Gate of Apocalypse

Chapter 417 [The Man Who Painted Heavenly Blade]

The door of the room is closed.

Chen Xiao Liang looked at the setting of this room, which was already the second time he came here, and suddenly there was a strange feeling in his heart.

If it weren't for that fat fuck that night, if it weren't for picking up that old painting in the room...

Chen Xiaolian walked into the kitchen, found his own cup, poured a glass of water on the faucet, slowly drank it, walked back to the living room and sat on the couch.

“Come on, what are we talking about now? ”

Skyknife did not immediately answer this question, but instead asked: “Can you tell me how you became now… I mean, you are not an awakener, what is it? ”

Chen Xiaocao also did not answer this question.

“Okay.” The tone of the knife seems a little blunt: “Perhaps this question is a little too deep, perhaps it's your biggest secret. I didn't mean to pry into your secrets, this is… this is my last wish. ”

Chen Xiaocao still didn't speak.

The heavenly knife continued to speak for itself.

“… Back then, I was angry, leading those old brothers in a copy, succeeded once, then entered Zero City, and our strength grew stronger and stronger - no, to be precise, I challenged the resident team in Zero City for the future development of the team, then a series of difficult and dangerous obstacles, finally recognized by other resident teams, and qualified Zero City resident team.

I was always excited. I think I have gained a long-term peace and stability for myself, or for my brothers on the team. Zero City, in my opinion at the time, was undoubtedly the safest place in the game world. ”

Chen Xiaocai heard this and snorted: “You mean, a refuge? ”

“Exactly, a refuge, a... extraterrestrial source. ”

“And then what?” Chen Xiaoliang asked silently.

“Then… of course I was wrong. ”

Chen Xiaocao noticed that the word "of course” was used in Tianjiao.

“Of course”!

“At first, everything seemed fine in Zero City and everything was just as good as I thought it would be. It's safe here, and there's competition, but at least, everything is under our control, and we're at least free —— it looks like this.

But very quickly, I gradually felt less and less comfortable.

We're here as a refuge, but why not a cage?

This place is safe, the outside world is dangerous, all we have to do is hide here and don't go out - don't go out! What's the difference with jail?

And outside, we are under the control of the world's master system.

How can we escape the Zero City system here?

This thing, at least in Zero City, I don't feel much. ”

Chen Xiaocao did not speak, he listened carefully.

He felt acutely that this was an opportunity. An opportunity to learn about Zero City.

From the mouth of Zero City's top S-level experts, from the mouth of a resident team leader, listen to Zero City, the opportunity to hear exactly what's going on.

Heavenly Blade's words continue.

“… If Zero City is safe and a refuge, I first asked myself a question… So how did Zero City come into being at the beginning? ”

Chen Xiaoliang smiled intently: “How did it come about? ”

The heavenly knife sighed: “No one can make it clear. ”

He paused, adding: “Everyone in the Zero City, including the Presbyterian Church, says the same thing… Ray is the same, but vague.

The unanimous recognition is that a long time ago, a group of powerful awakeners, in order to escape the constraints of the main system, went through a difficult and dangerous obstacle to create an extraterrestrial source of Zero City… this was a great and groundbreaking achievement.

But who is the creator… we don't know.

And where did those creators go after that, why didn't they stay in the woods - we don't know either! ”

Chen Xiaoliang was silent.

He may know more about this than Skyknife.

Skyknife suddenly asked Chen Xiaoliang a question: "Have you moved? ”

Eh?

“Moving.” Skyknife Cold Road: “That's when you used to live in a house and move out and change houses. ”

“Uh... why is that suddenly a question? ”

Skyknife grinned, “It might be interesting to move. Think about it: If you have a house and you want to move out of it... then at least one problem can be explained. ”

“What is the problem? ”

“Description that this house is not good enough. ”

Chen Xiaoliang suddenly stopped talking.

“If we see Zero as a house… then why did the owners of the first houses leave? Moved? Doesn't that mean that, in the eyes of the first owners, this house is not good enough?

Maybe they got a better house? Better Refuge, Better Outside Peach Source?

Otherwise, why would they leave?

Isn't this house good enough? Not safe enough? ”

Chen Xiaocai thought about it: “This explanation is kind of interesting, but... maybe they didn't want to move, but... maybe they died? ”

Skyknife laughed: "Dead? Okay, so the problem is more... they're dead, how? Why can't any of the people in Zero City understand this later? Seems like everyone doesn't know much about it.

And also... Since Zero City is a refuge, why do people still die in the refuge?

If the people in the shelter will still die... then isn't this shelter safe at all! ”

Chen Xiaoliang silenced down again.

“Have you ever been to war? A real battlefield.” Skyknife asked coldly.

“There was a battlefield in the copy… Cold weapons. ”

“I've been to a real battlefield, not in a copy, but in a real one. I was a soldier before I became an awakener.” The heavenly knife hummed, but slowly said in a very solemn tone: “On the battlefield, I had an experience. We will dig our own cat's earholes, dig shelter, dig bullet pits, and use them as defensive shelters...

On the battlefield, would I give up a bunker or sanctuary I dug myself up?

Of course not!

Unless... this bunker is already in danger! Unless I know it, this refuge will never be able to avoid enemy fire!

That's when I'm leaving!

So... I think the people who created Zero City back then... maybe I thought the same thing. ”

Chen Xiaocai was surprised!

He was so surprised he couldn't even speak!

Skyknife certainly doesn't know the story of Mr. Umbrella's group.

But with these logical speculations alone, he speculated on Mr. Umbrella's interpretation of Zero City!

This is very close to what Mr. Umbrella said!!

Zero City... is not safe!

“So you… decided to do something?” Chen Xiaocao asked.

“Yes, it took me so much thought and effort to get our brothers into Zero City and qualify as a permanent team... I * * * * * * don't care how glorious the resident team qualifies for what a shitty Zero City.

What I care about is, I want to find a safe way out for myself, for my children, for my brothers!

A future! A future where you don't have to worry about it and you don't have to worry about it!

At first I thought Zero City was what I was looking for.

But then I found out more and more that Zero City couldn't meet my goal.

So I started looking for something new.

I was wondering, where did the first Zero Cities go? Perhaps... the answer lies with them! ”

Chen Xiaocai sighed: “You... found the painting? ”

The knife silent for a moment and finally admitted: "Yes, I found the painting. ”

Chen Xiaocao asked: "Where did you find that painting? ”

Skyknife laughed bitterly: “In a copy, I met a very powerful opponent, one that I couldn't even beat with all my might.

That guy should have had a chance to kill me-- that's a little discouraging to say, but that's the truth.

At the time, I was already S-level, but I wasn't his opponent.

At least I can't beat him.

We seemed to hit a tie, but I always had this strange feeling that he seemed to be able to kill me, but he didn't.

Later, when I was almost exhausted, he suddenly stopped and asked me a question.

I remember very clearly when he asked me, "Would you be sorry to die here right now?" ”

Chen Xiaoliang stunned.

His face became strange.

What kind of question is this…?

“The other party is… the player?” Chen Xiaocao asked.

“Why do you say that? ”

“Because… the most powerful awakeners are in Zero City and can outcompete your opponents, I think it's the players' camp.” Chen Xiaoliang speculated very firmly.

The heavenly knife seemed silent for a while, but gave a strange answer.

“Maybe… well, I'm just not sure. ”

Chen Xiaocai stopped again. Half a minute later, he asked: “Then what? ”

“When he asked me that question, I replied," I regret that I have not been able to find a safe place for my brothers.

And he listened, and he kept asking me, "You're from Zero City, isn't Zero City safe enough for you?" ”

Chen Xiaoliang's eyes shine: “What did you say? ”

“I replied: A cage-like ghost place, safe as shit! ”

“And then what? ”

“Then...” The tone of the knife suddenly became uncertain, he whispered: “Then he let me go. And gave me something. ”

“The painting? ”

“Yes, that painting.” The sound of the heavenly knife is a little confusing and helpless: “He said to me," You're the only person in the Zero City I've ever met who hasn't broken his mind.

And he gave me that painting, and he asked me, "Do you want to find a real safe place to stay?"

I asked him, "Zero City, okay?"

He said he didn't know either, but for sure, it was closer to the truth than Zero. ”

Chen Xiaocai's eyes contracted and his chest fluctuated: “Did you take the painting? ”

“Of course I did, by then I had fought so hard, if I refused, I would probably be dead, so why didn't I? But after he let me go, he left me a message saying," This painting is just a clue that can help me find another clue, and the other clue is... an umbrella.

If I could find that umbrella, maybe I'd be closer to the truth. ”

An umbrella!

Chen Xiaolei withstood the impulse in his heart and said, “Who is the one who... painted you? ”

“…” The Skyknife paused again for a few seconds: “I don't know who he is. ”
