Vol 2 Chapter 367 Darkness and Void

He hadn’t contacted him yet, but instead he sent himself a designated transaction first?

Li Zheng opened the trading floor, found the prop, and his eyes suddenly froze.

“This is… the component of the final seal of the mysterious declaration!”

There are three layers of seals in the mysterious declaration. Li Zheng has successfully unlocked two layers. The third component has no clues, so he can only try his luck.

As a result, there is nowhere to go after stepping through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it?

[Candle that cannot be lit

Grade: Platinum

Type: special props

Description: A candle that burns halfway, can no longer be lit, and perhaps has some other use.

Effect: The carrier will not encounter wandering creatures at night.

Big Collector Lao Pu: Oh hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo! Looks like you’ve collected enough components?

Then open the last layer of seal!

Let us be healthy, the long-awaited key, where does it lead to! 】

“This attribute… can also be called platinum?”

Li Zheng was lost, just to avoid encountering wandering monsters, and was rated as a platinum-level item?

Which of the several characteristics of the death declaration obtained at the beginning is not better than this cow?

It’s nothing but silver!

What a nonsense!

Li Zheng said: I don’t understand, but I’m shocked!

I took out the mysterious declaration and candles and put them together. They were attracted to each other, and they seemed to want to actively merge together.

At this time, a prompt popped up in front of Li Zheng:

[Is it a fusion of mysterious declarations and unlightable candles?

This fusion may cause unexpected results, please operate with caution. 】

Looking at this prompt, Li Zheng paused subconsciously, and then chose OK.

Now that we have it all together, then of course choose fusion, otherwise why waste so much effort to collect it?

[Confirm fusion. 】

[Successful fusion, trigger the hidden effect of the mysterious declaration, obtain: Lantern Bearer]

【Light Bearer

Grade: unknown

Type: Props/Proof

Description: From the mysterious Lantern Bearer organization, get it and you will be the next Lantern Bearer. It is also the secret key to the Lampholder’s headquarters. 】

“…”

Li Zheng carefully looked at the properties of the lantern that fell into his hands, but the appearance did not change, and made sure that he didn’t miss a word.

“Nima! What a mess?! Why are all the features gone?”

A piece of sky-defying equipment, after unlocking all the seals, turned into an ordinary lantern?

How is this accepted?

“Could it be that you have to enter the headquarters of the so-called lantern bearer to regain those characteristics?”

Li Zheng urged the lantern in his hand according to the usage method.

The next moment, the lantern lit up, the scene in front of him changed instantly, and he came to a dark space.

Carrying the lamp, Li Zheng turned around, except for the bluestone slab under his feet, there was no trace of any buildings around.

Every time he went a little further in one direction, the darkness would become a physical presence, bouncing him back.

“What’s the situation? The lamp holder’s headquarters is actually empty?” Li Zheng was a little puzzled.

Suddenly, he moved in his heart and looked up.

At this moment, all eyes are full of stars.

“This is…” The starlight was too far away, and Li Zheng couldn’t see the attribute information.

“This is the dark world. Every light spot on your head is a node.”

A familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him.

Li Zheng turned around abruptly, but saw a handsome looking man in black dragon armor with no hair on his head and face coming over.

“you…”

“!!”

Li Zheng looked at him and was startled, this person looked exactly like him!

This is so **** handsome!

“Who are you?” Li Zheng subconsciously looked at the prompt interface of Eye of Preles, where it was quiet, and Lao Pu dropped the call again.

Gan!

These eyes are really unreliable, and the chain falls at a critical moment!

“Who am I? To describe it with your concept, maybe my name should be: Xu. You can also call me: X!”

“Void?” Li Zheng clenched his hands vigilantly, empty!

He panicked, and he couldn’t get in touch with the capsule residence here?

That’s right, he came in with the capsule unfolded, so naturally he couldn’t get in touch.

But it’s a bit too much to not be able to contact the magic knife, right?

That guy has a mind with him, and even if the residence is unfolded, it should arrive at a single thought.

Xu Qing smiled and said: “Are you looking for the bloodthirsty demon knife just now? Give it up, in the dark world, you can’t bring in everything from the outside!”

“Dark Realm… You have said the Dark Realm several times. What is the Dark Realm? And the node you just mentioned, what is it?” Li Zheng asked tentatively, seeing that Xu didn’t seem to be malicious.

“The dark world represents nothing. It looks like there is, but it’s actually nothing.” Xu waved his hand, and Li Zheng looked down. The original bluestone floor had disappeared, and only a piece of ‘black’ remained.

“As opposed to the dark world, it is the world when you came, where it stands for being! And the terminal that you are familiar with at ordinary times, opposite to me, is called: real. Or, it is another X!” Xu continued said.

This set of false and real, whether there is or not, gave Li Zheng around the seven turns and eight turns, and his head is about to grow.

“But when I came in, it was clearly called the lamp holder headquarters, not the so-called dark world.” Li Zheng shook the mysterious declaration in his hand.

“Oh, did you say this is the lamp?” Xu pointed it lightly, and the lantern disappeared: “Look, it’s gone.”

Li Zheng: ???????) What are you…”

I finally put together the components, opened the door here, and you lost the light for me with the touch of your finger?

You’re so easy to beat, you know that?

“It’s not just that lamp.” Losing the lantern to illuminate, this place was completely plunged into nothingness, without light, Li Zheng found that there was no sound or even air, and the sound of emptiness seemed to sound directly in his mind.

“Even you and I don’t exist in this world, I don’t believe you touch your body.” Xu continued to ‘speak’.

Li Zheng was reminded by it, raised his hand and touched the direction of his body, and went straight through it.

Do not!

Not only was his body gone, he even felt that he had only one consciousness left.

This kind of feeling is very strange and strange. He can clearly know that he has a body, but he can’t perceive the body, but he can transmit the idea of ​​​​moving the body.

He tried to make a fist, and his fingers didn’t feel touch, but he knew that he was holding a fist, but that fist didn’t actually exist.

“This… what’s going on?” Li Zheng was stunned, this phenomenon was completely beyond his comprehension.

“This is ‘nothing’. I just let you experience that even consciousness doesn’t exist here, but unfortunately you don’t remember experiencing it yourself. Because that feeling doesn’t exist for you, it’s nothingness.” The voice continued to come.

“So… the concept of nothing can be explained by death?” Li Zheng tried to understand this concept in his own way.

“It can also be said that nothing includes ‘death’, but it does include ‘life’. Let me show you a fun one.”

After Xu finished saying this, the light suddenly reappeared, Li Zheng lowered his head, still holding the lantern in his hand.

It was as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.

“Look.” Xu raised his hand slightly, and a ripple appeared between the two “people”.

After a while, a figure jumped out of the ripples. He was nervous and scared, and kept thinking about it.

“Don’t shake, don’t shake! If you don’t run, you will die! Ah!!”

The next moment, his figure dissipated and became another person.

“No! I’m not reconciled! How could I die here, in the hands of this garbage?!”

After that, he also disappeared and turned into another man who was somewhat similar to him.

“Hehe, winning the king and losing the bandit, if it wasn’t for that idiot Lin Fan, how could I have been defeated?”

He also disappeared.

After that, one figure appeared one after another, and Li Zheng watched it all in shock.

Because he knows all these people!

The first is the player who was killed and devoured by “Chen Xiao” by the desert fire scorpion. Li Zheng was once sentimental because of his death. It was also because he discovered his ID card that Li Zheng experienced a so-called “death”. “Don’t feel anything.

The second was Lin Fan. He seemed to remain at the moment of death and shouted an unwilling declaration.

The third is Lin Feng…

Then there are Okamon to the left, Okasaka Hikawa, Umekawa Kuko, Kato Junhe…

Some of these people died at the hands of Li Zheng, and some were not.

But the common feature after they appeared was that they did not realize that they had been dead for a long time, and their thoughts still existed at the moment of death.

“Are these… souls?” Li Zheng murmured. If so, maybe there is a way to turn reality into reality and resurrect some people?

“It’s not the soul.” Xu smiled: “These are just the little marks they left when they turned the real into the virtual.”

“If it wasn’t for your arrival, which made the Dark Realm a little more insignificant, I wouldn’t be able to show you those marks just now.”

just imprint…

Can’t be resurrected.

Li Zheng was a little disappointed. He thought that he could bring back some players from here.

Now it seems that even if they are fished back, they will only repeat what they were like just now.

Described in easier-to-understand words: their souls are no longer complete, leaving only the memory of the moment of death.

Even if it looks like this, what’s the point of taking it back?

Li Zheng shook his head, shook off his distracting thoughts, and asked, “You still haven’t told me why this place is called the Lamp Holder Headquarters?”

“Is that important?” asked inexplicably: “You only need to know that this is the dark world, and it is also called the headquarters of the lamp bearer by some creatures, isn’t it?”

“Not enough, I want to know more!” Li Zheng said: “I want to know how the creatures before me got in here, and… what happened to this lamp!”

Li Zheng looked a little stubborn at this time.

“Wow, you really… broke the casserole and asked to the end.” He smiled helplessly: “It seems that you won’t give up if you don’t explain it clearly.”

“Before you, there were indeed some creatures who inadvertently entered here. They have a common feature, that is, they have no entity themselves, and belong to a unique life form between the virtual and the real.”

“Between the virtual and the real… I seem to have met…” Li Zheng frowned: “Walking in the abyss?”

“Well… it seems that a guy of such a race did break into here.” Xu’s face showed a displeased look, “That is a rude guy who was imprisoned here for a long time by me, and was later given to another by me. A nice looking guy…”

“Speaking of which, the lamp in your hand was built by that guy later. Taking the abyss walk as a guide, using the stable virtual and real characteristics of this race itself, it shuttles between the dark world and the real world.”

These false remarks have solved a doubt that Li Zheng had before.

That is, when walking in the abyss, after taking out the lantern, he actually sucked the other party clean.

It turned out that the abyss walking here with the lantern is actually equivalent to a special kind of lamp oil, which belongs to a state of complete restraint.

“Then the so-called lamp holder is an organization created by the person who built the lamp?” Li Zheng continued to ask. He wanted to fundamentally understand the reasons for the disappearance of several characteristics of the mysterious declaration in this way.

“It’s not an organization. Let’s say, the lamp holder is actually an identity. As long as he holds this lamp, it represents the lamp holder.” Xu explained a little, it should see Li Zheng’s purpose, and said bluntly: “If you want to know why the characteristics disappear, don’t be so circumspect.”

“When this lamp was built, it was originally used as a key to enter this place. Those characteristics are just a means to lure you to collect all the components and arrange them.”

“It’s like when you fish, you have to give the fish a bit of bait, and the fish will be hooked.”

“When the fish is hooked, will you still feed the fish?”

“Of course, it’s just an analogy in a way you can understand, it doesn’t mean you’re a fish.”

The meaning of this passage is that if you were not told how insane and useful this item was, would you be eager to collect it?

Li Zheng also recalled it at this time. He felt that several characteristics of the mysterious declaration seemed to be specially prepared to find other components.

Whether it’s more than ten night explorations, or 90% chance of encountering players, or getting more props from the player’s residence.

Even the last half of the candle is for safety during night operations.

In contrast, that “hi plus one” feature is the bait in the “trap”.

Induce the player to keep looking for others, when necessary…

Murder!

Everything seems to be arranged very reasonably, and it is guaranteed to the greatest extent that this prop will eventually be assembled.

When the “trap” catches the “prey”, there is no need for the trap to exist.

Because this is a one-time trap, it is enough to catch the “prey” once.

“So every player will have a lantern holder?” Li Zheng said thoughtfully: “When all the players in that session graduate from the matrix, or die, the lanterns will be separated again and spread to every corner of the matrix, waiting for the next A player to **** and fight?”

How is this setting ~www.readmtl.com~ similar to Dragon Ball?

“Although it’s not hit, but it’s not far.” Xu smiled mysteriously: “The original intention of this lamp was not to require you to kill each other, but there was an accident when it was created, and some strange things were mixed in. thing.”

“The first lamp holder originally wanted to let your latecomers use peaceful means of trading to collect components, but the materials and time were not enough to make another lamp, so he reluctantly spread this temporary defective product. .”

“I haven’t seen that guy since then…”

“However, from time to time, there will be various creatures that come here with lanterns, and you are the most special one of them.”

The most special one?

Li Zheng’s heart moved, and he had already guessed what Xu wanted to say.

“Although I don’t know how you got the components of this lamp, but you are the only player who came here with the lamp, but you have no blood on your body.” Xu showed a satisfied look and praised, “You, very good! Qualified to know some secrets and benefits of the dark world.”
