Boundless Darkness 16

After finishing the lecture, Su Rong closed her notebook listlessly, feeling as if she had been hollowed out.

“Take a break.” Kui Xin packed up the pens and papers and checked the time.

It’s evening now, and it will be six o’clock soon. It took a long time to give Su Rong a lecture today.

“It’s time.” Kui Xin said, walked to the window of Su Rong’s room and opened the curtains, and put the phone on the window frame.

Su Rong belatedly realized that the time has come for the city’s reflection in the sky to appear.

She jumped up from her chair and rushed to the window, looking up at the sky nervously.

The phantom of the city in the sky appeared on time. The inverted city appeared in the sky. Those blurred and illusory outlines seemed to distort the evening sun. The clouds in the sky seemed much darker, and the weather became gloomy at this time.

The pitch-black tall buildings in the second world hang silently in the sky, giving people a terrible sense of oppression. Since the phantoms are upside down, those tall buildings are like stalactites hanging upside down in a cave, but they are hideous and beautiful.

Twenty minutes later, the phantom disappeared.

Su Rong’s neck was sore. She said in disbelief, “How…so long?”

Kai Xin picked up his phone and looked at the video, frowning. Judging from the videos taken several times before, those city reflections are still blurred.The reflection of the city is exceptionally clear, clearer than the previous few times, as if there is a real city hanging over Tonglin City… It feels like an avalanche approaching, black clouds pressing down on the city, so real that the city standing upside down in the sky It’s like falling down and smashing people to pieces.

“I see that everyone on the Internet is saying that the end of the world is coming…” Su Rong said, “I went over the wall to check the Internet, and many media reported that the number of robberies in various cities has increased, and the crime rate has increased significantly. Everyone in the supermarket is stocking up on food and guns… The impact in the country is relatively small, but the price of food seems to have risen a bit, I wonder if it is because of the decrease in food production or rumors of the end of the world?”

“If “Crimson Soil” can be tested publicly, the scene may not be much better than the end of the world.” Kai Xin said calmly.

What makes Kai Xin anxious is that in the face of these unknown changes, she can hardly do anything. She has extraordinary abilities, strong physical fitness, and an invincible will, but what can she do? After all, personal strength is still too small, and what she is facing is the struggle between two worlds.

“It’s so difficult…” Su Rong said gloomily, “Will it be impossible to live a peaceful life in the future?”

“I can only say that you have to be mentally prepared for this.” Kai Xin put away his phone and looked at Su Rong, “Let’s talk about what happened to you.”

“Yeah!” Su Rong straightened her back, “In fact, the first time I saw you in the car, I thought I knew this cool blue-eyed sister. It was… intuition! A woman’s intuition! If it wasn’t for Sister Xin Xin, you deliberately showed it If you are so indifferent, I will definitely pounce on you and ask if you are sister Xin Xin.”

“You’re very clever. I was afraid that you would pounce on me and ask me if you noticed something was wrong, so I gave you a hint.” Kai Xin said, “You said you have intuition…can you tell me about your inherent talent?”

“Uh…’Soul Interpretation’, I used to be an art student, and I took this kind of class. The teacher said that I am quite talented in acting… Another talent is ‘Harmless Halo’, strangers will Subconsciously feel that I am weak and have no ability to resist, so let down my vigilance.” Su Rong said, “The last one is ‘friendly identification’! I can intuitively know who is the person I can trust. But these abilities are very strange. I don’t know if they have taken effect, and when they will take effect…”

Kai Xin fell into deep thought, “Your ability is related to your identity in the real world and the second world. This may be your inherent talent, or the talent you acquired through learning.”

Kai Xin and He Kangshi were not that close, so they didn’t ask these privacy questions.

Su Rong trusted Kai Xin very much, and she directly told her old background, which made Kai Xin confirm some of her previous guesses.

From the comments of the players on the forum, we can know that every player has their own inherent talent, but this thing is the same as supernatural ability. Not many players will disclose their information in the forum, so the degree of discussion about this thing is very low. Everyone is hiding.

Kai Xin’s academic performance is very good, and her learning ability has brought her the inherent talent of “fast learning”. She has a relatively strong sense of urgency and self-protection since she was a child, so the emergence of “danger avoidance” is reasonable. “Danger avoidance” was upgraded to “absolute prediction”. Kai Xin is calm when things happen, and can lie without changing his face. From this, “acting personality” was born, and finally “life tenacity” and “fighting instinct”.

The last two inherent talents, Kui Xin believes that they belong to himself in the Second World. But maybe it’s more than that, maybe the second world self also has other talents, and the addition of the two has resulted in enhancement, so these inherent talents are locked in the skill column.

Su Rong’s inherent talent is produced in the same way as Kai Xin’s.

The second world is a star, the first world has taken acting classes, Su Rong has some acting skills. She already has a sweet and lovely face, and it is really easy for people to let go of their guard against her. As for “friendly identification”… the trigger method of this inherent talent seems to be as metaphysical as Kai Xin’s “absolute prediction” , often in a state of ineffectiveness.

“At that time, I walked with Sister Xin Xin, maybe it was because of my inherent talent. It reminded me that you are a trustworthy person.” Su Rong said, “You are still very clever at critical moments! Right?”

Kai Xin smiled, “Can you tell me the specific effect of your extraordinary ability?”

“Okay, look.” Su Rong summoned a doppelganger from the shadow under her feet.

The double body is as black as ink, like flowing black mud. Its face is blurred, but its outline is exactly the same as Su Rong’s.

“It can serve tea and pour water, very obedient.” Su Rong asked the shadow doppelganger to pour a glass of water for Kai Xin, and then let it walk around the room twice, the doppelganger passed through the wall silently , and came back through the wall, “I can pass through walls, and I can lift heavy things…”

The doppelganger grabbed the dumbbell in Su Rong’s room and easily lifted it above his head.

“This dumbbell belongs to my dad. It weighs 30 kilograms. I can only lift the smallest one.” Su Rong said, “It’s very powerful! It can also cut fruit.”

With the palm of his hand, Er Duo cut off the strawberry stalks in the fruit plate with two swipes, cut the large pineapple into neat small pieces, inserted a toothpick and handed it to Kai Xin.

“How many can you summon at one time?” Kai Xin asked with interest while holding a fruit plate.

“One… can be summoned once it disappears.” Su Rong said, “It’s a C-level ability.” She looked at Kai Xin curiously, “Back then, Sister Xin Xin smashed it apart with one punch, your spatial abilityso convenient. ”

“You are standing in front of many players.” Kui Xin was silent for a while, then put down the fruit plate, “How do you feel about killing people, Rong Rong?”

Su Rong was stunned for a moment. The memories of being paralyzed by self-forgetfulness emerged instantly, and she couldn’t maintain the smile on her face.

“I… feel bad.” She lowered her head, “I fell asleep last night and dreamed of Dimitri. I was covered in blood.”

“You should know, you can’t turn back.” Kuixin said, “I’m sorry to mention this to you at this time, but returning to the first world is not to paralyze you, but to give you a buffer time Think fully and think about how to go on the next road. If you are not conscious and determined, then it is useless to follow me. ‘I am not your nanny’, I have told you so, I cannot protect you You, you have to protect yourself.”

“I know…” Su Rong said with difficulty, “Mom and Dad said that no one can be my reliance, nor can they… I have to be my reliance.”

“That’s right. But what you understand and how you do it are two different things.” Kai Xin said.

“Sister Xin Xin, are you in trouble in the second world?” Su Rong said, “I’ve thought about it for a long time, and I don’t know why you deliberately pretend to be indifferent…”

“The reason is very simple. I can’t protect myself.” Kuixin said, “I was under surveillance all the time, and I might die at any time. If I didn’t save you at that time, you would die, so I had to take you away… As long as there is another choice, I will never bring you by my side. Rong Rong, I can tell you frankly that being by my side does not mean that you are safe, it is very likely… It just delays your death. The danger is not only It comes from the outside world, and it comes from around me.”

Su Rong took a breath, fear and panic were about to come back, she was so scared when she killed Dimitri, almost unable to think.

Kui Xin’s words were cruel, mercilessly breaking Su Rong’s inner peace.

But she couldn’t deceive her into thinking that she was safe… The fact is that no player is absolutely safe.

“Then, how can I… survive?” Su Rong mustered up her courage and asked.

“Be a useful person.” Kai Xin said, “Be an ignorant person.”

“Work hard to become stronger, and continue to pretend that you don’t know Sister Xin Xin? Pretend that we are strangers, and pretend at all times?” Su Rong thought a lot.

In a high-tech society, there are many ways of monitoring. Implanting a monitoring chip into a prosthetic eye is one way. Su Rong immediately guessed that Kai Xin was controlled by others, so she didn’t want to reveal her relationship with her. She did this to protect she.

“Yes, we will maintain the status quo for the time being.” Kuixin said, “You have to become valuable, become powerful, and arm yourself. Others may take advantage of your value, but what is more terrible than using you is that you have no value, no possibility A place to be used. Valuable people will not be discarded at will, and worthless people are garbage that can be discarded at any time, dust that is blown away at will. In that world, you can’t be worthless, Rong Rong.”

Because Kai Xin has value, she worked hard to demonstrate these values, so she has lived to this day.

She showed her worth in front of Adam, so she became its collaborator. She showed her worth in front of Eve, so Eve let her go temporarily and let her go undercover by Adam’s side.

Every time Kai Xin cooperates with each other, every time she seeks a way out in a desperate situation, she tries to find ways to tap her own value, so she got Adam’s assistance and persuaded Eve.

“One more thing.” Kui Xin looked at Su Rong, “Popov family, what do you want to do? Shelve, give up, revenge, you have to choose one.”

Su Rong grabbed the clothes on her chest tightly, and it was a little difficult to breathe.

All the pain she has experienced since entering the second world and Kai Xin’s words hit her heart.

Be a valuable…be an ignorant person…

Shelve, give up and revenge, you have to choose one.

She was unwilling to let those people go. on hold? Putting it aside won’t solve the problem… Retaliation? Dimitri is dead, but Su Rong knows very well that it is not himself who supports Dimitri’s unscrupulousness, but the forces behind him, those corrupt and ugly plutocrats.

Su Rong was already on the verge of danger and needed someone to push her.

Kai Xin saw this, and she acted as the one who pushed her. Ahead is the abyss and the way out.

Su Rong opened her mouth: “I can only choose one of the three…then I will choose revenge.”
