*"Hahaha, we've all been fooled, there are no ghosts at all!!!"*
*"Fooled, we've all been fooled, there are no ghosts at all!!!"*
*"This is a map where death is certain, there are no ghosts at all!!!"*
*"Hahaha, ridiculous, how ridiculous!!!"*
"..."
A trace of shock slowly passed through Chen Yi's eyes, as he realized that the room before him was a replica from an unknown ti. Reincarnator? What was a Reincarnator?
It sounded a bit like those infinite loop novels he had read.
People needed to stay in a space and continually enter replicas to gain enough strength? This room gave him the feeling of sothing out of an infinite loop novel.
He even knew the content of this replica. There were a total of 18 players, with one being the ghost. The players needed to kill the ghost to successfully leave the replica and return to the Reincarnation space.
But obviously.
All the players in this map had been annihilated; all 18 were dead.
And according to the blood-red writing left under the wall, it seed that there were traps in this replica; they were all players, with no ghost present.
A replica without a ghost, which led to mutual slaughter under the rules, resulting in complete annihilation?
Although he didn't know when this replica was created, for so reason, he had a premonition that the players in this replica were all from the Blue Star Race.
They just weren't from his batch of the human race players.
They were from even further back, from before the historical records of Blue Star. Ever since he discovered that tomb deep beneath the sea, he knew that there were signs of large-scale human existence before the recorded history of Blue Star.
It's just unknown why they beca extinct and then, after an unknown period, humans evolved once again.
In the history of Blue Star, humans had never been completely extinguished. Since their birth, they gradually beca the Overlords of Blue Star, but it seems now that in actuality, the Blue Star Race had been eradicated many tis; they just managed to cling to life by a thread or, because of so other opportunities, a new Blue Star Race erged.
—And then—
As Chen Yi tentatively stepped into the room, he saw additional writing on the wall that he couldn't see before, writing that was even more neat, standardized, and extrely square in block style.
It looked very cold.
"Inspector No. 02891, begin the backtrack."
"Map rules: Among the 18 players, one player is the ghost. Kill this ghost to leave the replica and return to the Reincarnators' space, but the prerequisite is that the ghost knows it is the ghost, and only then killing the ghost will be counted."
"The one chosen to be the ghost was a 26-year-old young woman from Qishan City."
"Under extre fear, from the mont she entered the map she was in an emotional breakdown, weeping incessantly, never once checking her personal panel, nor knowing she was the ghost. Under these circumstances, she was killed by other players."
"Therefore, the map fell into a state without a ghost, leaving the remaining players trapped within, unable to leave, resulting in mutual slaughter until complete annihilation."
"Backtracking complete. No bugs appeared in this replica; no repairs necessary."
"The team wipeout is the autonomous choice of the players."
"This replica has been permanently sealed."
"..."
Chen Yi looked at the writing on the wall, his eyes narrowing slightly without speaking; these words likely explained why these players died here, but there was another question he had not cleared up: why did each player's eyes carry that ambiguous gaze, as if half-corroded by desire, huddled together?
He could understand the smiles on everyone's faces.
To prove they were not the ghost, after all, the replica's rules stated that a ghost could not smile.
But he couldn't comprehend why everyone was eroded by desire—that was sothing he couldn't understand. What was the reason for this?
After observing for a mont at the entrance of the room, Chen Yi stepped back out, his head bowed in thought without speaking. He had probably figured out the situation, or more accurately, he had a guess, but he felt this guess was likely accurate.
"Confird."
The Tuberculosis Rabbit, who had also finished observing, nodded seriously and said, "This is the infinite loop, exactly like those infinite loop novels I've read. These Reincarnators linger on the brink of life and death in various replicas, then return to the Reincarnation space to beco stronger."
"It's just that I didn't expect such a thing to actually exist."
"I always thought this thing only existed in novels, but when I think about it carefully, I can understand. After all, even ga leveling up can exist; then a Reincarnation space that allows Reincarnators to beco stronger is also quite normal," he said.
"One thing I'm very curious about is, if this ga leveling up and the Reincarnation space were to et, which one would be stronger?"
"There's no need to compare,"
Chen Yi said calmly, shaking his head, "If I'm not mistaken, both are created by the sa group of people. Do you rember what I saw at the bottom of the sea?"
"There was soone called the Overlord who gathered the remaining power to start researching how to dissolve the power within Deities to distribute to mortals, allowing them to beco stronger and to quickly screen for beings that could fight against Deities. However, I heard it's quite cruel; many people will have to die."
"If I'm not wrong, this Reincarnation space was created by the sa people, using this thod to screen for those who can stand against Deities."
"But obviously, they failed."
"Hence the ga leveling up appeared, and whether it's the ga leveling up or the Reincarnation space, the ultimate goal is to screen for the so-called God Slaughterers."
"But..."
The Tuberculosis Rabbit hesitated and then said, "Hasn't the screening already been done? Jiang Chenglu can already slaughter gods, right? And he has succeeded, which ans isn't one enough?"
"Not sure about that,"
Chen Yi shook his head, "We still know too little."
...
In the following period, the entire Blue Star began to frequently discover ruins left behind by the Reincarnation space.
More precisely, these were permanently sealed copies.
But whether by accident or not, these copies, which had been permanently sealed at so unknown ti, all burst out during the this update failure, and most copies contained only corpses, creating an extrely tragic scene. Besides that, there was nothing else.
But so curses, unknown to people, drifted toward the Blue Star.
For example...
In Black Trench City, at a barbecue stall, seven or eight n huddled around a table, which was cluttered with chilled beer and skewers. The burly man at the head of the table, looking sowhat excited, thumped his beer cup heavily on the table before raising it mid-air.
"Damn it, the no-drinking rule in October really stifled , but finally it's November. Raise your glasses, for tonight, we shall not rest until we're drunk."
No sooner had he spoken than several bare-chested n around him echoed in agreent. However, one of the n hesitated and said, "I heard the update failure caused a lot of trouble, unfurling many curses from unearthed copies."
"Isn't it bad timing for us to be drinking now?"
"What's there to be afraid of?"
"Co on, cheers!"
No sooner had he spoken,
than one of the n at the table toppled over as if unable to hold his liquor, blurry-eyed and faint.
"This guy, what a lightweight. Co on, let's continue, cheers once more!"
Another man blurred and fell over.
"What's going on? Since when did these two beco so weak? Co on, let's go again."
Yet another man likewise toppled over, unable to hold his liquor.
In just a short ti, the table that had been surrounded by seven or eight n abruptly had only three n left.
At this mont, the burly leader who had been sitting in the place of honor also realized sothing was wrong. He looked toward his two remaining brothers and tentatively raised his cup, hesitating, "The three of us, cheers?"
"Thud!"
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, one of the last three n also thumped to the ground.
"Boss!"
The only remaining man, who had initially suggested that it was not a good ti to drink, looked at the boss with a pale face and trembling voice, "Let's not continue, put down the cup. If we keep going like this, we'll all be down!"
"This isn't cheers; this is 'falling down'!"
"It's clear we've been cursed!!!"
