I'm running a safe house in unlimited streaming

They saw a picture.

That should be the scene four years ago.

The slender, handsome young man stepped into the darkness.

It was a twisted and strange world, the darkness under Xia Jing's feet was undulating like ocean waves, and the darkness above his head was like clouds blown by a strong wind.

In front of him was a mass of even thicker black, indescribable things.

The shape of that thing is a bit like a city, but it has ups and downs, as if it is breathing, it is a mass of living things.

"I am a god," said the mass of creatures.

Xia Jing stopped and looked at it with interest.

"Don't you bow down when you see me? You should beg me to let you go now." God's voice was a little tense.

Xia Jing smiled: "I thought players could leave directly after reaching [-] points?"

Not long ago, Shadow City seemed to go crazy, creating several difficult dungeons and sucking all players into these dungeons.

In the end, it seemed that only Xia Jing survived.

He was the only one who reached [-] points.

"It's all my gift," God said with confidence, "If you don't respect me, then I can take back my gift at any time."

However, this young man before God seemed not at all frightened or threatened by these words.

He raised his head, looked at the space, and said, "Is this your inner world, Jiang Ying?"

God immediately fell silent.

The shape of the black shadow changed drastically, as if the heart of a god was violently turbulent.

"I'm surprised why I know your identity?" Xia Jing cast his eyes on it and smiled, "Because that's your shadow, right?"

Twisted, weird, sprawling.

This black shadow that once made Jiang Ying himself feel afraid, has now become the support for his self-esteem as a god.

How long has it been since Jiang Ying felt fear?

Since the birth of Shadow City, he began to kidnap human beings wantonly.

He first carnivaled in the city where he lived, and as the fear, sorrow, and despair of those human beings were transformed into his food, his power became stronger.

He can even reach out to other cities, and suck those strangers into the City of Shadows without touching anyone.

That feeling is a bit like opening a blind box.

Jiang Ying enjoys the feeling of being the master.

This kind of pleasure made him go crazy. If he hadn't been so excited that he lost his mind, he wouldn't have done such a thing as generating several high-difficulty dungeons in one go and losing almost all the existing playthings in it.

But why was this young man able to arrive here?

Why did he step out of the dungeon, and when did he reach [-] points?

Jiang Ying didn't know, he didn't know at all!

When he opened his eyes and saw this figure just now, he only felt goosebumps popping up. He hadn't felt that feeling of fear for a long time.

This young man is dangerous.

Jiang Ying has long realized that Xia Jing is not as gentle as his appearance, nor is he as harmless as his shadow.

He'll be a fun plaything.

But if he steps up one level after another and stands in front of God, then he will become a completely dangerous element.

Jiang Ying began to regret it.

Maybe he shouldn't put on airs, he should just let the young man go.

No, no—he immediately vetoed this idea—once Xia Jing is let go, he will be in danger!

Although he could use his increasingly powerful power to erase all information about Shadow City in the real world, once this young man knew his identity, he would definitely have a way to kill him.

Jiang Ying's shadow oscillated even more violently, like a pot of black boiling water.

The young man took a step towards him and said: "This is your inner world, where the shadow is visible to the naked eye and touchable, so my 'cloud' is behind me?"

As if exploring a novelty, the young man raised his hand and touched the top of his head.

He seemed to have touched it, and sighed: "Ah, so it is this kind of touch."

It's a cold feeling.

Jiang Ying was terrified, he tremblingly said: "Don't come over, stop!"

However, Xia Jing continued to approach him step by step: "By the way, I've always been curious, is it only you who can drive the shadow by yourself?"

"Shadows are very interesting. Since they objectively exist in every human being, they should be useful to everyone."

To Jiang Ying, the gentle and melodious voice of the young man was a whisper from hell.

"After all, if the shadows of humans other than you can only be used to be seen by you and seen through by you, then how is your existence different from that of a god?"

Jiang Ying was completely stunned.

The handsome young man stopped in front of him.

He raised his head, pursed his lips, and said, "Unfortunately, I don't believe in the existence of God."

At this moment, Jiang Ying felt as if he was being pierced by a sharp sword.

He had nowhere to hide, and knelt down at the young man's feet mean and weak. The tall, giant-like young man looked down at him with a smile.

Jiang Ying lost his composure.

Anger, embarrassment, unwillingness, and malice surged into his heart, and he almost rushed forward without thinking, devouring the person in front of him.

……

In fact, even when Xia Jing raised that question, Jiang Ying's dull head never thought about that question.

——Only he, Jiang Ying, can see things like shadows, can they be driven?

Some people's shadows are ferocious animals.

Some people's shadows are distorted smiling faces.

Some people's shadows are romantic flowers.

Jiang Ying was indeed the only one who could "see".

But do most people really have no idea what kind of person they are?

Is there really no perception in the hearts of the people who get along with others about what kind of person they are?

No.

"Vision" is actually not the only way to analyze the essence of other people's souls.

There are many ways to understand and see through a person in this world.

Therefore, Jiang Ying's ability is actually not that unique.

And if this kind of shadow can become power and be activated, then how can it be possible that only Jiang Ying can do this?

As Xia Jing said, since a thing exists extensively and objectively, it must be useful.

And this kind of use does not mean that it is used by only one person.

The switch that activates the shadow should exist in everyone's body.

It's just that Jiang Ying has a supernatural power, and he can easily activate this switch.

For other ordinary people, it is very difficult to find where this switch is.

Xia Jing is an ordinary person.

But at the same time, he is not ordinary.

He finally found it.

……

Jiang Ying had also wondered in the past that Xia Jing's shadow was a cloud, how pure and harmless that cloud was, but why Xia Jing was so dangerous.

It wasn't until the moment Xia Jing was devoured that he suddenly came to his senses.

Xia Jing's shadow is not a cloud at all.

It was a cloud of fog that could change shape at will.

He doesn't have a fixed shape, he can turn into something that makes you feel harmless, or something that makes you fear him.

He can blend into the air silently, or suddenly condense in front of you.

It can get into any crevice, and it can smash the entire behemoth in a small way.

This is Xia Jing.

He controls your emotions and sets your behavior.

With his ever-changing and unpredictable gestures, he guides you step by step onto the road he paved, and he is waiting at the end of that road.

The moment you thought you had successfully devoured him.

He finds your leak, your crack, and he gets out.

Then, the cloud of fog opened up into a net, wrapping you tightly.

……

"Shadow is the true projection of man."

"Jiang Ying is a very weak person. His shadow and the power formed by the explosion of the shadow are just like him, like a sponge, like a piece of plasticine. No matter how hard I try, I can't crush him."

In the cave, Xia Jing said slowly.

"This is what makes him interesting. His weakness has become his protective color. I can't destroy him, I can only put him to sleep. That group of power is always floating in the air of the real world."

Afterwards, Xia Jing smiled.

He bowed his head to "Li Mian" and said, "But, you are great."

"You are very tough, sharp, like a piece of glass. You are very aggressive, but as long as I can wrap you around and apply a little force, you will completely shatter."

"Li Mian" clenched his fists.

Until this moment, she didn't know why Xia Jing said just now, the later Jiang Ying would never dare to kill him by "eating".

Although "eating" is different from "swallowing", this young man has already left an absolute psychological shadow in Jiang Ying's soul.

Once this young man is swallowed into the dimension of pure power, this young man can drive the shadow. As long as his misty shadow can find the slightest loophole, it will destroy the entire behemoth!

And she spent so much energy devouring Smiley Face City and transforming Jiang Ying's power into hers, but she still made a wedding dress for this young man!

The moment a powerful supernatural being awakens, his body will stop growing.

Her body stopped at the age of 13.

In the past more than ten years, she has used supernatural powers to control and fool many people. She never thinks that anyone can defeat her.

When she discovered the existence of Shadow City, she felt that she had found her paradise, her kingdom.

She activated this dormant energy.

At the same time, she also found that there were dissonant notes mixed in this mass of energy.

The chaotic zone in Smiling Face City was a loophole left by Jiang Ying.

She used to go through the dark and chaotic world, searching for the place where the dissonant note was.

She also had to admit that when she saw Xia Jing, she knew that this young man was anything but simple.

She fears him, be careful of him.

However, at that time, she would never have imagined that an ordinary human being could really destroy her to such an extent.

"Li Mian" stared at Xia Jing, and said, "...how did you find out my identity?"

Xia Jingdao: "The first time I realized your identity was when I discovered that in the copy of "Bionics", the power I felt did not come from Chai Feng, but from you."

At the end of that dungeon, Xia Jing clearly felt something touch his brain.

At that time, he thought it was Chai Feng's supernatural tentacles.

However, Bian Ya said that when Chai Feng's control ability was activated, it was like a gust of wind.

The blowing of the wind is imperceptible.

It's not that obvious.

——At that time, Chai Feng did try to control him, but the feeling he caught came from another person who was present at that time.

Who would that be?

Both Zhao Mingjing and Shen Bai were controlled by Chai Feng, and Deng Kai had already turned into the main monster, so Song Yang didn't need to mention it.

At that time, the only person left, the one who supported him by his side, was the innocent Tang Yi who looked so young that no one would doubt him.

"Your ability is to control emotions, right? That's why you can drive Jiang Ying's power."

Jiang Ying's shadow power is similar to the power of emotion. Later, this power absorbed the player's fear, sadness, and despair, which are the purest emotions.

This force is huge, but it is completely dead force, so Tang Yi can easily handle it.

The emotions of the living were different again.

It is true that once people's emotions are manipulated, their behavior will be easily affected, and they will become irritable and out of control.

People will fight each other, fight together, and kill each other.

This is probably Tang Yi's way of killing people with supernatural powers.

But at the same time, because people have wisdom and can think, Tang Yi will be very cautious about using abilities on living people.

When he was trying to control Xia Jing in Chai Feng, he dared to use his abilities to test Xia Jing.

His own ability was different from the power he used to transform Jiangying to attack Xia Jing, and he didn't have a very obvious route. As long as he used Chai Feng to block the gun, it would be difficult for Xia Jing to track down this power and trace his existence.

He perfectly hid himself behind Chai Feng, hiding his identity.

Just now, when the group of them were climbing on the rope, he attacked the only remaining abductee with a supernatural power.

Just because the abductee's emotions are the easiest to control, the other party will not wonder where his sudden irritability comes from, even if Xia Jingming said that he has been attacked with supernatural powers, it is difficult for him Calm down and think about it.

If you can't be calm, you won't be awake.

The other party would easily break down emotionally, causing riots, which eventually caused Lu Chenfei to lose a leg, weakening his combat effectiveness.

Then, he poured a lot of abilities into Chai Feng's body.

Chai Feng's sense of anxiety increased, his desire exponentially increased, and his abilities also exploded, so Tang Yi could use him.

But it was also because Tang Yi poured too much power into him. When Tang Yi was crushed and exploded by Xia Jing with his own strength, Chai Feng, who had endured a lot of his strength, couldn't withstand the impact and blew himself up.

At this moment, there are more clues connected in series.

You Ye said: "Your shadow is a doll wearing a tie. That 'tie' is actually a knife on your chest, right?"

It looks harmless, but it is actually the most dangerous existence.

Tang Yi probably stabbed her with that knife.

Song Yang said slowly: "When Lu Chenfei and I met you for the first time, you didn't seem interested in us, but after the copy of "Bionics" ended, you asked to exchange contact information with us. At that time, you should have kept your eyes on Xia Jing."

Thinking of this, Song Yang's eyes darkened.

The first crack in the safe house appeared after the copy of "Bionics" ended.

Thinking about it now, in the copy of "Bionic", Tang Yi had initiated the topic several times, bringing up the safe house.

This man has been spying on them.

After Xia Jing left the copy of "Bionic", he once felt a sight from an unknown source in the game lobby.

That gaze must also come from this child.

Lu Chenfei said coldly: "Speaking of which, when everyone was waiting for the four-star dungeon to be wiped out, the first thing this guy said when he found us was to ask where Xia Jing was. Did you ask knowingly?"

Tang Yi sneered.

This mood, how can there be the appearance of an innocent child.

The inside of this person is simply the soul of a distorted adult!

Fei Shengxiao said in a hoarse voice: "In the game hall, he and Mianmian have been standing together."

No one noticed the kid.

When Tang Yi stabbed the monster prop into Li Mian's body quietly, even Li Mian must have been caught off guard.

At this moment, Fei Shengxiao was only thankful that Li Mian's body was still intact.

Just now Tang Yi took advantage of Li Mian's body to cause chaos, and Lu Chenfei was so desperate to save her that he would rather lose a leg, presumably it was to preserve Li Mian's body.

At that time, they hadn't fully ascertained the truth, but Lu Chenfei didn't let go of any possibility.

Thinking of this, Fei Shengxiao wiped his eyes, and said, "But it's strange, I entered the dungeon a few minutes after you all, before I entered the dungeon, Mianmian was already in Tang Yi's body, right? There seems to be no response at all! When Jia Qing and I were discussing what happened to the extra quota, she didn't make a sound!"

If Li Mian could have told the truth in time, they would have known Tang Yi's identity immediately.

Xia Jingdao: "Once the player is forced to exchange souls by this kind of props, they will fall into the chaos of consciousness for a few minutes. She must have already woken up."

——In other words, everyone in the game hall must have known Tang Yi's identity!

Tang Yi suddenly said coldly: "So what? The game hall outside has collapsed, and players will return to the real world. I just need to stop the soul exchange and I can return to my body. When I get to the real world, you can't catch it anymore." Come to me!"

If he didn't want to know exactly where he fell because he wanted to die, he wouldn't have waited in this body until now.

After saying that, he grabbed the nail on his arm and pulled it out forcefully.

Blood splashed out, and Li Mian's body immediately fell to the ground.

From the beginning to the end, no one stopped Tang Yi.

Then he quickly noticed something was wrong.

The voice of the gods rang in their minds, gnashing their teeth: "What did they do?!"

He was bounced back!

He couldn't go back into his body, and Li Mian's body couldn't be used again because of the return of her own soul.

Now all his soul is forced to return to the godhead of this dungeon god!

He is trapped in this dungeon and cannot get out!

Feng Shi said: "Do you really think Jia Qing and the others are idiots?"

Bian Ya raised his eyebrows and said: "This kind of soul exchange item... As long as one of the players activates the protective item, the player's soul will not be able to return to its original position, right?"

Xia Jing said with a half-smile: "Ordinary protective props may not be enough, but top-level protective props are fine. Jia Qing bought a lot of weird props in my small supermarket."

Later, Jia Qing worked very hard to contribute the monster's body to Xia Jing. Seeing his good performance, Xia Jing finally gave him a small discount.

At this time, Li Mian who was lying on the ground moved and opened his eyes.

Those eyes were gentle, clear and calm.

This is the real Li Mian's eyes.

Fei Shengxiao finally rushed over, hugged Li Mian and cried, "Mian Mian, you really scared me to death!"

Li Mian was startled, pursed his lips and laughed, patted Fei Shengxiao on the back, and said to the rest of the people, "You already know the truth?"

"When Xia Jing appeared in the game hall just now, Tang Yi used props on me. When I came to my senses, I was already in his body, and Sheng Xiao had followed you into the dungeon."

Li Mian calmly and briefly stated the whole process: "I discussed with Jia Qing and the others. The initiative to exchange souls is not in my hands. We can only wait for you to find out the truth. At that time, Tang Yi may choose to pull out the soul." If he drops props and escapes back to the main body, we must stop him."

"Jia Qing happened to have a protective item that might come in handy. We agreed that the moment I left Tang Yi's body, he would immediately activate the item to prevent Tang Yi's soul from returning."

There will be a very short time gap between the two souls leaving their bodies and returning to their bodies.

This is their opportunity to seize.

But if Jia Qing's hands are slower, this plan may fail.

Fortunately, Jia Qing did not lose the chain at the critical moment.

"Just now the game hall started to collapse, many people left Smiling Face City, Jia Qing and the others are still waiting outside, trying to insist on waiting for you until the last moment."

"So," Li Mian wondered, "What progress have you made now?"

Hearing this question, everyone looked at each other.

Afterwards, Bian Ya smiled and said, "The big boss has almost been resolved, we should be considered...only the last main monster left?"

Lu Chenfei exhaled, and stood up straight with the help of the dirt wall: "Okay, now that we have reached this point, let's go back to the normal route of clearing the dungeon."

And the normal customs clearance dungeon route, that is naturally——

Bian Ya smiled and said, "Explore the map."

Feng Shi said in a deep voice, "Look for clues."

You Ye lazily said: "I got the answer."

Fei Shengxiao and Li Mian looked at each other, and smiled through tears: "Down with the monster."

Song Yang looked at Xia Jing and said, "Before we solve him, we have to find out how he got the props from Smiling Face City into the real world."

This is related to Ha Kyung's method of returning to the real world.

Xia Jing said, "No need, I already got the answer to this question."

Song Yang was taken aback.

Xia Jing raised the corners of his lips and said with a smile: "I'll talk to you about this later, let's get rid of this dungeon first."

After the last copy of Smiley Face City is closed, this treacherous city will completely disappear from this world.

Tang Yi has already lost the chance to return to his body.

He was trapped in the body of a god, and if Song Yang and the others successfully solved this dungeon, he would also be wiped out.

This made him go crazy: "Do you really think you can break this dungeon so easily? Let me tell you the truth. Although I have successfully captured the godhead, even I don't know the monster body of this dungeon at all. What is it! This is a five-star dungeon, don't think about it, you will be locked in this dungeon forever with me!"

Hearing this, Song Yang said calmly: "You took away the position of the god without knowing what it is? Is it possible that you have actually seen its body, but you didn't realize that it was its body?"

Tang Yi gritted his teeth and said, "Are you calling me stupid?!"

Xia Jing smiled and said, "Last night, you used a flashlight to illuminate the bottom of the corridor. What you were looking at at that time was definitely not the rising water. What did you see?"

Tang Yi paused, and said coldly, "Why should I tell you?"

Xia Jing didn't care, he continued: "In this world, although gods are not necessarily human, since gods have godheads, they naturally have shadows. And as the master in this dungeon, its shadows probably don't need to be used as NPCs. "Jiangying" wakes up, and you can be seen and touched."

"You saw a dark shadow on the wall of the corridor, right?"

Lu Chenfei thought of something, narrowed his eyes and said: "At the very beginning of this copy, the main monster said that it is the most special and supreme existence."

"If it is a player, if the shadow is attacked, the player will die. But if the shadow of the god is attacked, its body will definitely continue to survive - because at that time, the player has replaced its existence, its body At the same time, it has become another body of the player besides the main body!"

Bian Ya thought: "No, Tang Yi may not even have the shadow of attacking the gods at all, because he hasn't dealt with Xia Jing yet, so there is absolutely no way this dungeon will end like this. He may have just touched it out of curiosity. one time--"

At that time, he found a group of strange shadows. After the touch, Tang Yi's soul began to merge with the gods.

He can feel that he has become a god, but he doesn't understand the truth at all.

Song Yang said: "If the body of the god is very large, then it is impossible for you to not know what its body is. There is only one reason for this situation—"

"The real body of the god is very small. It was so small that it was connected to its own shadow at that time, and you couldn't find its existence with the naked eye."

Xia Jing walks towards Li Mian.

Li Mian was a little puzzled.

They heard Tang Yi's rapid and disordered breathing.

He seemed to realize something.

Xia Jing held the corner of his lips, and said in a gentle voice, "This underground world is very strange. It is connected to the ground, it is long and deep, there are often caves on both sides, and there will be a fork in the middle of the journey. All creatures need to keep climbing up."

"This strange underground world is very similar to an ant hole, isn't it?"

You Ye paused.

That's why she was able to see so many ants climbing up in the rain yesterday...

"As long as the player obediently abides by the rules, perhaps the player will be lucky enough to be blessed with the arrival of the gods—an npc once said so."

"What kind of player is called good? This may be difficult to define and distinguish."

"But the gods themselves will never go against their own will. Therefore, the player who has become a god may be the most well-behaved believer. The true body of the god will naturally come to this player."

Xia Jing raised his hand and reached for the hat on Li Mian's head.

Li Mian froze for a moment, then lowered her head cooperatively.

In everyone's mind, Tang Yi's breathing was extremely short, and he began to be afraid.

"This dungeon is very interesting. It is up to you to decide, and Jiang Ying's will to show the setting and content."

It is God, the arrogant and arrogant declaration of these two people.

They feel that supernatural beings are higher-level creatures that are different from ordinary humans, which is why Tang Yi prefers to recruit supernatural beings.

Among the supernatural beings, they are more detached and absolute existences.

"But the cracking core of this dungeon is made up of the ideas of countless players."

those innocent people.

Those who had suffered various tortures in the City of Shadows and the City of Smiling Faces, released emotions such as pain, despair, and sadness, and were ingested by Jiang Ying and Tang Yi as food.

Those who are still unwilling to give up their thoughts of life under desperate circumstances, struggling hard.

Their ideas were integrated into this huge force, and they gave a unique answer.

Xia Jing's slender fingers pinched a small ant that was slowly crawling on Li Mian's hat.

Tang Yi blurted out in horror: "Stop—"

In the next second, Xia Jing exerted a slight force on his index finger and thumb.

He crushed the little main monster's body between his fingers.

……

The only answer is-

There is no god in this world.

Only ants.
