Bai Lixin was tied up and led deep into the forest.
The leaves overhead flew past, and the commotion woke up the sleeping birds.
There was a sound of flapping wings, and amidst the rustling of leaves, crows made an eerie “caw” sound and flew away.
The faint scent of flowers entered Bai Lixin’s nostrils, and he looked down to see the green vines wrapped around his waist growing out flower buds one after the other. The buds quickly expanded and bloomed, instantly revealing the small flowers hidden inside.
These vines came from the depths of the forest, and at a glance, they looked endless.
S419M: [Lord Host, these vines show no intention of harming you].
The faint scent of flowers kept entering Bai Lixin’s nose. It was somewhat elegant, with a hint of sweetness.
Bai Lixin stared at the little flowers fluttering with the wind: [Well, I see it.]
S419M: [Not only do they have no intention of killing you, but this forest also seems to like you.]
The vines bound Bai Lixin’s wrists, ankles, and waist, but not his neck. He turned his head to look behind him and saw the areas he passed were slowly sprouting green leaves and colorful, pretty flowers.
The flowers stretched out as if they had a life, and slowly turned their bodies without wind, neatly and uniformly facing Bai Lixin’s direction. The layers of petals trembled gently, as if they were saluting Bai Lixin.
A subtle feeling flashed through Bai Lixin’s heart, and along with this subtlety, a familiar feeling grew.
Before he could discern the source of this familiar and reassuring feeling, the vines suddenly slowed down.
He pulled himself back from his thoughts, and when he turned his head to look forward, he found he was already in the deepest part of the forest.
Unlike the eerie surroundings, the deepest part of the forest was full of beauty.
The tall trees had been replaced by soft grass, forming a special circular space. Looking upwards, you could see the three months hanging in the sky.
A pure white moon, a scarlet moon, and a golden moon.
The three moons were not lined up in a row but rather resembled the three points of a triangle, with each moon appearing to be at the same distance from the other two.
He had made inquiries before leaving the palace, and they said the three moons had been hanging in the sky for a very long time.
The three fairytale worlds had been twisted and merged for a very long time.
The meadow was surrounded by a huge lake, which reflected all three moons on it. The water’s surface sparkled from the moonlight, and the rays were vaguely connected. From a distance, the lake looked like a magical array.
It was from this lake that the vines were extending.
The vines lifted Bai Lixin and slowly placed him on the grass at the edge of the lake.
They slowly let go and circled him affectionately before reluctantly retracting back into the lake.
With the vines gone, Bai Lixin finally regained his freedom.
He stood up with his hands on the grass and took a good look around him.
The wind had stopped, and the silence around him added a bit of mystery to this already special space.
Not far from the lake was a tall house with a faint yellow light coming from its windows.
Come to think of it, the witch must be in this place.
Bai Lixin turned towards the house and had just taken two steps when he heard a sound from the lake behind him.
As he turned around, a dozen dark green vines reached out from beneath the surface of the water.
The incoming vines were aggressive.
Bai Lixin’s pupils shrank slightly, and within a few seconds, these brand-new vines had wrapped around Bai Lixin.
At the same time, a hoarse, low voice burrowed into Bai Lixin’s ears, “Who are you?”
The voice was a little lazy, with a faint nasal tone, as if a nobleman had just woken up.
Bai Lixin’s heart, which had been calm, suddenly pounded twice, and he subconsciously swept his gaze around the surroundings but did not see anyone.
“Why are you looking left and right,” a thin vine branched out and slowly grabbed Bai Lixin’s chin. “I don’t like to repeat myself, who are you?”
Bai Lixin looked at the vine in front of him with some surprise: “…”
No way, it turned out to be a vine this time?
Good grief, he’s not a person once again.
“Hmm, is he mute?”
“Strange, why didn’t my vines kill you but dragged you here instead?”
The voice spoke up to itself, and at the same time, the vine pinching Bai Lixin’s jaw swayed from side to side, as if there were an invisible pair of eyes sizing up the youth.
Two more tiny vines reached out and came to Bai Lixin’s neck.
The tips of the vines pressed against the neck and trembled twice, as if some animal was sniffing.
The voice rang out again, “You smell so good, is this the smell that disturbs the judgment of the vines and the forest?”
“What spices are you using? Hand them over to me now.”
As the voice spoke, several vines moved into Bai Lixin’s cloak eagerly.
As the vines moved, the brand new cloak became a piece of rag, instantly ripping into countless scraps, and Bai Lixin’s clothes and hair hidden in the cloak were also exposed.
Four meters of hair instantly slipped behind him, and the vines all froze for a moment.
A moment later, the voice rang out again.
“Your clothes, you’re from the kingdom?”
The voice that had been lazy became dark, with a hidden sneer in it.
In the next second, the tentative vines quickly tightened.
“Let me see what treasures you are hiding.”
The man spoke nicely, but Bai Lixin could hear the gnashing of teeth in his mouth.
Bai Lixin was wondering what “treasure” the voice meant when a slight tingling sensation came up his arm.
When he looked down, he saw that the vines wrapped around his body were secreting slime.
The slime touched his clothes, and his clothes instantly disappeared.
As the fabric on Bai Lixin’s body lessened, the vines were like excited hyenas, frantically sniffing at his body.
The slime could only corrode his clothes, and it did not do any substantial damage to his skin, but as the slime increased, Bai Lixin felt the power inside his body slowly diminishing.
In his mind, he asked the escape system: [Is there a toxin in the slime? Why isn’t the anti-poison skill activating?]
Escape System: [Sorry, player Bai Lixin, because this is a time cage, some skills cannot be used at the moment.]
Bai Lixin: [Then may I ask, why the hell does the F- luck value still work?]
Escape system: [Luck value is an attribute, attributes are lifelong; they are like your soul and faith, they are always with you.]
Bai Lixin: [……]
I don’t want this faith!
—————–
The conversation between Bai Lixin and the system took place in a split second, and it was in that split second that his clothes were in what could only be described as rags.
The vines wrapped around his wrists and moved up them.
The rough and bumpy surface of the ground was softened by the slime, and instead of pain, there was a tingling sensation and, at the same time, a strange sensation from the place of contact with the ground.
The vines wrapped themselves around Bai Lixin and came to the surface of the water, the three moons overhead and the three moons in the water reflecting each other.
Bai Lixin, who was moving with them, was like a lamb to the slaughter, powerless to fight back.
The different colored lights of the three moons fell on Bai Lixin’s body at the same time.
In the pale moonlight, Bai Lixin seemed to be covered in a holy white light, but under the white light, his eyes gradually lost their focus.
The escape system kindly reminded: [Master Bai Lixin, although poison resistance can’t be used anymore, your healing cards can still be used. Are you poisoned?]
S419M coughed lightly, [System sister, please speak less if you can.]
Escape system: [????]
S419M: [There is a saying, “Desire to resist but still welcome,” learn it well.]
Escape system: [Oh oh, I know the meaning of this phrase. It means that you appear to be refusing, but you are actually willing, right?] The system instantly became excited, [So this is an example of “desire to resist but still welcome”! Brother, I will learn it and use it on you too, okay? Do you like these vines, or do you like other things? Tell me in advance, and I’ll prepare some more.]
S419: [????]
Why don’t you stop calling me Brother and call me Brother S? **This Probably means S&M
I’m not comfortable.
As Bai Lixin’s consciousness gradually blurred, a loud “boom” suddenly came from the distant house.
The next second, the vines quickly pulled away from Bai Lixin’s body, not forgetting to send him back to the shore.
“Well,” the man’s hoarse, slightly panting voice rang in Bai Lixin’s ears, “we will meet again, and next time, I will find the source of the smell.”
The moment the words died away, a dark shadow flew out from a towering house in the distance.
Before Bai Lixin could suppress the disappointment in his heart, the black shadow was already standing in front of him.
The moment the black shadow came, the vines completely disappeared into the pool of water.
With a loud splash, the water’s surface returned to its previous tranquility.
Bai Lixin pushed down his longing for Dijia and looked up at the black shadow.
The black shadow was not really a black shadow, but a giant black cloak wrapped around a body.
It was not difficult to tell that it was a man by the shape of his body and the way he stood.
The moment he saw the face hidden under the hood, Bai Lixin was slightly stunned.
Those familiar deep eyes looked at the lake in suspicion, then down at Bai Lixin, and finally their gaze fell on the four meters of hair behind him.
Bai Lixin could clearly feel that the pair’s eyes lingered on the hair for a long time.
The two men looked at each other, neither of them saying anything.
The next second, the man bent down and picked up Bai Lixin, transforming into a black shadow and flying back into the towering house.
With Bai Lixin’s departure, a layer of ripples appeared on the surface of the lake.
——————-
In the live broadcast room.
[What’s going on? God Xin seems pretty wasted in this copy. It’s just vines, the old God Xin could obviously chop them up in minutes and maybe even roast them with a bit of cumin].
[Well, there is a possibility that the vines are his old attacker.]
[Big boss: [Baby, someone asked that you add cumin to me.]
[Hahaha.]
[Did you guys get a good look at that dark figure? I just looked at the face, and although it was just a glimpse, I think it was him.]
[I saw it too, but the one in the lake and the one in the house don’t seem to be the same person.]
[So there are two attackers. Is this a continuation of the legendary shura field from the campus copy? I love it!]
[You guys only paid attention to the big bosses, but has anyone paid attention to God Xin’s hair? How long does it take to grow such hair? I’ve heard that the flow of time inside the time cage is different from reality, so how long has God Xin been in there?]
[Looking at the length of hair, it must have been at least fifty years.]
[Fifty years!]
On the 999th floor of the tower, the light in the man’s dark eyes shone for a moment, and then faded away.
The system’s voice rang out in the empty, dark room, [My Lord, you seem to be very sleepy lately. Twenty hours of the day are spent sleeping.]
The man habitually played with the pearl necklace in his hand; the pink-purple pearls were crystal clear and still slightly warm.
He immersed himself in the bathtub, and the pearls’ shimmering reflections fell impartially on the surface of the water, like little moons.
The man yawned, his somewhat lazy voice ringing out, “Isn’t it because of the sudden punishment last time that I have sleep inertia.”
The system’s voice was tinged with doubt. But more than two years have passed since the last punishment. Didn’t you hate sleeping before?]
Man: “It’s all thanks to you guys, it was because of that slumber punishment that made me find sleeping so comfortable.”
System: [So you fell in love with sleeping?]
Man: “Yes, I fell in love with sleeping.”
System: [So that’s how it is, got it.]
Strange, it felt like the sleep they were talking about wasn’t a thing.
System: [My lord, the master brain has almost collected enough energy; just a little more and it can complete further evolutionary upgrades, you must be looking forward to it, right?]
The man chuckled, and there was an imperceptible sneer in the fake laughter, “Of course, I’m looking forward to it. But you seem to have absorbed human greed while learning from human evolution. Greed will cause desire to be indefinitely released, and desire without limits will only lead to destruction.”
System: [No. Desire is an inferior quality that only humans have. We are learning to pursue and gain a human mindset; we don’t have human greed and our evolution is to make the world a better place. Please don’t confuse us with those atavistic things, we have a very different core.]
[Take the way we treat you; if you were human, we would have killed you a long time ago. But we didn’t, because we’re not emotionless beings, we’re rational-thinking beings. We have strict rules and systems so that even though you keep refusing to help us, we still treat you with courtesy.]
“Hahahaha,” the man suddenly laughed aloud as if he had heard a joke, he narrowed his eyes and looked up at the empty ceiling, his tone was full of sarcasm, “You call imprisoning me in here courtesy?”
System: [Because you are strong, if you were to be released, you would definitely ruin our plans. My Lord, those who know how to keep up with the trends are successful, take a good look, we are the perfect product of the creator, and only we can bring about the right future. Although you are still unwilling, we still heartily welcome you to join.]
[It is your privilege to simply say, ‘I will join you’ whenever and wherever you wish, as long as you see fit.]
The man put away his smile and stood up with a splash. He braced his hands against the porcelain white wall of the bath and walked out of the room wrapped in his towel.
In the middle of the room was a wall-to-wall screen with countless small images, each of which showed a person engaged in a demanding copy challenge.
In one of the unassuming corners, a dark figure entered the towering house carrying a youth in his arms.
The black screen had a description written on it: Time Cage: [Copy of the Fairytale World].
The man swept a seemingly unintentional glance towards it, then his eyes moved and landed on the next screen next.
In the colorful screen, a youth with a wicked and arrogant expression held a weapon in his hand that was decimating all the NPCs that were there without distinguishing between good and bad.
The system’s voice echoed in the air, [He’s excellent, isn’t he?]
[Physical strength and intelligence are all of the upper tiers, and he also adds boldness and doesn’t let his sympathies slow him down. He is a very strong learner and progresses quickly.]
[Bai Lixin’s achievements should have been better than his, but he is sympathetic, and this sympathy will eventually ruin him.]
The man stared at the “little overlord” that came out of nowhere, and then he frowned and asked, “This thing is your masterpiece?”
System: [Hee hee, worthy of being the number one player in the ranking, you could see it.]
[That’s right, this is a test subject that our main brain projected down, a brand new human. As long as this experimental subject can enter the 900th floor, it means the experiment is successful.]
The man’s lips pursed up as he sneered, “Dream on.”
System: [What do you mean?]
The man, “Do you know what you’re acting like? You are like three-year-olds, just becoming aware of yourselves, yet completely immature. You are curious about your surroundings but lacking in respect. You try things out in the east, and you try things out in the west. Sooner or later, you will be ruined by your own hands.”
“Three-year-olds are undisciplined, but the average three-year-old has parents and elders to teach and correct them.”
“But you are missing that benchmark, which puts you in danger.”
“Stop while you still can.”
The system’s voice suddenly became high, [My Lord, we will prove you wrong with facts!]
Dijia sighed softly, and his eyes were full of pity as he looked at the “little overlord” in the video.
Bai Lixin was tied up and led deep into the forest.
The leaves overhead flew past, and the commotion woke up the sleeping birds.
There was a sound of flapping wings, and amidst the rustling of leaves, crows made an eerie “caw” sound and flew away.
