Gate of Apocalypse

“Chen Xiaolian, you bastard! ”

At the entrance of a hotel in Bucharest, Chen Xiaoxiao showed up in front of Roddy and took a solid punch in the chest the first time.

Once Roddy had punched him, he didn't seem to have had enough fun. He reached out and grabbed Chen Xiaocai's collar and shook it back and forth: “Go to Brown Town and let me wait for you in Bucharest. It's only been so long! I can't even reach you in the system! I really thought you'd been killed by some guy if the system didn't have a warning to kill the captain! ”

“I... it was my fault for not telling you..." Chen Xiaocai smiled with regret. Roddy was rude, but he knew it was out of concern: "I entered a copy this time in Brown Town, so I couldn't reach you. ”

“Copy?” Rhodey stunned: “You were recruited by the system? Why didn't you choose me? There are others... Wait, are there any copies of the captain who can join the war alone? ”

“No, not a systematic call. It's a... taken over by two old monsters as a copy of the shelter... I said, do you really want me to tell you the whole story in front of this hotel?” Chen Xiaolian glanced at Roddy in a bad way.

“Ah… yes! ”

After entering the hotel with Roddy, in the room, Chen Xiaocai began to talk about everything he had experienced in a copy of Fort Brown.

“Wait... Wait!” Roddy heard half of it and stood up his palm in front of Chen Xiaocai, staring wide-eyed: “Are you saying that Tian Li is not dead?! ”

“It is not, to be precise, that he is not dead, but that he is resurrected. Like us, he became a loophole.” Chen Xiaolian smiled: “And you know him. ”

“Bullshit! Even the brains are out in the Tokyo copy, don't you know them?” Roddy glanced at Chen Xiaocai.

“No. What I'm saying is... you know him pretty well. To be precise, he knows everyone on our team quite well.” Chen Xiaocai smiled: “In fact, shortly before we came to Romania, you were still eating with him every day. ”

“You... what are you talking about!” Roddy stared wide-eyed.

“The Heavenly Man... was refreshed into an ordinary man after his death and became our friend.” Chen Xiaocai shrugged: “If you say that, you can probably imagine who he is, right? ”

“You… what are you saying...” Roddy even stuttered his voice: “Dagon? ”

Chen Xiaolian nodded, and Roddy's eyes were all staring out of his eyes: “You mean... that you saved from Han An, thin little, looks stubborn Dagang... is Tian Wei?! Chen Xiaoliang, are you kidding me? ”

“Am I the kind of guy who jokes?” Chen Xiaocai rolled his eyes: “Okay, keep your surprise. Hold your chin tight, because what I'm going to say next... might scare it. ”

“How can there be anything more surprising to me than just Dagon?” Rhodey whispers: “Go ahead. ”

“I saw in the copy this time, in addition to the sky, there is one more person. A man who is also awakened and resurrected.” Chen Xiaoliang smiled: “Do you want to guess? ”

“Guess what, you can't just... wait!” Roddy jumped off the couch, staring dead at Chen Xiaocai: “You... you... you... you mean... Nicole?! ”

“Happy?” Chen Xiaocai looked at Roddy with a smile.

“I... FUCK!!!! ”

Roddy gasped violently, dancing his hands and feet, twirling wildly in place and stopping for five minutes.

“Childish. ”

Always nestled in the corner of the other sofa, Dark Laurie, who focuses on playing mobile phone games, looks up, sweeps Roddy, cold lane, and lowers her head again to face the screen.

“Boo! What do kids know?” Roddy grabbed Chen Xiaocai's sleeve: “What about Nicole? Why didn't you bring her to me? ”

“See you for what?” Chen Xiaocai flipped her eyes: “You're just thinking about her alone. She doesn't have much interest in you. Can I force her over? Besides, when the copies were sent out, we were separated in different places, so I don't know where Nicole was. ”

When he saw Roddy, Chen Xiaolei smiled and added: "But... you won't have a chance to see her again. After all, Nicole was with us... just like Daikon. ”

“Who! Who!” Rhodey is going crazy.

“The yoga coach from the yoga studio across the street from the gym seems to be called... What was his name again?” Chen Xiaoliang deliberately frowned and thought bitterly.

“Leaves... Leaves? That hot, cheeky chick? Is she Nicole?” Roddy's about to faint.

“Mm-hmm. Sounds like a name. ”

“She... what does she mean?!” Roddy screams: “He's resurrected, but he's hiding his identity, sneaking up on us, and he won't tell us! ”

“How do I know.” Chen Xiaocai shook hands: “But she did say something. I hope you don't get too upset after listening. ”

“You... go ahead! ”

“She said, 'Me, I know what Roddy's thinking, but I didn't think about it, I don't know what to do with him. You know... we don't really have a very deep relationship together, and the contact time is very short. Although it was a matter of life and death, it didn't take many days. Well... it's always embarrassing. When faced with him, if the other person feels deeply for you and you don't think about it that deep. Maybe it's good not to see each other. ’ ”

After Chen Xiaocao finished, he watched Roddy's expression sink a little. He sat on the sofa and the whole person was paralyzed.

“Hey, I told you not to be too sad. ”

“I know. The question is, how can you control this? ”

“At least she's still there for you. You're not totally hopeless. ”

“Mmm…”

“Well... let me give you another piece of good news. ”

“Say…”

“I... got a way to resurrect Jojo. ”

“Ohhhhh!!!! ”

Roddy was still in Ge Yu's paralyzed position on the sofa. He answered with impatience and stood still before reacting. He jumped up: "You, you... you got a way to resurrect Jojo?! ”

Chen Xiaocai smiled: “In that copy this time. ”

“But...” Roddy rubbed his face: "The last time you came back from Zero City, you just said you knew there was such a possibility! How could it... How could it be so fast! And this time in Romania, you're not here about Jojo! ”

“It can only be said that… it was a mistake. In fact, even if I found the Phoenix and the Master Zebei, I didn't figure out what Mr. Umbrella really wanted us to do. It must be a pleasure to have Jojo's resurrection. And... although I already know what to do, I'm afraid there's still some trouble. ”

“What trouble? ”

“Forget it... let's not talk about it. It's just my own concern.” Chen Xiaoliang shook his head: “Let me tell you first how to revive Jojo. ”

In the corner, Xiu Xiu did not know when she had dropped her phone and looked up quietly at Chen Xiaolian.

“Remember that life hymn score we got in a copy of Jerusalem? ”

“Remember.” Roddy nodded: “The prop that keeps the soul and gives the game participants a chance to come back to life. ”

“I met two old monsters in that copy. I mean, very old kind.” Chen Xiaoliang took out the Lifestyle Praise score and put it on the coffee table in front of him: “One of them helped me fix the original residue to a complete state and added some improvements. ”

“What improvements? ”

“Ability to allow maximum resurrection time for game participants beyond the silent judgment period of the system. ”

“I... didn't understand. ”

“Once you've picked up the Lifetime Praise score, you can see the system's description of it. ”

Roddy nodded and picked up the Lifetime Praise score from the coffee table.

At the moment it was just touched, the system prompt appeared in the interface.

[System Tip: You pick up the special item "Life Praise (Fragment)".

Life hymn score: Record the designee's name, temporarily store the designee's life in the score, and act as a puppet. The puppet can exert 90% of its combined strength. Upon the death of the puppet, the holder of the movement may choose to resurrect the depositor.

This item can store up to life (03).

SYSTEM NOTE: The Lifetime Songs Storage Grid 1 enters the cooling phase and must not store new life forms until the cooling time is over. The cooling time remained at 1221 hours.

The deposit rules are as follows:

1. The maximum limit of three persons per storage life form cannot be exceeded.

2. After storage of life, it costs 200 points at a time for single use. Single use is defined as' Storage - Resurrection Cancel Resurrection Cancel Storage ’.

3. After each storage, the storage time is limited to 240 hours. After the time limit is exceeded, an additional 100 points per hour will be spent, calculated in hours, and less than one hour will be calculated in hours. If the registers are deducted from a small number, the registers will be erased directly. Failure to opt for resurrection or cancellation after more than 100 hours will automatically erase the organism regardless of whether it is deducted from a certain number. Time consumed disregards the difference between replica time and time outside the replica, whichever is the system countdown.

4. The prop holder may cancel the deposit at any time during storage. After the cancellation of the deposit, the puppet automatically becomes the body, restoring the full combined combat power.

5. After each register is used, enter the cooling time, the cooling time is 24 hours, and during the cooling period, it shall not be used. Time and cooldown can be calculated separately for each register cell.

6. Residential life forms, properties at the time of storage, including all positive and negative attribute effects, will be completely inherited. During storage, after resurrection or cancellation of storage, regardless of all the positive or negative effects suffered by the puppet during storage, the status of the pre-storage organism shall be taken as the basis. ”

“Wait... Wait... I don't get it here!” After reading the system instructions over and over again, Roddy shouted inexplicably: “Since the time limit for storage is 240 hours, how can it be said that more than 100 hours from now we will have to erase the organism? The next 140 hours, is that what it was for? ”

Chen Xiaocai smiled: “This is what the upgrade means. Do you have any idea who defined the 100 hours? ”

“Isn't that... this Lifetime Praise score item?” Rhodey frowned.

Chen Xiaolian shook his head: “No. 100 hours is the limit of the system. Anyone, whether a player, an awakener, or an ordinary person, including those with our vulnerabilities, will be convicted of total death for more than 100 hours, and any resurrection props will not be used and will be wiped out directly.

We don't know where the player will go after being wiped out. It's the upper world thing. But it is clear to us that the annihilation of the awakener is to refresh into the ordinary. So neither type of person goes into the trash. But when a dead ordinary person dies, the system ‘deletes’ him. Just like we use computers. ”

Chen Xiaoliang explained the metaphor of the red-haired woman in the “recycling bin” to Roddy again.

“I guess I get it.” Roddy nodded: “But the problem is... the 'Trash' will be emptied. Are you sure... Jojo is still there? ”

“No." Chen Xiaolian stretched out his hand: “We don't know how often the system will clean up the trash bin or when it will be emptied next time. Maybe a month later, maybe a year later, maybe a day later. ”

“Could it be that… has been emptied?” Roddy rubs his hands in a hurry: “Then what are you waiting for? In case Jojo is emptied..."

“You don't think I'm in a hurry? I used it once in that copy, so it's still cooling. It will take half a day for my name to be written again.” Chen Xiaolian smiled bitterly: “I have already tried, the grid of the Lifetime Praise score, although the cooling time is calculated separately, it is for different users. Once it has been used, it cannot be achieved within 24 hours even if you want to fill in your own name in a storage cell that is not cooled. ”

“Got it.” Roddy nods: “But if that's the case, how do you get Jojo back? Dead people don't even have names on this parchment, do they? ”

“Of course not by writing your name in the outside world. I don't know what to do, but there must be a way. Just wait till I get to the trash. ”

“Are you so sure? ”

“Well, because I can now be sure that someone has done it. is 100 percent certain. ”

“Are you saying that someone did go into that trash and... bring back a dead loophole?” Roddy was surprised: “Who is it? ”

“Yes.” Chen Xiaoliang nodded, but suddenly a little tired appeared on his face: “Okay, let's do this first, I have to go to bed. ”

Without Roddy's refusal, Chen Xiaocai had stood up and walked towards the door without answering his second question.
