Strange Voyage: Summoning the Fourth Disaster.

Chapter 663 Should we build a road?

"My power is growing stronger, but I will grow old, and death still pursues me. Once I die, those who come after me will inherit the contract and the path I have paved..."

"If I can leave this world before I die of old age, my parents and relatives will surely be gone by then..."

[(Some messy graffiti)]

[(A quirky song lyric)]

"These outsiders aren't all good people either..."

"They completely fail to understand my good intentions. I didn't build this road entirely for myself. Once it's completed, those who come after will be able to enter the depths of the Long Night Divine Realm more easily!"

"It's impossible to ask for sincere blessings... I must change the way I build roads... Perhaps... I can do some screening, which might help avoid some kind-hearted people..."

"Let's do it this way..."

Finally, a wooden sign appeared on the edge of the cliff, seemingly implying that there was no silver buried there.

And this newly built road was completely replaced by blood...

Sure enough.

After reading it, Li Miao closed the notebook.

From the moment he saw the two materials the Road-Building Spider Mother needed to build the new road, he had already guessed the final outcome.

After all, the nameless road repairman had said it from the beginning...

"More road construction materials have arrived..."

It is not difficult to see from the very beginning of the account.

This nameless road repairman was an ambitious man, but also a man of conscience.

He wanted to resurrect his lover, to escape his lowly bloodline, and to gain the power to control his own destiny and that of his family and friends.

You could say he was just an ordinary person.

However, flesh and blood are easy to obtain, but blessings are rare.

Even in a world without darkness, it is extremely difficult to obtain free help from strangers.

Not to mention, this is in the Long Night Divine Realm, which has such strange rules.

Therefore, the experiences and changes of the nameless road repairman are quite reasonable.

As time went on, his bottom line was gradually broken, and all sorts of psychological tortures continued to squeeze his mind. The loneliness of the long nights became unbearable for him.

finally.

His steps still involuntarily led him down the path he had once least wanted to take.

Later on, they stopped even considering seeking blessings from others.

Li Miao shook his head slightly, lost in thought.

Although the other party's depravity was an undeniable fact, he did not criticize the nameless road repairman's thoughts.

If he were the one who signed the contract to build the road here, he might not be able to stick to his bottom line and not cross the line.

Human nature is the most changeable and the most vulnerable to test.

Therefore, at this moment, Li Miao only felt a few emotions.

"Road repair, divine servant..."

"This must be implied as a way to light a fire in the long night."

"The blessing that this nameless road repairman received is also very interesting. It just so happens to be at a point where he can have a basic conversation with those who come after him. The Soul Cleansing Night Pool that follows is also very interesting."

"Was this prepared specifically for this person?"

This question couldn't help but arise in Li Miao's mind.

The story of this nameless road repairman is truly interesting.

At first glance, it seems to be just a story of an ordinary person pursuing power and ultimately falling into depravity.

But upon closer examination, it's not hard to see that this might be a test of the torch that burns through the long night.

And what He tests is human nature.

"This nameless road repairman will most likely not die of old age."

"He has become a part of this place."

Li Miao then thought of the other person's fear of "aging" and "death" in their account.

He didn't know if he would die.

Because he was constantly aging, and the near-death experience of that attack left him with a deep-seated fear of death. But in reality, considering that the other party was treated as part of the game's instance, he most likely wouldn't die.

Aging should just be part of the test.

"What exactly is this 'Long Night's Flame' trying to achieve?"

Li Miao frowned slightly.

This reminded him of the strange rules of the long night.

As a supreme source of inspiration, there must be a reason why He created this place and put these trials into action.

Just as Li Miao was pondering.

A figure with a firelight suddenly flickered in front of him, circling around him as if trying to attract his attention.

Li Miao's face darkened, and he threw the record and the Golden Cup of Obsession to the other party before finally calming down after going ashore.

"The road-building spider queen should still be here..."

Li Miao recalled the words in the account and the strange sound he had heard at the beginning.

After taking a few steps forward, some strange outlines indeed appeared ahead.

At the same time, the end of this new road also appeared, below which lay an endless void of night.

A giant spider with a genderless human face was crawling at the end of the new road, brewing something.

Behind it was a pile of bones, clearly flesh and blood fed to it by the road builders.

It seemed they had sensed someone's arrival.

The Spider Mother suddenly stopped vomiting, and her long spider legs turned her head to look at Li Miao in front of her.

Then, to Li Miao's astonishment, it opened its mouth and spoke human language.

“Building a new road can lead to transcendence.”

"A lost light in the long night..."

"...Do you need to build a road?"

The road-building spider mother swayed her forelegs twice, extending a sincere invitation to Li Miao.

Upon hearing this, Li Miao frowned slightly: "You can speak?"

"...Should we repair the road?" The Spider Mother asked again, staring straight at Li Miao, waiting for his answer.

Seeing this, Li Miao tried asking a few more questions from other angles.

But without a doubt, the other party's only response was to ask Li Miao whether or not to repair the road.

It seems that the other party does not have the independent thinking ability like Carlos, but is more like a pre-programmed program.

What will happen if we build the road, and what will happen if we don't?

Li Miao was a little curious. After thinking for a moment, he glanced at the people on the shore who were still reading the text behind him, and suddenly an idea came to him.

Then, he looked at the Spider Mother who repairs the road and replied, "No."

After hearing Li Miao's refusal.

The Spider Mother, who had been working on the road, finally stopped asking questions and nodded stiffly.

"Then... let's keep going..."

"Seeking light in the long night..."

Having said that, it stopped staring at Li Miao and instead lowered its head to the end of the new road.

"That's it?"

Li Miao was somewhat disappointed, as he had hoped to trigger some additional plot developments and dialogues.

However, he was not discouraged.

After all, there's still an option in this conversation.

Thinking of this, Li Miao revealed a malicious smile, walked to the shore where the man was examining the text, and gestured for him to come to the Spider Mother who was repairing the road.

Then another person arrived.

The Spider Mother's gaze also fell on those who had come ashore, and she asked the same question as before.

"...Do you need to build a road?"
