Hello, Arknights

Chapter 314 Beheading

"Now I have another question."

"I thought you were really honest and didn't ask any questions." Planster smiled slightly, "Ask me, I will try my best to tell you everything I can."

"Your measurements."

"…It's related to what I'm going to do later."

Of course, he was not horny, he was just testing the actress who played Ju Meng with frivolous words. Ling Dengxian tried to confirm whether she was exhausted or just pretending.

This will determine his attitude towards the scepter and the director's inquiries about information later.

But unfortunately, the other party's behavior was quite normal and he simply expressed disgust at the shameless behavior, so he couldn't make a conclusion.

"Well, you mentioned the beacon before... entering here, uh, the virtual dream reality, through the beacon, but why do the injuries they suffer here also cause the same injuries to their bodies in reality?"

While asking the question, Ling Dengxian, who was rushing in the direction pointed by Planst, suddenly saw a building plane appear above the road in front of him and then fell to the ground at an incredibly slow speed.

"Don't worry about it. The information here is already out of order. The scene can no longer be maintained. We have to speed up." Planst said in a deep voice.

Ling Dengxian retracted his gaze: "So this is not true?"

"You can try, but it will become a mess that is difficult to clean up." Kuranta laughed, "You are just not a beacon, but don't forget that you are not a homogeneous object. If they die, they may be rescued, but if we die, we will die on the spot."

Ling Dengxian couldn't help but quicken his pace when he heard this.

"Then, back to your question, the beacon itself is undoubtedly still this person. The consciousness that is absorbed into the information sea world is actually this person. The information is synchronized to the information sea, but it is not like us who have fully entered here. The damage suffered in the information sea in this semi-transmigration form will also be synchronized to reality. You can understand it as a temporary soul transmigration that is closely connected to reality."

"The infected knight who was killed just now..."

"Well, I can only hope that no one in real life sees his appearance. Otherwise... I'm afraid it will leave a trauma that will be difficult to heal for the rest of his life, right?"

"How the hell can this guy survive?!" Ling Dengxian felt like he was being fooled and became angry.

"So you are much more interesting than our boss. You react when I tease you." The actor who played Ju Meng tilted his head with an interested look, and then explained lightly before he got angry:

"Each world has its own rules. If we look at things like beacons from the perspective of the information sea, they are naturally dead and cannot die again. However, the information sea itself does not have the concept of 'death' or 'life'. Information reorganization and unstable water droplets disintegrating and reorganizing are common. So before their information is completely mixed up, if we break through the core of the information sea, the fragmented information will spontaneously attract each other and become complete again when they return to reality. That's what I told you - 'there is still hope.'"

"But we have to speed up, right?" Ling Dengxian said in a deep voice, "You don't know when the beacon fragments will be completely mixed."

"Yes, and this is also my request. You are not only saving your own people now, but also my people."

"You want to protect your people, and so do I." Having said this, Planst stopped laughing and became extremely sincere.

"..." Ling Dengxian was very surprised. This was different from the image of the scepter and the person who could perform those experiments that he thought it would.

"We won't flaunt our morality, but... we have hearts, and we value our own people. Although we are extremely capable and have knowledge that shouldn't be in this era, we are not 'gods' after all."

"Many things are not decided by one or two directors. We are divided into many factions, and it is all maintained by one person... I am not in charge of Ashe's experiment in the Burning Eye Project, so... Can you stop glancing at your weapon and watch the road carefully?"

Ling Dengxian would naturally not easily believe a potential enemy with unclear position just by listening to a few words of one-sided information, but it was indeed right to solve the problem at hand as the top priority at the moment.

He temporarily believed her words, her sincerity in wanting to protect his people, and sped up a little while jumping up and down. The person in his arms closed his eyes tiredly, but did not forget his work. He raised his hand: "...Change the route, go in the direction of my finger, and continue."

Ling Dengxian sped up again, and at this time, he saw a familiar figure.

……

The freezing cold air chopped down with the axe blade and penetrated into the bricks and tiles. When the pursuing enemy stepped on it, it exploded and spread out thick ice cones like durians, hitting the pursuer, but failed to cause any injuries to the enemy. After being bounced away, the one-eyed steel monster with the street lamp on its head got up again, climbed over the wall and pounced on the fleeing Wolper, tearing off a corner of his bloody clothes. The next moment, the white-haired, red-eyed figure chopped off the one-eyed street lamp with an axe!

"Get out of the way!" With another axe, she lifted up the heavy and "confusing" body of the monster, and Frost Leaf rolled over and got up from the ground to continue running away. She was already covered with wounds. In the fierce battle with strange monsters that kept coming one after another and there was no way out, she realized that this was not a battle with an end and started to flee in a panic. But she found that she had not much strength left.

"At a time like this...where did that bastard go?"

“Damn it, that guy is so weak, will he die before me? I haven’t brought you back yet. If the captain dies before the team members, Bai Ge, you will become the biggest joke of Rhodes Island in the past two years, and you will be nailed to the pillar of shame…”

I don't want to have such a shameful captain.

She did not continue to talk to herself, because she had to deal with the crisis in front of her: the ground, which had become unstable not long ago, suddenly surged like waves, and she lost her balance and was thrown into the air. She could feel the monsters jumping on her back. At the critical moment, she took advantage of her racial advantage and burst out her potential. She twisted her body to a very strange angle in the air, a degree that she could never do in her daily training. She forced herself to create some distance again and barely avoided the monsters' claws.

But she couldn't avoid the fall that followed. Severe pain spread throughout her body. The wounds on her back and thighs burst open, and Frost Leaf spat out a mouthful of blood. She was not sure if there were any internal organs fragments. She estimated that the height of the fall was five or six stories high, and her landing posture was not good, with her back to the ground. Her cervical spine was also impacted, and her bones were in severe pain. Even if she wanted to get up and run away, she could not do it with her physical fitness alone.

But if she didn't run, she would soon be torn to pieces by those monsters.

Frost surged and ice formed on the girl's spine. Under this emergency treatment method that was likely to leave sequelae, she got up again and continued running.

But soon, she had to stop again, and this time, she felt the despair deeply.

From the crack in the ground, a monster head over 20 meters long rose from the ground. Its eyes facing her side were glowing with chaotic light, looking down at the fragile creature, blocking her path and also cutting off her way to survival.

Facing an enemy who was much taller than him, although Frost Leaf had not yet let go of the handle of the long-handled axe, he no longer had the will to fight.

With a mixture of severe pain in her body and despair in her heart, Wolper, who had almost broken her teeth, angrily swung her axe and tore out several cold axe blades behind her, causing three high-intensity frost explosions one after another behind her. In the sudden drop in temperature, the cold wind blew, blowing her white hair, and her red pupils almost turned into sharp blades to chop down -

Fragments of the warlock's circuit device on the axe handle fell and broke into smaller pieces on the unstable ground. The spellcasting device that had been working under overload for a long time was finally completely destroyed at this moment. It was already very fortunate that it did not completely collapse until this moment.

But Shuangye is now risking his life, and he is risking his life knowing that it is a dead end.

If the surgical circuit is gone, then use your own lesion!

The chill swept through her. She had never used Originium skills so desperately before. She could feel the severe pain brought by the worsening and spread of the ore disease, but at the same time, she also felt an unprecedented sense of pleasure, a sense of destruction that came from casting the spell with all her strength regardless of the cost.

She leaped high, her spine shattered along with the ice, shattering every moment before the final axe fell, and then replaced by frost. The axe blade that fell straight on the monster's eyeball had turned into a complete ice axe before it actually fell. Then, a loud shattering sound broke out in an instant.

She began to fall, and she could feel the impatient howling of the monsters on the ground, but her eyes were fixed on the monster's eyeball that she had desperately cut off -

The chaotic light flowed more restlessly, and a crack appeared on the "eyeball". She finally saw clearly that there was an invisible layer of protection on the eyeball. No wonder it did not make any defensive moves even though her movements were so obvious. It believed that she could not pose any threat to itself at all, even though it had given up everything.

But it also brought it a surprise. In its expectation, even this crack was not there.

Could it be...that she understood something when she delivered the final blow?

This is what it was thinking, but Frost Leaf, who swung the last axe, was completely desperate and allowed himself to fall, meeting his death.

At this moment, a figure flashed in her gradually blurred vision.

"...Ye, Senior Shuangye!"

When she tried to open her eyes again, she saw that extremely familiar face, now silent, without the usual easygoing and gentle smile.

I... was caught?

She was so overcome by the severe pain that she didn't notice that she was being hugged by the captain she cared about, and that the person showing an anxious look beside her was her junior Xinhuo.

"White... pigeon?"

"You're right, I'm indeed not qualified, I'm sorry..." Ling Dengxian placed her gently on the ground, his movements as gentle as if he was carrying a rare and fragile item. In fact, she was now more fragile than any fragile item.

"...Xinhuo, guard the Frost Leaves, don't let those things get close..." Ling Dengxian pulled out the Devourer and inserted it in front of her. His fingers trembled slightly. The next moment, a unicorn-like beast leaped out again, and its strong limbs supported a safe space.

"I understand." Seeing Frost Leaf's look, the usually taciturn Wolper also clenched his crescent-shaped sword. He was just a little introverted and lonely, but that didn't mean he didn't know who took the best care of him.

"You help as well, try your best." He glanced at the red-haired Kuranta who was rubbing his waist, then drew out the white sword and walked alone towards the towering huge monster head - the backup information source.

"Are you sure that's it?"

"One hundred percent. It's not like you can turn around and die with me in white flames... How rude of you to just throw away a living person like that?"

Ling ignored her. After accidentally meeting the fleeing Xinhuo and rescuing him, he tracked the backup information source all the way here. However, he happened to meet the lost Shuangye in such a terrible state.

"It looks much more troublesome than the one you dealt with?" Ling Dengxian narrowed his eyes and looked at the huge monster in front of him, suspecting that the actor who played Ju Meng had ulterior motives.

"Haha, compared to the main body, it can only rely on piling up basic information to piece together a huge shape. It's not at the same level at all. Moreover, even in terms of shape, it's not that big. It looks intimidating, but it's just a head, with no other parts." Planster naturally unceremoniously criticized the backup information source and Ling Dengxian together. "Even so, it will be difficult for you to deal with it without using White Flame and White Crown."

"Don't bother." Ling Dengxian was already furious at this moment. No matter what happened to him, he just wanted to kill this thing!

The sword's edge is slightly cold, the cold night is bleak, the blood plum blossoms are falling in the dark, chasing the light at night!

The sword derived from Chi Xiao smoothly cut through the building, and with its sharp edge it rushed straight towards the head of the monster, facing the thousands of information fragments raised by the monster.

The light shattered, and all kinds of information fragments finally landed on the tip of the sword, leaving a deep sword mark on the lower jaw of the monster's head. The effect of this sword was beyond everyone's expectations. He did not think too much about it, and a violent sword light burst out from the tip of the sword. He ignored the possible death, and driven by anger with one sword after another, he approached the tall enemy.

Planst was the first to realize what was going on. She knew very well that in reality Ling Dengxian's offensive would be greatly reduced under the same conditions. And his current performance could only mean that he had inadvertently found and mastered the fundamentals of fighting in the sea of ​​information.

Compared to other people, even if it is someone like Shuangye who is willing to fight to the death, it is still necessary to fight more effectively.

"consciousness".

It comes from the individual, it is inaccessible in the ocean of information, it is mysterious, and no theory can systematically cultivate it.

"Ling - White Dove! Sword intent! Use your sword intent! Cut the crack that the little fox created with all his strength!" Planst pointed the sword in his staff at the ground, and the resistance aura expanded in an instant, protecting himself and Frost Leaf Fire, and repelling the surrounding monsters.

The backup information source could also receive the information she was calling out, but it did not respond accordingly. Whether it was anger or fear, it just stared at the angry individual in front of it.

In their words, the angry man in front of them.

From its perspective, the broken body is not worth mentioning at all.

*See clearly*

*…*

*fear*

*Fragile*

*……die……*

The snow on the tundra was pure white, and the frost condensed into the enemy's blade, and along with the frosty moon in the sky, they were all shattered under the sword!

The sword mark that was more powerful than the moonlight split the monster, and along that crack, the backup information source collapsed calmly.

*……die……*

Ling calmed down his anger, but found that the backup information source had been staring at him until the moment before it collapsed.

He didn't know why, but he felt uneasy.

The next moment, his consciousness suddenly sank, and a hand grabbed him. The dream-binding actor shouted, "Go back, and don't use the white flame!!"

When my vision cleared again, I finally returned to reality.
