I am the Demon King. To put it bluntly, it is like I refused to be a hero in the forest of the beginning, and refused to complete the task step by step... I am doing my best to avoid that answer.

This is definitely not is a farewell.

Nothing to worry about, even if you die you will be sent to the coordinator, there is no real death in the game.

—Is there really no real death?

I seemed to see the expression of Christine at the grave in the forest again. He raised his tired eyes and looked at me, shaking his head and emphasizing to me that the elf Oliver was "real death" this time.

The neck was slightly loose, and I felt Kane's lips on the neck. After a sharp pain, his teeth penetrated into the flesh of my neck. I didn't have time to think about the meaning of what he did. Before I thought about it, something went away from my body. The sense of detachment first went through all the limbs.

Accompanied by a severe sense of detachment, the senses of vision, taste and smell all recovered, and the five senses and six senses returned together. The magic power is intertwined, they circulate in my blood, and gradually become tightly twisted into the same bundle so that they are inseparable, just like Kane who absorbed the breath of the dead, my level began to rise non-stop, except for his elemental factor And magic, through his mouth there are many undead, the voices and memories of more undead than I know flowed into my mind, Kane stretched out his hand to cover my eyes, his fingers were on my face The pattern and runes of the magic circle were written and drawn on the forehead. Under the urging of the magic circle, my eyes suddenly became hot and swollen, and my head also felt severe pain.

Enduring the pain everywhere in my body, I thought hard, and I finally understood his intention.

The shackles of light that lost the light element factor were broken, and I was dominated by burning hunger. I forgot what I wanted to do and what I wanted to say for a while. I did the same, without relying on physical actions, my soul automatically absorbed the power of the shadow, and the "evil" with the same source as me was very angry, I felt it, but this did not stop my gluttonous feast, I The consciousness escaped from the captivity, and freely entangled with the shadow body of "Evil", read the thoughts in the heart of "Evil", and it was about to cut open its stomach and attack Kane.

——I won’t give you this chance.

With Alsis' body as the center, it sucked away the power of shadows that make up the claws. At this time, I am afraid that energy vortices that rotate at high speed have been formed on the surface of "Evil"'s pitch-black body, but those energies are not overflowing from the body but Everything is absorbed by the inner self. At this time, even "evil" can't stop me. When reincarnated, it has been reduced to the inner personality, and it should be like this at this moment.

——I have thought about why Quaid has two personalities many times, and the conclusion I have reached so far is that "evil" is an accessory personality born from Quaid's shadow power.

Even standing at the top of the dark camp, the demon dragon Quaid, who has the power of shadow, has two levels of light and darkness. "Evil" is the darkness driven by light, and it is the shadow born under the light. The words I heard in my dream after the first runaway "Black Dragon"?

The roar of "Evil" is deafening, with a world-shaking momentum. It competes with me for the power of shadow. We have been engaged in this kind of competition since its birth. Proportionally speaking, it loses more. That's why it didn't grab me without any suspense. I absorbed more and more energy, and my strength increased several times with each point. I deeply realized how powerful Quaid is. When I was surrounded by the power of energy, I had the illusion of being omnipotent, no, this is not an illusion, the words of Quaid in the best state may be true, every breath can be in tune with the flowing clouds in the sky, every breath Every breath is at the same frequency as the river on the ground. When the power of the shadow reaches its limit, I regain my mobility, and my senses and clear mind are also revived.I opened my eyes, and there were rolling condensed black flames everywhere.

I'm still in Quaid's shadow body.

I first looked at Kane who was lying on the side. He closed his eyes quietly as if he was asleep. I leaned over and put my hands on his shoulders. I hugged my upper body, brushed off the blond hair covering half of his face for him, and wiped off my blood on his lips.

He remained asleep all the time, as if time had stood still on him.

I tried to check his character stats and the system told me the target was wrong.

At that moment, my hands and feet were cold.

Is there something wrong... How could the target be wrong, it is impossible to target the wrong target, Kane is a real brave, he and I are still in a team state, how could it be impossible to check his character attributes?

I hurriedly wanted to call up the team interface to check, but I couldn't get it out, no matter how many times I entered the command, the result couldn't be called out.

This happens only when the characters are not yet in a party.

I am clearly aware of this.

"Give it back to me!! Give me back the power of shadow——!"

"Evil" was roaring, and it stretched out its other intact paw, and its thoughts were immediately conveyed to my heart, which is the same body as me.

I stopped it with my mind.

"Give it back! They belong to me!! They belonged to me!!!"

--belongs to you?

"Are you still trying to seize sovereignty?" I asked while absorbing the shadow power that made up the dragon's claws.

"Give it back to me back to me back to me - give it all back to me - it's for me! It's all mine!!!"

"Evil" didn't answer, just repeated its meaningless cry.

——If it doesn’t make sense, then there’s no need to talk about it.

I tightened my arms around Kane's upper body, and said to "Evil" the words that deserved a beating and were justified: "Dedicated to you? Isn't what's yours mine?"

After that, I didn't give it another chance to repeat the ghost roar, and increased my efforts to annex the "material" of the shadow body, and the power flowed into my soul container unimpeded. This time, I was fuller than ever before. Halfway through, the "evil" had no strength to roar any more, its roar turned into an ugly howl, the shadow body quickly dried up like a leaky balloon, and finally evaporated, I built a A new cage locks "evil" and the dust settles.

The scenery in the desert is the same no matter where I am. The wind and sand slapped on my body, mixed with small and sharp stones from time to time. I opened my cloak to cover Kane, and stood up on the sand with him in my arms. On the way back, there is only silence and depression in the wind.

The person in my arms moved, I reacted after being stunned for a moment, and immediately lifted the cloak covering Kane to look at his face.

"Kane, wake up..."

Before I could finish speaking, Kane rolled over from my arms. He ran towards me. I was caught off guard and fell on the sand by him. I spit out the sand and tried to stand up and asked him what was wrong. The ground tightened, and Kane sat on my waist. A force of gravity was exerted on my throat and I couldn't breathe. I struggled to find Kane's two overlapping hands, and my joy quickly cooled down, and my mind went blank.

Facing the shadow-tainted eyes of the blond magician, I figured out the joints, and couldn't help but feel redoubled anger.

"When... did you... go in?" I asked pantingly as I pushed "Kane"'s hand away.

While questioning, I found that a trace of shadow power was leaking from my soul container, each trace was so small that it was hard to detect, I am afraid that this method was used to avoid my eyes.

"Evil" smiled on Kane's face, and half-seriously and half-casually played a four-handed game with me.

"This body is still alive. Isn't it a pity not to use it? In the future, you will use that warrior's body and I will use this magician's body, and they will not interfere with each other from now on. You also think this is a good idea."

"I'm sorry...I refuse to..."

It sounded like a terrible idea.

——Damn it, when did Kane become so powerful.

Since I didn't dare to hurt Kane, I hid in Kane's body. Do you really think I can't do anything about it?

I re-examined the task prompt while "Evil" was concentrating on wrestling with me and playing house:

"As long as Alsis's consciousness is awakened, Quaid can be prevented from becoming the devil."

It is "after awakening my consciousness, I can prevent Quaid from becoming the devil king", not "when I awaken my consciousness, it will be considered successful in preventing", so the key is...

"Quaid now wants to eat an entire Traveler Town alive, kill it before it does that."

The key is to kill "Quaid".

"You're getting too early."

——Break it!

After I was free, I immediately grabbed the two hands of "Evil" and pressed them back. Before it resisted, I used the power of shadows to condense ropes to tie it from hands to feet into a rice dumpling. I didn't forget to seal its mouth , lest it use Kane's mouth to curse out any unpleasant words.

"...!!" "Evil" couldn't speak and could only stare at me.

"What do you think, get into the body of the magician to defeat the warrior..."

What's more, it's still... an empty shell magician without levels and magic power.

(Guide, is my understanding of the mission prompts correct? Is the way to end the plot the same as I thought?)

"...Yes, the correct method is just as the Brave-sama thinks."

The voice of the guide is a little hesitant, I know it is not hesitating because it is lying, but it is hesitating because it matches the truth.

(That's good.)

I pulled the collar of "Evil" and kissed Kane's lips under its astonished gaze - the kiss's body has not changed, but the inside is another self, this feeling is really subtle.

I sucked the consciousness of "evil" back into the soul container and strengthened its confinement again. I gently hugged Kane and put it back on the sand. The tip is facing itself.

Looking up, the dim sky above the desert showed a gray color.

——When night falls, will this sky also be hung with platinum crescents and brilliant stars?

Thinking of this, the dull gray in my eyes seemed to have turned into a clear blue, so I made a wish to match it under the clear blue sky. ()
