Chapter 595
GOR Chapter 595 Endless
Soo Soo did not know that she had become the one person that Roddy worried about most .
At present, she sat quietly on the floor, her legs crossed as she gazed up at the sky .
To be exact, there was actually no ‘sky’ where she was at . Regardless of which way she turned, all she could see was whiteness .
“So, is this how this place originally looked like?” Soo Soo gave a gentle sigh .
Tian Lie was checking their surroundings while Nicole quietly wiped the warblade in her hand .
The place where they were at… to call it large, it might be boundlessly large; to call it small… … perhaps it was just an illusion .
After the three of them walked into the curtain of light, they entered this empty space .
“Didn’t you say we would be able to meet up? Where are you? Hey!” Tian Lie shouted aloud .
Soo Soo was shocked by Tian Lie’s sudden outburst . She turned to glance at Tian Lie for a moment . Next, she pursed her lips to the side and continued to look upward .
“Does it look good?”
Words suddenly rang out from beside Soo Soo’s ear .
The voice was pleasant and it carried with it a hint of geniality; it gave off a very warm feeling .
Soo Soo raised her brows but did not turn her head back . She also did not turn to check her surroundings . Instead, she gave a light smile – it was a very cold smile . “So, are you teasing us?”
“Why do you say that?”
“You were the one who said, enter the curtain of light and we will be able to meet you . ”
“I was not lying . ” The voice had a hint of ridicule in it as it continued, “You fellows have indeed met me – a part of me . ”
Soo Soo lowered her head and considered the reply . “If so, this place… … all of it is ‘you’? This empty space?”
“A part . ” The voice laughed and said, “Are you very disappointed?”
“I thought I would be meeting a ‘person’ . ”
“I did not say I would have the appearance of a ‘person’ oh . ” The voice continued, “This is really arousing my sense of curiosity, little girl . Originally, I thought that bald fellow is the most interesting of you three . However, after you three entered, I am gradually realizing that you are the most interesting one . ”
“Oh . ” Soo Soo did not ask “What is interesting?” . Instead, she had calmly responded with an oh .
“Hey, had no one every told you that this way of talking makes it hard for people to continue talking to you?”
“You are not a person . ” Soo Soo gave a stabbing reply .
“… … fine . ” The voice appeared to be smiling . “Can you tell me, why does this body of yours have two personalities?”
“Have you never met people with split personalities? I had thought this is not a very rare case in this world . ”
“Of course I know about split personalities . However, I have never seen a split that is so… perfect . ” The voice laughed and continued, “Darkness and light co-existing together… … truly, interesting . ”
Soo Soo gave a harrumph in response . She abruptly pulled out a mobile phone from her pocket . After turning it on, she held it and began tapping it .
“What are you doing there?”
“Playing a game . Although there is no connection here, I can still play offline mode,” Soo Soo replied coolly . “Your topic of conversation is too boring . I have no interest in continuing . ”
“ . . … …”
The voice grew silent for a long time . Finally, it laughed out again and said, “Little one, you are really interesting . I had thought that you would be asking me a lot of questions . For example, who am I, what is this place, what I want to do… …”
“Would you answer?”
“Naturally, I would not easily answer those questions . ”
“There you have it . Since you won’t be answering, why should I ask them?”
“… … ha hahahahaha . ”
The voice laughed out once more . It did not take long for Soo Soo to hear it speak up once again .
“Do you want to meet me? Get up and keep walking straight . One hundred steps . After that, you will be able to see the real me – come alone . The other two, for now, I have no interest in meeting them . ”
Tian Lie shouted, cursing every once in a while as he did, “I thought that the masters of this place should be absolute experts . Could the words of absolute experts be of no value?”
“Enough, you have been raising a ruckus for long enough,” Nicole said coldly . “Why don’t you calm down . Let us discuss how we should get out of this place . ”
Tian Lie rubbed his chin . “This place should be a separate space . Getting out of here is simple . As long as we possess enough power to break through this space, we can… …”
As the two of them were chatting, Tian Lie turned his head backward . His face sank .
“Where is Soo Soo?”
Nicole turned her head and found that the spot occupied by Soo Soo earlier was now empty .
Soo Soo had disappeared .
…
Soo Soo was stepping forward while silently counting . After taking 99 steps, the little girl suddenly halted her steps .
“Hey, I told you, 100 steps . It has only been 99 steps . ” The voice rang from beside her ear .
Soo Soo pursed her lips and smiled . “I am just testing to see if you are still looking at me . ”
“Well, you have done your test . Take one more step and you will be able to see me . ”
“… … but I am suddenly feeling hesitant,” Soo Soo suddenly said . “What happens if you are ugly?”
“… … eh?”
“Good looks are justice,” Soo Soo said as-a-matter-of-factly . “Given my age, it is only natural for me to judge a person by their looks . If you have a very ugly appearance, I will not want to see you . Tell me first how you look . I will consider it for a bit . If it does not meet my expectations, let us not meet up . ”
“… well then, how do you wish me to look like?”
“Mm…” Soo Soo frowned as she pondered the question . Then, she slowly said, “Not too tall, a bit lean, no need to be too handsome, but must have a very clean look . Have the air of a scholar, a little on the elegant side and… … nails must be cut . Very clean attire . Mm… … when laughing, there must be a very warm feeling and when talking, the tone must sound pleasant . Right, preferably… …”
“Preferably someone who writes novels, right?” The voice spoke up with a hint of ridicule . “Just say you want to see Chen Xiaolian, won’t you?”
“Sigh . ” Soo Soo sighed . However, she spoke with a solemn tone . “You got that right . I have no interest in meeting you at all . Right now, the one I want to meet the most is Xiaolian oppa . ”
“Is that so? Then, continue ahead and take your hundredth step . I will fulfil your request . ”
Soo Soo took a deep breath . She looked down at her feet before slowly moving her left foot out to take one more step forward .
The final, hundredth step .
…
The thin figure seated upon the throne stood up . After he stood up, they saw that this person was astonishingly tall . His eyes seemingly looked down at Chen Xiaolian as he cackled . “Oh, kill me? This is not my first time hearing something like this . Hopefully though, your words match your skills . ”
Chen Xiaolian pulled apart the wooden sticks from the makeshift sled that was on the floor, creating two pieces of club . Gripping the clubs in his hands, he strode toward the man without any hesitation .
However, he had just taken two steps when the thin fellow suddenly waved his right hand .
With a swoosh of his hand, three doors appeared before him .
“It is not that easy . You people are rare toys for my entertainment . ” The thin man cackled gleefully and continued, “Three stages . Pass three stages; only then can you truly face me . ”
“Oh, trying to be mysterious?”
“Of course not . ” The thin man’s voice contained traces of provocation . However, it would appear that his provocation was not aimed solely at Chen Xiaolian .
He then said in a low voice, “Because this is originally a game . According to the rules of the game, shouldn’t things progress in such a manner? First, make your way through the stages laid out before you . Only after you successfully passed the stages can you face the BOSS . ”
After saying that, the thin man pointed at himself and said, “I am the BOSS . You want to face me? Then first clear the stages before you!”
Chen Xiaolian frowned . He stepped forward, attempting to circle around the doors, only to hear the man saying coldly, “You cannot circle around it . This is the rule of this space . Unless you complete the stages before you, you will be unable to meet the real me – this body before you is just a manifestation . ”
Chen Xiaolian harrumphed . Suddenly, he raised his hand . Next, the wooden club in his hand shot out like a javelin toward the man on the platform .
The wooden club shot through the man’s body and fell onto the floor .
“As expected, that is just an illusion . ” Chen Xiaolian frowned .
“Three doors, three stages, begin from the one on your left . You have a total of one hour, beginning now . After the one hour is up, if you cannot complete the three stages, all of you will be sent out of my castle into the forest outside… … trust me, this time, you will not be able to get out from the forest . ”
After that, the thin man disappeared .
Chen Xiaolian took a deep breath .
Forcing down the impetuous fury in his heart, he turned around to look at Hossein and the others .
“Enough, since there is a need to fight, we’ll take it one step at a time . ” Hossein put on a straight face and walked over to assess the three doors before them .
The frames of all three doors appeared normal . There was nothing out of the ordinary about them at all . The cherry wood was engraved with carvings and had a metal door handle . Hossein reached out with his hand to feel it . It was cold to the touch .
Chen Xiaolian turned to look at the two women . Lin Leyan said nothing, she simply looked at Chen Xiaolian .
He then took a deep breath and said, “Let’s go . There is no easy way out in battle . No matter what, killing that fellow is our objective . ”
…
The first door, open .
Hossein had been the one to twist open the door handle .
The knight had taken the lead while the two women stayed in the middle . As for Chen Xiaolian, he stayed in the rear position .
The door was clearly some form of spatial translocation portal . After stepping through the door, the four of them found themselves in an open area .
Looking at their surroundings, they found that it appeared like a large, circular colosseum – it was as large as a football field .
The stands on the bowl-shaped colosseum were empty . The structure also appeared somewhat dilapidated .
The thing that left the deepest impression on the four of them was… … the air . It was filled with a foul odour .
Yes, a foul odour .
Be it on the ground or the stands in the corner, all of them were stained in dark red colour . It was as though they had been sprayed with blood . A number of the places had also gone to ruin, seemingly due to something striking or impacting upon them .
Craters and cracks could be seen upon certain stands .
“I do not like this place . ” Hossein retrieved a piece of handkerchief . Flicking it open, he used it to cover his nose . At the same time, he also pulled out another piece for Jenny .
A piece of paper suddenly drifted down from the sky above to fall on the ground before the four of them .
Chen Xiaolian bent down to pick it up and saw that there were words written upon the paper .
“Prompt: First stage of the game begins: Objective: Kill every monster you can see within this arena . Time limit: 20 minutes . If you cannot kill off all the monsters here within the allocated time limit, you will have failed . If the combatants die, you will have failed . Special prompt: Shutting down the monster re-spawning program is necessary to complete the second stage . Thus… … you may choose to split your forces to forcibly end the second stage of this game . Lastly, death may not be the end, but you fellows… … are dead . ”
This highly mischievous note made Chen Xiaolian feel dubious .
Prompt?
This was an attempt to imitate the ‘system prompts’ .
As for the ridiculing words in the note…
Kill all the monsters…
What is the monster re-spawning program? Complete the second stage first?
Before Chen Xiaolian could discuss the matter with Hossein, creaking sounds suddenly came from a distant spot within the colosseum . It sounded as though some metal winch was being turned
On the far side of the colosseum, two brick walls on the stands separated to reveal a wooden door inside . On the surface of the door were the words ‘Second Stage’ .
At the same time, the brick walls on either side of the wooden door suddenly swung forward…
Boom!
A swarm of black coloured silhouettes charged out from the openings created by the opened brick walls .
Werewolves, vampires, zombies, monsters… … Chen Xiaolian even saw something he had seen in another instance dungeon . Wearing broken armour, it was none other than the Demon Soldiers .
The swarm rushed toward them like a tidal wave . There appeared to be at least hundreds of thousands of them .
“Bring it!” Chen Xiaolian bellowed . He caught hold of Lin Leyan, who had already turned pale, and moved her behind him . As he was about to pull out his sword, he suddenly noticed Hossein stepping forward .
This former knight got down on one knee . He had one hand on the ground while his other hand was placed upon his lips . He kissed his middle finger… … then, a halo of light burst out from his middle finger . Like a ring, the halo of light became imprinted upon his finger .
When Hossein stood up once again, the air around him shuddered violently .
“Heretics, all of you, disperse before the Light of the Lord!”
Hossein roared out and raised his right hand up into the sky . His hand grasped the air and a golden coloured sword appeared in his hand, just like a lit torch .
His hand still raised, this knight stood tall as he observed the wave of monsters swarming him . Next… … he abruptly sent the sword in his hand swinging down .
“Purification!”
Dazzling golden light descended .
Facing the golden light, the charging swarm of monsters became like snow under the blazing sunlight; they burst apart and disappeared .
The countless monsters that were charging forward screamed wretchedly as the golden light showered them . Then, they burst into dust and crashed down to the ground .
All of that happened in the span of only mere seconds . After the golden light faded away, the entire colosseum returned to a tranquil state .
It was as though nothing had happened .
Chen Xiaolian was stunned . He stared at Hossein’s back .
This knight’s power… … was far beyond his imagination .
Earlier, when he was using the ‘purification’ skill, Chen Xiaolian could clearly feel it .
That vaguely felt like… …
[S] class?
Hossein exhaled deeply before turning around to look at Chen Xiaolian . His face appeared calm, though slightly pale . “I have not used this power for a long time now . I think… … I can still hold on . ”
Chen Xiaolian took another deep breath and said, “You are more powerful than I had imagined . ”
“This first stage doesn’t seem too difficult . Let us move forward,” said Hossein with a snort .
Next, however, the faces on the two of them sank .
The creaking sounds came once again…
The brick walls on every stand within the circular colosseum opened up simultaneously .
This time, not only did the brick walls on the ground floor opened up . Even the walls on the middle part of the stands, the top part of the stands, every entrance and exit points, every place with brick walls swung open to reveal a passageway within .
Roaring sounds came from every corner .
Boom!
It was as though the gates of Hell had been opened . Innumerable monsters swarmed out from every corner of the colosseum .
The countless horde of monsters marched forward, seemingly intent on inundating the four in the middle of the colosseum .
Endless! Limitless!
“Damn, damn it… … just how many… …”
