I got an S-level talent in the apocalypse, and I will lead Blue Star to rise

Chapter 270 Curse
"So, you destroyed all those villages to frame another dragon?"

Ning Yun frowned, unable to comprehend Adrian's thought process.

Adrian, who had transformed into a dragon, silently shook his head.

"No, it was I who provoked them at the city gate; it was another dragon that destroyed the village."

Adrian shed tears of regret; he had guarded Mo City for who knows how many years.

My feelings for this land are complex, a mixture of dependence and hatred.

Motown's current size was built up bit by bit by him.

But if it weren't for Mo City, he wouldn't have been cursed by the evil dragon and trapped here for all eternity.

"My original plan was to disguise myself as the Silver Dragon, cause chaos in Mo City, and then use my position as the city lord to unite the corrupt nobles and attack the Silver Dragon."

"As soon as I leave the city, I will transform into a dragon, kill them, and then perish together with the silver dragon."

For Mo City, the real crisis is not the evil dragon, but the nobles in the city.

At first, Adrian was also fooled by them.

But after serving as the city lord for so long, he gradually came to understand just how ruthless the oppression of ordinary people by those nobles was.

He had killed a group of nobles, but after they died, new nobles emerged and continued to do evil.

Adrian was incredibly frustrated; he couldn't figure out how to break this cycle.

So, before his actual death, the only thing he could think of was to kill all the nobles.

As for what will happen to Mo City after his death, he can neither see it nor care about it.

Leon was the only one who truly heard Adrian's story, and he could feel the other's despair and helplessness.

He felt sympathy for Adrian, who was standing before him.

If it were him, trapped in an endless cycle of reincarnation, he would probably completely break down.

No one expected that the truth would be like this.

"Does that mean we can complete the mission if we do nothing?"

If Adrian's plan goes smoothly, both dragons will die, and the nobles who are sucking blood from Mo City will also die.

The quest to "Defeat the dragon and save the city" can be completed with minimal effort.

Is this really the truth?
For a moment, no one could believe it.

Even Ning Yun found it absurd; were hidden dungeons really that simple?
"Are you sure that being killed by a dragon will lift the curse?"

Despite being a dragon, Adrian gave a wry smile.

"Actually, I'm not sure either, but I can only try. I've lived too long, I'm too tired, I really want to rest, have a good sleep, and preferably never wake up again."

Over the long years, he had marriages, lovely children, close friends, and trusted comrades-in-arms.

But no matter how hard he tries, they will all eventually die, leaving him alone.

Over time, Adrian will deliberately distance himself from others and will not want to build close relationships with anyone.

If you never had it, you won't lose it.

Throughout the long journey, Adrian had only one thought in his mind: death.

He wanted to truly die and return to the embrace of death.

"If you kill me, will I truly die?"

"If you can, kill me now."

Adrian closed his eyes, even with a hint of anticipation.

Without hesitation, Xiao Qichen plunged the Crimson Blood Blade into his neck.

The health bar instantly dropped to zero, but the next moment, it began to slowly rise again.

"As expected, he won't die."

They can't kill Adrian, and sooner or later he'll be driven to a mental breakdown by torture. Perhaps, he'll eventually destroy Mo City.

Adrian is undoubtedly the boss of the hidden dungeon. He wants to die, and the players want to kill him, but he just can't die.

For a moment, everyone was at a standstill.

Should we really go along with his plan?

Chen Yuanyuan couldn't help but complain, "This dungeon is really cunning. We went around in circles, only to end up back where we started."

Ji Jia, however, felt that "this is a trap designed for us by the game, one thing leading to another."

So all their efforts were for nothing?
But soon, the game's developers proved that their efforts had not been in vain.

Help Adrian break the dragon's curse and save the city-state! (Progress 50%/100%)

Not only did the task progress bar move forward, but even the task description was changed.

It wasn't until they saw the mission had changed that everyone truly believed Adrian's explanation.

The problem now is how to remove the curse from him.

According to him, if the evil dragon kills him, the curse will be lifted?

"You've lived this long, have you really not found a way?" Ning Yun was skeptical.

She always felt that Adrian was still hiding something.

She approached him and discovered that Adrian would not die.

But he also gets hurt and feels pain, just like now, his wounds are slowly healing.

It's not like playing an online game where you get a healthy new body.

Ning Yun even saw many old scars that had never faded.

Perhaps it was to save someone, perhaps it was because he was attacked while his mind was clouded, or perhaps it was left behind by self-inflicted wounds.

“Mr. Adrian, I know we’ve only known each other for a day and you don’t trust us, but we’re the only ones here who have no connection with Mo City. If you’re not willing to tell the whole truth, there’s nothing we can do to help you.”

Compared to Ning Yun's patience, Xiao Qichen was much more forceful.

He didn't sheathe his knife, and his tone was icy.

"This matter has nothing to do with us, so we don't need to concern ourselves with it."

Leon didn't realize it at first, but then he thought about it and realized that their current persona was that of travelers who had accidentally wandered into Mo City.

It's only natural to not want to get involved in this matter.

"Well, although I sympathize with you, this matter is too complicated, and I don't want to do it."

Meanwhile, in the team chat, everyone had already started sending messages like crazy.

Some people play the good cop, and some people play the bad cop.

Wei Hanchuan wasn't good at talking, so he simply kept a straight face.

The time to revert to human form had not yet arrived, so Adrian remained in his dragon form.

He looked up at the sky, and the red in his eyes, which were originally scarlet, had faded a little.

"You should know that our world has been invaded before, and many strange things have appeared, such as the guns in your hands."

Leon's brain nearly went blank as he stammered out the translation.

What do you mean?
Is this place, like Earth, also controlled by a survival game?
Chen Yuanyuan wanted to continue asking questions, but she also knew that now was not the time.

Ning Yun felt a sense of relief, as if a weight had been lifted from her shoulders. So, it really was true.

She had guessed before that the survival game was clearly a creation of an advanced civilization. Since it could invade Earth, it could invade other planets as well.

However, this was the first time she had heard this fact from an NPC.

No, they are not NPCs, but real humans!
