In the live broadcast room.

[This is a really long wait. ]

[Four days have passed, is it still a black screen? ]

[Four days and I’ve already finished a copy. ]

[Four days, you’ve finished your copy but no one was aware. Do you know why you can’t be popular? ]

[Hey!]

The barrage on the live stream was boring. Li Cangshan had just come out of a beginner’s copy, and he opened the voting column and voted for Bai Lixin.

On the voting list, Bai Lixin’s ranking has jumped from the twelve position to the top eight.

He sent a message to Li Cancan: [Sister Cancan, I have already reached the eighth floor. I noticed God Xin’s ranking is much higher. ]

Li Cancan: [Congratulations! Yes, he is the spiritual sustenance to many people. After getting stuck in this game and facing pressure for a long time, who doesn’t want to calm their brains and have a little fairy love? ]

Li Cangshan: [Can God Xin come out? The task seems to be going nowhere. Isn’t love wasting his time? The big boss seemed to be delaying the time. ]

Li Cancan: [Don’t worry, I have had such concerns before, but after watching for a long time, you will find that the big boss is measured. He never holds God Xin back and also helps him a lot. ]

Li Cangshan: [So he is God Xin’s backer? ]

Li Cancan: [I can’t say that, I feel that the two of them are cooperating and are on equal footing, so it’s hard to say who is backing who. ]

Li Cangshan: [Who is this big boss anyway? ]

[…] Li Cancan was silent for a long time before sending a sentence to Li Cangshan: [I don’t want to lie to you; players are speculating that he is an NPC or a staff member, but I think he is neither. If he were an NPC or a staff member, his internal drive should be to serve the game, but he is either neutral or biased toward God Xin. ]

[His behavior does not conform to these two speculations. It is more likely that he is a certain player or an existence hovering between a player and staff. ]

Li Cangshan read Li Cancan’s words and was dazed for a long time. He didn’t expect such an explanation.

He pondered over these words carefully before he typed a line: [If he is a player, then who is he? ]

Wandering between player and staff, what kind of existence was that?

Is this the strength of players in the 400th level? He didn’t understand anything, but Li Cancan seems to know a lot and was constantly prying into the true meaning of this game.

Li Cancan: [Maybe someone above the 900th floor. ]

With these words, Li Cancan stopped talking with Li Cangshan.

Li Cangshan stared at Li Cancan’s last words for a long time and silently opened the player ranking list.

In the live broadcast screen, the screen that had been dark for more than four days finally lit up. While looking at the screen on the computer, Li Cangshan flipped through the ranking list in his mind.

His eyes gradually became serious.

In fact, he was not a sports student, but a staff member of the National Security Department at Blue Star.

A few years ago, the Ministry of National Security scanned a very unusual radio frequency wavelength. It was originally thought to be a foreign spy signal, but after intercepting and identifying it, an astonishing discovery was made.

It was an electric frequency wavelength that had never been seen in Blue Star, and they had never seen the text and content obtained after analysis.

Strange symbols, strange text content.

After a long period of unremitting efforts by scientists, coupled with a large number of signal comparisons, they finally analyzed the content of this text.

[Evolution]

[Learning]

[Upgrade]

[Devour]

[Replace]

The electric frequency wavelengths were not used in a sentence-by-sentence communication method, but in a shorter word form.

After a long time of research, scientists finally combined these words into one sentence.

[By devouring to learn and upgrade, the purpose of evolution has been achieved, and the replacement is finally complete.]

Replace?

Replace who?

Was it someone or the whole Blue Star?

While investigating, the Ministry of National Security also discovered other anomalies.

Disappearances have occurred in many areas on Blue Star, but this kind of disappearance was not a simple one, these people disappeared into thin air. Moreover, memories of these people have been completely wiped from the world, and even the closest family members have forgotten them.

As for how they found out? Because everything has a closed loop and logic.

Human beings live in groups and communicate with each other, so it is inevitable for connections to be made over time.

All that disappears are memories of the person, but after the inexplicable disappearance, many aspects related to him, such as work performance, children, property, etc., will become abnormal because of the disappearance.

This mysterious force was so powerful that it could even rationalize the abnormalities.

But no matter how reasonable the explanation is, it is still a violation. Although the investigation was very troublesome, clues were bound to be found.

Everything was difficult at the beginning, but after finding the first abnormality, it became much easier after a while.

After investigation, they were shocked to find that there were not a few “missing” people, and the farthest disappearance they discovered was decades ago.

They found the specific information of some people from the small details that had not been erased, but most of them didn’t have any data or information on them. They only knew that people were missing, but they don’t even know what they are called or what they look like.

They disappeared without a trace.

This sentence enveloped all the staff of the Ministry of National Security like a curse, making them feel like they were facing a big enemy.

They speculated that this powerful force did not come from Blue Star itself, but from a higher-dimensional civilization outside the Blue Star.

And their behavior shows where they stand.

This high-dimensional civilization that secretly kidnaps human beings and maliciously tampers with human memory was an enemy.

The Ministry of National Security analyzed these clues at the fastest speed. At first glance, these people have no similarities. They have different occupations, different ages, different personalities, and different hobbies.

Until a staff member put forward a hypothesis: they all seemed to have a strong desire, and perhaps what made them disappear was a strong internal drive and desire.

A breakthrough was finally found, and the Ministry of National Security began to formulate a defense plan.

The enemy was of a much higher level of civilization than that of the Blue Star. They were hidden in the dark and couldn’t be found at all.

But this force could send out signals. As long as they could infiltrate it and link Blue Star with the center console that controls this civilization force internally, they could lock down on that enemy civilization and destroy it.

And the thousand special fighters, including him, are the pioneers that entered the enemy’s interior.

From the moment they set foot on this journey, they were ready and determined to die.

However, out of the thousand special fighters, he was the only one absorbed by this force.

It wasn’t until he entered here that he realized that he had peeked into a little of this civilization, and he also understood that those at the bottom could not get any information. He had to keep climbing to learn more about this civilization and this game.

Maybe when he climbed to the 900th floor, he would have a chance to touch the center console, and he would be able to send a signal to Blue Star so that it could catch this garbage civilization that had infiltrated their planet.

This game was so huge and dangerous, but because he is a Blue Star, the last hope of China, he had to find a reliable ally.

Li Cangshan’s eyes flew over the guild leaderboard and finally settled on the Core Fire Guild.

If Bai Lixin was as reliable as Li Cancan and others described, then he might try to get in touch.

As Li Cangshan thought about it, the small white envelope in the upper right corner suddenly lit up.

He clicked on the mailbox, and unsurprisingly, he received a rejection to join the Core Fire Guild for the third time.

Throwing the reply email into the trash can decisively, Li Cangshan’s face was solemn.

What was the membership criteria of the Core Fire Guild?

__________________________________

Core Fire Guild, conference hall.

Xia Chi looked at the membership review on the computer, patted Liang Xi’s shoulder vigorously, but looked at Li Cancan, who was wiping the bowstring in the distance: “Sister Cancan, your little fan has applied for membership again, he is really persevering.”

Li Cancan pulled the bowstring and tested its strength, “Did he pass?”

Liang Xi: “No, he didn’t tell the truth in his membership application. It may be that his identity information was false, or the purpose of membership may be false. “

Zhou Guang placed a pile of tarot cards in front of him. He crossed his arms over his chest, stared at the cards in front of him solemnly, and replied casually: “The minimum standard for joining the Core Fire Guild is honesty. No matter how much he wants to join the guild, once there is a lie, we will not pass it.”

Li Cancan chuckled. She faced the bow toward the air, pulled the bow hard, and then let go. The sky instantly burst into colorful fireworks, and she asked, “Is it beautiful?”

Xia Chi: “It’s beautiful, but why are you doing this? Sister Cancan.”

Li Cancan: “It’s to welcome God Xin. It’s been more than two years, so you have to prepare well. Didn’t you prepare any gift for him?”

A thought flashed through Xia Chi’s mind, and his expression became a little subtler, and he said awkwardly, “I did, but I don’t know if he will like it.”

“Well, God Xin is mysterious,” Zhou Guang complained, reaching out and flipping through one of the cards, it was a black death knight riding a white horse.

A Grim Reaper.

Zhou Guang knocked on the table with one hand, staring at the Tarot card.

Seeing this, several people stopped their actions and moved closer. Xia Chi asked curiously: “Brother Zhou Guang, what were you doing just now?”

Zhou Guang: “ I was checking God Xin’s path in this copy.”

Although they didn’t understand the cards, they recognized the word “death” on one of the cards. When they saw this word, the three of them were taken aback. They looked at each other, and Liang Xi asked nervously, “What does death mean?”

Zhou Guang: “Don’t worry, the death card doesn’t have to represent death and hopelessness.”

“Under certain circumstances, it represents a glimmer of life, a life that can be reborn after death.”

“It means a rebirth from the ashes once this copy is cleared.”

Several people looked up at the big screen in front of them, where Bai Lixin and the man with blond hair and golden eyes were heading toward the cave at Skeleton Nose Mountain.

Li Cancan: “Rebirth from the ashes? If God Xin comes out of the time cage, isn’t that a death and a rebirth?”

Zhou Guang slowly packed up the Tarot cards and put them in his backpack. “Yes, so we have to believe in metaphysics; just wait quietly.”

Xia Chi glanced at Zhou Guang, and joked: “Brother Zhou Guang, who would have thought that the most sensible and logical person among us would actually tell fortunes with Tarot cards after more than two years?”

Zhou Guang shrugged, “Hey, the apple prodigy who stuck out his tongue also believed in gods in his later years. This may mean that the end of science is metaphysics. I just didn’t expect my “later years” to be so early.”

Liang Xi: “ Hahaha, fortunately, you don’t have to worry about being bald.”

The group chatted and laughed and found a place to sit down, quietly watching God Xin’s live broadcast in front of them.

————-

Bai Lixin was walking very cautiously.

If he wasn’t careful, the ring of ice wrapped around his ankle would get noticed by the dragon beside him.

If something happened here, it would be a live “catch the adulterer” scene.

Over Bai Lixin’s head, the evil dragon’s beast-like golden pupils sized up Bai Lixin slightly and then moved down to Bai Lixin’s ankle.

Bai Lixin’s cloak was large and long, but not long enough to completely cover the ankles.

The long trousers were bulging, as if something were hidden inside.

Oh.

The golden eyes calmly moved away, and the two men walked quietly.

‘So what if there are two others?

Isn’t he latest?

The moment the words “I am the original” are put out, I win.

This is the might of the “emperor,” humph!’

It was daytime now, and the sun overhead was strong. Bai Lixin moved down the rock wall like a chamois and arrived at the caves at the foot of the mountain in an instant.

There were two caves, leading to two places.

“Only one direction is correct.” Dijia put one hand behind his back, pointing at the two narrow openings in front of him with the other. “One is the death cave, and the other is the life cave.”

“The death cave leads to death, obviously, and the life cave leads to the mermaid palace.”

Bai Lixin: “Is there a mermaid palace?”

Dijia: “There should be, I don’t know.”

Bai Lixin: “How long have you been here? Didn’t you go in and see? That’s not like you.”

Dijia: “I want to go in and have a look, but the rules restrict me.”

“My rules are to protect this island, but I can’t get close to the mermaid palace. I can’t get in these two holes. “

“But although I can’t get in, someone else can.” Dijia glanced at Bai Lixin’s ankle.

Bai Lixin was stunned for a second, then he smiled.

It turned out that he had already discovered it and kept silent.

Dijia raised his eyebrows, his eyes were full of indulgence.

Bai Lixin: “…”

Wait, wasn’t he in cahoots with the main body to deceive the soul fragments? Was this humane?

Dijia, Dijia, these soul fragments came from your body, why are you so cruel?

The blond young man on the opposite side just shrugged his shoulders, looking indifferent.

If they die, he could have fewer love rivals. The advantages outweigh the disadvantages, okay?

Dijia thought for a while, took out three golden scales from his clothes, and handed them to Bai Lixin, saying: “My dragon scales can resist all harm, I can’t go in with you, but if there is danger, don’t fight; leave first, we’ll think of other ways.”

“I’m at the top of the mountain, remember to come to me when you come out.”

He paused, then suddenly laughed, “You’ve been pestering me to give you more, I’ll definitely give you more next time and satisfy you well.”

The ice around Bai Lixin’s ankle suddenly tightened: “…”

Wasn’t this a mistress’s jealousy?

Dijia did not leave in a hurry, but stood in the middle of the two caves and held his chin in thought. After a while, he pointed to the cave on the left and said, “Let’s go here.”

Bai Lixin: “Why?”

Dijia: “There are more footsteps on the cave on the right, like as if they were made by a mighty march.”

“But if you look closely, you will find that the center of gravity of the footprints is not right, as if they were deliberately made. The pirates must have sent people to explore the way first and finally found that the left is the correct way, so they made a camouflage because they were afraid that someone would use the clues to follow them.”

Bai Lixin also took a look, then nodded, and looked up at Dijia: “Okay, I’ll listen to you.”

Dijia’s golden pupils suddenly deepened, and he leaned forward without saying a word, pulling Bai Lixin in for a deep kiss, and the sound echoed through the cave.

After a long time, the man reluctantly let go of Bai Lixin, turned into a giant dragon, and flew away.

After Dijia flew away, Bai Lixin turned to the cave on the left.
