"Yeah, meow."
Boss Cat almost forgot that the show was about to end and there was no chance to play the Shadow World again. Even if he could still get rewards in the future, it would probably be taken care of by a new person.
Lanqi is a guy with extraordinary talent and strength. He would definitely not fight the Shadow World if he can avoid it. He really hasn't touched the Shadow World in half a year in the Northern Continent. It is completely impossible to expect him to reach the eighth or ninth level in his story.
"Why do I feel like there are only three of us challengers in Shadow World this time?"
Hyperion counted on her fingers.
She clearly remembered that there were 9 challengers.
In fact, it feels exactly the same as the three challengers in the Dark Eclipse Realm of Shadow World last time.
It’s still their Lanmaoxiu, the old three-piece combination.
"It's okay, meow. This map is so big. Maybe other challengers are working hard in places we can't see."
The cat owner suddenly realized the problem.
Although it couldn't count the number of challengers, except for the four big demons who were AFK, Talia, as the challenger, pretended to be Kaliela, so there would naturally be a deviation in the number of people.
The cat boss didn't want to break Hyperion's fantasy, so he decided to help Tata continue this beautiful lie.
"Too."
Hyperion no longer studied the number of challengers, which was no longer important.
She looked below the Shadow World information.
What is really important is the change in mission objectives.
as predicted.
The mission objectives in Shadow World showcase brand new content.
[Mission Objective 1: Read the letter from old friend Kaliela; go to the Demon Realm Purgatory City Pascual & protect the little spark left by Kaliela; choose whether to open it. (Completed)]
[Mission Objective 2: Understand the state of mind of Lanclos of the Black Sun: 4.94%. (Completed)]
【任务目标3：挑战者全员生存至21天时限结束，剩余时间6天01小时34分。】
"..."
Lanci and Hyperion looked at each other.
This is a new change that occurred after the mission converged with Hyperion's.
"Is the Shadow World over?"
Hyperion confirmed.
Based on experience, once you complete the final battle, you have almost passed the Shadow World.
But this time, I always have an inexplicable feeling that the movie world has just begun.
You can clearly see at a glance that there is still a sequel and it is far from over.
But the movie world has clearly indicated that it is completed.
"The mission objective should still be able to continue, but no matter what choice is made, it should not affect the success or failure of the Shadow World."
Lanqi had never encountered such a situation.
However, according to the documents of the Shadow World Society of the Southern Continent, once a Shadow World mission is transformed into a completed state, it is equivalent to a success, and one only needs to wait until the Shadow World time limit ends and is settled.
"It's like after you finish your test, you turn to the back of the test paper and find there are some additional questions. You won't lose points if you leave them blank, and your total score won't exceed the upper limit if you answer them. You can choose whether to answer them or not."
He relaxed, spoke metaphorically, and rubbed his sore eyes.
He supported Talia and encouraged her to fight. He had been driving the whole way without much rest and now felt that he was reaching his limit.
[The gift that Kaliela left behind, as you guessed, is not something that wonderful, because if it was really a gift, she wouldn't have told you in the letter to choose whether to open it.]
Staring at the mission information, Lanqi's vision was a little dazed, as if he saw the following words.
"Then let's ignore the mission for the remaining six days and just have fun in the Purgatory Corridor Academy, meow!"
Boss Cat suggested excitedly.
No matter what's behind it.
It just wants to have fun in this legendary Purgatory Corridor Academy.
From now on, no matter what you do, the rest of these six days may not change much.
At most, completing the task will make the reward better.
"You guys can rest in school, I will continue tomorrow."
Lanqi pinched his brows and expressed his thoughts.
Continue the mission. According to the initial mission information and the direction of the entire mission, it is probably necessary to open the gift left by Kaliela.
After returning to Purgatory Corridor Academy and finding out a little more about it, Lanqi basically understood what was going on in the Inverted Mirror Corridor that had recently caused the teachers and students in the school to fall asleep.
This was undoubtedly the magic of Kaliela, and she may have left her "gift" deep in the Hall of Hanging Mirrors.
In order to open Kaliela's gift, Tamisa is the key to the entire mission, both explicitly and implicitly.
She should be the child of Lord Mist and Lord Maya who inherited the last soul of Kaliera as mentioned in Kaliera's letter.
He himself almost needed to rest for a while.
I'll ask Tamisa tomorrow after she wakes up.
However, unlike Lanci's decisiveness, Hyperion frowned worriedly.
"Lanqi, I feel like the aftermath of this shadow world is not going to be good."
Hyperion held Lanci's wrist with both hands.
Over the past two weeks, she has seen Lanqi's understanding of Lord Black Sun increase every day, and Hyperion has been worried.
Now that she saw that the mission in the shadow world could be completed and Lanqi was still fine, she finally felt relieved.
Let the era of blood moon destruction end here.
That's enough, there's no need to read on.
So far, it's a happy ending no matter how you look at it.
Even though in history Lord Black Sun Lanclos would die of old age six days later, he would die with great success and fame, and his reputation would last forever.
Compared with his miserable life, the final ending was quite perfect.
"..."
"Hyperion, imagine if your brain was connected to a magic terminal machine that could bring you endless happiness for the rest of your life, only joy, no sadness. If you were given a choice, would you want such a machine?"
Lanqi smiled helplessly, feeling the warmth from Hyperion's hand.
"It is important to note that once you enter this experience machine, you will be forever separated from real life and cannot return, but it is difficult for you to discover this fact. You will not be able to tell whether you are in the real world or the virtual world, and the ups and downs that should have been in your life will be replaced by smooth sailing."
This was a question he had asked the cat owner in Pariel, the Flower City.
The situation at that time was discussing whether Lanqi's behavior was correct in deceiving Miss Christina of Count Baptiste's family and telling her that Inoan was still alive, thus saving Miss Christina from sadness.
In the end, no conclusion was reached.
"This is almost the same as [Falling in Tenderness], but without the side effects."
Hyperion stared at Lanci and didn't let go.
She understood Lanqi's metaphors.
In Lanci's description, this hypothetical machine has no negative effects that could dissolve the soul and is a purely harmless experience.
"That's understandable."
Lanci affirmed.
"I do not want."
Hyperion answered clearly, looking away with a bitter expression.
Even she herself is aware of this contradiction.
Although she is the one who is most addicted to the gentle land of falling and cannot extricate herself, she is still very resistant to this kind of machine.
Because she wants the truth, even a cruel truth is better than a false beauty.
Well, for someone as clear-headed as Lanci, who wouldn't even hesitate in the midst of falling into the sweet embrace, the answer is very obvious.
He will definitely try to understand what Lancros of the Black Sun saw at the end of his life.
"But Ranchi..."
Hyperion didn't know how to organize her words to persuade Lanqi, and was a little tongue-tied.
"This is a shadow world. It doesn't matter whether you know the truth or not. You have to think about it. You have to think carefully about why you would open a gift box that is obviously not good."
She didn't want Lanci to come to any harm, nor did she want Lanci to be at risk of any negative changes.
But he seemed to be a little addicted to this shadow world.
Just seeing Lanci's understanding of Black Sun continue to increase, even if it is less than 5% now, Hyperion is very scared.
"Meow meow."
The cat boss was on Hyperion's lap, looking left and right at Lanqi and Hyperion.
It was the first time that Lanci and Hyperion had such a big difference of opinion.
They were not arguing, but they knew too well what the other was thinking and tried hard to convince the other.
As a cat owner who had personally experienced the trip to the Flower City, it knew that Lanqi's view on "Fallen Land of Tenderness" was not absolute.
He had previously deceived Countess Christine of Parieu, the Flower City, by concealing from her the fact that Inoan was dead, allowing the Countess to live with hope.
This shows that Lanci is not someone who necessarily chooses "real", he may also choose "protection" depending on the situation.
"Huberlian..."
Lanqi thought for a long time again.
"Some people need protection, some people need truth, and some people need to make decisions on their own."
He spoke slowly.
