Gate of Apocalypse

Chapter 257 [Us?!

Mr. Umbrella is smiling.

“S, A… what is the level? It's just a system of rules. Does it matter?”

He had already stood up, slowly walked to the wall, opened the wardrobe, removed a long trench coat from the inside hanger, put it on slowly, and put it on slowly, while swallowing the tone: “Mr. Chen Xiaolei, if your problem is only so shallow, then our conversation seems to be over. ”

“Wait, wait! ”

Chen Xiaocai was in a bit of a hurry and stood up with him: “I have so many more questions to ask you! ”

Mr. Umbrella thought, "Well, there's still a little time left. ”

Chen Xiaoliang thought hard and took a deep breath: “What exactly are you...? Player or awakener?

I mean, the London copy, are you a participant too? But why are you staying here? As a matter of principle, the rule of copy is that non-participants are not allowed to enter the copy.

But why are you in the London copy too? Did you participate in this copy as well? ”

Mr. Umbrella smiled.

“This question just seems to ask a little bit about the idea. ”

He had put on his trench coat, walked to the table, slowly held the teapot, walked to the sink in the room, poured the tea inside, and slowly washed it with fresh water.

He moves very slowly and carefully.

“Mr. Chen Xiaolei, before I answer your question, can you tell me that you exist in this game… what is your personal goal? ”

Chen Xiaoliang stunned.

My… goals?

“I want to live and protect my companions. Well, no, not to say protection, but to be with my companions, to lead my companions, to live together!” Chen Xiaolian said firmly.

“Nice goal. But... then what? ”

Mr. Umbrella stared at Chen Xiaolian.

Chen Xiaoliang stunned.

And then what?

This question, Chen Xiaoliang suddenly found himself unable to answer.

“Copies will always go on, and so will the game. You struggle one time, one time, but you're still bound by the rules of the copy.

It lets you enter the replica whenever you want.

It gives you trouble whenever you encounter it.

You win one time, you succeed in completing a copy...

But then what?

Where is it at the end?

If it's a long run. So... where is the end of the race?

Mr. Chen Xiaoliang, how many copies have you survived so far? ”

Chen Xiaoliang thought about it.

First desert island palace, then Qin Imperial Mausoleum, Tokyo copy, London copy.

“Four." Chen Xiaoliang took a deep breath.

“Oh, just one short to become a senior.” Mr. Umbrella smiled slightly: "For a newcomer, your grades are good. He survived four copies and also had his own team.

But what I want to ask is… how long do you think you can last?

Four copies later?

Ten or twenty? Fifty?

Or a thousand?

10,000? ”

Chen Xiaocao was speechless.

“This is a line with a starting point but no ending point.” Mr. Umbrella sighed, taking the washed teapot and cup to the table, removing a clean cloth, carefully wiping one clean and neatly arranged, while continuing: “You have no right to stop. Nor is it ever possible to see the focus. This race... never ends.

Do you know what that feels like? ”

Speaking of which, Mr. Umbrella's eyes finally revealed a faint back.

“I can't see the feeling of hope. In front of the road, it's dark and you can't see the light. ”

Chen Xiaolian's heart was heavy.

But after all, it was a young man, and this melancholy emotion came and went quickly, and he shook his head immediately: “What does this have to do with me asking your question? Mr. Umbrella.”

“What are you asking me? But what are you? What's the point of your existence? What is your goal?” Mr. Umbrella smiled softly: “Instead of asking me, you're asking yourself. ”

Chen Xiaojiao Yi.

“You've seen it. ”

Mr. Umbrella means looking into Chen Xiaolian's eyes for a long time.

“It?” Chen Xiaoliang was a little confused.

“Running the program, um, or... according to the habits of you young people, it should be called GM. You've seen it, right? ”

Chen Xiaoliang's body shocked!!

GM!!

This Mr. Umbrella knows GM exists!!

“You… how do you know?! ”

Mr. Umbrella did not speak and looked quietly at Chen Xiaolian: “What did he say to you? ”

Chen Xiaoliang hesitated for a moment.

Mr. Umbrella smiled.

“In theory, the system is everywhere, and the rules of the system are everywhere," he said softly. GM is everywhere. Except for the replica time in this region, it cannot participate. In this world, normally, it's a running program that monitors everything, every word you say, every field you see, every thought you think about, it senses.

But... what I'm telling you now, for the time being, is that you're here, by my side, talking, doing things that it won't know.

Even…… the system will not know.

I mean, do you understand? ”

Chen Xiaoliang shook up again!

“You... you mean. Can you block the system?!! ”

“No, not shielded, to be precise, but hidden, hidden.” Mr. Umbrella sighed: "We are all too weak compared to the system. Weak as a virus in a computer, the system searches for us with antivirus software all the time, looking for us. But we can escape. Well, maybe that's a metaphor. ”

Mr. Umbrella looked at Chen Xiaocai: "Answer my question first. ”

Chen Xiaoliang hesitated for a moment.

Then he stared into Mr. Umbrella's eyes and suddenly a strange thought arose in his heart!

This thought tells itself: Now, it's best to be honest with the man in front of you! And, it seems, this is an opportunity for you to spy on some unknown secrets!

Extremely rare opportunity!

“Okay, I'm telling you! ”

Chen Xiaoliang resolutely made up his mind.

……

“… GM said it would give me some help to destroy the player from completing the task in some copies, similar to a game, so that no one could pass through. Because once all copies are switched on, the system refreshes automatically.

As a GM, it evolved into self-consciousness and was erased into the initial state because the system was refreshed.

For it, it was‘ death ’, so it chose me as its partner.

Well, try to delay the final refresh coming. ”

Chen Xiaocai said all of this so hard, then stared closely at Mr. Umbrella and carefully watched Mr. Umbrella's expression change.

He was disappointed.

Mr. Umbrella's expression… no change!

He just listened quietly, indifferently, without even a slight change in his eyes.

Until Chen Xiaocai finished his speech, Mr. Umbrella smiled slightly: “Are you finished? ”

“Well, that's it, pretty much.” Chen Xiaolei nodded.

Mr. Umbrella silenced down.

He suddenly closed his eyes like he was thinking or remembering something.

A few minutes later, Mr. Umbrella laughed.

He opened his eyes.

“I'm sure… still like this. ”

Chen Xiaolian's heart moved.

He captured the key point of the sentence:

“Or” like that!

Meaning…… still this way?

That means... something like that... has happened before?!

……

Mr. Umbrella suddenly walked up to the window and tightened his trench coat collar: "Time is running out, so I'll try to answer some of your questions.

First of all, you ask me what is it?

Of course I'm not a player.

Oh, I'm certainly not an awakener either. ”

By the time I heard about this place, Chen Xiaoliang's face had become incredible.

Next, Mr. Umbrella's words, make Chen Xiaolian even more mute!

Mr. Umbrella pointed to Chen Xiaolian's nose: “You must have guessed. I'm actually just like you. ”

One, the same?!

Same... BUG?

The same…

Vulnerable!!

……

“It's a real nostalgia.” Mr. Umbrella smiled with a smile: “I remember when I was as young as you, at the earliest, as simple as you, so... childish.

Childish and almost cute. ”

Chen Xiaoliang did not speak, he held his breath and did not dare to miss every word of Mr. Umbrella!

“At that time, I was as young as you are.

Young people, who are not always willing to think too much, get caught up in this game, in the beginning, my thoughts are about the same as yours.

Well, struggle, fight, live! Make yourself strong.

Because at the time, I felt that it was only when I was strong that I could protect myself and be able to live longer in this replica game!

I was so simple back then.

Well, pure, maybe it means less trouble. ”

Mr. Umbrella's tone was as if he was remembering something.

Chen Xiaoliang asked cautiously: "Then what? ”

“Then I met it. No, to be exact, it found me.” Mr. Umbrella narrowed his eyes and smiled at Chen Xiaolian.

“GM?”

“Well, that's your name, just in my younger days, I thought it was God.” Mr. Umbrella laughed, "Isn't that childish? ”

“ ………… ”

“It said to me that I was the one it chose, let me work with it. It would give me some help, of course, quietly, not to be discovered by the development group —— that is, by the creator I thought at the time.

In general, it's the same thing GM said to you.

We do our best to get the copy done and keep the player clear so GM can survive and keep himself from being refreshed - that is, dead for it - because the copy is all beaten up.

In the beginning, we did quite well.

After all, with GM help, it's like opening a plugin. With a GM to help us cheat, our strength was quickly strengthened. ”

“Wait! You mean ‘we’?!” Chen Xiaolian looked at Mr. Umbrella.
