Doomsday Wonderland Chapter 2090: Hints from the Goddess’ prophecy
"I have never thought about throwing her somewhere and walking away."
With a crisp sound of opening the bottle, the bottle cap rolled silently onto the thick carpet. Qingjiuru raised the bottle of wine, like an old cow drinking water, and drank it without tasting it. After a few big sips, he sighed with great satisfaction. After drinking, his eyes gradually became more and more watery. , as if reflecting the night pool of diamond starry sky.
"...Especially when I realized that you didn't seem to appear in any of the twelve realms in the second year."
He looked at the wine bottle in his hand and whispered: "At that time, I was carrying another unconscious body alone. I couldn't bear to leave her alone, and I knew that I would be greatly hindered by this... I I am trapped in anxiety and helplessness day by day, and I can only wait for the day when circumstances force me to be unable to carry her with me anymore, so that I can abandon her and be forgiven by my conscience. ”
Lin Sanjiu couldn't say anything, because there were no words that could put all the anxiety and urgency she felt back then and the shame and gratitude she felt now into Qing Jiuliu's hands; she couldn't think of any words that could put her His struggles and hardships over the years have been ironed out.
"I'm sorry," she could only say these few weightless words in the end, "I..."
"I know, you probably have too much time to take care of yourself."
Qing Jiuru glanced at her and said: "I'm telling you, during that time, as long as anyone was willing to listen, I would scold you. If no one listened, I would scold you in front of the great witch. Don't watch me hang. My brain has scolded you so many times, but I know that as long as there is a glimmer of hope, you will rush over with all your strength... The reason why you didn't show up must be because you couldn't show up."
Lin Sanjiu felt that the blood all over her body was hot. She wanted to laugh, to be grateful for his understanding, and to bury her head in his knees and cry quietly.
Amidst her turbulent emotions, one thought was quite clear: If Qingjiuru had the opportunity to exchange insults with the puppet master, she would not have a good life.
"Speaking of which, you have accomplished something that even my previous psychological counselor could not accomplish."
Qing Jiuru leaned on the chair and stretched out. "Because I have the great miko with me, I can no longer live the muddy but leisurely life I used to live in. I can't throw her aside. I look for drinks by myself. When I get drunk, I Let's sleep on the roadside for a night? Not to mention that no one will care about her. When I was guarding her, countless monsters and monsters came. If I turn around, the great witch dares to give me nothing but a skin."
"What happened next?" Lin Sanjiu asked in a low voice. For some reason, she couldn't help but want to laugh. "How did you end up in this copy?"
"What does 'falling' mean?" Qing Jiuliu waved his hand, as if he was offended: "You make it sound like I am trapped here. This is my own choice."
Lin Sanjiu was startled. "Did you choose to be a dungeon employee?"
"More than that," Qingjiu Liu slowly swallowed a sip of wine before saying, "I found this copy on my own initiative."
"What?" Lin Sanjiu stuttered, "Why, why?"
Kiyokuru seemed to have been holding back his strategy and cleverness alone for too long, and now he was finally able to reveal his beautiful feathers to others, and his face lit up with dazzling pride: "I'm entering After the Karma Museum, I realized that you might not come, but I took the Grand Miko with me and couldn't live like this forever, so I came up with a way."
Lin Sanjiu almost leaned over the table, but Qing Jiuliu lowered his head and looked at his watch, and suddenly said: "Ah, I almost forgot."
"What?"
"You must start gambling when you enter the VIP room, otherwise you will be expelled." Qingjiuru said, patting the gambling table, and the next second countless gambling equipment fell from the air. Some of them Lin Sanjiu knew, some they didn't, and quite a few of them didn't seem to have anything to do with gambling, and there was even a squealing soup pot mixed in among them.
"The gambling content can be decided by the dealer. What are you better at? We can pick an easy one and talk about it while betting."
Lin Sanjiu opened his mouth, unable to find much potential in himself as a gambling king, so he had to choose a game he had heard of: "Hmm... black, black jack?"
"Hey, I can't tell, do you still know about Black Jack?"
Qingjiureu stood up, raised his hand in the air, and a string of playing cards suddenly flowed up like a long dragon, snapping together in his palm. It's just a simple card dealing, but he does it smoothly; especially when Qing Jiu is clean and tidy and has no pretense, he is like a magnet with the Dragon Palace effect - people can't help but look at him, and when you feel like you After just one glance, several minutes had actually passed.
"I thought at the time that the best situation I could pursue was for the Great Miko and I to stay in one place without being teleported, so that you would have the greatest chance of finding us. Secondly, this place is not It was dangerous for me and the Great Miko... Not only me at the time, but I am afraid that in the eyes of everyone, this was impossible to achieve. There is no place in the entire apocalyptic world that can accommodate such a wish... So I know, I had to think outside the box. So, I thought about copies."
When Qing Jiuliu finished speaking, he had two more cards in his hand; Lin Sanjiu also had a red Q in front of her, a card with his back to her.
"This is an almost impossible task," she sighed. "When most people think of dungeons, they only think of weirdness and danger...but you found a way to survive from the most terrifying place?"
"I did a lot of research in the Karma Museum at that time," Qingkuru smiled lazily and said: "Of course I don't want to become a replica creature, so how should I use the replica? The answer must be It landed on a certain dungeon with unique rules. So I have studied almost all the dungeons in the Karma Museum that are tempting to get involved in, whether it is the information obtained from the "One Hundred Thousand World Shift Dreams" or the mouths and tails of the streets and alleys. Narratives passed down... Finally, I realized that there is a desolate large copy on this island, which may be of use to me."
Lin Sanjiu listened with rapt attention, and when he stopped, she urged: "What next?"
Qingjiu Liu looked at her, and the two stared at each other in silence for a second or two. Qingjiu Liu finally spoke: "What do you think I am doing? You open the cards."
"Oh, yes," Lin Sanjiu finally realized and hurriedly opened the card and saw a 10. "Then I should ask for the cards, right?"
Qingjiuru narrowed his eyes, slowly tapped his card with the number 8 on it, and asked, "Are you sure?"
Black Jack seemed to collect the points through cards. Although Lin Sanjiu couldn't remember exactly how many points she had to collect, she remembered that it was higher than the 20 points she had on hand. She patted the table proudly and said: " Want it!"
"You're so hot," Kiyokuru couldn't help complaining when he threw a 5 to her, "You don't know how to play blackjack?"
"How many chips should I give you?" Lin Sanjiu didn't take it seriously at all, "I made a lot of money outside, which is enough for you to finish the story."
"You are lucky. Your dealer is unfair, uses his power for personal gain, and is willing to accept another bottle of wine."
Lin Sanjiu chuckled, took out a bottle of whiskey from the card library and handed it over: "Go on, I happen to have a lot of this kind of wine."
Qing Jiuliu looked at the bottle of wine that Yu Yuan suggested she put away and used to appease the puppet master at critical moments. She was very happy and praised, "Your taste has improved," and then continued: "Drag a dead witch through every road provided in the dungeon to the casino at the end... It is really not an easy task. I feel so tired just thinking about it now. But I know that when I am completely After defeating every challenge along the way, I at least had a foundation for communication when I reached the finish line."
"Every one?" Lin Sanjiu's eyes widened, "Have you walked every road outside?"
"At that time, the dungeon had not developed so many paths," Qingjiuliu waved his hand and said, "It seems that there were only twenty or thirty paths."
"Then...what then?"
I don’t know why, Qingjiu Liu looked at the big and small things on the gambling table and was silent for a few seconds before saying quietly: "The conclusion is actually very simple, just one sentence... I am the one in this copy. The first human employee."
Lin Sanjiu took a breath.
"Why?" She thought for a moment and asked, "Could it be that you decided to recruit employees for this dungeon?"
"It may be unbelievable to say, but I negotiated with the dungeon for a long time and used all the means I thought I could convince it... Although I still don't know the specific working principle of the dungeon, but there is one thing. That’s when I understood. Any copy must continue to attract people to enter in order to maintain it. This copy,”
Qingjiureu said, raised his hand and gestured around, and said: "I am not very lucky. I was born in the middle of the sea, surrounded by nothing. Evolutionaries who are not particularly unlucky generally cannot get in. Then To say it was a difficult life is an understatement."
"Now..." Lin Sanjiu looked around.
“A very important reason why I was able to convince the dungeon at that time was that I told it that humans could bring more humans to the dungeon… and with the participation of human employees in the design, the dungeon’s paths would be more diverse and more diverse. Only when it is targeted can the copy be more complete."
Qingjiuru sighed and said: "But if I let more people die in the dungeon for my own selfishness, I can't have a clear conscience... So I reached a consensus with the dungeon~IndoMTL.com ~Those who fail in the dungeon can be accepted as employees by the dungeon and have to work for several years as a punishment for failure."
When he said this, he looked at the slightly swaying liquid in the wine bottle and said softly: "In the past few years, I have always felt like a giant sea monster. I don't know that any tiny movement will cause me to explode on the distant sea. It caused huge waves. I didn’t want to lose balance on the mathematical problem of human life, so I became more and more cautious... Except for using a little trick to finally lure you to the dungeon, I haven’t done anything for the dungeon for a long time. Real change."
Lin Sanjiu originally wanted to ask "what means", but intuitively realized that he had not finished speaking, and I was afraid that the key point was still behind.
"Recently, I have become more and more suspicious that the replicas are learning from human employees and want to keep these people here forever..." Qingjiuru looked at his hands and murmured: "I often think, How much of an evolved person am I now, and how much of a replica creature am I now?"
Just when Lin Sanjiu was horrified, another realization suddenly came into her mind - and at the same time, she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
"Goddess..." she said to herself, "the 'powerful and beautiful creature' that Goddess refers to...it turns out to be you."
