: Both Ends of the Balance 18

Tang Guan said that Kai Xin is a young man, but in fact he is also a young man himself, and the elder is only relative.

Kai Xin was very surprised that Tang Guan could say such a thing, but after thinking about it carefully, he seemed to have always been such a person, very kind. If he hadn’t been kind, he wouldn’t have delivered news to her on the Kraken back then, and he wouldn’t have come to Tonglin City, a place full of dangers.

“Where’s your family?” Kai Xin also asked this question.

“If the home I live on is destroyed, then everything is meaningless, and whether I am alive or not is not so important.” Tang Guan said with a smile, “I have already prepared for it.”

Tang Guan was always preparing for the worst. Ever since he was captured and imprisoned by Mechanical Dawn, he was facing the threat of death every day. He had long imagined what his parents would do after his death, and sometimes he would feel rejoicing in his heart—fortunately, he was not an only child, he still had a younger sister, and his parents would still have a younger sister to accompany him in the future.

But after he felt rejoicing, deeper guilt surged up, gnawing at his heart and making him restless.

Kai Xin looked at Tang Guan for a long time, and finally nodded slightly: “You are right. Then play it by ear, please.”

“This is what I want to tell you…please.” Tang Guan said, “Whether it’s Depriver 777 or the bigger crisis bred by the two world games, I may have to leave it to you…you guys .”

Kai Xin didn’t want Tang Guan to sacrifice… She had seen too much filth, so a pure soul was so rare and precious, shining like gems hidden in the dark mire. If Tang Guan dies, the world will lose a shining gem forever.

“Wait a minute, maybe you don’t have to go.” Kai Xin pondered for a moment, and suddenly had a new idea.Meaning, “Depriver 777 wants to go to the Dark Realm…then let him go.”

Tang Guan said in surprise: “You want to let him go and treat him as an experiment? Let’s see what changes will happen to him after he enters the Dark Realm?”

Kai Xin nodded solemnly.

“The place where the dark world descends is not only in Tonglin City, but Depriver No. 777 came here, and he came here selectively.” Kui Xin said, “I presuppose that Tonglin City is a special place for him. Place.”

Tang Guan said: “In case the other party’s actions cause negative changes in the Dark Realm…”

“There may be changes, but it shouldn’t be too serious.” Kai Xin said, “My intuition didn’t warn me…Maybe I can try it. If you want to confirm it further, you may need to talk to Depriver 777. ”

“Are you sure he can talk to you?” Tang Guan asked.

“He’s not really crazy after all.” Kai Xin said.

“You can take me with you.” Tang Guan said, “I’m afraid we will need to fight then.”

Kai Xin turned his head and shouted, “Twilight.”

When Han Xue appeared, Kui Xin said, “I’m going to find Depriver No. 777 now.”

“Now? Yes.” Yu Hanxue said immediately, “Let’s go.”

“It’s not us together, I’m going to look for him alone, you and the white pigeon will act together for the time being.” Kai Xin said, “It won’t be long, I’ll go back as soon as I go.”

“Why do you have to be alone?” Yu Hanxue took a step forward and asked anxiously, “If there are too many of us…”

“It is precisely because of the large number of people that it is impossible for Augus to reveal those secrets,” said Kai Xin. “He cares about the purity of the game, and only wants to communicate with me alone.”

Yu Hanxue whispered, “Then… can you understand English with such a strong accent?”

Kui Xin was stunned on the spot: “I almost forgot… Let him type the words on the translation software, it should work, right?”

Tang Guan looked at Kai Xin with a strange look in his eyes. He coughed lightly inappropriately and held back his smile.

Yu Hanxue looked at Kai Xin worriedly, not knowing whether she was worried about her safety or her English listening ability.

“I’ll go first, don’t care about my side, I will notify you if there is an accident, if there is any movement on my side, don’t rush to rescue without authorization.” After explaining the last sentence, Kai Xin came from the rooftop. jumped down.

When she was about to land, she launched the shadow shuttle and stood firmly on the ground, raised her arms and waved at Han Xue and Tang Guan, and walked into the deep night.

Yu Hanxue said to herself, “You are so brave.”

Tang Guan nodded lightly as if agreeing.

Yu Hanxue thought, it’s a pity that she has never been a brave person since she was a child. Most of what she thinks about is herself.

If it weren’t for Kai Xin who was the main participant in the mission of descending from the dark world, Yu Hanxue would never have come to Tonglin City to get involved in this matter. She didn’t want to be on the cusp of the storm, and she didn’t have the desire to control like Kai Xin. But when Kai Xin was here, Yu Hanxue felt that she had to come. She had lost a lot after participating in “Crimson Land”, and she didn’t want to lose more.

Tang Guan said: “Let’s go, patrol the perimeter.”

“Oh, good.” Yu Hanxue looked at Tang Guan and agreed to his proposal.

When walking on the road, Kai Xin took out his mobile phone and contacted He Kangshi.

“How’s it going?”

He Kangshi: “I sent a message according to the boss’s wishes. Augustus just said that he is waiting for No. 233 and asked No. 233 to go find him.”

“Where are the players?”

He Kangshi: “The people who formed the night patrol team with me have retreated to the periphery with me, we don’t plan to leave here tonight, and if there are alien creatures coming out, we don’t plan to let them leave here to invade the city. ”

Kai Xin felt a little relieved, “Okay, stay vigilant.”

Immediately afterwards, Kai Xin contacted Su Rong: “Are you here?”

“Already here, Sister Xin Xin. I’m wandering around, do I want to rush over to meet you?” Su Rong asked.

Su Rong has already started school. She originally had evening self-study today, but she asked the class teacher for a sick leave and returned home early. She separated her shadow doppelganger and rushed to the old industrial area.

“No, you can’t help much, save your strength.” Kai Xin said.

“Sister Xin Xin, I want to see if I can let the shadow double body enter the dark world…” Su Rong said, “My senses are connected with the shadow double body’s senses, maybe you can see it when you go in. What about the scene inside. The shadow double is gone, I can gather a new one, and it won’t take long to get to the industrial area.”

This idea has actually been circling in Su Rong’s mind for a long time, but she has never dared to implement it. The dark world is like a black hole, swallowing everything. Although Su Rong started school, she would release her shadow doppelgänger from time to time to inspect the old industrial area to see the situation, and she knew the situation there very well.

“You can try.” Kui Xin replied, “For example, put a hand in first.”

Su Rong immediately said: “Okay! Then I’ll go right away!”

Under the cover of night, a mass of black mud-like substance quickly passed through the old industrial area, and soon came to the location of the tobacco factory.

A few days ago, the place was full of cars and people, but now the cars and people have disappeared. The surrounding area was very empty, and from a distance, the tobacco factory looked like a haunted house. In a way, it was indeed haunted.

The shadow doppelganger swam to the edge of the tobacco factory’s wall, only ten centimeters away from the tobacco factory’s wall.

The shadow doppelganger felt it carefully for a while, and found nothing abnormal. If Su Rong hadn’t witnessed those experimental objects and experimental animals being taken by this buildingSwallowing it into it and disappearing, I would never believe that this ordinary tobacco factory is so evil.

Su Rong remotely controlled the shadow doppelganger and stretched out an arm, and carefully tried to touch the wall with her dark palm.

The fingertips touched the wall, and suddenly a cold feeling spread from the fingers… This is not right!

The shadow doppelganger has no sense of touch, so how could it be possible to feel the coldness from the wall?

Before Su Rong could control it to make the next move, the fingertips of the shadow double body suddenly disintegrated, followed by the arm, and finally a puddle of black mud on the ground. The entire shadow double body disintegrated into the air In the middle, the speed was so fast that even Su Rong didn’t realize what happened, the shadow doppelgänger cut off contact with her.

She opened her mouth wide in a daze, and didn’t recover for a while.

A few seconds later, Su Rong typed out a line as quickly as possible and sent it out. At the same time, she condensed another shadow doppelganger and rushed to the old industrial area again.

Kai Xin received the news: “Sister Xin Xin, something is wrong, the Dark Realm seems to be able to neutralize extraordinary abilities!”

At the same time as he received the news, Kai Xin stopped and looked forward.

“You’re here so soon, Mai.” Augustus said, “It’s faster than I expected…”

Kai Xin interrupted him expressionlessly: “Stop”

Then she took out the mobile phone she had prepared, and a sentence had already been translated on the screen of the mobile phone. Nowadays, technology is really more and more developed. Whether it is Chinese to English or English to Chinese, the translation can be very accurate.

Of course, August’s eyesight is not bad, and he quickly read the words on the screen of Kai Xin’s phone.

The meaning of the first line is: “If you don’t understand your English, just use the translator.”

The second line is a question: “Are you going to enter the Dark Realm? Why?”

Augus raised the corner of his mouth and was about to speak, but suddenly remembered that the person on the other side couldn’t understand what he was saying. The corner of his raised mouth was suppressed again, and he felt a little suffocated, but he had no choice but to take out his own words. I typed a word on my mobile phone and translated it.

“You’re so curious, why don’t you go in with me and have a look?”

Kai Xin’s heart skipped a beat, “I refuse.”

“I think you have to go.” August’s mobile phone screen displayed, “It’s a matter of time, you can’t escape, you can’t refuse.”

Kai Xin chewed his words: “What do you mean?”

“It means literally.” Augus said, “What is the progress of your Dark World Descend mission? Has it reached more than 50%?”

Kai Xin temporarily called out the system panel and took a look.

“[Task progress]: 90%.”

Really, as Augus said, the progress has increased by leaps and bounds. Kai Xin didn’t even know that the progress bar had risen so much unconsciously.

“If you don’t speak, that means you’re acquiescing?” Augus laughed. “You’re very close to the correct answer. You’re a smart person. You must have made assumptions and guesses. You stand at the top of the players and know what you see. Naturally, the assumptions and guesses you have made may be correct, but you still need to verify the truth to make sure that the truth is 100% as you expected. Now you are just a little bit away from the truth Now, although it’s only a small distance, you still need to take a big step, which means——you have to go in.”

Kai Xin probed: “Your task progress bar is not 100% either.”

“That’s right, that’s why I came here to verify.” August’s eyes were particularly meaningful, “We have already seized the opportunity when we came here. Others still don’t know anything about future choices When the time comes, the multiple-choice questions are already placed in front of us, and we can make choices one step ahead of them, which is our advantage.”

“Advantages… Are you referring to the red and sapphire multiple-choice question?” Kai Xin asked.

“Yes, others didn’t receive it, but we did. This is the advantage.” Augus replied, “Now the choice is in front of you, and you also need to make a choice, follow me into the dark world, or cowardly dare not go in? ”

Man-faced ghost is an instigator, and Augus is also an instigator.

The content of their instigation is the same, they are all encouraging Kai Xin to enter the dark world.

Kai Xin also realized that the only way to know the truth is to go in, and there is no other choice.

The living creatures go in one by one and are swallowed by the other. They can only go in and out. Tang Guan goes in and may never come back again. There is no way to send her news. If you want to get the most accurate answer, you have to go in yourself.

“You’re going to get stuck at zero, so you wait here. If you don’t, go in now.” Kai Xin looked into August’s eyes, “Why are you stuck at zero?”

“Zero is a special number, just like seven,” Augers said. “Zero stands for blankness, for beginning and end, for non-existence. Zero enters. You can understand this as a sense of ritual. There is no other reason, but If I had to choose a time to enter, then I would definitely choose zero.”

“Then I know.” Kai Xin lowered his head.

The zero point is actually not necessary, but August chose the zero point for personal reasons.

What he said should not be a lie. Kui Xin did not feel that there was a taste of lies in him. People like Augus may disdain to lie. So far, he has never lied to “Depriver No. 233″. On the contrary, the Depriver’s No. 233 lies one after another. Augus didn’t realize that he was being tricked, thinking that the person who kept in touch with him was Kaixin himself.

Kai Xin took a step back.”Wait,” Augus looked at her with interest, “Are you leaving? Aren’t you going to fight me?”

“If you want to fight, I can accompany you. But I think you don’t seem to want to fight.” Kai Xin said coldly, “Since you don’t want to, then don’t try it, lest you really get into a fight and run away in despair.”

“But I feel that you seem to want to fight with me, but what I said just now dispelled your thoughts. You put the priority of the dark world at the top, and you put my priority at the back.” Ao Gus said in a low voice, “Wise choice, our two choices are the same. So, are you going to enter the dark world?”

“No.” Kai Xin said.

A spatial vortex opened up behind Kai Xin, and she retreated into it and disappeared.

Augus looked at the place where she disappeared, lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then frowned and let go.

“I thought it was such a strong enemy… It turns out that she will shrink back in her heart.” Augustus shrugged.

What he just said was actually a provocative method. The more he incited him, the more hesitant the other party would be, wondering if there was something hidden in it. His aggressive tactics took effect, and Decapitator 233 flinched.

August even became complacent. He thought he had won the Depriver No. 233 in the verbal confrontation.

That’s fine, August thought, he will be the first to enter the Dark Realm…

“The players in the same area as you have completed the mission before you, and your mission will be considered a failure.” A notification from the game system suddenly flashed in my ear.

August’s expression suddenly became brighter.

Angrily, he rushed to the tobacco factory, and a strong thought emerged in his mind——The Depriver 233 actually tricked him!

She wanted to go in, but she tricked him into not wanting to go in!

At this moment, at the same time as Augustus, all the players who received the quest from the Dark World were also receiving the notification.

Tang Guan and Yu Hanxue’s expressions changed drastically. Not only did they receive the mission briefing, they also received news from Kai Xin.

“The outside world is counting on you.”

He Kangshi didn’t receive that instruction, so he couldn’t figure it out, and kept muttering: “Which boss did it? Could it be the boss? The boss didn’t give me any news…”

Su Rong was completely dumbfounded. Her re-condensed shadow double body hurried to the tobacco factory, just in time to see that scene.

She saw Kai Xin standing at the main entrance of the tobacco factory for a moment, as if she had made up her mind, and then she walked in steadily.



“[Task progress]: 100%.”

A reminder flashed before Kai Xin’s eyes, and together with the reminder, there was a long list of task evaluations and final rewards… But Kai Xin didn’t have the heart to look at those things at all, she was overwhelmed by the scene in front of her.

Kai Xin’s pupils dilated, his heart beat violently, and he even stopped breathing.

The scene in front of me is not a tobacco factory at all…or the outside of the tobacco factory does look like a tobacco factory, but the scene inside is not the original one.

The tobacco factory is just a shell on the outside. In fact, there is another world inside. The layout and scene are completely different from before.

The triangular logo came into view, and inside the triangular logo was an irregularly shaped inverted triangle, which looked like an exclamation point and a mushroom cloud that exploded out of thin air.

Kai Xin unconsciously took a step forward, and the corners of his eyes twitched.

The nuclear logos of the first world and the second world are different in style. The color of her world nuclear logo is yellow and black. The nuclear logo in front of her eyes is a triangle as a whole, but the color is red and white. This is clearly the second world. Nuclear radiation sign!

Looking up, there are dilapidated bottles and cans everywhere. There are no such things in the old tobacco factory. The bottles and jars were already rusted, and Kai Xin stepped on the metal floor and tried to touch the bottles and jars marked with nuclear radiation symbols, but her hand was empty, and what she saw was a phantom, Just like the reflection of the city in the sky, it is all false.

The surrounding area is filled with fog, and the scenery is not very clear.

She walked forward again and reached the door.

A metal sign was pasted on the door frame, and a line of words was written on the metal sign, “Fugang City Nuclear Power Plant Waste Equipment Disposal Room”.

Goosebumps appeared on Kai Xin’s body little by little, as if a bunch of small bugs were crawling on her skin, and she felt frightened.

The factories of the second world appeared in the first world!

Is the essence of the dark world the overlapping point of the first world and the second world?

Kai Xin stepped forward again, putting on 120,000 points of mental vigilance.

She walked around the door and walked to the back of the door. The scene behind the door made her gasp.

She saw a person lying on the ground. It was a man wearing a black coat with weapons scattered around him. Judging from the outline of his face, he was clearly a foreigner.

But that’s not the point… The point is that the foreigner looks so much like Augus, they are exactly the same!

Kai Xin squatted down to touch “Augus” on the ground. Just like before, her hand passed through “Augus”.

Kai Xin’s scalp was numb, and his brain was about to explode.

She withdrew her hand, and her ears caught the sound of footsteps.

Another Augus emerged from the mist through the bottles and jars. He sneered, looked at the body of “Augus” on the ground, and then at Kai Xin.

“You lied to me, Mai, I thought you really wouldn’t come in. You caused me to break the zero-point entry plan, and my sense of ritual was destroyed by you.” Augustus smiled strangely, “But congratulations. You One step ahead of me, I found…’me’.”
