Strange Voyage: Summoning the Fourth Disaster.

Chapter 261 I am the Plague

When the players saw the reaction of the Black Mountain Demon, they immediately understood what was going on.

After being stunned for a moment, they began to laugh mercilessly.

"Pfft, I was wondering why Big Boss Xiaoyao came so quickly."

"I guess I got humiliated again."

"I am dying of laughter. It seems that krypton gold doesn't work."

"Our main idea at Lingzhu is that everyone is equal. You will go to jail whether you spend money or not, haha."

"..."

A group of players were having a blast, leaving Black Mountain Little Demon alone, crying silently.

……

In front of the Broken Fortress on Zero Island.

After taking a look at his own hideous body, Zhang Ming fixed his gaze on Sekasi in front of him, and then asked a question in a daze.

"You... can actually speak?"

Hear the words.

Sekasi was silent for a moment while writing, and took a slight breath.

Then she quickly erased the words and wrote two concise characters.

"idiot!"

Both Yin Laer’s words and his own behavior in the battle just now revealed a lot of information. However, the first question Zhang Ming is concerned about now is actually this?

If she could talk, why would she bother writing in the book?

There must be something wrong with this guy!
"Idiot... ah? What's wrong with me? Why are you scolding me?"

Zhang Ming was a little dumbfounded when he saw this. Why was he scolded for just asking a question?

"Stop talking nonsense. You won't last long in your current state. If you have anything to ask, go find that kid. Hurry up."

Sekasi shook his head, somewhat helplessly.

Seeing this, Zhang Ming suddenly thought of Yan Tong. By the way, since Sekasi said so, then he should be fine, right?
...No, what about the face that he and the Black Mountain Demon just saw in the cellar?

Zhang Ming suddenly felt that his brain capacity was not enough.

But at this moment, a thin figure walked out of the fortress in a daze.

Behind him were several special objects placed in an orderly manner, which were the tools used for "treatment" in the healing cave before.

He slowly raised his head, looked at Sekasi, and murmured with numb eyes.

"Are you going to kill me..."

"Yes, all this is caused by me..."

"I killed my friends...my parents...my fellow tribesmen...even the chief...and..."

As he spoke, Yan Tong looked up at Zhang Ming, his face already in tears, but what flowed from the corners of his eyes was a morbid black and yellow pus, as if regret had condensed into shape.

"Sorry……"

"Blame me……"

Yan Tong knelt down on the ground weakly, blood oozing from the corners of his mouth, and various horrifying symptoms of illness began to gradually appear on his body.

"I... am the plague."

Along with the whisper of Yan Tong, his body began to release strangely colored gas.

The moment he came into contact with the gas, new clues appeared in front of Zhang Ming's eyes.

[You were eroded by the "disease" while in a diseased state. Your strength was enhanced and the speed of your body's collapse was slowed down...]

"This……"

Seeing this, Zhang Ming was shocked and already had the answer in his mind.

The booklet handed over by Sekasi further confirmed his thoughts.

"He and his friends brought the ominous ashes from the dark void. Since he left that place, he himself has become the embodiment of the plague."

"The man in the healing cave brought the breath of "disease", which temporarily suppressed the disease and allowed Chieftain Silverlar to survive in a new form. He also used Zero Island as food for "disease feast" so that Ashes could surrender."

Sekasi's face was calm, and he told Zhang Ming everything without hiding anything.

In an instant, Zhang Ming's heart felt as if hit by a heavy hammer.

I see……

No wonder a child like Yantong was not affected by the disease.

No wonder the spread of the disease started from around him.

No wonder I was also ravaged by the disease.

It turns out that the air filled with gray dust did not bring "disease" but the "pathological changes" hidden after being infected with the disease...

"Just kill me……"

"please……"

Yan Tong's voice had become hoarse, and his body was hesitating. Without the suppression of the "pathogenic" power, the plague was completely turning him into the embodiment of terror.

"Yantong, you..."

Zhang Ming felt a little upset when he saw this.

There is no doubt that before this, due to the suppression of "pathological" breathing, Yantong had been able to "survive" normally.

He didn't know that he had brought the plague, and that he had killed all his relatives and friends on Zero Island.

Even when he met Zhang Ming, he was still looking forward to leaving here, leaving this horrible place.

It was not until Yin Laer told him the truth and the diseased breathing was completely ended with Yin Laer's death that he suddenly realized that... he was the root cause.

Even the chieftain Yinlar, whom he hated the most, was just trying to survive...

Moreover, without the constraints of the disease's breathing, the rock copper will soon completely transform into an epidemic.

In other words, he is beyond help...

In response to this, Sekasi remained calm. She did not kill Yantong immediately, but wrote down the words again.

"I saved you once, and I just killed you. Now we're even."

"I am here to convey two words to you on behalf of the "Holy Altar Pickers". Please be sure to bring the candle you serve..."

When Zhang Ming saw this.

Sekasi suddenly raised her hand, and the letter cloth wrapped in her hand moved along with her buzzing lips, emitting wisps of sparks that condensed into words.

"The time to reignite has come."

"Whether it's a spark in the ashes or a sacred flame, never forget that the essence of fire...is to burn."

Then, Sekasi hummed his lips again, chanting a silent prayer.

The next moment, a ball of light was wrapped by her strange power, condensed in her hand, handed to Zhang Ming, and nodded slightly at him.

[Obtained: Broken Core (Quest Item)]

[The status of the "Zero Blight" side quest has been updated...]

Zhang Ming did not pay attention to the task prompt.

After taking a complicated look at Yantong, who no longer looked like a human, he sighed slightly and whispered, "Sleep well, kid."

Rumble…

As if it had lost its support, the entire space began to shake, and the forces of darkness and disorder pressed towards this place.

time is limited.

Sekasi had already raised his hand at this time, and lightning fell to the ground with a bang. The terrifying power instantly annihilated the rock copper.

Zhang Ming could also feel that his diseased body was rapidly collapsing.

The epidemic ends at this moment.

She turned around, took out a red spark, and was about to leave.

Looking at the slender and agile figure, Zhang Ming was silent for a moment, and suddenly he shouted as if possessed by a ghost.

"Sekasi, can we meet again?"

Sekasi paused for a moment, but in the end he left with an indifferent back...

……

[Lost: Broken Core (Quest Item)]

[Obtained: War Contribution × 3000] "Thank you for your contribution, Candlelight Warrior."

The candle keeper nodded slightly, then asked him a question.

"So...what did the firewood-gatherer warrior ask you to tell me?"

"It's... Seka... uh, ah?" Zhang Ming, who was distracted, was stunned by the question: "...what did you say?"

Roger's eyes suddenly went dark.

After all, it's an important plot, can't you be serious?
Someone asked you to pass on an important message, and this is how you did it?

Is that firewood-collector chick named Sekasi so pretty?

...Okay, I admit that this blind girl has a really good figure.

But it won’t take away my soul, right?

What a loser!
Roger felt his blood pressure rising.

I'm already annoyed by working overtime on that crappy text recently!

These players of Jiba are really worrying!

If he hadn't continued to follow up, he might not know what happened now.

I really am...

"…The words that the firewood collector asked you to pass on."

Roger repeated it expressionlessly.

"Oh, this..." Zhang Ming came back to his senses after hearing this. He scratched his head embarrassedly and tried hard to recall for a while before he repeated it haltingly.

"I see."

Roger nodded and quickly turned around to leave.

But Zhang Ming called him back at this time: "Wait, Candle Keeper!"

"...Um, can I...see Sakashi again?"

Rogge's breathing stopped for a moment, and he resisted the urge to beat the guy to death.

"...That depends on how fate arranges it."

After saying this, Rogge disappeared quickly, never wanting to look at Zhang Ming again.

"destiny……"

Zhang Ming muttered to himself, and a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

……

Lingzhu Forum.

A freshly published post suddenly attracted the attention of many players.

[…Finally, Yantong, the incarnation of the plague, also died, and my diseased state collapsed. After leaving a few words, she turned and left.]

[…I asked her, but she ignored me. This is roughly the content of the dynamic plot I encountered this time.]

【Everyone, do I have a chance to see her again? 】

【Poster: Xiao Ming】

In terms of time, what Zhang Ming encountered this time was not long, but if we look at the complexity of the matter, it is indeed difficult to explain it clearly in one go.

Therefore, both players and strategy experts recommend that he give a detailed description.

Zhang Ming also happened to have some questions, so he wrote them down and posted them on the Lingzhu Forum.

then……

The players were going wild, leaving comments one after another, like a real-time chat.

"Ahhh you, Xiao Ming, I was wondering where you were going, but I didn't expect you to go see the NPC girl behind our backs!"

"I'm not envious at all. (gritting teeth.jpg)"

"More than 3,000 contributions! I think I can buy the Fallen Fire Knight suit I've always dreamed of with this!"

"God damn it, I also want to go on adventures with the blind girl. I'll be happy if you kill me with one punch. (花痴花痴.jpg)"

"? What's the weird XP upstairs?"

"How dare you say that our prison players' XP is weird? You are the heretic!"

The replies to the post are divided into several categories.

There must be a lot of pure nonsense replies like this, and it is easy for players browsing the posts to grin and laugh.

Then there was a discussion about Zhang Ming's post and Zhang Ming himself.

"No, man, your writing is terrible. My cousin can write better than you even if he holds a pen with a grove. (Picking nose)"

"Cousin:?"

"Something is wrong. Nine out of ten things are wrong. What does 'will I be able to meet her again' mean? Why do I feel weird? (Confused)"

"That's what I said."

"It's over, Xiao Ming, you're in trouble, you've fallen in love!"

“Hahahaha, I was just wondering why this article looks immature. I like to read this kind of virgin fantasy perspective.”

"Too bad, no one would really fall in love with the paper wife in the game. (laughing.jpg)"

"Fuck, you keep cursing!"

"Ah? What paper figure? Isn't this wife more three-dimensional than your paper candle figure?"

"That's right, long live Miss Nonia!"

"It's just statistics, a bunch of idiots out of touch with reality. (picking nose)"

"This is so funny, isn't the AI ​​in this game smarter than a humanoid like you? I suggest you install a prosthetic brain first."

"Tsk, we can't be so shy, why are you all so excited? In my opinion, it's a waste of Lingzhu's technical ability to use it to make a fighting game. It's simply the wrong path!"

"...That's true."

"agree!"

“I suggest you switch to action games. (squinting smile.jpg)”

"Lingzhu Official, I kneel down to you, really, I have never begged anyone in my life... (crying)"

"@Lingzhu Official, unknown or famous?"

"..."

A group of people discussed fantasy and reality because of the content of Zhang Ming's article, and almost quarreled because of disagreements. In the end, they suddenly stopped fighting and reached a consensus because of some strange topics...

I have to say, it's a bit humorous.

The next type of posts are discussions about the Lingzhu plot, ranked third. If you don’t read the posts carefully, you may not be able to tell the difference...

"@Storyteller, it's time to work, gkd, come out and work!"

"Ah, damn Granny Pig is not here at a time like this."

"Brothers, if my guess is correct, this 'epidemic' should be in the same category as corruption and madness, right?"

"You said you guessed it right, so it must be right."

"I guess so, but judging from Xiao Ming's post, this disease is scarier than the others."

"Why do I feel like this NPC named Sekasi knew from the beginning that Rock Copper was the disease itself?"

Some players analyzed the entire incident between Zhang Ming and Sekasi on Zero Island directly from the beginning.

"How to say?"

"Yeah, that's strange, how come she wasn't infected by the disease? Could it be that she is the disease itself? Was the Broken Core that was given to Xiao Ming actually used as a trick?"

"Uh... I actually just wanted to say that her attitude towards Yantong was not right."

"Fuck, I have to say it, my buddy has a pretty big imagination."

"Ah... if that's true, that's too outrageous."

"If this is the real twist, the plot of this game will be a masterpiece."

"Banned your head, are you catching players making up history?"

"...I feel that this is more likely because they are stronger."

"Speaking of which, since Sekashi is so strong, why did he have to save Xiao Ming? He even gave him the Broken Core. Doesn't the Firewood Gatherer need it?"
