Chapter 9 Vulnerability
Chapter 9 Vulnerability
Xie Chongjin didn't cry after all.
It turns out that a person is suffering so much that he can't even cry.
His body trembled violently, except for hugging Lu Xuechao more tightly, he couldn't say anything for a moment.
The scene in the dream was vivid, every time he was ruthlessly manipulated and ordered to kill Lu Xuechao, he would frantically beg in his heart not to.But every time, Lu Xuechao would die in front of him, without exception.
This life is different, three years ago the manipulator wanted to kill Lu Xuechao, and the three-piece death set of poisoned wine, white silk dagger was prepared, but he changed his mind at the end.If so, this scene has also become Xie Chongjin's lingering psychological shadow. For three years, he often dreamed back to that moment, dreaming that the manipulator did not soften his heart, and Qingshu really died at his hands, and then suddenly woke up.
The memory after awakening told him that those dreams were real.It was not just a nightmare, it was everything that actually happened in past lifetimes.
He cherished and cherished it since he was a child, and vowed to treat his life's treasure well, but he was smashed in front of him by a manipulator who didn't know how to cherish, and destroyed, trampled, and destroyed over and over again.
Xie Chongjin woke up from a dream this morning, and when he realized that his body was back under his control, his first reaction was to go to the cold palace.He hesitated when going out, walked in the opposite direction, and walked around the entire palace, making sure that he could go wherever he wanted, before he dared to step into the cold palace.
He didn't dare to go straight to the cold palace, he was afraid that this was the will of the manipulator again, and he was afraid that the manipulator would attack Lu Xue again.
Afraid that his treasure will be smashed again, he can't protect it yet.
Xie Chongjintian was not afraid of anything, but this one thing made him so scared that he couldn't even think about it, and he trembled with fear when he thought about it.
Qingshu experienced things that he didn't even dare to think about, time and time again.
——I still remember everything.
How could Xie Chongjin speak?
Lu Xuechao tried to make him feel better: "You don't have to blame yourself too much. Didn't I say that I have studied medicine? I will awaken every life. I have learned a lot in these years, and I have also developed a universal painkiller that can paralyze the whole body. Sensation, every time the controller comes to the cold palace, he will swallow it, and die without any pain."
What he said was true, but not entirely true.Lu Xuechao was terribly afraid of pain, but there is a high probability of dying in every life, and the way of death is quite painful, no one can bear it.An ordinary person would have gone crazy long ago, but Lu Xuechao is different, Lu Xuechao is a genius.
There are always more solutions than difficulties. To deal with this matter, Lu Xuechao really developed a universal painkiller. After awakening in every life, he will have the consciousness that he will die sooner or later. He will make the medicine immediately and take it in advance when "Xie Chongjin" comes to the door. , to die calmly.
But before he developed the medicine, he had suffered many times.There are still many lives that have died before awakening. Without the accumulation of knowledge from previous lives, naturally there is no way to make elixirs.
Lu Xuechao didn't mention these things, but Xie Chongjin also wanted to know it, and it was even more uncomfortable after hearing it.
What kind of pain is this that forced Qingshu to even develop this medicine...
Every life will wake up, every life has those painful memories, and it is powerless to change the tragedy that repeats the same mistakes.Knowing everything soberly, but unable to save anyone, nor can he save himself.Such pain is not inferior to the despair of being manipulated.
Xie Chongjin felt distressed.
Distressed beyond measure.
He asked himself and Qingshu devoted himself to serving the country and benefiting the people. He had never done a single sinful thing in his life, even if there was karma, it would not fall on them. Why did he have such a fate?
He knows the answer.Heavenly Book gave the answer.
-Because it's just a game.
Xie Chongjin paused for a while, then Fang said in a hoarse voice: "I also had a dream, which was about the same as yours, and it was from many previous lives. This is the first time I know that I have a previous life. I don't know... It turns out that you will awaken in every life, and every life carries so many memories..."
and so much pain.
His heart stopped, and he felt dense pain, and he could hardly speak.
Lu Xue said calmly: "Speak slowly."
Xie Chongjin awakened for the first time, and there were countless memories in his mind instantly. It was normal to receive too much information and be emotionally unstable.He has awakened too many times, he has become used to it, and he behaves much calmer.
It's not that I'm not excited.It was unprecedented for Xie Chongjin to get out of control by himself.But after crying and crying, and doing and doing, Lu Xuechao was able to calm down and talk about things.
Xie Chongjin was soothed by Lu Xuechao's calm voice, took a deep breath to calm down, and got to the point: "I got a heavenly book."
"Book of Heaven?"
"This is it." Xie Chongjin handed the strange memorial to Lu Xuechao, "It records the things of our world, but the people who record them are not like people in our world. What is written in the book has solved many doubts for me. .I don’t know why it suddenly appeared, maybe it was an instruction from heaven, so it is called a heavenly book.”
"The heavenly scriptures are obscure. I've studied them for a long time, but I only understand about [-]% or [-]% of them. I still don't understand some words." Xie Chongjin said, "Perhaps you can understand Qingshu? You are smarter than me. When I was young, I couldn't understand it." If I ask you, you can always explain clearly.”
Lu Xuechao took it, opened it and took a closer look, her expression gradually condensed.
There is everything in the Bible.How do the controllers take pleasure in manipulating their lives, what kind of game plots will develop in their world, and detailed character introductions about various plot concubines...
When Lu Xuechao saw his character introduction, his face was expressionless.
"That's true." Lu Xue said calmly, "No matter how I searched and searched, I couldn't find any clues about the manipulator behind the scenes, so I had a vague guess. The manipulator is not a person in this world, but an outsider. We ants are watching from the sidelines, and any resistance made by ants is ignored by them. The world you are controlled is called the imperial line by these players. The world controlled by Lin Chanzhi is the so-called concubine line by the players. "
It's just that this conjecture is so shocking that it makes people doubt life.Even well-informed modern people may not dare to think deeply about this kind of question that can collapse people's worldview-does our world really exist?Could it be just a game in the eyes of high-dimensional creatures?Am I really doing what I want and not being manipulated by someone invisible and unaware?Is it because I have experienced this scene countless times in my previous life?My experience from childhood to adulthood, my relatives and friends, my lover, my children, isn’t it really the set data?
Before there is any evidence to prove these things, people will firmly believe that they must live in a real world, otherwise they will deny the meaning of their existence and their entire life from the root. Ridiculous thing.People know the world of Truman, but they don't really believe that they are the Truman.
But now, this evidence is in front of Xie Chongjin and Lu Xuechao.
Whether the so-called modern world is a game world is unknown. In short, their ancient world is indeed a game.
Rao had guessed about this for a long time, but at the moment when the guess was confirmed, Lu Xuechao still felt a little absurd.
If that's the case... he and Huai Yun have known each other since childhood, and everything they know and love each other, so what?
Is it the background introduction of the line in the heavenly scriptures that reads with the prince at the age of seven, childhood sweetheart with the emperor, childhood sweetheart, concubine at the age of 16, empress at the age of 17?
Because the game is set like this, they are like this.When Xie Chongjin ascended the throne and the game officially started, the past experiences became irrelevant, they were just instilled cognitions.
A shadow cast over Lu Xuechao's drooping eyelids.
"Don't think wildly." Xie Chongjin turned the page over, preventing Lu Xuechao from continuing to diverge, "Whether this is a game for outsiders or not, it is true for you and me."
"It is also written in the heavenly book that the more servants in the concubine's line can increase the emperor's love value, the higher the love value, the more indulgent they are, to the point of not distinguishing right from wrong, covering up their killing for fun. Indeed," Lin Chanzhi 'Using the method of saving files and reading files to force me to only turn over his cards, the pet value really went up, so I would be out of control and unable to attack him, but I hated him so much in my heart, how could there be love? "Xie Chongjin said, "Except for you, the emperor line focuses on attacking every concubine in the plot, brushes the so-called favorability points, and can play an exclusive ending. But those worlds, I have never touched them in my life. Sleep, at most, give birth to some friendships, and stop at the friendship of gentlemen, and have nothing to do with love."
"Love can't be measured by numbers. I can tell who I love, and a heart can only pretend to be one person." Xie Chongjin dissatisfied, "If you dare to be paranoid, you are worthy of me fighting against the game settings for so many lives, Guard yourself like a jade for you?"
Lu Xue dissipated the shadows in her eyes: "I'm the one who disturbs others."
He always thinks too much, but Xie Chongjin is not as thorough as Xie Chongjin.
"What are you going to do?" Lu Xuechao asked Xie Chongjin about his future plans.
"I will welcome you back to the Central Palace, and then disband the Sixth Palace, and return to the imperial court tomorrow, clean up this mess, and let Changli return to its former glory." Xie Chongjin's perennially gloomy eyebrows and eyes finally revealed a hint of the will to do something big. .
Lu Xuechao was not optimistic: "If you are free in this life, what about the next life?"
Xie Chongjin paused, and his brows gradually furrowed again.
They are not so tragic every life.
In the concubine line world, as long as Lu Xuechao wakes up early, he can send Lin Chanzhi out of the palace before Xie Chongjin "can't bear" to do it before Lin Chanzhi enters the palace, so that the concubine line players can directly end the game earlier At that time, the real Lin Chanzhi can also regain her freedom, no longer be manipulated by others, find a lover outside the palace, and live an ordinary and happy life.
Or the awakening is late, the player has already been tainted with evil, and Lin Chanzhi is captured, murdered and framed, punished and given to death, the game of the concubine line player can also end early.It's just that it is inevitable to sacrifice the real Lin Chanzhi.
There is no other way.Once you become the master of the player, you can only get rid of control by reaching the end of the game.Being sent out of the palace early is the best ending for Lin Chanzhi, and then he will either die in a palace fight, or the players will kill all directions and play the HE ending of [Fengyi Tianxia].
What the players don't know is that after they played the HE ending and closed the game contentedly, Lin Chanzhi in a phoenix robe returned to freedom, and the first thing she did was commit suicide.
That was a kind-hearted young man who was a bit cowardly. He really couldn't bear the blood on his hands, so he could only apologize with death.
When the player's affairs were revealed and he was bestowed to death by Lu Xuechao, Lin Chanzhi even said "thank you" before he died.
Lu Xuechao was silent for a long time, and ordered someone to bury him alive.
As for the ending of the emperor line, the players are required to play until the emperor dies, and they will not be able to escape for the rest of their lives.So the way for Lu Xuechao to end the game early is to kill Xie Chongjin himself.
In the world where the concubine's line ends early, they can follow their hearts and live happily and freely for the rest of that life.Xie Chongjin will disband the six palaces, will favor the queen alone, will be the most holy and bright, and will grow old together.
But in the next life, when the game restarts, they still can't help themselves.
What Lu Xuechao is looking for now is not the freedom of a lifetime.
He wants to end this cycle forever.
This life is different from all previous lives. This is the first time Xie Chongjin has gained freedom in the Emperor Line, and has not been manipulated to death.
This must be a breakthrough.
"Vocabularies you don't understand, but this?" Lu Xuechao asked, pointing to a line of characters.
[When will Lu Xuechao fix this bug? 20 force value can assassinate an emperor with 100 force value, I really can't complain. 】
[I'm tired, this game is not going to be updated, the more it is updated, the more bugs it will have. 】
[Lu Xuechao is really a supermodel. Although the setting is more than 100 scheming and close to the monster, this kind of operation that can see through the player's identity and accurately target the master control every time is too creepy.So buggy, really, so buggy. 】
[Is the emperor's flop rate the biggest bug?Why is it that Lu Xuechao is sleeping alone, we players are completely ignored, right? 】
[I suspect that the fertility drug is also a bug, not that it has not been made.If you don't do this part of the function, don't let the birth medicine appear.Why can't a child be born despite the existence of fertility drugs?It won't be the emperor and concubine just chatting under the quilt every day, hahahahaha. 】
The word "bug" appears frequently, but Xie Chongjin can't understand the meaning anyway, and he can't even make it out of the literal meaning.
"Yes, Qingshu, do you know?" Xie Chongjin praised, "I know that Qingshu is the smartest..."
Lu Xuechao: "I don't understand either."
Xie Chongjin: "..."
"However, it's not difficult to guess from the context." Lu Xue said, "It probably means loopholes, defects or something like that."
Xie Chongjin was surprised: "How did this get connected?"
"My force value is 20, and yours is 100. Isn't it a big loophole that I can successfully kill you?" Lu Xue looked at him.
Xie Chongjin pondered: "I didn't expect that."
Mainly from his point of view, he was willing to be killed without any resistance, so naturally he didn't think it was a loophole.
But in the eyes of the players, it is just a loophole that is not logical.Although there is no lack of the theory of true love between emperors and empresses, most players play games for fun, but if they don't enjoy it, it must be a bug.
And fertility drugs.The Changli Kingdom stipulated that before the empress gave birth to a son-in-law, the entire harem and concubines were not allowed to take fertility medicine, unless the empress had nothing to do all year round.Although Lu Xuechao was abolished, no one in the entire harem had taken birth control pills, and had never been touched by the emperor, so naturally it was impossible to conceive and have children.
"I read the comments of these players. At the beginning, the game had a good reputation and popularity, but gradually there were more and more scolding. These are all comments expressing dissatisfaction." Lu Xuechao said slowly, "Because of my existence , and your strong resistance has become a so-called loophole, which makes the player's game experience not so good."
"Our resistance in those lives was not meaningless. At least it caused a certain degree of decline in the word of mouth of this game, and many people expressed their abandonment of the game, which is probably the loss of popularity."
"In this life, we have obtained the greatest degree of freedom." Lu Xuechao closed the book, his brows were slightly cold.
"Why not just subvert the entire world, destroy all the game plots, create countless loopholes... let this game completely collapse?"
