Chapter 263 Who Should I Choose?

Chapter 263 Who Should I Choose?
The Demon King is a summoned creature. Strictly speaking, although the Demon King is alive now... he will disappear after the competition is over.

Wen Xishu now speculates that living people cannot enter the underworld.

Even living people should not be able to enter the chaotic area where he is.

But now that we are here, there must be a way.

"The Demon King is a summoned creature. Not a pure life."

"It's worth mentioning that the Demon King is made of flesh and blood. Not long ago, I saw a hint in the Demon King's eyes that in order to leave the Lava Hell, blood is needed..."

"Could it be that the underworld rejects the blood of living beings?"

"Forget it. This is not what I need to think about right now. I won't think about how to leave first. I need to figure out how to get in."

Now it seemed that without a way to enter the underworld, the quest could not begin.

In other words, to get a high score, you have to solve at least one problem and turn yourself into a living dead.

"Turn myself into a summoned creature?" Wen Xishu thought of this method.

He really has the ability to do it, but it requires him to consume tower power.

His most powerful summoning method at present is of course the materialization of the barrage, which is the essence of the mental barrage.

In a sense, the embodiment of spiritual barrage is a wishing machine.

As long as you create extreme enough emotions, you can summon the corresponding content.

However, this consumes too much tower power, and Wen Xishu is not sure whether the benefits of this mission can make up for it.

But staying in a place like this for seven days... is really uncomfortable.

"Money is something that needs to be saved, but if you don't use it at a critical moment, it seems meaningless."

After thinking about it, Wen Xishu decided to use the tower power value.

But here comes the problem...

How should he enter the extreme emotion?

The last time he entered this state, it was not actually due to Wen Xishu himself.

Based on his past experiences, he gradually began to develop some emotionality. In the last round, he was even distracted by his concern for Lao Zheng and ignored some clues.

But at this moment, Wen Xishu couldn't deceive himself. That kind of extreme emotion couldn't be brought about easily.

"What should I do..."

"I want to use the power of the barrage to create a me that can enter the underworld, neither dead nor alive..."

"Let's not even talk about whether my fifteen points of tower power are enough to summon something of this level."

"Even if there is, I really can't seem to get into that mood."

Deceiving oneself is a technical skill, and Wen Xishu really does not possess this skill.

Suppose Lao Zheng dies, A Miao dies, Albert dies, Liu Jinsen dies...

That would be very sad, but the problem is, you know it is fake.

Thinking about this, Wen Xishu seemed to have an idea...

I know, but a fool doesn't know?
Wen Xishu began to close his eyes. He had actually found a way to communicate with the fool.

"Are you there? Wen Xishu, I have something to tell you."

no respond.

"This is not a good thing. You... have to be mentally prepared."

Still no response, Wen Xishu felt like he was making a fool of himself.

But he couldn't:
"Wen Chaohua, something happened."

Still no response, but there was a reaction. Wen Xishu could feel something building up in his body.

From time to time, some images flashed through his mind.

That was the scene of Wen Xishu and Wen Chaohua playing in the old house of the Wen family.

"You lied to me! Do you think I'm stupid?"

The voice of the fool Wen Xishu finally appeared, and as soon as he opened his mouth, Wen Xishu almost couldn't hold it back.

"My brother is invincible! Nothing will happen to him!"

Wen Xishu didn't panic. After all, he didn't know how much perception the fool could share with him...

So he still maintains his acting skills.

"I can't lie to a fool and tell him that Wen Chaohua is dead... Otherwise, if I get angry, it may not be a good thing. If I get overwhelmed by my emotions, I may not be able to control this body."

“And it’s really irrational.”

Wen Xishu thought for a moment:

"I received a message not long ago that Wen Chaohua was going to carry out a mission. Xiaoshu, you should know that many people in the Wen family died..."

The fool is silent.

Wen Xishu continued:
"Life and death are difficult to arbitrarily, but my brother...he insisted on doing this."

"He has entered the world of the dead, the world beneath our feet. I must find him and give him the clues that will bring him back."

"Otherwise, even if you are as strong as my brother, you will have to stay in the underworld and become a dead person."

Emotions welled up.

Wen Xishu knew that even though the fool was unwilling to accept it, as long as you made up the story in that direction, he would feel sad and upset when he thought of that scene, even if it was not true.

"The living cannot enter the land of the dead! Everything will come at a price, and we must find him as soon as possible!"

"Otherwise, you will never see him again."

In fact, Wen Xishu himself was quite calm when he told this story, but he tried to sound as sad as possible.

But then, he actually felt a little regretful.

The sentence of never seeing his brother again made the fool fall into sadness and loneliness in an instant.

At this moment, Wen Xishu seemed to have the same emotions as the fool.

He was stunned.

How lonely it is, as if all the light in the world is extinguished in an instant.

It was as if the whole meaning of life was just to wait for someone to come, but now, someone told him that person would not come.

In the huge vortex of loneliness, the voice of the fool rang out:
"Go save my brother... Even if you lie to me, I can't accept that my brother will die, even in a lie."

This sentence was like a Sagittarius arrow, piercing Wen Xishu. He suddenly felt guilty, as if he really deserved to die.

Is there such friendship in this world?

Even in a fictional world, even if he appears in other people's stories, malicious lies...

I hope he's alive too.

Wen Xishu sighed. He was actually very scared. What if one day in the future, he really learned that he would not be able to see Wen Chaohua...

Can this body bear that kind of grief?

"Go save my brother!"

This thought was so strong that it finally turned into rows of barrages, as if countless stars were born in this endless darkness.

The tower power value begins to burn at this moment.

Wen Xishu's thoughts also began to take shape at this moment.

"I need a being who is the same as me and can communicate with me!"

The barrage began to twist and change, and finally converged into everything, turning into a cold white figure.

Wen Xishu controlled his body and found that the figure with a cold white outline would make the same movements.

He immediately chose to lie on the ground.

A familiar feeling emerged.

Wen Xishu's body was being swallowed by the black liquid under his feet, as if he was trapped in quicksand. But soon, another force pushed him up.

He is a living person who cannot enter the world of the dead.

But on the other side, the "summoned creature" connected to Wen Xishu's consciousness... began to sink slowly.

The rules for entering the underworld are that there can be no living things. And... they cannot really exist.

The obsession of all living beings in the strange tower allows climbers to qualify to reach the gate of the underworld.

But to enter the gate, you have to get yourself out of the state of being "alive".

When these two are combined, even God cannot shake the rules of life and death.

But at this moment, Wen Xishu's consciousness finally entered the underworld.

But he also knew very well that he could probably only "travel in consciousness."

Just to enter the underworld, he had to use his secrets. To leave the underworld with a dead soul?

You can imagine how difficult it is.

But if it really happened...would it be considered the most powerful jailbreak in history?
……

……

Falling.

Wen Xishu only felt a strong sense of weightlessness, and his body was constantly falling.

When consciousness passes through layers of darkness and sticky liquid...

When the strong light stung his eyes, he saw the sky.

The sky is blue all around, just like the sea.

The body that continued to fall shattered many clouds.

Wen Xishu began to try to adjust his body.

At this moment, his real body was adjusting its body outside the endlessly dark gate of the underworld.

The consciousness makes the summoned barrage body perform the same action.

He quickly adjusted his posture, then leaned over and saw the scene of the "Underworld".

Countless ghostly things with human outlines that seemed to be incarnated were surging in the huge city.

He is about to fall into this city!

Just when Wen Xishu thought he was going to fall to the ground with a loud bang... he found that his body was caught by some gentle force.

The next second, he looked back and found himself hiding in a dark alley. There was no sky or clouds around him anymore.

"Shh! I know you will have questions, but don't have any questions yet." A colorful crow landed on Wen Xishu's shoulder at this moment.

"No ghosts here can see you. You are different from them and will cause panic."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I didn't expect that the person sent by the Obsession World... actually had the mark of the Land of Evil. You really have stacked up too many buffs."

The colorful crow was talking to himself.

Wen Xishu wanted to speak, but his intuition told him that doing so would be dangerous.

"You are not yet a being accepted by the underworld, so everything you see is how the underworld looks to the living."

"I am your assistant in the underworld. But I will only help you this time. Remember, you have never seen me, and you don't know me. All the equipment and assistance you have... are brought by yourself. They have nothing to do with me."

"Do you understand? Nod if you understand."

Wen Xishu nodded.

He really understood.

It turns out that there are undercover agents from the world of obsession in the underworld?
"Remember, you can only do this once at most. After all, this is a bug."

"The law enforcers of the underworld do not believe that any living person can reach the gate of nothingness, which is the infinite place where you were trapped at the beginning."

"You're not bad... Actually, you weren't the first one there, but you were the first one who found a way in."

"That place is infinitely large, in order to prevent souls from escaping and returning to the world of the living."

"If the dead souls leave the underworld, they will enter the land of nothingness, where there is nothing but darkness, endless darkness, boundless darkness."

"Eventually the dead souls will realize that they might as well go back to the underworld."

The colorful crow laughed mockingly.

"You can save anyone you want, you have to choose for yourself. There are countless people in this vast sea of ​​people, even people from countless worlds..."

"But in order to help you make fewer mistakes, I will give you some special help, that's all."

"If you die in the underworld... well, I will use my connections to treat you as well as I can."

"You can go to the Lower Spiritual Area, or you can look for it in... the Upper Spiritual Area."

"I didn't receive any other tips. I just knew that someone would take away souls, no matter who the target was."

"But it doesn't matter~ My job ends here, the rest is up to you."

A colorful feather fell on Wen Xishu's chest, and then, just like Ding Dong's phoenix feather, it merged into Wen Xishu's body.

To be precise, it is a conscious entity.

Although he didn't feel anything, Wen Xishu discovered that the world around him had changed. When he looked at these ghosts, they were no longer just gaseous ghosts.

But it has flesh and blood.

"You can speak now." said the colorful crow.

Wen Xishu said:
"Are you related to the world of obsession?"

The colorful crow said unhappily:

"Remember, this is a bug. It will be fixed next time. No one will be able to enter the underworld again, unless... unless you die in the underworld without accomplishing anything, and the administrators will not be aware of your existence."

"So, don't ask me who I am, don't ask me about everything. I didn't help you, I never helped you!"

Wen Xishu understood.

This is undoubtedly a taboo among taboos.

"So... there is no target? I can take away whoever I want?" Wen Xishu said.

The crow nodded at his shoulder:
"Of course~ It depends on your ability anyway."

"There are many people in this world. Some start with a bowl and end up becoming emperors, while others think of destroying the world because they failed to get into the university of their dreams."

"There are also those who, when a country is bullied by foreign powers, turn the tide and create a prosperous era."

"Of course, there are also people who have preserved human civilization by their own efforts after entering the doomsday era."

"Too many harms, or do you want to save some that are not so great?"

"That's true, for example, he died on a woman's belly, and some people slipped and fell into a shit pit and drowned while taking a shit."

"There are even people who were cheated on by women and jumped into the river out of frustration. I have to say, there are all kinds of reasons for human death."

"Remember, this world is very, very big, and is divided into multiple planes according to time nodes. You can find the Undead Horseman to take you to different time nodes."

"But remember, the underworld will reject you. Even if I help you, even if you come in... the underworld will still reject you. There will be dangerous, strange, and bizarre obstacles that suddenly appear."

"All your abilities are now available. This is due to my help. And... you also have some additional assistance."

"Okay, that's it. I have to go. You haven't seen me, and I haven't seen you~ Good luck, stowaway."

The crow with colorful feathers really flew away like that.

In this city full of ancient Chinese architectural styles... Wen Xishu suddenly felt a little confused.

Too free, right?
This mission... doesn't actually have any restrictions on who you can save?

He walked out of the dark alley, looked at the people coming and going...for a moment he didn't know who to choose.

He suddenly remembered the mission and said that he would make many important choices.

Obviously, the first choice is who to rescue. This choice itself is absolutely important.

After all, saving a dead passerby would not bring any benefit worth the tower power lost.

Wen Xishu soon came up with an idea.

"First, I have to find the Undead Horseman to take me to the timeline of my era."
