MTL - Top Horror Novelist-Chapter 137 (two)

.

—Those who died in the game field and failed to return to reality, he wanted to take them home and let them see what reality looks like.

Skye thought so, and walked firmly.

Therefore, when he triggered the A-level dungeon [City of Deathstroke], even though he knew that many people were asking him for utilitarian purposes, he did not refuse.

Because he feels that everyone has the right to fight for themselves.

However, not everyone has such strength.

When the excited players thought that they could trigger the S-level dungeon after they entered the A-level dungeon, and then went all the way up to gain wealth and fame, and left the game field with glory, the cruel fact gave them a heavy blow.

The death of the first man was so silent that no one could even see what killed him.

Panic is spreading.

But soon the second, the third...

The players hurried to Skye for help, asking him to protect them.

"It was you who triggered this dungeon, you brought us in, you can't just leave us alone!"

"Aren't you a saint sky? Save me, save me!"

"You hypocrite! Liar! Butcher! You should go to hell! Didn't you say that you can leave the game field after entering this copy?"

"You promised to protect us! Take us away quickly, I don't want to continue in this copy, I will die!"

"Why did he die and not you! Speak, speak! I want you to pay for his life!"

The chaotic and noisy cries gave Skye a headache, but he never gave up on anyone. No matter how difficult it was, he gritted his teeth and led them forward, wanting to fulfill his promise and leave the instance.

But ah... The cruel truth never changes because of someone.

Even though Skye said he wanted to protect everyone's safety, he tried his best, even using his body as a shield to block it, but he couldn't stop the dungeon.

It's like a precision machine, once it starts running, it can't be stopped. The heavy and tight gears will crush all the stones that try to stop the operation into fine powder.

Skye risked his life, but the players continued to die one by one.

Then new players come in.

From his grief at the beginning, he has become numb mechanically at the end, leaving only instinctive movements still under the effect of inertia.

die.

When the first person died in front of him, he was still frightened and sad, and things hurt other people.

But the second, the third... until thousands.

All that remained of Skye was numbness. It was the original commitment and will that still supported him to walk on with a sigh of relief.

How long will it take? When is liberation? Why must these people be protected?

Skye didn't know.

He just accepted the pleadings of the players again and again, protected them, and wiped away his tears sadly amidst their cursing and cursing before they died.

He didn't even know why he was still alive.

And the dungeon was originally close to infinite time, and it was constantly halved, and then halved...

Skye is so numb to pain and grief that he doesn't even know he's stuck in an alley.

It wasn't until he met Chi Yiyin and was led out of that alley by Chi Yiyin that Skye finally realized that he had already spent three years in the dungeon.

And Skye finally realized that because he wanted to save his companions but ignored the weak idea of ​​victory, only 28 hours were left for the dungeon that could have been successful.

The last 28 hours.

—How can a miracle be created?

Skye sees no hope.

And the short time with Chi Yiyin also made Skye realize that he was caught in a wheel war without knowing it, but Chi Yiyin hit the core directly.

As long as the core of this rigorous machine is damaged, the machine will stop running, and all lives under the gears will be saved.

It will even open a new door to an S-rank dungeon.

But Skye understood it too late.

His mistake has been made and cannot be corrected.

Can only make up for it.

"Skye, is there really no problem with Mr. Chi?"

The big man next to him asked worriedly, "Is nothing going to happen to the people who stay there?"

The others also looked back again and again, seeming uneasy.

Skye saw this in his eyes, but said nothing.

He knew that these people were making the mistakes he had made, but even if he reminded them aloud, these people would not realize their mistakes.

Exactly the same as he used to be.

Only when you hit the south wall, you will know that it is the wrong way. Before that, no matter how others persuade... it is useless.

Skye was silent for a moment, but didn't look back.

"With Mr. Chi here, there will be no mistakes or omissions."

"Everything is within Mr. Chi's plan, including all of us," he said.

Chi Yiyin told Skye about his plan, and about the part he didn't say, Skye gradually became vaguely aware of the truth after the incident actually happened.

In that black and white chess game, the king always stood tall, and the knight swung his sword.

And he is also one of Chi Yiyin's pawns.

Relying on the people in the tavern to completely change the entire Tangjia City?

Chi Yiyin had never had such a naive idea.

—The people in the tavern are just pawns on the knight's seat.

As a pawn, Skye gradually understood that what Chi Yiyin wanted to do was to use the anger of the people of Tangjia City to set a fire, so as to force out the most important and important existence that the city lord cared about.

Just like in a fire, people will be the first to rescue the treasures.

What Chi Yiyin wanted was for the city lord to control the core of the entire city.

And this core...

Skye stopped in his tracks.

He stood on the empty street, the clean and straight road was quiet and silent, even the noble ladies and carriages that walked here in the past were gone, only the cement sculptures all over the street remained.

And not far away, there are bustling shopping malls, and the completed Crystal Palace of All Nations.

Skye froze.

When he first entered the dungeon, he remembered clearly that the Crystal Palace of All Nations was just a blueprint.

But now, it has been built.

It seems that not only the time passing in the game field, but also the time of the dungeon and Skye.

But Skye thought of something else.

Chi Yiyin told him about the things in the city, so that he could recall the past and find out what happened.

And in the newspaper published by Chi Yiyin at this time, there was news about the serial murder case.

Exactly three years ago.

What was there three years ago?

Skye triggered the copy and led the players into the exploration, and then watched the players die one by one.

The newspaper said that the homicide was related to the Crystal Palace of Nations.

Chi Yiyin also said that the suspected murderer was dissatisfied with the establishment of the Crystal Palace of All Kingdoms, which was a cruel resistance. And he saw that the figure of the murderer disappeared into the alley.

but…

Skye realized something in a daze.

He raised his hands tremblingly, and looked down at his palms in disbelief.

Why, why are all time nodes consistent with his time?

Could it be... he was the one who killed those people?

"Look! It's the castellan's carriage! And the guards!"

At this moment, a big man pointed forward and exclaimed: "How come there are so many people!"
