Gate of Apocalypse

Chen Xiaoliang slowly opened his eyes and the first thought that came to mind was - am I alive?

He sat up quickly and looked down at his body.

Without any missing arms or legs, even the Sword in Stone is still in his hand.

Underneath, there is a lush green grass surrounded by endless voids.

Himself... back in room zero?

Chen Xiaoliang slowly stood up and was in a state of suspicion.

Dewey Ming said it would cost your life to start refreshing singularities!

But now I'm clearly alive.

Everything I just went through... is it just a dream?

“Don't doubt it, it's not a dream. ”

Dewey's voice rang behind her.

Chen Xiaolei turned back sharply and saw Dewey behind him.

It's just his face, but it's ugly.

Previously, even after it appeared in white, Dewey was only slightly impatient, but now, that calm smile had disappeared.

“Refresh… failed?” Chen Xiaoliang frowned.

“No.” Dewey thought, shaking her head slowly: “But it wasn't entirely successful. At the last moment, the development team sensed the refresh and forcibly terminated it. You got your life back. ”

“What about the people in Zero City? How are they doing?” Chen Xiaocao interrupted Dewey's words.

“Almost everything has been restored. The killings caused by the whitewash have been wiped off the timeline, those people have been reset, and the memories of that time have ceased to exist. For them, everything is still on the time node when the system has just stopped responding.” Dewey slowed down: “As for whitewash, he should have been your soul again by now. ”

Chen Xiaoxiao checked his personal system, and he did return to his system from scratch, showing it as a state of war spirit: “What will happen to him... in the future? ”

“As long as you don't put it out here again.” Dewey's answer soothed Chen Xiaolian: “Room zero is the most special place in Zero City. If the Palace of Changsheng is the power room of Zero City, then this is its bridge. Although we have never had Zero City clearance before, we have left him a place. It was this that temporarily freed him from the constraints of the system, restored his divinity, and liberated his power. Well... part of the power. I don't suppose you'd be fooling around again, letting it out here again. ”

Chen Xiaoliang pondered: “I understand. Since everything's fine, what's wrong with that? ”

“That order.” Dewey sighed heavily: "The command you gave to open all the external channels, it was not refreshed back to its initial state. I think by the time you opened the corridor, the development team had noticed that the Zero City entrance was open. They do not care about everything else, but in any case, they must ensure that the Zero City is destroyed. ”

“So now…”

“Now, I think the electronic champion has begun to assemble. And the man...” Dewey had a strange look on his face, kind of like he was laughing, kind of like he was helpless: “He wouldn't miss this opportunity. ”

“Chen?” Chen Xiaolian nodded: “I remember you just told Bai that when you gave up Zero City, everyone wanted to monopolize the singularity, but no one had the ability to monopolize it, so they left it in Zero City. So now..."

“You're right.” Dewey nodded slowly: “He has… the ability to have exclusive singularities. ”

“What happens if he gets singularity?” Chen Xiaolian frowned.

“I don't know.” Dewey shook his head: "But one thing's for sure, he wants something different than us. Our ultimate pursuit is simply a complete escape from the constraints of the system. But he..."

Dewey thought, “He's not the same species as us. ”

“I understand.” Chen Xiaoliang nodded: “Whatever the loophole or the awakener, they belong to this world. They want nothing more than to be systematically enslaved. But I couldn't figure out what he wanted as a player. ”

Dewey looked at Chen Xiaocai and suddenly laughed: “No, he's not a player either. ”

“What do you mean?” Chen Xiaolian stared wide-eyed and had some numbness on her scalp.

Chen is the leader of the Thorn Blossom, which is known to all the awakening worlds.

How can a player team leader not be a player?

Or... if he's not a player, what would he be...?

“He was one of our companions. If he's really a player, how can we build a Zero City with him?” Dewey sneered: “We always thought he was a loophole. And he, too, has always behaved like a loophole. For example... after he kills a player or an awakener, he also drops a metal ball. He did so well that none of us realized at the time that he was actually a different kind. ”

“So… what exactly is he!” Chen Xiaoliang squeezed his fist tight.

“He's... GM.” Dewey looked at Chen Xiaolian, whispering: “The first generation, and all the GMs behind it, are different GMs. ”

“Different?” Chen Xiaoliang frowned: “What does this mean? ”

“I don't mind telling you. But do you really have time to listen?” Dewey shook his head.

“Shit!” Chen Xiaoliang rebooted his thigh, which reacted.

The refresh was blocked by the development team, and although it survived, the order to open the external channel still existed and could no longer be revoked.

“There is now no way to stop the forthcoming invasion.” Dewey Bittersmile: “According to my guess, the system should have released a mission by now to organize players to take over Zero City. And Chen... must be on his way to invade. Everything we have just done seems useless. ”

“No… not useless.” Chen Xiaocai bites his teeth: “At least they're back! As long as we live, there is hope! Just get out of the Zero City before the intruders arrive. ”

“Do you really think they might listen to you?” Dewey picked out the eyebrows: “How much have those teams gained in Zero City over the years, and now you just let them give up on your empty teeth? Do you think you have that prestige? ”

Chen Xiaoliang was silent.

“Besides, you can't keep all the memories that just happened.” Dewey's next sentence gave Chen Xiaoliang a shock.

“Why?”

“Because… you can't let Chen know that you have the authority. Otherwise, he'll definitely try to get it from you. If Chen wants to catch you, he will catch you. Unless... he thinks you're an unimportant, negligible target.” Dewey's expression is serious: “And the best way to stop a person from revealing a secret is for him to completely forget himself. ”

“Why did he get authority from me?” Chen Xiaolian is a fog: “He is one of the founders of Zero City and should have had this privilege long ago! ”

“His permissions have been removed. Although seats are still reserved.” Dewey turned his head and glanced at the slabs and seats behind him: “Otherwise, how do you think he's been blocked out of Zero for so many years? ”

Looking at the way Chen Xiaocai wanted to go on, Dewey shook her head: "If you're really going to save those people in Zero City again, then you shouldn't be chatting to me here. ”

“One last thing.” Chen Xiaocai bit his teeth: “You said before that if it was a normal death, I could see the dead vulnerabilities, right? ”

“Yes.” Dewey nodded: “But you don't want to buy just one one-way ticket, do you? ”

“What do I need to do if I want to bring people back? ”

Dewey smiled, "Even if I told you now, can you remember? ”

But he went on to say, “Don't worry. If you can really get out of Zero City, I'll let someone else you trust tell you what to do. ”

“Who?”

“Mr. Umbrella. ”

“Okay.” Chen Xiaoliang nodded: “How can I delete my memory? ”

“Zero will help you do it, all you have to do is give him an order.” Dewey closed his eyes and opened them again a moment later: "I promise I'll tell you what I want to know when we meet again. ”

“Everything?”

“Everything." Dewey nodded: “Now, order Zero City to erase your memories and try to save Zero City people. Then... it depends on your luck. If you can escape from the hands of Tatsune, then we will meet one more day. ”

“Okay.” Chen Xiaoliang sighed: “I hope you're not lying to me about all this, and I hope you can keep your promise.

Zero City! Delete all memories after finding my location! Then send it back to the room where I was. And...

Do everything you can to stop Chen from getting your authority! ”

“Take orders, they are being executed. ”
