GOR Chapter 664 One Conclusion



 

“Not right?” Both Chen Xiaolian and Qiao Qiao became surprised . “Didn’t we successfully rescue Qiao Qiao out?”

“It is too successful . Thus, I feel that something is not right . ” Bluesea shook his head slowly . “Brother Qiao’s daughter… … mm, I’ll just call you Qiao Qiao . When we found you, you were incarcerated alone . Did you see other incarcerated Irregularities?”

“No . ” Qiao Qiao quickly shook her head . “I am the only one . ”

“Did you never meet others like you, who were unwilling to kill Awakened ones by carrying out clearing operations?” asked Bluesea with furrowed brows .

“Kill Awakened ones? Clearing operations?” Qiao Qiao shook her head in confusion . “You… … what are you talking about? I don’t get it at all . ”

“You were not imprisoned because you refused to join the Coalition?” 

“No . ” The same look of confusion remained on Qiao Qiao’s face . “I don’t even know why I was caught . I had thought… … you two know why . ”

Bluesea and Chen Xiaolian exchanged glances and saw shock in each other’s faces .

Originally, Chen Xiaolian had assumed that Qiao Qiao must have been incarcerated for rejecting the offer to join the Coalition . However, he had never expected that Qiao Qiao was not even aware of the refreshing issue in World’s End and the Irregularities’ clearing operations .

“Qiao Qiao, tell me everything regarding how you were captured to me in detail . ” Chen Xiaolian’s face was grim . He stood up, letting the blanket around him drop off as he pulled out the Sword in the Stone . Gripping the sword, he then took out the life signature detector and inspected his surroundings . Next, he gave Bluesea a signal to indicate that it was safe for now . However, he dared not lower his guard .



“All right . ” Qiao Qiao had also sensed that there was something amiss . Knitting her brows, she carefully recalled what happened before slowly speaking up, “As it so happens, the place where I woke up was inside the Jerusalem instance dungeon, the underground palace . ”

“When I opened my eyes and saw the familiar surroundings, I was shocked . Back then, I did not realize that I had died and had come to World’s End . I simply thought that… … we had won .

“Yet, when I looked up, I was unable to find you, Roddy, Soo Soo, Lun Tai, Xia Xiaolei… … even our opponents had all disappeared without a trace . I was the only one left within the empty underground palace .

“I tried using the guild channel to contact you only to find that I am incapable of accessing it . The storage equipment on me had also disappeared . Thankfully, my skills could still be used .

“Moving along the exit path, I got out and realized that the sky above was… … no longer blue and white . Mm, it is the same as what you can see now . It was then that I realized that I have come to the afterlife .

“After that, I saw several figures flying forward . They began searching around the instance dungeon . Despite noticing me, they did not care about my presence . None of them came to talk to me . They simply minded their own business as they searched around for something . Later on, I realized that they were searching newly sent instance dungeons for usable props .

“Later on, one within a group of two found a spear and the two fellows confronted each other for a moment . In the end, one of them decided to back down and the other one brought his bounty with him as he left .

“After considering it for a moment, I attempted to go forward to ask the remaining fellow about the situation here . From him, I found out the rules of operations of this World’s End .

“Since long ago, all Irregularities who died will be sent into World’s End . Here, they will possess what seems like an infinite amount of lifespan – as long as they do not get killed . Due to the loss of personal system, they can no longer obtain points from instance dungeons . Thus, most of the Irregularities who had entered World’s End, be they strong or weak, will no longer be able to enhance their strength . Only a small number of them who possess self-enhancing skills could slowly grow strong through time .

“Truth be told, most of the Irregularities who ended up in here are not that strong . Most of them failed to rise to an adequate level before dying in instance dungeons and get sent here . The strength of the Irregularities here all vary . With every refresh cycle, which occurs every three months, comes a fresh beginning . Although they would occasionally get into disputes and conflicts in pursuit of props, they generally would not put their lives on the line for the sake of those things . At any rate, they can live a decent life without provoking others .

“After finding out about that, I thanked him . Then, I chose a direction and set forth . I found a city-type instance dungeon and settled there . My thoughts on the matter was simple . Since the Irregularities within World’s End will never be cleared, I can just wait here . Although…”



Having said that, Qiao Qiao looked forward and smiled at Chen Xiaolian . “I don’t even know if I was hoping to meet you or hoping I would never meet you . Although I had been missing you every minute I was here, I knew that the moment I see you would mean… … you have died .

“Regardless, since I am still alive here, I have to live on .

“Not long after I arrived, I experienced my first refresh cycle . Everything around me disappeared in an instant, becoming a stretch of whiteness . The space of World’s End seemingly shrank away and we were all pulled into the mountain peak of Mt Olympus .

“The time when World’s End gets cleared is also the only time that all the Irregularities gather together .


“I was not interested in making contact with them . Thus, after the clearing process was done and new instance dungeons had been sent in, I left Mt Olympus . Finding a new place, I settled down once more . I did not go search for equipment . The only things I looked for were foodstuffs . Eat, sleep, reminisce .

“One day, someone suddenly appeared . It was a man .

“Without giving me any explanation, he attacked and defeated me . However, he did not kill me . Instead, he brought me back to Mt Olympus and had me imprisoned . I had no ability to fight back against him at all . I was like a baby before him .

“I do not understand what it was he wanted . I had asked him several times but he never answered . He would simply bring in food and water when the time came, but he never allowed me to leave .

“In the beginning, I was furious . Gradually, however, I grew indifferent . For me, where I live makes no difference .

“Then, you came . ” Qiao Qiao looked at Chen Xiaolian and smiled . “I had considered the best possible scenario . Maybe, after many, many years, after you’ve reached the end of your lifespan, you end up here in World’s End . Then, you would find me and we would live here forever . I never thought that you would… … commit suicide for me . ”

She bit her lower lip and her eyes teared up slightly . “Regardless if we can smoothly return, for me to be able to see you again, I am satisfied . ”

Chen Xiaolian smiled gently and pressed Qiao Qiao’s hands . “Don’t worry, we will definitely return . ”



Then, he turned to Bluesea . There was a slightly twisted expression on his face . “Mr Bluesea, there is really something wrong here . ”

“Yes . ” Bluesea stood up . Then, he moved toward the stump in the middle of the cabin and sat . “Qiao Qiao, do you understand my current state?”

“I understand . ” Qiao Qiao nodded her head . “After you died during Zero City’s fall, you were refreshed into an ordinary human, losing your memories as an Awakened . After that, you died a second time and was sent into this World’s End . ”

“Correct,” Bluesea replied coolly . “You should also know that an Awakened like me will be cleared off regularly . Do you still remember how long it has been since the last refresh?”

Qiao Qiao was stunned . She knitted her brows as she considered the question . In the end, however, she shook her head . “I cannot remember anymore . There is no day or night here . We can only depend on time measuring devices to gauge the time . Since I was imprisoned, I had no time measuring devices on me . ” 

“True . Besides, you have not arrived here long . Thus, you do know roughly how long the period of time between two refresh cycles would be . ” Bluesea nodded his head . “Truth be told, the clearing function of World’s End has temporarily come to a halt . Almost all of the Irregularities have come together to form a Coalition . In order to restart the clearing function, they have begun killing off Awakened ones . ”

Qiao Qiao’s face revealed shock and she was at a loss at what to say .

Bluesea continued . “The reason World’s End refresh function stopped was due to Zhao Yun, our companion . She had utilized a certain prop to protect an Awakened, making it so the clearing function cannot clear him . You can consider it as… … a stuck gearwheel . Since the Coalition is unable to figure out who that special person is, they could only resort to a simple and rough method – kill off all the Awakened ones . ”

“Why?” asked Qiao Qiao with a frown .

“Because, if the cycle is not restored, it is just a matter of time before the Development Team finds out about the irregular situation here . ” Chen Xiaolian continued for Bluesea . “If those from the Upper Plane decides to switch to manual clearing, it is possible that all the Irregularities here will be found out as well and cleared out . ”

“I… never knew . No one told me!” Qiao Qiao took a deep breath .

“Therein lies the problem!” Chen Xiaolian slapped the surface of the stump before him . “Before, I had assumed that you were imprisoned because you refused to cooperate with the Coalition . However, after thinking about it in detail, there is something amiss . Mr Bluesea…”

Chen Xiaolian turned to face Bluesea . There was an embarrassed smile on his face . “At risk of you laughing, I must say that if I had not met you here first and if I did not possess the means to leave World’s End, I really do not know whether or not I could say no to Wu Ya’s offer to join the Coalition . ”

Bluesea replied coolly, “This is human nature . We Awakened ones are meant to be cleared off on a regular basis . Thus, joining this clearing work is not something you can call vicious . It is either our deaths or everyone’s death . If I were also an Irregularity, I too, would have chosen to participate in the clearing operations . ”

Chen Xiaolian smiled bitterly and turned to face Qiao Qiao once more . “You said that you do not know what had happened to World’s End . If so… … that Coalition leader, why did he imprison you?”

The expression on Qiao Qiao’s face, too, turned serious . “I do not know . I really do not know at all . If I had known that was happening, I…”

She pondered for a moment before replying frankly, “I would have joined the Coalition . I still have the chance to meet you again in World’s End . There is no way I would let some feminine aspect of benevolence overrule me . So, what you are trying to say is, my imprisonment… … has nothing to do with the situation with World’s End?”

“Yes . ” Chen Xiaolian’s eyes slowly swept past Qiao Qiao and Bluesea . “You were imprisoned for a different reason . Weirdly, though, regardless of what that Coalition leader wanted from you, whatever agreement he wanted you to agree to, he should have asked . ”

“I am certain he did not . ” Qiao Qiao recalled back carefully and said firmly . “From the very beginning till the end, the words he had spoken total to no more than 10 words . He only told me to obediently stay there, that he would provide me with food and water and that I should not think about running away . Other than that, he had said nothing else . ”

“So… … as impossible as it may seem, there is only one conclusion . ”

Chen Xiaolian sighed before exchanging glances with Bluesea .

“That person had deliberately incarcerated you so that I would go save you . ”
