Boundless Darkness 21

Tang Guan hesitated for a while, and finallyFinally, I put down my luggage and decided to stay until the morning to say goodbye to my parents and sister.

His mental state has been very bad for several weeks. After returning from the second world in the first week, he fell into a long coma and slept for five days. During these five days, he struggled with the monster’s consciousness all the time.

After graduating from university, he worked away from his hometown for a year. During this period, he lived in a rented house. He had no friends or relatives in this strange city, and his colleagues were only casual acquaintances. He fell into a coma in the rented house for several days. No one else could contact him, nor did he come to his residence to check. In the end, the family members called and found that they couldn’t get through. In a hurry, they took the high-speed train and came to his city to look for him.

His parents didn’t have the landlord’s phone number, so they called the lock picking company to come and open the door, and then they broke into the house.

His confused consciousness heard his parents calling him, he struggled hard, and finally woke up from the pain of his soul being torn apart.

Tang Guan refused his parents’ request to let him see a doctor, and comforted them that he was too tired from working overtime and fell asleep. .

He fell into a coma for five days, lost his job, paid the rent with his savings, and returned to his hometown with his parents. He saw his younger sister who was still in elementary school.

The parents said to Tang Guan: “It’s good that you are safe. We only hope that you are safe. Work is not important, and money is not important.”

The younger sister was overjoyed when she saw him come back, she turned her head and said anxiously, “Do you still have to go to work in other places? When will you go home next time?”

Tang Guan didn’t know how to answer.

His heart was filled with fear, fear made him flinch, the monster was still chattering in his mind, he didn’t understand why this ghost thing would follow him back to the first world, and he was even more afraid that when he woke up, he would find that the upper body of the monster had put his body on his back. The whole family was killed.

He used the excuse of going out to look for a job and minimized the time he stayed at home.

And during this period of time, he gradually discovered that in the first world the monster’s influence on him was not that strong, it was weakened.

The monster is obviously also very dissatisfied with this point: “My spirit has been directly weakened by half, but your spirit is still intact. Why?”

In the conversations and dialogues between the first world and the second world, Tang Guan learned that the monster has a name. It is called “Human Face Ghost”.

Tang Guan was shocked when he learned of this. The ghost with a human face laughed and said, “There are many alien species who are as intelligent as me, and some alien species who are good at disguising themselves even mix in human society.”

The casual words of the human-faced ghost will definitely break people’s perception of alien creatures. Even in the second world, people’s understanding of alien creatures is extremely limited. Alien creatures will pretend to be human beings and live in human society. middle? What a shocking secret!

“Would you like to go to your magical forum to share information with everyone?” The ghost whispered in his mind, “Players with courage like to do this, don’t they? Unite as one, work together, and be more powerful Big, according to what you say, that’s right, right?”

Tang Guan didn’t speak, but the ghost with a human face understood his thoughts: “Well, I understand…you are afraid, afraid of exposing yourself and hurting your family. Well… I understand human feelings very well. It’s called self-preservation, but it’s actually selfish and cowardly.”

The human-faced ghost and Tang Guan’s spirit are tightly bound together, and it can read Tang Guan’s thoughts. This kind of symbiotic relationship is actually extremely unequal, because the ghost with a human face is much stronger than Tang Guan, it will overwhelm Tang Guan’s spirit and gradually devour him. But fortunately, traveling back to the first world slowed down the progress of the man-masked ghost’s devouring, and the power of the man-masked ghost was only half left in the first world, which gave Tang Guan a chance to fight back.

In the first world, the ghost with a human face came out when he couldn’t think of it. Even when Tang Guan was sleeping, the ghost with a human face would be suppressed by him.

Tang Guan admits his selfishness and cowardice. He has experienced a lot and knows a lot. He was imprisoned by Dawn of the Machine for experiments, brainwashed by spirits, and knew some of the inside story of the Kraken, but Tang Guan never had the courage to stand up and speak out. Experience, the reason is just like what the ghost with a face said, he is afraid of being exposed.

He often feels tormented, and it doesn’t feel good to hold a secret. Sometimes he wonders, if he stands up, will he help more people and reduce the number of deaths.

Tang Guan didn’t dare to post information alone, it would be too conspicuous. He would only try his best to answer matters related to alien creatures in the question posts posted by others, and he would answer carefully and carefully.

“Hypocrisy.” The ghost with a human face taunted him, “You can’t help others, you’re just filling your own guilty heart.”

He has been torn by guilt for several weeks. While he wants to spend more time with his family, he has to stay away from them. He wants to do more, but he is held back by his inner weakness.

It wasn’t until he received the “Dark Realm Descending” mission and saw the analysis posts and warning posts on the forum that he finally woke up from the tearing emotions.

Something must be done, he said to himself.

If the speculation of the coming of the “Seven Days of Blood” is true, then his hometown is in jeopardy, and his escape is fruitless. When the mountain falls, there cannot be only one person carrying it. If he is weak and escapes, when the mountain capsizes, everyone under the mountain will be crushed into dust, including his family.

Injured and treated cruelly in the second world, he can draw warmth and strength from his family after returning to the first world, but when there is a disaster in the first world, where can he escape? There is no way back.

So early the next morning, Tang Guan ate the last breakfast with his family, sent his sister to a hobby class, and found a good excuse – he found a job, had an online interview, and now he was going to work.

His parents were a little puzzled and didn’t know why he left in such a hurry, but seeing his resolute attitude, they nodded in agreement.

In the early morning of August, the sun was a little dazzling.

Tang Guan carried the suitcase, looked back at the old residential building behind him, and left in silence.

“Sister Xin Xin, you are absent-minded.” Su Rong said, “This is the first time I saw you absent-minded when giving a lecture.”

Kai Xin was taken aback, and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, it affected you.”

“I understand very well. After all, what happened last night was really big.” Su Rong said with a sad face, “I always pay attention to the forum, for fear of missing any news. The world is changing too fast. If I wake up tomorrow, It wouldn’t surprise me at all to see the end of the world on the news.”

“It hasn’t reached the end of the world yet,” said Kai Xin.

“But it doesn’t seem to be far away.” Su Rong lowered her head and said, “I’m wondering whether to persuade my parents to move away and leave Tonglin City, but I have no reason to persuade them. I still have little say in the family What about the kids…if I tell them about the game, they’ll believe me, and I can show them my superpowers.”

The shadow doppelganger silently rose from under Su Rong’s feet, and poured a glass of water for Kai Xin.

“Maybe it’s not a good thing to tell them, because they can’t help.” Su Rong said, “But I want to tell them again. I’m too useless, I can’t bear it by myself, so I want to cry in their arms Crying, in fact, sometimes it feels nothing to go through those things, but when I see my parents, I feel wronged. Fortunately, Sister Xin Xin is here… It seems like someone has shared the burden.”

Kai Xin thought for a moment: “Did you read the post on the forum last night?”

“Look.” Su Rong said, “So I think I’m useless… The place where the mutation happened is in Tonglin City, but I just want to go far away. I see that many players on the forum said that they want to come to Tonglin City to investigate Well, they are not afraid of death, compared to them I am a scumbag, I feel ashamed.”

Kai Xin looked at her quietly, without expressing any opinion on her inner confession.

“But I thought about it again. Sister Xin Xin, you said that I want to be a valuable person.” Su Rong covered her face, “I made up my mind at that time, and I said to myself that I would be a valuable person. As a result, last night As soon as that incident happened, I thought about escaping again. Wouldn’t that be going back to the old way? I can’t do that.”

“As long as you have an idea in your heart, just follow the path you choose.” Kui Xin said.

“Sister Xin Xin.” Su Rong said seriously, “This is the last time I will talk to you about these things, and I won’t say them in the future…I will do it.”

Kai Xin smiled, “Then let me see.”

Today’s class ended early, and it was only 5:30 when Kai Xin set off home. She stayed outside for a while, watched the phantom appear in the sky, took the time to take a video, and then entered the subway to take the car home.

In the morning, Kai Xin was very busy, because a large number of players on the forum said they would come to Tonglin City to investigate the “Dark Realm Descending” incident. Outside personnel to record data, so as to screen players.

The way players come to Tonglin City is nothing more than airplanes, high-speed rail, trains, and buses. Even if they avoid these means of transportation, they still need to pass through expressways and various highways, and they cannot escape the surveillance cameras. Taking a step back, even if they take the small urban and rural roads without cameras, they still need to go shopping or find a place to live in Tonglin City, and they cannot avoid the city’s surveillance network.

Kai Xin believes that those who have the courage to come to Tonglin City are players who have a certain degree of confidence in their own strength, and they may have awakened extraordinary abilities.

And she has probing eyes, and she can recognize awakened players at a glance.

On the way home by subway, Kai Xin was considering which sections of cameras would be better to connect to.

At this time, it was the morning and evening rush hours, and the subway was crowded with people.

When the subway stopped at the stop sign of the train station, a fashionable young girl wearing headphones chewed bubble gum and carried a suitcase into the subway. How old are you?

However, the moment Kai Xin raised her head, she saw a line of writing on the other party’s body.

“Extraordinary ability…” Kai Xin’s heart beat a little faster, “Speaking spirit?!”
