Homecoming through online games

======================

When the battle broke out outside Changyi City, another group of uninvited guests noticed the movement on the horizon.

The demon priest wearing a cloak stopped his mount, the bone staff under the cloak slightly raised, and the demon guards protecting him immediately stopped their mounts, and there was no sound for a while.

The priest looked at the dust rising in the distance, pondered for a moment, turned over and got off his mount, squatted down, and pressed five pale fingers on the ground.When the cloak was turned over, one could see that on the wrist with the same pale complexion, there were faintly two imprints of blue and green shining brightly.

The brilliance dissipated, and a girl with blue hair and blue eyes and a woman with green hair and green eyes appeared in front of him, bowing their heads docilely to him.

The priest got on his mount, motioned to the demon guards to bring the two companion spirits, and said to himself, "Come on, it's almost finished..."

They picked up the pace, but it took a while.When they arrived outside Changyi City, the Yinyulou ghouls had already resolved the sudden battle.After the restless monsters suffered a certain degree of casualties, their brains were finally cooled by blood, they fled in all directions, and were shot and killed by the ghouls of Yinyu Tower one by one.At this moment, the corpses of monsters are scattered around the camp, and there is no time to clean them up in the future.

After verifying the priest's identity, the Yinyulou ghoul guarding him politely invited him into the camp.The priest didn't move, but a voice came from under the cloak, saying, "Let Jiang Wang come out and meet me."

The priest's eyes fell on the leader of the ghoul, and said leisurely: "Is he not here?"

In Changyi City, after Ye Cang came back without making a sound, he shut the door behind closed doors. He gave the mongoose who heard the news and came to look for him a huge slap in the face, but he suddenly ran out today.

It was the flying mongoose's eye-catching white-fronted tiger who was the first to spot it. With a roar, it rushed over and was pushed back without any surprise.The flying mongoose held down the white tiger who was eager to try again and looked at Ye Cang with frowns.Ye Cang didn't look at them at all, he jumped to the edge of the city wall, supported the battlements and looked in the direction of the demon camp, the hatred in his eyes almost burst out.

The mongoose asked, "What's the matter, do you have enemies?"

Ye Cang ignored it, he stared over there, almost turning into a stone statue.The fingers holding on to the battlements tightened and loosened, and as soon as he stomped his feet, he suddenly turned over the city wall and rushed there.

"Hey!" The meerkat shouted angrily before he could scream, "Running once in a while, what's the matter!" With a curse, he took off the bow and arrow on his back helplessly, and focused his attention on the movement of the demon camp.

The eye-catching white-fronted tiger was free, and was attracted by a golden butterfly flying in the air.It rushed towards the butterfly, but it was in vain. It turned around and couldn't find it again. It sniffed suspiciously, and returned to the mongoose sleepily and lay down motionless.

The priest who confirmed that Jiang Wang was indeed not in the camp turned his mount and was about to leave when he suddenly jumped up.After a flash of white light, his mount screamed and fell to the ground dead, blood spurting from the severed head.The priest somehow moved several feet away, and the cloak still hadn't stopped fluctuating.He said: "Kanshui. I was not in a hurry to find you, but you sent it to your door yourself."

The demon guards dispersed silently, forming a faint encirclement circle, surrounding Ye Cang.The number of riders stepped forward, and the number of riders retreated, but they adjusted their formation.

Ye Cang stood in the field without any fear.His wolf-like eyes stared straight at the priest, his red pupils were filled with murderous intent, and he said, "Since you're here, why don't you just let me slash again!"

He swung his long knife with a sneer, and suddenly launched an attack!

The spell bloomed in the field, the sword rang, and the black figure suddenly appeared from the demon guards.A splash of water rolled up, breaking up the formation of demons.A bright knife light went straight to the priest.

Suddenly there was a strong wind, and the woman with green hair and green eyes stopped in front of Ye Cang.

The long knife froze, and Ye Cang called out: "Xunfeng..." He stared at the opponent's dead eyes, his anger became more intense, he dodged many attacks, and his saber skills became a little bit fiercer, but he couldn't break through the block for a while.

In the demon camp not too far away, the ghouls of Yinyulou paid attention to the situation in the field, and when they saw the green-haired woman who came forward to stop her, and when they heard Ye Cang call her Xunfeng, they showed a surprised and angry expression.

One after another looked silently at their leader, eagerly seeking instructions with suppressed anger: "Master, do you want to fight?"

The leader of the ghouls gritted his teeth fiercely, raised the giant bow in his hand, continued to shoot arrows, and said in a deep voice: "Hit!"

A young-looking ghoul hesitated, held his bow and asked, "Which side shall we fight?"

The door master suddenly shot an arrow, piercing through a demon guard, and shouted: "What do you think? You don't need to ask!"

The rain of arrows shot towards the demon guards outside.

On the edge of the battlefield, the priest's cloak moved and said, "Forget it. Li, go." The raised bone staff pointed in the direction of Changyi City ahead.

The blue-haired girl cast her empty eyes on Changyi City, and walked towards it step by step.Walking all the way, all the way turned into a blue flame, quickly spreading away from the ground.All the places it touched were burned up, and the lava-like color was revealed.

The shaman waved the bone staff lightly, phosphorescent light flashing faintly from its tip.The rain of arrows suddenly stopped, and the Yinyulou ghouls on the mechanism monster dropped their weapons, and bent down in pain, resisting the controlling force from the whole body with grim expressions.

A cold and powerful voice sounded in the ears of all creatures:

"Devil oracle, attack Changyi City with all its strength. After breaking through the city, they can prey on whatever they want, so they can't help but fight."

The many monsters who had flinched in fear of the power of the Yinyulou ghoul straightened up one after another, and countless pairs of eyes gleaming with greed and murderous intent turned to Changyi City.

At this moment, the flame that burned everything was approaching the Changyi City.

The situation on the field instantly turned upside down.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Ye Cang took a blow from Xunfeng, and dodged to stop in front of the line of fire.He raised his hand to spread the water curtain to fight against the raging fire. After Xun Feng also joined the attack, he couldn't help but staggered, and shouted angrily: "Qingguang! Don't watch the excitement!"

The sound of the ancient and distant piano sounded, and the water potential rose.Qing Guang, who was dressed in a wide-sleeved dress, appeared on the top of the city, and sighed: "If you hadn't deceived me with your words, how could I be trapped here. Kanshui, that human really corrupted you."

Ye Cang frowned and was about to retort back against the offensive, but before that another unexpected situation interrupted what he wanted to say.

A faint light of the knife flashed behind the priest, and the moment the blade touched his body, the priest suddenly woke up, and hurriedly dodged, but he couldn't avoid it, so he could only sideways to avoid the vital point.The blade tore open the cloak with a sound, revealing the frightened face of the priest.The light of the saber went up immediately, like a gangrene attached to the bone, and it was difficult to get rid of. Before he could react, the bone staff in his hand was shaken off and fell into the hands of the attacker.

A voice immediately took over the conversation: "Qing Guang, it's not a good habit to speak ill of people behind their backs."

The devilish energy erupted from the field, and the monsters experienced a feeling quite similar to that of the Yinyulou ghoul at this moment. The devilish energy in their bodies boiled up involuntarily, pressing them down on the spot—some of the most The monster who rushed forward eagerly directly touched the lava pool where Li Huo was incarnated, and the flames swept across his body instantly, turning them into wisps of blue smoke, leaving only burned black marks on the spot.

The priest himself didn't seem to be affected by the change of demon energy, but his body was shaken violently, and he suddenly looked in the direction of the sound - the attacker in front of him.The broken cloak fell to the ground, revealing the full face of the priest.It was a handsome man with a pale complexion but somewhat gloomy.He stared at the attacker, and didn't even attack for a while.

Ye Cang's red eyes lit up in an instant, and his aura surged for a while. After retreating a wave of offensive, he shouted happily: "Father!"

You have acquired the Witch Staff.

Released the staff's control over the ghouls in Yinyulou, and put the staff in the package to prevent loss.Ye Mu, who was dressed in black armor, stared at the priest in front of him, slowly pulled out another long knife, and replied without any carelessness, "Don't be distracted, pay attention to safety!"

Watching Ye Mu put away the stolen staff, the priest didn't show much anger. Instead, he became a little more excited because of this action. He looked back and forth at Ye Mu, and when he spoke, his voice didn't even speak. Calmly as usual, with a bit of nervousness and urgency: "Qi Ye Woruo—you...you are also a player?!"

Hearing his game ID and noticing the priest's abnormal reaction, Ye Mu's thoughts turned and he didn't rush to attack.He maintained his vigilance and replied, "Yeah, aren't you too? Yuanzhou." He read out the other party's game ID.

Hearing this address, the priest—Yuanzhou's face trembled, and condensed into a weird expression of crying and laughing, but his eyes were a little brighter when he looked over.He asked: "So - this is really an online game, right? Is it some newest game technology - holographic? Brain wave login?" He didn't wait for Ye Mu to answer, and hurriedly said, "You, you Can you exit the game and report it to me and the game company? I seem to have encountered a BUG, ​​and I can’t find the option to exit the game. I called everywhere, but I couldn’t find the game customer service. Please, I can give you a reward! Or, By the way, can you call the police for me, my name is—" He stopped suddenly, and his expression gradually became grim.

"——Xiamen." Ye Mu picked up his words, slowly said word by word, staring at him, "Your name is Xia Tian, ​​27 years old, a game video anchor, and you live at No. Y, District X, City G, Province G, Country Z. There is a cohabiting girlfriend named Zhou Yuan."

He was startled, his expression was blank for a moment, and he murmured: "Yes, Xia Tian, ​​my name is Xia Tian. Zhou Yuan... Yuanzhou... Yuanyuan..." He trembled.

Observing Yuanzhou's series of performances calmly, Ye Mu finally roughly determined that he was crazy.

Ye Mu felt a little strange when he received the memory of Yuanzhou killing the former demon god in the demon seed.As a time traveler, Yuan Zhou's performance in that memory was a bit too relaxed and calm, and it did not match the usual performance of priests.Later, in the intelligence information he actually received about Xia Tian, ​​it was recorded that Xia Tian's live broadcast style was arrogant and egoistic, but his real personality was actually quite stable.

Looking at it now, he didn't know whether it was to evade reality and hypnotize him to believe it, or because he was stimulated by various external factors, he regarded this time travel as a game that couldn't be offline due to a bug.

In this "game", he spent a much, much longer life than the 27 years he experienced in reality.

Xia Tian's memory gradually faded, only the remaining obsession to quit the game maintained him.He became a priest and became a "demon god".

Without giving Yuan Zhou much time to react, Ye Mu immediately asked, "What are you doing here?"

Yuanzhou's mind was shaken, and he answered every question: "I have been doing the main task, and I want to see if I can quit the game after the plot line is synchronized with the version in the game. The task is done so that I can play the role of the demon god and be assassinated After that, he feigned death and escaped. But the NPC He Liang didn’t know what was wrong. He changed his name and identity, but he still didn’t do anything. I just wanted to come over and kill some more NPCs to stimulate him, and see if I could get him to do it quickly. , complete the task. No, no..." As he spoke, he came back to his senses, "Ye Woruo... Ye... Are you that Ye Mu?" He took a few steps back, with a suspicious look in his eyes , "Is it you who have been interfering with my mission? You have accepted the mission of the opposite camp?"

Fortunately, Jiang Wang was not here.Ye Mu thought.

Ye Mu quickly followed his words and replied: "I'm here to rescue you. In reality, your physical vital signs are stable, but you are unconscious. After investigation, we found that there is something wrong with the holographic online game in this test. But I can't lock your location, I need to send someone into the game to find you. So I know your real information. But your identity is too well disguised, I can't find anyone, I can only try to do the task and see if I can I can't meet you during the mission. I thought you were in the human camp, so of course you took the mission from the human camp, who knew you were so powerful, and ran to the demon camp to do the hidden mission."

Hearing this, Yuanzhou put down his guard, his expression gradually brightened, and he couldn't wait to say: "That's right, thank you, thank you so much. Let's quit now? How do we do it?"

Ye Mu said calmly: "Don't worry. You logged into the game by accident. We need to restore your account to the state closest to when you entered the game, so as to keep the transmission stable and avoid accidents in the middle." He seemed After thinking for a while, I listed them one by one, "Packages, warehouses, tasks, spirits, friends, prestige, forget it, those are numerical changes, and the impact is not big."

He said to Yuanzhou: "You try to empty out the parcels and warehouses, give up all the tasks you have taken so far, cancel the signed companion spirit contract, and delete the newly added friends in the list...but you probably haven't added any new friends. Right? Unless it’s a new bug.”

Yuan Zhou quickly said: "No, I haven't added it." He quickly threw out the items in the package, food and medicine to supplement the inner strength of life, lark fruit to increase the favor of spiritual things, equipment, poison, traps, all kinds of miscellaneous things Appear quickly.He took out one Ye Mu and put it away, saying, "The recovery was successful."

The Yinyulou ghouls who hadn't recovered their breath and the monsters who were pinned down on the ground stared at this scene dumbfounded.Only Li Huo and Xun Feng in the distance still had an earth-shattering fight with Ye Cang Qingguang.

Yuan Zhou threw away all the things in the package, rubbed his hands and turned around in a hurry, muttering: "The warehouse...the warehouse has to go back to the city for operation. I have given up on the task, the task. The Wanling system... the natal spirit is what I brought with me at the beginning. , I now have two companion spirits..." He said and was about to operate.Ye Mu watched his movements, his face remained unchanged, and he secretly tensed up.

Yuanzhou's movements suddenly stopped.

He looked around and looked at Ye Mu again, as if he only realized what he had done now.The frantic mood quickly receded, and his face became even paler than before.He looked at Ye Mu, with a swaying and hesitant hope left, and murmured a question: "Can you... really let me quit the game? You said you couldn't find me before, but why didn't you post a message on the world channel?" Information? Wouldn't I be able to see it right away?"

Ye Mu didn't show the slightest panic, and replied calmly: "You should have experienced the actual effect of speaking on the current channel, right? The game company feels that if the world channel is opened, the data affected by each speech fluctuates too much, so it is still in the test. Because you logged in by accident, I don't know if you have this test function. I don't have this function on my account."

Yuan Zhou forced a smile on his pale face, as if he was trying to convince himself, he said: "That's right. Don't be surprised, I am. It was so sudden that I couldn't believe it. I want to ask in detail , when the time comes to exit the game, how exactly do you want to do it?"

Ye Mu said: "When your account returns to the closest to the initial state, after checking that there are no omissions, I will try my best to adjust the state of the game world to be close to the state when you logged in. Re-complete the Tianyan Bagua Formation and reproduce your In the scene when you log in to the game, turn on the transmission so that you can exit the game smoothly."

Yuan Zhou said: "That's it...it sounds pretty reliable. If you want to complete the Tianyan Bagua Formation, you have to let Lihuo and Xunfeng go..." He suddenly said, "I'm not reluctant, after all This is a game after all. The main reason is that you also know that there are many liars in the game. It is easy to cancel the contract of this thing, but it is difficult to catch it. I want to verify your identity first."

Ye Mu sighed inwardly, and asked, "How to verify?"

A cunning and cruel look flashed across Yuanzhou's face. He pulled out the long sword on his back and asked Ye Mu: "Can I kill you once? I haven't died before, so I don't know. But as a player, you Can it be revived?"

The atmosphere froze for a moment.After a long time, Ye Mu sighed and said, "I'm really not good at lying." He raised the long knife in his hand that he hadn't put away to Yuan Zhou.

Yuan Zhou's expression became distorted, he pointed his sword at Ye Mu tremblingly, and asked unwillingly, "So, you lied to me? Did you not quit the game?"

Ye Mu looked at him without hesitation, and said in a deep voice: "You would make such a request, but you know it in your heart, don't you? You always knew that this is not a game at all."

"Shut up!" A non-human roar came from Yuanzhou's throat, and he attacked Ye Mu with a ferocious face!

The two knives crossed to hold Yuanzhou's long sword, Ye Mu thought, it's almost time.

On his map system, the green dot representing Jiang Wang had already reached the valley where the demon camp was located for a long time.

Jiang Wang let Jia Luo land some distance away from the valley.

He sneaked into the demon camp alone.

On the way to Changyi City by Jialuo, Ye Mu exchanged information about the Demon God with him.After learning that the demon god has a natal spirit "Hundred Tails" that can transform and die, he immediately connects it with Bai Wei, the leader of the demon guards next to the priest.After noticing the whereabouts of priests outside Changyi City, but not Bai Wei, they quickly discussed and decided to split up and take action.

Jiang Wang was not in a hurry to look for Bai Wei near the priest's quarters.To deal with a shape-shifting spiritual creature, acting rashly would only expose oneself.After wandering a certain distance outside the valley, he sneaked into the village guarded by the demon.

The man who was massaging his many tentacles one by one in the room raised his head vigilantly, and looked towards the door, his gray-black eyes sparkled with purple brilliance, and the huge tentacles swam into the shadow of the room, ready to go.

The visitor knocked on the door politely, and then pushed open the door unceremoniously.

Jiang Wang stepped into the door, blocked the drawn tentacles with his scabbard, and said straight to the point: "Wang Tianliu, help me to meet Bai Wei and hold him back—you know the name of the big man who abducted you is Bai Wei right?" ?”

Surrounded by tentacles, Wang Tian straightened up and looked down at this familiar monster. Although he had already got rid of the psychological influence exerted by Youmeng Mo on him, he was still uncontrollably hostile to it.Not attacking is his last restraint.He laughed angrily, "Why?"

"With him as the priest, we can save Wei Wei's life after death." Jiang Wang ignored those tentacles that were about to move, strode over and dragged Wang Tianliu away, "Because I saved your life before. People want Knowing how to repay your kindness, isn’t it?”

Wuyou stayed in a daze, and walked out with him involuntarily, while asking: "You saved me? When?"

"The village you were born in. When you eavesdropped on my conversation with the demon, you were too close." Jiang Wang said as he walked, and dragged him neatly into the shadows to continue on his way. "The wind direction has changed, the demon I will smell you. And not only did I not expose it, but I also covered it up for you, which of course saved your life." He put his hand on Wang Tianliu's shoulder lightly, and asked softly, "Will you repay the favor?"

For some reason, I shuddered.Wang Tianliu carefully recalled the scene at that time, and found that it was indeed the case, so he nodded hesitantly and said, "Okay. You can't hurt Bai Wei."

"I promise he'll be alive." Jiang Wang said, retracting his hand on his shoulder, and pushed him, "Go, I'll follow you in secret. Remember, no matter what you're talking about—stop him. "

As the "holy son" sent by the demon, Wang Tianliu has a certain amount of freedom.

After he left the village, he asked to meet the leader of the demon bodyguard "Bai Wei", and was taken outside the priest's house.A demon guard entered to report, and walked out the door after a while, saying to him, "Follow me."

Taking him to an empty room, the demon guard said to him: "Wait here." He was about to leave.

Wang Tian took a step forward and said, "Bai Wei, where are you going?"

The demon guard stopped, turned around and said, "You're mistaken, I'm not Bai Wei. My lord will come later."

The brilliance of You Zi's eyes flowed, Wang Tianliu looked at him for a moment, and said affirmatively: "No, you are Bai Wei."

The succubi's eyes can see through camouflage, and Baitail's illusion has no effect on it.

Seeing his determination, Bai Wei no longer denied it, and asked, "What do you want from me?"

Jiang Wang, who was hiding in the dark, locked on the target.

He was finally able to separate his mind and miss Ye Mu on the other side.

The battle between Ye Mu and Yuan Zhou was not difficult.

Under the protection of Lihuo and demon guards, the priest hadn't done anything himself for too long.He had already been hit repeatedly, and he was mad with anger, and Ye Mu cheated him out of all the supplementary life and battle props he carried before the battle started.The monsters were immobilized by the demonic energy, Lihuo and Xunfeng were also entangled tightly by Ye Cang, and they were not allowed to return to rescue - when the priest personally issued the order to send them out, he never thought that he was doing it for himself. Ring the death knell.

In the battle that was out of order, he quickly became overwhelmed and wanted to retreat, trying to escape with the sword flying into the sky.Ye Mu threw the knife fiercely, piercing through the chest from behind.

Yuanzhou fell to the ground, and the long sword fell aside.He stared at Ye Mu resentfully, as if he wanted to engrave his appearance in his mind, struggling to say: "You will... regret it."

In the demon garrison, Wang Tianliu watched helplessly as Bai Wei in front of him suddenly covered his chest in pain and bent down, then his figure disappeared in a flash.In its place was a man who coughed and straightened up with a sinister expression, his expression changed involuntarily.

Yuan Zhou raised his head, and unexpectedly bumped into a pair of eyes full of crystal purple brilliance.

He was in a daze, as if he saw the person he loved and was intoxicated for a while.Hearing her ask: "What kind of spiritual objects have you contracted?" Then she bragged: "I caught Li Huo, and Xun Feng! And the 'Hundred Tail' you gave me, I have been keeping it. "

She seemed to smile, and said, "Then, can you give them to me?"

He said with some reluctance: "I can give you both Lihuo and Xunfeng, 'Baiwei', do you want to go back too?"

She acted coquettishly: "Give it back to me, okay. I'll give you another gift later."

Feeling a bit disappointed, he said, "Okay." Reluctantly, he terminated those contracts.

He said, "I want to see your face."

As the words fell, his heart ached, and the cold reality penetrated him with the cold sword edge of the iron.

He lowered his head and looked at the long sword in his heart, then raised his head and looked at Jiang Wang who was holding the sword.

He asked in surprise: "You, how dare you..."

The long sword was pulled out with blood, and this time cut his neck.

His eyes lost their light.At the last moment, he seemed to see something, moved the corner of his mouth, and showed a smile full of joy, and opened and closed his lips silently.

If Ye Mu is here, he can recognize that mouth shape, saying:

"exit the game."
