Soul echo

Chapter 62 Deception
For players, 'Zhong Ye' is like an easter egg, and it is a lucky thing to meet him.

With the development of the times and artificial intelligence technology, the methods used to commemorate the players and creators who died unfortunately in the game are also being updated. There are also many thoughtful NPCs like 'Zhong Ye' who have their own set of independent operating rules. It's just that the artificial intelligence applications of those previous games have not reached the height of "Echo of Soul".

Facing Zhong Ye, if she hadn't known in advance that he was an 'aboriginal', Lilian might really think that he was a real living person.

"Echo of Soul" does look like a real different world, and some people in the forum have long speculated whether the earth has really found a different world, and then let players like them invade the other world.

After all, what they need to upgrade is 'soul debris', not 'experience'.

But this kind of talk has no foundation. If the earth can really do this kind of thing, then why not change 'soul debris' to 'experience'?
In fact, in the game, many players can also feel a slight sense of fragmentation, and then realize that this is a game, not a real different world—even though the realism of "Echo of Soul" has surpassed any other world on the market. For a game, there may not be a more realistic game than this in the next ten to 20 years.

Lilian followed behind Zhong Ye, watching the man's broad shoulders together with the audience behind the camera.

Neither she nor they knew what Zhong Ye wanted to do, and they had been dragged around by him for half an afternoon.

It can be seen that Zhong Ye seems to be on guard against something, and with the words he said before, the audience in the live broadcast room speculated that something might happen in Belgrade.

Lilian looked at the bullet screen in front of her with some hesitation. Many people were urging her to ask Zhong Ye.

Although she was really curious about what Zhong Ye wanted to do, if she asked directly... is it really okay?
After struggling for a moment, Lilian made up her mind, stepped forward and grabbed Zhong Ye's sleeve, raised her hair and asked, "Teacher...are you looking for something?"

"Ok?"

Zhong Ye suddenly stopped, startling Lilian, but then he saw a puzzled expression on his face.

"Didn't I tell you?"

"No, no..." The girl raised the corner of her mouth slightly, but quickly pressed it down again.

Zhong Ye looked around, without saying a word, and pulled Lilian into a dark alley.

"You are now my student, so you will definitely contact them in the future."

The sun passed by their feet, and the shadows covered Zhong Ye's face. Lilian raised her head and saw a serious expression on her face.

"'Abyss', that's their name—the abyss comes from outside the world, it's not a good thing, don't listen to me talking about lightness, it was tested with countless human lives, since the abyss came to this world, there has been no Do anything good in this world.

"This time, I received some information that believers of the God of Plague may have come to this city. I don't know what they are here for, how many of them there are, and what they look like. The only thing I know is It was they who came to Belgrade.

"The God of Plague used to be a god in Westland. Although he was an evil god, he could still be considered a god. He tried to use the abyss, but was swallowed by the abyss. Believers are trying to call him back...

"He's back—with the abyss!"

Zhong Ye controlled his gaze and did not look at other parts of Lilian's body.

Through Lilian's strange movements and talking to herself from time to time, Zhong Ye determined that she started the live broadcast.

What he said before was not only to Lilian, but also to the audience behind the camera.

Maybe some people will become interested in the Abyss after hearing those remarks, but Zhong Ye doesn't think that the system made by the gods will open the 'Abyss' camp. As long as they can't get feedback from the panel, players will soon lose interest in the Abyss.

——Of course, all of this is based on the premise that the abyss cannot find the player itself.

He now needs the power of the players, but he can't just say, "Players, lend me your power", and he doesn't know if he is an aborigine, and whether he can issue tasks to the players.

So he intends to only serve as an information provider, let the players explore out of curiosity, and then prostitute the fruits of their labor for nothing.

Zhong Ye folded his arms and leaned against the wall, and continued: "The person who provided me with this information came from the church, but now, the people from the church can't help, because they suspect that there are traitors among them, so, don't wait until the critical moment , I can't ask for their help.

"Adventurers are untrustworthy, nobles are untrustworthy, and the church is untrustworthy. The only thing I can rely on is myself, and now I can add you."

Zhong Ye patted the girl's shoulder and said with a gentle smile: "Although you have only become my student today, I am willing to believe in you and hope you can help me. I am a traveler who has just arrived in Belgrade, and I am Adventurers, if I ask other people questions, they may not answer truthfully, but you are local, people in Belgrade should be more willing to answer your questions.

"I have to admit that accepting you as a student does have considerations in this regard and the suspicion of using you, but I will also try my best to teach you."

"I'm asking again now—"

Lilian looked at those bright eyes, and then a magical voice penetrated into her ears, "As your teacher, I ask you to help me, would you like it?"

"...Mmm." The girl lowered her head and nodded slightly.

Zhong Ye laughed and touched Lilian's little head, "Let's split up next, I will continue to patrol the streets, you can ask other people for me, and ask them if they have seen anything sneaky By the way, help me find out where the thieves in Belgrade usually gather, but be careful, just ask. If you see those people, don't act alone, go to the Adventurer's House and wait for me. Now you are not capable enough to deal with them.

"Even if you don't find out anything, you have to wait for me at the Adventurer's House tonight. I will help you rent a room in the Adventurer's House. After all, if you go to inquire about these things, if they fall into the eyes of someone who is interested, they may Bad for you."

Hearing these words, Lilian's eyes sparkled, her lips were tightly pressed, and she nodded repeatedly.

"I'll take you to the street." Zhong Ye led Lilian out of the dark alley to the busy street.

"We're going to split up here, remember, we must ensure our own safety first."

After giving the girl some instructions, Zhong Ye turned and left, leaving Lilian standing there alone, thinking wildly.

After walking through the street corner and making sure that Lilian couldn't see, Zhong Ye exhaled a long breath.

The feeling of cheating on others...is really bad!

It's just that if he doesn't do that, he won't be able to get help from other forces, and he and Lilian alone won't be able to search the entire city.

Players near or even further away from Belgrade should all gather to this city if they know the news. With the nature of players, even if they are not strong now, they can still muddy the water.

Only in this way can it be easier to find the plague believers hidden in the depths.

But there is one thing to note, if there are traitors among the gods, or vacillating scumbags, can they also monitor the operation of the system and know that the player is heading towards Belgrade?
If so, will the plague believers in Belgrade still act?
Whether it is the enemy or the enemy, everything is unknown, and it is a big problem to find plague believers in this situation.

What's more, this task is still 'time-limited'.
