Zhong Yiyuan's words were like a bolt from the blue, and everyone was stunned.
The first thing that came to their minds was what happened last night.
Another trainee was the first to react.
That trainee also had five black lines of sin on his hands. Last night, only he and Zhong Yiyuan had removed one line of sin, while the others were normal.
Soon, he realized that something was wrong, which further confirmed Zhong Yiyuan's guess.
"Wait, where's my grandma? Where's my grandma? "
[F * ck, f * ck, f * ck, f * ck, f * ck. Is the original purpose of this dungeon to let the trainees cut off their family ties so that they can stay in this dungeon?]
[Oh my god, even if you know it's fake, you can't kill your family with your own hands! Moreover, these NPCs still have their memories … To be serious, it's no less than killing them with your own hands. Sigh]
[I knew this S-Level dungeon wouldn't be that simple. I've been wondering why the main system would be so kind as to let the trainees quit the game and stay here. Moreover, they can choose to go back to the infinite loop at any time. It seems that they have to kill their family members to stay. I'm speechless.]
The NPC who was questioned by Zhong Yiyuan wiped his tears and said, "Kid, we don't blame you. If we can exchange our lives for yours, we'd be willing to do it from the bottom of our hearts."
The other NPCs also nodded silently, looking at them with eyes full of kindness.
Zong Jiu frowned and said, "Are you saying that those black shadows last night were you? That only by killing you can we remove our sins? "
"No, it's not like that. Those people last night weren't us … You can't say that."
The nun who had been standing by the side said.
She drew a cross on her chest and said, "Humans are born with sins. This sin is inherent and can't be removed. But if that's the case, none of us can pass the Judgement Day."
Everyone calmed down and listened to the nun slowly.
This incident had to be traced back to the origin of the S-Level Judgement Day dungeon.
A year ago, the angel sent an oracle to inform everyone in the town that the end of the world would come in a year.
Before the end of the world, God decided to start a trial to decide everyone's fate. Those who were guilty would be sent to hell, and those who were innocent would ascend to heaven.
As everyone knows, people are born with sin. Just like how there is always a shadow under the sun, it follows the body like a shadow and cannot be shaken off.
If that was the case, then none of the humans would be able to pass the trial. They were destined to be smashed down by the heavenly fire, devoured by the sulphuric magma, and fall into hell.
The people in the small town were extremely flustered. They knelt in the cathedral all day long to repent and pray, hoping that God would give them a chance.
Perhaps it was a blessing from the heavens, or perhaps the townspeople were just devout. One day, a young pope was born in the town.
On the day of the little pope's birth, a dazzling light descended from the skies.
He was born with a miraculous power that could drive away evil. As long as one confessed to him, one could achieve the goal of eliminating evil. On the other hand, the young pontiff was compassionate toward the people of the world, which was why he used his own power to help the townsfolk distinguish between good and evil.
From then on, the City of Evil was born.
The City of Evil was behind the City of Kindness, while the City of Kindness was like a mirror.
Not only were the buildings symmetrical, but the residents of the town were also symmetrical.
Because the residents of the City of Evil were the evil personalities of the residents of the City of Good.
The good personality contained the brightest side of a person, and had the seven virtues praised by the angels.
The evil personality contained the darkest side of a person, which was the precepts of hell and the devil, the seven deadly sins.
After the separation of their personalities, the residents of the City of Kindness would forever lose their shadows. Because there was no haze under the light, even the angels did not have shadows.
The nun slowly said: "This way, on the day of Judgment, we can pass the trial of God and Jesus Christ and ascend to heaven. And the residents of the evil personality would bear the burden of our sins in our place, and complete the atonement in hell. "
Anthony understood something and scowled, "When we entered this instance, we also lost our shadows. Could it be that we were also separated from our evil personalities?"
"That's not the case."
The nun with the black scarf nodded, "His Holiness the Pope's purification power is too strong. In order to prevent the residents of the City of Evil from breaking through, His Holiness expanded the range of his power to cover the entire town. But all of you are outsiders who came from another dimension, so the method of separating your personalities is not suitable for you. It's just that when you enter the town, everyone's evil side will be temporarily suppressed, turning into the seven sinful black lines. "
"That's why it was said that as long as you remove the black lines on your arms, you can pass the Judgment Day."
Because removing the black lines was the same as the separation of the residents of the City of Kindness. It was just a different path leading to the same goal.
Speaking of this, her eyes were full of apology, "Sorry, because everyone was in a bad mood yesterday, we did not choose to inform you immediately. Please believe that we have no ill intentions."
At this point, everyone came to a sudden realization.
Since entering this instance, all the trainees' emotions were a little off.
Not only because their memories were unsealed, but they also became emotional and emotional.
What was more frightening was that they could not bear any evil thoughts.
If it was just to survive, under the premise that the NPCs in this instance were all fake, slaughtering them was not something unacceptable.
Because their evil thoughts were suppressed, the only good that was left was not allowed to have evil thoughts.
At least, they would not be like Zhong Yiyuan now, who sat on the ground as if he had lost his soul and began to wail.
[Oh my god … I said that I felt that the trainees in this instance were a little emotional. I didn't expect it to be because of this.]
[Even emotions can be manipulated. Oh my god, I take back what I said before. The collapse of the outside world is nothing, but the collapse of one's self is the scariest.]
[If you want to pass the Judgment Day, you have to have a good personality. No, if you don't have a complete personality, even if you pass the Judgment Day, you will be a hidden danger when you return to the trainees' dormitory. Good and evil are both necessary parts of a human, and you can't do without either. If you stay in this instance … you can stay kind forever. Fine, you can only say that you lose some, but at least you won't lose your life, right?]
On the other side, the trainees' minds were in a mess, and they could only continue to listen to the nun.
"As for last night … midnight is the day when night meets day. In addition to the mirror reflection caused by the rain on the ground, the personalities in the City of Evil escaped."
"Why did the evil personalities want to escape?"
The nun sighed. "They want to drag the people of Virtue City down with them."
Actually, it was understandable because the evil personality was also a part of the human being. No one would be willing to fall into hell just like that and atone for the sins of the good personality in hell. Moreover, they were both personalities, but the evil personality could ascend to heaven. This was too unfair.
Therefore, before Judgement Day, the evil personality launched a crazy counterattack in order to drag the people of the City of Kindness down with him.
"Because the good and evil personalities are interconnected, if the evil personality is hit by the Lance of Purification, the opposite good personality will also disappear. So far, this is the only way we know of to make outsiders atone for their sins and remove the black lines on their arms. "
The NPC's face was bitter. "We only need to pray to His Holiness the Pope, and the outsiders must cleanse their sins in order to offset their own."
But they were all willing.
They were willing to be killed by the trainees and use their sins to offset the trainees' sins without any complaints.
[Doesn't that mean the difficulty of this dungeon has increased? Since they don't want to choose the first main plot, they can only choose the second main plot to destroy the dungeon. Good lord, both plots have to kill their loved ones.]
[Coupled with emotional effects, the trainees are all good personalities now. It would be strange if they could do it.]
[Am I the only one who has been curious about why Magician doesn't have any black lines on his arms? Now that I've heard the explanation of the dungeon NPC, I'm even more confused. Could it be that Magician was born without sin??? That's not realistic.]
[Isn't there another NPC in this dungeon? That cute little pope doesn't have any black lines either. But I'm starting to be curious too. What do the little pope and Magician have in common?]
[For example … they are both good-looking. jpg (Don't hit me)]
There was nothing wrong with the NPC's description. It didn't even hide anything.
Zong Jiu put away the tarot cards.
Coincidentally, the trainee who had been fused with the evil personality from last night woke up as well.
He looked very confused and didn't understand the situation. Because he was neither injured nor had any adverse reactions.
But the nun regretfully told him that he was destined to not survive Judgement Day.
"Why?!"
The trainee who had regained his shadow jumped up from the ground. "Why do you say that I won't survive Judgement Day?"
He had wanted to choose to stay in this dungeon after completing the main mission, but now he was splashed with a bucket of cold water.
"If we were possessed by the evil personality, we could ask His Holiness the Pope for help. But we don't have a way for outsiders to separate the good and evil personalities …"
The nun smiled bitterly. "Or you could choose to kill a few more of your family members and see if you can separate the evil personality that has fused with your body?"
The others' hearts tightened again, especially the trainees who had planned to stay in this dungeon.
If they wanted to stay, not only did they have to kill the NPCs who looked exactly like their family members, they also had to be careful not to be possessed by them.
Zong Jiu crossed his arms and said coolly, "Why don't we choose the second main mission?"
Even the NPC nodded in approval. "If we choose the second mission, there are enough explosives in the town. We only need to get rid of the evil personality to kill us."
"No!"
"No, we can't choose the second mission!"
Immediately, there were trainees who objected loudly, and there were many of them.
Everyone was chattering. "There's no need to destroy the dungeon. It's not easy to find a place where we can withdraw from the competition. If we miss this village, there won't be another one."
"Indeed, let's not talk about how difficult it is to destroy the dungeon. We clearly have another choice. We should consider everyone's opinions."
Some trainees even whispered, "Brother Jiu, your strength is there. When you return to the trainee dormitory, you will definitely be one of the last hundred survivors. But our strength is limited. It's not that we want to be cowards, but we really don't know if we can survive. "
"Yes, Brother Jiu. Although everyone is willing to follow you, this is a very realistic problem … We just want to survive."
"Brother Jiu …"
Countless pairs of eyes looked at him pleadingly.
Among them were the trainees who had followed him since the barren village. There were also the Class 9 students who fought side by side in the No.1 Middle School Dungeon. There were also the team members who ran around the theme park with him during the Halloween event.
At this point, there was no need for further explanation. Zong Jiu had already guessed this result.
People always stood for their own interests. No matter how united a group was, as long as there were conflicting interests involved, they would become strangers in the end. If they insisted, there would be internal strife, and they would meet on the battlefield.
If it came to that, it would be too ugly.
At worst, it would just be team mode and complete the spy mode.
He could destroy this Instance Dungeon alone.
The Magician's mission was to ensure everyone's survival in this dungeon. As for what they wanted, it didn't matter at all in this dungeon where emotions were controlled by the main system.
Zong Jiu sighed in his heart and said lightly, "I understand."
