The daily life of the retired devil

The moment he stepped into the Radiation Research Institute, Xie Feiyan felt an inexplicable pressure sinking down.

"Be careful."

After exhorting Shen Cijing again, Xie Feiyan slowly went deeper into the research institute.

The Radiation Research Institute is a strange research institute.

Here, all the utensils have been magnified—the unbelievably high ceiling, the table legs that are so huge that five people can hug them together, the bright and clean ground that does not reflect anything, and the unknown body soaked in the yellowish liquid Organizations, sights and noises coming from nowhere, suspicious blood stains in the corner... and so on.

Here, ordinary people are reduced to the extreme, just like humble ants breaking into the kingdom of giants; here, under all the seemingly normal appearances, there are hidden horrible details that cannot be thought deeply.

Unknown, eerie, gigantic, dead.

All of this is enough to make ordinary people completely lost in this huge and terrifying nightmare, and it also made Xie Feiyan frown several times within just 2 minutes of entering the research institute.

Xie Feiyan is not afraid of this place, he just hates it subconsciously.

"Yuqing, we may have to split up." Xie Feiyan looked at this huge research institute, "This place is too big, we have to speed up our exploration, so later you go—"

"Do not."

Before Xie Feiyan could finish speaking, Shen Cijing flatly refused.

"You can't act separately." Shen Cijing held Xie Feiyan's hand, frowning deeply, "I have a bad feeling here, we'd better act together to ensure safety."

Xie Feiyan didn't turn his head to look at Shen Cijing, so as not to soften his heart.

"No, we can't guarantee safety by taking one action, we need to complete the task as soon as possible." Xie Feiyan analyzed coldly, "Yuqing, you must understand that we are now in an infinite killing game, and we are conducting a life-and-death battle on an alien planet. The mission, so we must complete the mission as soon as possible, and leave this planet as soon as possible, otherwise it will be of no benefit to you or me."

Shen Cijing was very keen, and noticed something almost instantly: "There is no time limit for the second phase of the task, why are you so nervous and anxious? Is there something you didn't tell me?"

Xie Feiyan finally turned his head to look at Shen Cijing. After staring at him for two seconds, he said, "Something happened on this planet, Yuqing...I'm sorry I can't tell you what happened now, because Knowing the truth will not help the matter, only by completing the task and leaving here can we restore everything. Yuqing, we must leave here as soon as possible... at least you must leave as soon as possible."

Patting the back of Shen Cijing's hand reassuringly, Xie Feiyan withdrew his hand.

"Okay, let's go." Xie Feiyan gave orders with absolute calmness, "With this table as the center, you go to the left, I go to the right, in a clockwise direction, we need to quickly search here in - hours - after Gather here. If anyone returns here first, he will fire this green flare, and if anyone finds a clue or encounters danger, he will fire this red flare, understand?"

Shen Cijing silently took the two flare guns from Xie Feiyan.

If it was at other times, Shen Cijing might have joked something like "You seem to have everything on you", but now, Shen Cijing is not in that mood.

Shen Cijing held Xie Feiyan's tightly bandaged hand, as if he wanted to squeeze it tightly, but before he clenched it, he suddenly retracted his hand as if he had been burned, and squeezed it tightly behind his back. , drooping eyelashes, thin lips tightly pursed.

Xie Feiyan's heart suddenly trembled.

This familiar scene, like an old dream reappearing, made Xie Feiyan almost hold his breath.

But Shen Cijing quickly put away the flare gun, and quickly withdrew his hand.

He took a deep look at Xie Feiyan: "I understand, I will do it... But you must protect yourself, okay? Promise me, don't be brave, okay?"

"……it is good."

After the agreement was reached, Shen Cijing didn't stay for half a second, turned his head and left here, and explored towards the side of the institute.

Xie Feiyan stared blankly at his back, and after a while, he let out a long sigh, with a look of helplessness and pride.

"Little mirror, you..."

Now, even though Shen Cijing didn't say anything, Xie Feiyan knew that he must have understood something—something Xie Feiyan had always wanted to hide.

"Why are you so smart? Can't you be a little bit stupid?"

Xie Feiyan's Versailles-style speech drew merciless complaints from the system.

[This is what I said... If people are not smart, can they hold you?You don't think about what kind of devil you are! 】

Over the years, the system has long understood—a big devil like Xie Feiyan who is overly intelligent, self-destructive, uses violence to control violence, and has a strong desire to control everything in his own hands. It is the life of a lonely old man.

If you come to someone who is stupid, you will easily be led by the nose by Xie Feiyan. After a few rounds, you will be considered boring and forget about it; but if you come to someone with a strong personality, you will easily step on the big devil. , was twisted by his backhand neck.

But Shen Cijing perfectly fits Xie Feiyan's sharp points and shortcomings——

First, Shen Cijing is upright by nature, unmoved by external objects, but also beautiful like a flower, which is Xie Feiyan's favorite mouth; secondly, Shen Cijing's heart is like a mirror, he has a certain amount of advance and retreat, and knows when to do it What's the matter, I won't confront Xie Feiyan head-on when he is on the tip of his horns and going crazy; the third and most important point is that Shen Cijing, a dignified fairy, can not only show his cuteness at critical moments, but he is even a good player, ——Hands of cute and crazy playing are perfect, and directly trap the big devil.

[This is called - matter descending - matter. 】

From the perspective of the system, during this long journey, it is not so much Xie Feiyan who has been looking for and accommodating Shen Cijing who has been reincarnated again and again, but Shen Cijing is using his innate fearlessness, trust and tolerance. Seeing Xie Feiyan's hostility and imperfection.

If Shen Cijing hadn't met Xie Feiyan, Shen Cijing would have been able to live his life step by step; but if Xie Feiyan hadn't met Shen Cijing...then there's no telling what this big devil would do to the world The appearance turned upside down.

[So, the Immortal Venerable is the Immortal Venerable. If you sacrifice your life to feed the demons, you will move the heavens and the earth. People all over the world will remember your contribution. 】

The system muttered softly.

"What nonsense is this useless trash talking here?" Xie Feiyan didn't expect the small system in his head to end the small black room so quickly, "Mute!"

The system that was kicked back to the small black room circled angrily in the corner: Damn devil, next time you buy a service from this baby, this baby must triple the price, no, five times!

On the other end, Xie Feiyan touched his hand that Shen Cijing had carefully brushed over, and with this sweet burden in his heart, he started searching for the research institute in a very happy mood.

And maybe the better the mood, the easier it is to meet good luck. Soon, Xie Feiyan discovered some small clues on the ground.

"footprint?"

Xie Feiyan squatted down, stretched out his hand to measure, and found that what appeared in front of him was half a footprint, and fortunately, this footprint did not belong to a giant, but was the size of a normal person.

"A player...or something else?"

Without fear, Xie Feiyan followed the messy and thin footprints, and soon came to a concealed laboratory.

The laboratory said it was a cover-up, but to Xie Feiyan, the "cover-up" of the giant laboratory was no different from opening the door, so Xie Feiyan just - probed, and saw the shocking picture in the laboratory -

At this moment, on the experimental table more than [-] meters long, a huge ecological box is placed upright, with mountains, rivers, waterfalls, flowers, trees, insects and fish, everything that one expects to find, just like a miniature ecological circle!

If other players come here and see such a scene and such an ecological box from a distance, they may smile knowingly, thinking that this is a world in a box created by some ecological madman, and they may even They will happily guess which creatures will be collected in this ecological box... But if they look closer, they may not be able to show a calm smile again.

Because at this moment, what is stored in the ecological box are those players who have seen outside the world tree!

Elf race, Merman race, Beastman race... Just a momentary glance, Xie Feiyan saw many "acquaintances" in the box.

——Whether it’s a proud elf, a docile mermaid, or a heroic orc, or even other races that have never dealt with Xie Feiyan, they all showed the same expression on their faces— Frightened and horrified, they fled in the seemingly endless forest.

What's even more shocking is that, outside this "eco-box", an octopus monster that is so huge that it can hardly be observed in its entirety is wearing a weird protective suit, floating leisurely in the void, with long tentacles slowly Tun waved it around, as if it was performing some weird ritual, and it seemed to be recording something. After that, soon, it seemed to be bored with the ecological box in front of it, and slowly turned to another ecological box. In front of the box, Shi Shiran was observing the scene in another ecological box.

Only then did Xie Feiyan discover that this forest-type ecological box filled with countless players was not an isolated case, but just one of the countless ecological boxes in the laboratory. Iron frames are piled up layer by layer, covering the entire room!

With Xie Feiyan's eyesight, he could clearly see that most of the ecological boxes stacked on the iron racks on the left side of the room were waste soil environments, and the barren green-red land was covered with dense and hideous creatures. Bugs, or endless skeletons dangling.

When these bugs flew over the "sky" of the ecological box and landed on the only remaining oasis, or when these skeletons crawled out of the ground and rushed towards the only greenery left in the ecological box, some of them were ragged and skinny The "soldiers" would rush out of it, making desperate and powerless resistance, but in the end, they often ended up drowning in the endless insect pests or bones together with the greenery.

Compared with the hopeless "ecological boxes" on the left side of the room, the ecological boxes on the iron frames on the right side are completely different.

On the right, the main bodies of the many ecological boxes are usually forests or seas full of vitality, and the dominant races in them are basically various humanoid creatures.They are either waiting in front of the rough city, or waiting for the general to give orders, or rushing to the corner of the ecological box to fight with Zerg or undead, and return victorious after destroying the stubborn Zerg and undead...

One after another of the ecological boxes in the laboratory is like one after another of small worlds.

And the giant octopus observed outside these "worlds" is like an evil god swimming in the void, recording the truth of the "worlds", observing the development of the "worlds", and promoting the progress of the "worlds".

——What does this represent? !

Such "research institutes", such "laboratories", such "ecological boxes", such "observers"... What do they all represent? ! !

Xie Feiyan quickly retracted his head and hid his figure behind the door, his face was extremely ugly.

Countless guesses flashed through his mind, setting off countless turbulent waves in his mind, shocking his initial guesses and conclusions to the point of shattering, almost shattering.

In fact, when Xie Feiyan first heard the world information told by the orc players, he had guessed about it all.

Xie Feiyan believes that the disappearance of those high-level players and the continuous death of alien players were because the high-level players of Planet Suhai couldn't bear to reduce their home planet to a battlefield, so they decided to cut down the world tree after summing up, using the energy of the world tree and their own Everything is used as a sacrifice, causing this planet to spontaneously produce a power that can destroy outsiders. This power is radiation.

In order to confirm the truth of this guess, Xie Feiyan tore off the bandage on his palm to observe the wound on his palm.After all, if there is any radiation in this world, it must be eroding from the old wounds first.

And sure enough, just as Xie Feiyan thought, there were many bruises around the wound on his palm, and even festering could be seen faintly, obviously corroded by unknown forces.

So by this time, Xie Feiyan had basically confirmed his guess.

But soon, when Xie Feiyan came to this research institute, stood in front of this research room, and saw these ecological boxes, he began to waver.

Is the truth believed by people really the "truth"?

What if the players who told Xie Feiyan the "truth" were themselves one of the deceived ones? !

Xie Feiyan opened the game panel again.

[Phase [-] mission objective: Enter the world tree and find out the truth about 'Radiation'. ]

Looking at this task, Xie Feiyan smiled wryly.

"Radiation... until now, I have no idea what this 'radiation' refers to." "It seems that this game is really not that simple..."
