My Player 2

Chapter 46 Black Mud (Seeking follow-up reading)

Iron Wall City, outer city wall.

Li Li sat in the office and waited until the rain of arrows outside the window completely dissipated before he opened his eyes after a long period of closure.

He had just attached himself to the players' eyes, and watched the entire battle of "Broken Leg" from a first-person perspective, and checked on the situation of El and Emperia.

Al only suffered minor injuries and was able to move freely.

But Aperia and her knights were badly injured, their souls were severely damaged, and they were being led by several players towards the Crystal Sealed Village.

Li Li really wanted to inform this group of players and send Aperia to him.

He can use the power of the Lord God to heal all the injuries of his saint.

But he currently has no way to contact players remotely.

He was unable to log into Blue Star's social software, and his "disguise" was guarding the statue in the new base. He could contact players on the forum, but in addition to considering how to prove that he was the NPC in the game, it would also expose the fact that he was a forum administrator.

This embarrassing situation made Li Li determined to create an "in-game" social system, even if this social system was not safe.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk."

There was a knock on the office door and Li Li tilted his head in confusion.

Although his two saints were not there, Li Li had already placed the statue in the new base. He would go there every two hours to find players who needed upgrades.

So players generally don't come up, let alone knock on the door politely.

"Please come in." Li Li said.

The office door was pushed open, and a face that was both familiar and unfamiliar appeared in front of Li Li.

"You should get yourself a secretary."

The mayor, who often appears on roadside billboards, walked in.

He is a typical elite man, wearing a custom-made high-end suit, a slicked-back hair, and shiny leather shoes.

Li Li had met him once during cooperation negotiations and they even shook hands. He knew that he was a demigod-level being.

"I need to have close contact with people from other worlds, and the secretary will only build a wall between us." Li Li stood up to greet the uninvited guest, and stretched out his hand and said, "Mr. Mayor, why did you suddenly visit me?"

The mayor walked up and shook Li Li's hand with a strange smile on his face.

"To corrupt you."

The next moment, something that made Li Li feel a little uncomfortable stabbed along the mayor's palm, making his palm itchy.

The mayor who did all this seemed to be draining away his own essence. He quickly aged from a strong, middle-aged man into a dying, shriveled old man.

Seeing that Li Li didn't react, he had to keep increasing his strength, and finally squeezed out his own essence. With a "bang", it shattered into pieces of gray stone that had no human shape.

What happened?
Li Li looked at the squirming black mud in his palm, then looked at the mayor's corpse on the ground, and then looked at the black mud in his palm again. It took him a long time to come back to his senses.

His first reaction was to commit fraud, but he immediately rejected the idea.

Because he found that this black mud could really contaminate a god within the barrier. If the one who was contaminated was the teddy bear [Nodens], He would probably have been distorted beyond recognition.

But here's the thing.

Li Li didn't hide His real name, did he? Why did he only send a demigod to corrupt Him?
Those dozens of talkative players who always complained about their child abuse of the teddy bear dolls, their own saints and knights, and the red-haired magical girl, all knew that His true form was the God of Creation.

With a little investigation, it shouldn't be difficult to get my own intelligence, right?

However, Li Li did not dwell on this issue for too long.

The other party did such a stupid thing, either because time was tight and there was no time to eliminate the information gap, or because the mayor was not important and was just a pawn used to test their own pawns.

Now it has happened.

What Li Li had to do was to figure out something more fundamental. He played with the black mud that the mayor had sacrificed himself to create, and tried to pour some of his own limited faith into it.

Just before the two came into contact, the black mud on Li Li's hand suddenly stretched out sharp spikes and took the initiative to rush towards Faith.

The two completely canceled each other out the moment they touched, without even a fraction of energy escaping.

——This wriggling black mud is a concept that is completely opposite to belief.

Li Li estimated that in order to completely annihilate the black mud, it would take about 15 faiths, which is roughly the amount of experience a player needs to upgrade from level 1 to level 157.

However, players also need to learn some skills, and the actual experience value consumption is more than five times that of upgrading.

Li Li thought about the first day he came to this world and what happened after he gained the faith of hundreds of thousands of people from the statue.

At that time, He left the barrier and looked down at the world as the God of Creation.

At first, there was nothing unusual, but after He used [Faith Points], He was immediately penetrated by the pervasive corruption.

Perhaps it was because he mobilized his faith that he attracted the dormant black mud.

At that time, Li Li discovered that his own faith could resolve the pervasive pain, so he used his faith to shield himself without even thinking about it.

It turns out that faith and corrupt black mud can annihilate each other.

Oh, right!

Under the circumstances at that time, Li Li's entire body was buried in the corrupt black mud, which caused him severe pain all over his body and he almost lost his mind due to the pain, but even so he still escaped.

The small piece of black mud in His hand was only slightly corroding His skin, making His hand itchy.

This is enough to prove that the black mud can only harm but cannot corrupt Him, the God of Creation.

Li Li has always suspected that "corruption" is related to "faith".

After all, ancient gods like Nodens who abandoned their believers were the least affected by the corruption and ultimately escaped the fate of being corrupted.

It now seems that the problem is not with "faith", but with "corruption" that has come here on its own, smelling the scent of "faith".

"Faith", an energy that belongs exclusively to gods, is only a medium that attracts corruption.

When the gods touch the black mud brought by faith, they will slowly fall into madness, unless they know all this in advance and use faith to annihilate the incoming corruption and protect themselves from being touched.

It seems that these corruptions have great power. No wonder they almost destroyed the world...

Just as Li Li was deep in thought, someone knocked on his office door again.

But this time, the person knocking on the door was obviously not as well-mannered as the mayor. After hearing the noise in the house, he pushed the door open and walked in.

A man with a penetrating wound on his stomach and wearing the standard military uniform of the Alliance appeared in front of Li Li.

He glanced at the expensive custom suit on the ground and the mixture of sand and stone inside the suit. His pupils shrank slightly, but he still asked calmly, "What is this?"

"Just like you would expect, the mayor of Iron Wall City always wears the same clothes in order to leave an impression on the voters."

Hearing this, the man in military uniform raised his head and carefully looked at Li Li from head to toe. After a pause, he asked:

“…Is He the demon you mentioned in your dream?”

"Maybe he's just an abandoned child."

"It looks like Iron Wall City will have to hold a new election."

　Thanks to Yunzhonggumeng for the reward, thank you big guy!
　　Today is the recommended day that determines whether you can advance. I had been planning to add another chapter, but I have been suffering from severe insomnia recently. I only sleep less than 5 hours a day on average. My body can't take it anymore.

　　I will go to the hospital to get some medicine tomorrow, and then try again after my underworld work and rest are healed.
