Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 2096 The hint of the goddess prophecy

"It's not that I haven't thought about throwing her somewhere and walking away by myself."

With a crisp sound of opening the bottle, the bottle cap rolled silently onto the thick carpet.Qing Jiuliu raised the wine bottle, like an old cow drinking water, and after gulping down a few big gulps without tasting the taste, he let out a long sigh of satisfaction; his eyes gradually became brighter after drinking , as if reflecting the night pool of the broken diamond starry sky.

"...Especially when I realized that you didn't seem to appear in any of the twelve worlds in the second year."

He looked at the wine bottle in his hand and said in a low voice: "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 burdened by it... Trapped in anxiety and helplessness, I can only wait, and wait for the day when the situation forces me to take her with me no longer, so that I can be forgiven by my conscience while leaving her behind."

Lin Sanjiu couldn't say anything, because there was nothing that could put her anxiety and urgency back then, and her shame and gratitude now, into Qing Jiuliu's hands; All the struggles and sufferings are ironed out.

"I'm sorry," she could only say these few words in the end, "I..."

"I know, you probably can't take care of yourself."

Qing Jiuliu glanced at her and said, "Let me tell you, during that time, as long as someone was willing to listen, I would scold you, and if no one listened, I would scold you at the big witch. Don't look at me racking my brains to scold you." You have done so many times, but I know that as long as there is a glimmer of hope, you will rush over desperately... The reason why you didn't show up must be because you couldn't show up."

Lin Sanjiu felt his blood was burning hot, and at the same time wanted to laugh, thank him for his understanding, and also want to bury his head on his knee and cry softly.

Amidst her emotional turmoil, she had a very clear idea: if Qing Jiu had the opportunity to exchange cursing ideas with the puppeteer, she would not have a good life.

"Speaking of which, you have done something that even my former counselor failed to do."

Qing Jiuliu leaned on the chair and stretched a long way. "Because of bringing the big witch, I can't go on with the muddy but leisurely life I used to live. I can't throw her aside. I look around for drinks by myself. When I get drunk, I will drink Sleeping on the side of the road for a night? Don’t say no one cares about it. When I was guarding her, countless ghosts and monsters came. If I turn my head around, the big witch will give me a set of skins.”

"Then what happened afterwards?" Lin Sanjiu asked in a low voice, not knowing why, but couldn't help but want to laugh. "How did you fall into this dungeon?"

"What is 'fall'?" Qing Jiuliu waved his hands, as if he was very offended: "You make it sound like I'm stuck here, and I chose it myself."

Lin Sanjiu was startled. "Did you choose to be a dungeon employee?"

"More than that," Qing Jiuliu swallowed slowly and said, "I took the initiative to find this copy."

"What?" Lin Sanjiu almost stuttered, "Why, why?"

Qing Jiuliu seems to have held back his own strategy and cleverness for too long, and now he can finally show off his beautiful feathers to others, with a dazzling pride on his face: "After I entered the Karma Museum, , I realized that you might not come, but I brought the great witch, and it was impossible to wander like this forever, so I came up with a way."

Lin Sanjiu almost leaned over the table, but Qing Jiuliu looked down at his watch and said suddenly, "Ah, I almost forgot."

"what?"

"You have to start gambling when you enter the VIP room, or you will be expelled." Qing Jiuliu said, patted the gambling table, and in the next second, countless gambling tools fell from the air; some Lin Sanjiu knew some of them, some of them didn't, and many of them didn't seem to have anything to do with gambling. Among them, there was even a soup pot that spun around.

"The gambling content can be decided by the croupier. What are you good at? We can choose an easy one and talk while gambling."

Lin Sanjiu opened his mouth. He couldn't find much potential in himself as a gambling king, so he chose a game he had heard of: "Hmm... Black, Black Jack?"

"Hey, I can't tell, you know Black Jack?"

Qing Jiuliu stood up, raised his hand in the air, and a bunch of playing cards flowed up like a dragon, snapping together in his palm.It's just a simple card deal, but he does it smoothly; especially when Qing Jiuliu is clean and tidy, without any disguise, it's like a magnet with its own dragon palace effect - people can't help but look at him, and when you feel yourself After only one glance, several minutes had actually passed.

"I thought at the time that the best situation I could pursue was to keep me and the great witch from being teleported, and to stay in one place for you to have the greatest chance of finding us. Secondly, this place can't treat me and the The great witch caused danger... not only me at the time, I am afraid that in the eyes of anyone, this is impossible to achieve. In the entire doomsday world, there is no place that can accommodate such a wish... so I know, I must have Thinking beyond common sense. So, I thought of the copy."

When Qing Jiuliu finished speaking, he had two more cards in his hand; Lin Sanjiu also placed a red Q and a card with his back facing her.

"This is an almost impossible task," she said with a sigh. "When most people think of dungeons, they only think of weirdness and danger... But you just found life in the scariest place?"

"I did a lot of research in the Karma Museum at that time," Qing Jiuliu smiled lazily, and said, "Of course I don't want to become a copy creature, so how should I use the copy? The answer must fall somewhere A copy with different rules. So I have studied almost all the copies in the Karma Museum that are tempting to get involved, whether it is the information obtained from the "Dream of One Hundred Thousand Worlds Transfer" or the narrative passed down by word of mouth in the streets and alleys ...Finally, I realized that there is a large desolate copy on this island, which may be of use to me."

Lin Sanjiu listened intently, and urged him when he stopped: "And then?"

Qing Jiuliu looked at her, and the two stared at each other in silence for a second or two. Qing Jiuliu finally said: "What do you think I am doing? You play the cards."

"Oh, yes," Lin Sanjiu came to his senses, quickly opened the card, and saw a 10. "Then I should ask for a card, right?"

Qing Jiuliu narrowed his eyes, tapped his own card with 8 slowly, and asked, "Are you sure?"

Black Jack seems to collect points through cards. Although Lin Sanjiu can't remember exactly how many points she needs to collect, she remembers that it is bigger than the 20 points she has in hand anyway; she slapped the table proudly and said, "Yes!"

"You're crazy." When Qing Jiuliu threw her a 5, he couldn't help complaining, "So you don't know how to play blackjack?"

"How much chips should I pay you?" Lin Sanjiu didn't take it seriously, "I made a lot outside, enough for you to finish the story."

"You're lucky. Your croupier is unfair and using his power for personal gain. He is willing to charge 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 puppeteer at critical moments. He was very happy and praised "Your taste has improved", and then continued: "Drag A big witch who looks like a dead person walks through every road provided by the dungeon until the casino at the end... It is really not an easy task. I feel tired when I think about it now. But I know that when I completely defeat every A challenge along the way, when I reach the end, I at least have a basis for communication."

"Every road?" Lin Sanjiu's eyes widened, "Have you walked through every road outside?"

"At that time, dungeons hadn't developed so many paths," Qing Jiuliu waved his hand and said, "It seems that there are only twenty or thirty paths."

"Then...and then?"

For some reason, Qing Jiuliu looked at the big and small things on the gambling table, was silent for a few seconds, and then said quietly: "The conclusion is actually very simple, just one sentence... I am the first one in this copy. Human employees."

Lin Sanjiu took a breath.

"Why?" She thought for a while and asked, "Could it be that this copy started with you before deciding to recruit employees?"

"It may be unbelievable to say, but I negotiated with the dungeon for a long time at that time, and used all the means I thought I could persuade it... Although I still don't know the specific working principle of the dungeon, but there is one thing that I understood at that time Any dungeon must continue to attract people to enter in order to maintain it. This one dungeon, "

Qing Jiuliu said, raised his hand to compare the surroundings, and said: "Luck is not very good. The place of birth is in the middle of the sea, and there are no sides to rely on. It is not a particularly unlucky evolutionary. Generally speaking, it cannot be bumped in. At that time, it It is difficult to survive, and it is considered light."

"Then now..." Lin Sanjiu looked around.

"A very important reason why I was able to convince the dungeon at the time was that I told it that humans can bring more humans to the dungeon...and with the design of human employees involved, the dungeon road can be more diverse and more targeted , the copy can be more complete."

Qing Jiuliu sighed, and said: "But let me let more people die in the dungeon in the future because of my own selfishness, I can't have a clear conscience... So I reached a consensus with the dungeon, that is, the failure in the dungeon People can be accepted as employees by the copy, and they will be punished for failure in the form of working for several years."

When he said this, he looked at the slightly swaying liquid in the wine bottle, and said softly: "I have always felt like a giant sea beast for the past few years. I don't know which tiny movement will cause waves on the distant sea. Huge waves. I don't want to lose balance in the math problem of human life, so I am becoming more and more cautious... Except for using a little trick to finally attract you to the copy, I haven't made any real changes to the copy for a long time gone."

Lin Sanjiu originally wanted to ask "what method", but intuitively realized that he didn't finish his words, and the key point might still be behind.

"Recently, I have become more and more skeptical that dungeons learn from human employees and want to keep these people forever..." Qing Jiuliu looked at his hands and murmured, "I often think that I have How much is an evolutionary, how much is a copy creature?"

When Lin Sanjiu was terrified, another realization suddenly came into her mind—and at the same time, it made her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

"Sorceress..." she said to herself, "the 'powerful and beautiful creature' that the sorceress was referring to... so it was you."
