The police officer's words confused everyone.
After the confusion, a deep panic followed.
In all the instance dungeons, they were either trainees or obvious outsiders. In the role-playing mode, they needed to play the role that fit the setting of the instance. No matter what kind of terrifying dungeon they were in, there was not a single NPC that openly told them, "We know where you came from."
If the NPC in the instance knew that they were NPCs and that they were in the instance, it would be the same as the characters in the book knowing that they were characters in the book. It would be absurd and full of mystery.
"Wait."
Anthony took a step forward and stood in front of everyone. "Do we have to go out with you just because you asked us to? What if there are other circumstances? "
Xu Su, who was about to follow him, immediately stopped and took a step back. He looked at the young uncle in front of him vigilantly.
Seeing that they were so cautious, the police officer sighed more and more.
"I know you came from the infinite loop and suddenly entered such an instance. You can't maintain your normal mentality, but …"
Everyone had a stubborn look on their faces, and they even took out their own special items.
First, it was different from the usual prequel plot. Then, it was the appearance of real relatives that the trainees knew. Thinking of how they met their relatives after a long separation in the prequel plot, this series of abnormalities covered the instance called Judgement Day with a layer of mystery.
They were all experienced trainees, not reckless newbies. Naturally, they wouldn't follow the police officer out.
Although they didn't have shadows, the police officer didn't have a shadow either. Who knew if he was a ghost or not?
Zong Jiu looked at Zhong Yiyuan, who was wearing glasses. The latter took off his glasses and looked at the police officer with a pair of dark eyes.
As everyone knew, black eyes usually only appeared on ghosts. If a living person had a pair of ghost eyes, it would be called Yin Yang Eyes.
Zhong Yiyuan had such a pair of eyes that could see ghosts.
However, after he looked around and didn't find anything unusual, he calmly put his glasses back on and shook his head at the white-haired magician, indicating that he didn't find anything unusual.
With Anthony's affirmation, everyone now knew that Zhong Yiyuan's Yin Yang Eyes were close to the top level.
Once Zhang Xuan opened his top-notch Yin-Yang Eye, no ghost would be able to hide from him. Even if he was unable to see through the real body of the ghost, he would still be able to sense the resentment of the ghost.
Xu Su, who was standing to the side, couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked in a low voice, "Brother, if you see a ghost, how does the ghost look in your eyes?"
Zhong Yiyuan lowered his voice and began to explain seriously, "Generally speaking, the spirit bodies you see are dark and floating in the air. You can't see their facial features clearly."
"I see." Xu Su was suddenly enlightened.
.....
"How about this?"
Seeing that the atmosphere was in a deadlock, the police officer rubbed his temples.
Seeing this scene, Xu Su felt bitter again.
In the real world, his uncle always liked to do this when he was investigating a case.
"Let's distribute the weapons to everyone first. I hope that everyone will trust us."
Weapons?
The trainees looked at each other.
Soon, someone knocked on the door again.
This time, it wasn't a police officer in uniform who came in. Instead, it was an ordinary townsfolk.
It wasn't accurate to say that they were townsfolk because they looked like people that the trainees in the team were familiar with. They even greeted the trainees who were equally shocked.
The townsfolk were carrying a large box that was locked from the outside.
The police officer walked over and opened the lock. The items inside were directly exposed to the sunlight.
It was a box full of guns.
They were genuine guns with smooth black lines. The triggers were fastened with a lock, and they were sealed in a plastic box that fit a gun.
The light attached to them clearly showed the fact that they were special items.
[F * ck, this is a B-grade item, right? They're giving it out just like that?]
[I'm going to faint. How can they have such good luck in an S-grade dungeon? They're giving out items so casually. B-grade items aren't something that can be casually picked up by the roadside. I wouldn't be so surprised if they gave out F-grade items and E-grade items.]
[Amazing. They just went to the Master Zhuge dungeon on the other side and went into a death maze … It's really scary. It hasn't been long since it started, and two of the veterans have already died. On the other hand, the weather is so good, and everyone is given special items. What kind of invincible dungeon is this?!]
Obviously, the trainees were also dumbfounded by this wave of maneuvers.
It wasn't until everyone had a gun in their hands and heard the main system's prompt that they finally reacted.
[Congratulations to the trainees for obtaining a B-grade item: Gun of Purification.]
[Item Usage: Can be used without reloading bullets. A necessary purifying item before Judgment Day. It can deal a 100% effective attack on evil.]
[Item Note: This item is exclusive to the S-grade dungeon Judgment Day. The item will lose its effect after leaving the dungeon.]
Gun of Purification?
Everyone looked at each other. They were all confused and couldn't make sense of it.
The police officer spoke at the right time, "Have you heard of Judgment Day?"
The trainees still looked suspicious, but they nodded in unison.
Judgment Day, from the Bible's Book of Revelation.
Legend had it that at the end of the world, Christ Jesus would carry out a final judgment on all the people of the world.
The living would be judged, and the dead would rise from the grave and be judged equally.
Christ sat on the high holy throne. The angels held scales and placed the good and evil of people on the scales to weigh, finally deciding whether to ascend to heaven or fall to hell.
After the judgment was over, fire and sulfur would fall from the sky and the ground would crack open into magma.
The saints would be safe and sound, and the sinners would be devoured by the flames of hell, paying for their sins according to their sins.
"Since you all know, then it's easy. You should have seen the people in town before, and know that Judgment Day is in seven days. "
The police officer sighed. "Now, pull up your sleeves and look at your wrists."
Everyone did as they were told. In the next moment, many people screamed.
Seven black lines appeared on their wrists.
"These seven black lines represent the seven sins of life in the world. They are arrogance, jealousy, wrath, sloth, greed, gluttony, and lust. "
"Only by eliminating these seven black lines within these seven days will we be able to safely pass Judgement Day."
The police officer said as he walked out and opened the door.
"But if one of the black lines does not disappear, they will be smashed by the heavenly fire on Judgment Day, swallowed by the magma that cracks the ground, and nailed into the dark abyss by Saint Michael with a red cross that is burning with flames, never to rise again."
'It's here.'
Everyone had a similar feeling of 'I knew it'.
From the moment they received the Main Storyline Quest, everyone knew in their hearts that this Judgement Day was definitely not going to be easy. If it could be passed easily, it would not be called a team dungeon.
Zong Jiu raised his hand. "Why is there nothing on my arm?"
He looked around and found that without exception, all the trainees in the team had seven black lines on their wrists.
Except for him.
Everyone looked over in surprise and found that the white-haired youth's arm was empty. There was nothing on it.
Seeing this, the police officer slapped his thigh. "Oh, so you are the child that Sister Maria said was born holy."
Born holy?
The puzzled trainees asked directly.
"Born holy is a person who does not carry the seven deadly sins. Such a person is born to go to heaven," the police officer explained patiently.
The police officer explained patiently, "The most honorable little pope in our town is also a person who was born holy. He can live through Judgement Day peacefully."
"He can also help others cleanse their sins. After all, how can a person not have sin in this world? We often go to the confession room in the cathedral to confess, and the black lines on our wrists will naturally disappear. "
A way to make the black lines disappear!
The trainees looked at each other and had a plan in mind.
The 'little pope' that the police officer mentioned was definitely a breakthrough.
Xu Su said hesitantly, "Then can we go see him?"
"Of course."
The police officer said in the same tone as he remembered, "Our town welcomes everyone, but there have been foreigners who have come to the town before. It is useless to confess to the pope. You have to find other ways to cleanse your sins."
"And to be precise, I am the only police officer in this town. As for why, you will know when you come out with me later. The guns that were given to you were also the pope's idea. How you will cleanse your sins in the next seven days, when you reach the cathedral, the pope will tell you one by one. There is no need to rush. "
Since he had already said so much, it would not be good if they did not go out.
"Wait a moment."
Zong Jiu raised his hand and motioned for the other party to wait a moment.
He turned his back on her and drew a card directly.
The question was, of course, to test whether the police officer was lying or not.
The result: justice was in place.
It was not important what it meant. What was important was that the police officer had just rambled on a lot, and there was not a single lie.
This was simply too inconceivable.
However, all of this was not as shocking as what happened after they walked out of the house.
After the baptism of the unknown golden light, the town looked brand new. In a flash, it had become brand new.
A new fountain was tirelessly sprinkling water in the middle of the square, shining a rainbow light. The bakery was open on the roadside. The bread that was baked with butter and salad dressing was fragrant.
The weather was just right. The sun was shining brightly.
All the residents of the town were gathered around the house.
After the trainees walked out, they could no longer control the expressions on their faces.
Because all the people gathered around were their relatives. A huge golden retriever ran over from afar and jumped into Anthony's arms.
"Su Bao 'er!"
"Aiyo, Little Yuan, why are you pulling a long face?"
"Come here quickly. Grandma missed you so much!"
Appearance, expression, voice, and even memories.
They were all exactly the same.
Even if they knew that it was fake, they could not show a cold expression.
"No, it's not fake."
The police officer at the front seemed to have sensed their thoughts. He turned around and said, "Have you heard of the Ship of Theseus? Although it is not appropriate, it can be used as a reference. "
The Ship of Theseus.
It was a very famous paradox.
For a ship, assuming that it was sailing in the sea, as long as it sailed for a long enough time, the rotten planks on the ship would be replaced.
There would always be a time when the ship was old, and the planks would also need to be replaced. If the ship continued to sail without caring about other conditions, there would be a day when all the planks on the ship would be replaced.
When all the planks were replaced, could the Ship of Theseus still be called the Ship of Theseus?
"What are the elements that make up a person? Thinking, memory, appearance, voice, logical thinking, thinking ability, or personality? "
"We have all these, including the social relationships we originally enjoyed and the feelings we have for you. Even if we go to the hospital in the town now for a DNA test, we can still detect the actual blood relationship between us. From an anthropological point of view, this is defined as kinship. "
"But, but this is different!" Xu Su cried out.
"How is it different? We have all the elements. If you compare us with the real world in your mind, there is really no need. "
"How can you be sure that the real world you experience is not another horror dungeon?"
The police officer's expression was very calm. "You should have received the main mission from the main system. This dungeon is different from any dungeon you have experienced. It is very beautiful here, more beautiful than you can imagine. "
"And after the Judgement Day, you will be able to stay in this dungeon forever and will not be erased. Of course, if you want to go back one day, you can also choose to return to the infinite loop. The decision is yours. We, and even the main system, will not interfere. "
"How is that possible?"
Anthony, who was squatting on the ground stroking the golden retriever, suddenly sneered. "Since you already know, I am too lazy to beat around the bush. Why don't I be frank with you?"
"Before joining the thriller trainee competition, the main system said that only one hundred trainees can survive. What you are saying now sounds good, staying in the dungeon? Who can guarantee that if we do not choose to return, we will not be erased by the main system the moment the dungeon closes? "
The police officer sighed. "You can ask the main system for the answer to this question."
Soon, the cold mechanical voice rang out in the air.
[A Grade S dungeon is equivalent to a small world.]
[As long as you can complete the main mission of the dungeon, trainees can choose to stay in the dungeon and will not be erased by the system.]
