Chapter 564: Humanity and bestiality
“Connecting to the Nightmare Passage…”
“Connecting to the entering world…”
“Opening the dimension valve…”
“Welcome!”
“The great ruler!”
The bizarre world was revealed before their eyes.
The starry sky became the background and rapidly disappeared into the distance.
The radiance of the stars gradually dimmed.
Finally, Ling Ping’an found himself standing in a crowded square.
He was surrounded by people.
Countless stone pillars stood in the square. From time to time, people would approach the stone pillars, and a light membrane would envelop them.
They were trading, strengthening, or accepting missions.
More people were walking around.
Above their heads, there was a floating font.
The content on it was basically information such as requests for purchase or sale.
“This is the real Legend of Nightmare!” Ling Ping’an laughed.
In the past, he had entered the Nightmare World directly.
But he had never been here before.
He raised his hand, and a character box appeared in front of him.
It was a very normal human attribute.
It was stable!
And there was nothing special.
However, under the character box, there was a progress bar.
It was like an ink-stained progress bar.
That was his current level of awakening.
His progress had already reached 35%!
He sighed slightly, “No wonder…”
35%.
This meant that he was now 0.35 monster.
And this was the result of being sealed twice!
Otherwise, his current humanity would have been devoured almost completely.
He could feel how terrifying he was in the past.
He was a monster.
A crazy, terrifying, strange, and powerful monster.
From the beginning to the end, it was wriggling and rolling.
Just like the beginning of the universe.
Violent, gorgeous, and terrifying.
Not to mention getting close, just by looking at it from a distance of light-years.
The eyes of most creatures would instantly go blind.
Even genes could be killed in an instant!
Therefore, not to mention 35%.
Even if it was 0.035%, it was not something ordinary creatures could face.
This also meant that he could transform into a monster at any time.
The only good news was that he still had humanity and reason.
Therefore, he could control this terrifying strength and suppress that violent and terrifying form.
“I’d better find a place and practice how to control my strength!” he said as he walked to a stone pillar.
Now he understood that the purpose of Realm of Nightmare was to serve him.
Some of his loyal servants had specially chosen and built a service organization for him.
So that he could practice self-control and maintain his humanity!
Walking under the pillar of light, a layer of light enveloped him.
A choice appeared in front of his eyes.
…
At the Monsoon Villa, all the guests had already left.
The Blackguard had completely taken over this place.
The ninth floor of Yan Lou had been placed under the highest level of control.
Li Shouyi gently pushed open the door in front of him.
He carefully walked in. He wore a thick and heavy lead coat, and the inside was covered with talismans.
This was the place where the person had once lived. No matter how careful he was, it wasn’t too much.
After all, the clothes that the person had worn could be top-notch vestment. Among the discarded leftovers, there was an unimaginable psionic substance. A recorded voice made the entire scientific community go crazy over it.
Then…
What about the place where he had lived for more than ten days?
When he walked into the door, everything in the room looked normal.
The chairs and tables were neatly arranged.
The carpet on the floor was clean.
But…
Li Shouyi still felt uneasy, as if something terrifying was staring at him or guarding the place.
Li Shouyi took a deep breath. He understood that this was a very normal thing.
The ancient emperors would not let others use the things that they had used.
Let alone that powerful ancient god?
Some wanted to flatter him.
Thinking of this, Li Shouyi said in a low voice, “We wouldn’t dare to offend your holy place…”
“We will definitely seal this place in the future and take good care of every blade of grass and tree!”
“If you allow me… I want to visit your holy residence!”
“If you don’t abandon it, the remains would be left behind…”
“We will be grateful!”
“If you don’t agree… I wouldn’t dare to come in and disturb you!”
With his words, the faint uneasiness quickly faded away.
The room returned to its tranquility.
However, Li Shouyi didn’t dare to relax.
The dog guarding the house had left.
However, the master’s lingering influence was still there!
If he was not careful, he might break some taboos.
Fortunately, Li Shouyi had a wealth of experience.
He carefully walked to the windowsill.
On the bedside table beside the window, there was an ancient book that had been meticulously framed.
Li Shouyi gently picked it up.
This was arranged by him, a gift for that person.
It was also a gift from the royal family.
The “Quick rain and clear invitation”!
It was the only authentic copy of the sage of calligraphy!
“He didn’t take it with him?” Li Shouyi blinked. “Was it because he didn’t like it?”
Giving the “Quick rain and clear invitation” as a gift to the other party was a countermeasure after various discussions.
Because…
Whether it was the Blackguard or the royal family, they didn’t know how to please him?
Neither did they understand his preferences.
After all, such an existence did not lack anything.
Therefore, they could only use some small tricks to give him this only surviving ancient book as a gift.
Who knew that he still did not like it!
“That’s not right!” Li Shouyi weighed the ancient book in his hand. There was a strange look in his eyes.
Therefore, he gently opened the book.
Lines of golden words flowed with a bright luster.
There were four lines of twenty-eight words.
It was still the work of the sage of calligraphy.
However, every word contained strength.
“Transcendence!” Li Shouyi was extremely shocked.
This ancient book of the sage of calligraphy had already reached transcendence!
“What does this mean?” Li Shouyi didn’t quite understand.
But he knew that the other party clearly understood what he meant.
Therefore, he specially made this authentic work extraordinary.
He gently put down this already extraordinary national treasure.
He turned around and looked at the desk by the window.
On the desk, there was a piece of rice paper.
On the rice paper, there were many word prints left on it.
From the prints, it seemed to have the style of Wang Xizhi.
Thinking about it, it should be a work left behind by that master of calligraphy when he was in the mood to appreciate the authentic work.
Li Shouyi took a deep breath and walked to the desk. He carefully looked at the rice paper on the desk.
The words on the paper entered his eyes.
“Losing humanity, losing a lot, losing bestiality, losing everything!”
The wild grass calligraphy danced.
These words twisted one by one and slowly turned into countless tiny worms wriggling and screaming on the paper!
Fortunately, Li Shouyi was prepared. He bit the tip of his tongue and instantly woke up. He quickly left the desk and floated out of the living room.
“As expected!” after he landed, he panted deeply. “As expected, he left the answer here!”
The reason he took the risk to come here today.
Was because of this!
The clue or guidance left by the ancient god.
The clue to where the Blackguard would go!
“Losing humanity, losing a lot…”
“Losing bestiality, losing everything!” Li Shouyi chewed on the words on the paper.
“Was this what you meant?” he muttered to himself.
The meeting of the Blackguard had been held since yesterday.
It had reached a stalemate!
Emotions, morals, and traditions did not allow the Blackguard to be someone else’s tool for personal gain, much less point the sharp blade in his hand at an innocent person.
Even if… Those people were from another world.
However, on the other hand…
Reason told people that their persistence would only bring disaster!
Just like the world hundreds of years ago.
Zheng He’s fleet sailed far away.
They brought peace, civilization, and friendship.
After Zheng He, the explorers of the Land of Qin also started to sail far away.
However, what they brought was killing and conquering, death and exploitation, and what they brought back were wealth and profit.
As a result, the Land of Qin rose rapidly.
Stepping on the flesh and blood of the people in the world, they completed their accumulation and made the sun never set.
If it wasn’t for the great ancestor of Great Xia appearing out of nowhere and turning the tide, Great Xia would have fallen.
In today’s world, no one knew how many countries would be enslaved, let alone how many innocent people would die tragically.
Perhaps even the metropolitan territory would not be able to escape the claws of the devil!
The words left behind by the great ancestor when he was alive seemed to point to this fact!
The Realm of Nightmare now was another great voyage.
People once again stood at the crossroad and faced a choice.
The left hand was benevolent, righteous, and moral, while the right hand was selfish.
If the wrong choice was made, one could be doomed forever!
“Losing humanity, losing a lot…” Li Shouyi muttered.
That was indeed the case.
Those who gave up humanity were not fit to be human.
Those who lost their conscience and morality would definitely become the executioners who suppressed and massacred the innocent!
“Losing bestiality, losing everything!” he lowered his head.
This was the current predicament.
If the Blackguard did not follow, others would follow.
Then, the Blackguard would be eliminated very quickly.
At the end of the previous dynasty, the fact that the world had collapsed had already proved that physical persuasion was the number one truth in the world.
In a chaotic world, a thin layer of benevolence, justice, and morality was useless.
Only the benevolence, justice, and morality with strength could deter the little ones and maintain peace.
So…
“Where do we go from here?” he thought.
He seemed to have understood something, but for a moment, he couldn’t put his finger on it.
…
The screen of light descended.
One option after another floated before Ling Ping’an’s eyes.
A crisp voice sounded in his ears.
It seemed to be a little girl.
“Great ruler… I am your most loyal servant…”
Ling Ping’an raised his eyebrows, “Little Ao, what are you doing this time?”
The other party was slightly stunned, but he immediately replied, “Great ruler… I am now Narako… your most admired servant!”
Ling Ping’an shook his head, “Alright… Alright… Narako… What do you suggest?”
He knew that the servants around him were all monsters!
Moreover, they were all unreasonable monsters.
To them, there was no gender that only mortals had.
Basically, each of these guys could perfectly satisfy all the conditions of the so-called identity and gender recognition that had become popular in the Land of Qin in recent years.
They could be female, but they could also be genderless.
They could even be female on the surface, but in fact, they were male!
They could even make it seem like they were female, but in the end, they were male, but upon closer inspection, they were still female!
In short…
To these monsters, pursuing gender was asking for trouble.
There were thousands of their own incarnations.
Perhaps even they themselves did not know their gender.
Then, the little girl said very seriously, “Great ruler… your most loyal servant, Narako, offers you the most humble and foolish advice…”
“You should now participate in the game with the identity and strength of an ordinary person…”
“Of course, this is only the foolish advice of the humble and insignificant Narako…”
“After all, to you… Everything is just a game…”
“Don’t be too serious!”
Ling Ping’an listened and felt that it made sense!
This was his intuitive feeling as a monster.
It was just a game!
Wasn’t it?
But…
As a human, he remembered the sentence he wrote in the Imperial Capital.
Losing humanity, losing a lot!
Losing his bestiality, losing everything!
It suited his current situation!
If he chose to view everything like a game, his humanity would slowly lose and fade away.
Eventually, he would become a real monster.
A monster that no words could describe.
A monster that surpassed cognition and imagination!
But…
He was a monster!
Everything he had now was built on this.
He was born a monster.
He was also a monster that had lived until now.
Therefore, denying his identity was no different from lying to himself and betraying himself.
Thinking of this…
Ling Ping’an snapped his fingers, “Choose a suitable place for me!”
“As an ordinary person, I will participate in this survival competition!”
Naturally, this was just an expression.
Because nothing could hurt him.
And no strength could threaten him.
“Your will!” the little girl who called herself Narako said with incomparable joy.
…
The waves of the sea echoed in his ears.
The ship creaked as it swayed.
He could smell a thick stench of urine.
There seemed to be a rough voice shouting in his ear, “Get up! You dirty slaves!”
Huang Qin opened his eyes in a daze.
A burly man with a bare upper body, strong muscles, and golden hair came into view.
The other party had the standard appearance of a person from the Land of Qin.
The moment he saw the other party.
Time froze.
Huang Qin saw the flies in the cabin buzzing to his side.
They landed on the deck and formed words.
“Nightmare codename: Jiang Cheng Ah Huang. Welcome to the Nightmare World. This is the second Nightmare World you have experienced. Your current authority is Nightmare Standard Soldier! You can pay for information about the world in this world at any time — this is your rookie nightmare privilege, only effective in the first three worlds!”
“In this world, your physical death will not cause you to die in reality, but it will cause you to lose all point certificate and equipment, and randomly erase an existing skill — this is your nightmare rookie special offer, only effective in the first three worlds and this offer is the great ruler, the supreme being’s special favor, praise the ruler! Human!”
“Warning: You can interact with other aborigines in this world, but you are not allowed to reveal anything related to the Realm of Nightmare or the real world in this world!”
“Warning: You must activate your main mission within 24 hours, or your Nightmare World mission will be deemed as a failure!”
“Warning: The flow of time in this world is the same as in reality. Therefore, every day you stay in this world, a day will pass in reality. The nutrients in your game cabin can only sustain your physical body for seven days in reality. Please leave this world before the nutrients are depleted. Otherwise, your physical body in real life may suffer irreversible injuries due to hunger and malnutrition!”
Looking at these words, Huang Qin shivered slightly.
“Is the flow of time comparable to reality?”
So he asked, “Then what will happen to my family in reality if they look for me?”
A loud voice appeared in his ear, “Nightmare codename: Jiang Cheng Xiao Huang. This is the first question you ask in this world. Because it involves the nightmare rules, it will be answered for free! But any questions you ask next will require a consultation fee!”
Then, the voice gave an answer, “The space has already blocked the traces of your existence in reality. Your influence in real life will be ignored… Your family and friends will be hinted that you are engaged in an important secret job. They will automatically avoid the thoughts of looking for you!”
As Huang Qin listened, he was shocked beyond words.
This kind of power that could directly interfere with real family and friends shocked him!
This meant that if he died here, his family and friends would only know that he had died of an accident or illness!
This was too terrible!
