Whose world-class drama are they criticizing?

Regardless, the four players were on high alert, and with yesterday's experience, they were fearless.

"The castle gates cannot be opened."

After calm observation, the legendary investigator said,

"There's a small hole to the left of the main gate; that's the right way. The four of us need to divide the work: Uncle will be the thrower, throwing the markers; Yuzu will be the shield bearer, using her shield to block the incoming wooden arrows; I'll be the swordsman, deflecting any stray arrows and fire arrows; and finally, Makka Pakka will be in charge of the charge."

The comments section was flooded with messages: "This game is tough to play, but fun to watch."

Viewers have discovered the best way to play Eden: play it online.

With clear division of labor, let's sprint ahead!

The old man took out the collected projectiles from his pocket and threw them onto the invisible bridge, scattering them as markers.

The remaining players then charged forward.

Seeing the players' fierce approach, Henry drew his bow and fired, while Yuzu raised his shield to block the oncoming rain of swords.

On the left side of the group, the legendary investigator drew his sword and flicked it, sending sparks flying. At the very front of the group, Makka Pakka, covered in arrow wounds, was bleeding profusely and staining the road red.

Sprint, go!

Henry was shocked. He had never imagined that the lightless beings possessed such intelligence and teamwork. Nature was truly amazing.

Could it be that they didn't have any driftwood either?

Since arrows can't stop the Lightless, let's assassinate them invisibly.

Henry hardened his heart; his profession was not a marksman, but an assassin.

With this thought in mind, Henry's figure gradually dimmed, about to disappear into the shadows.

Let's fight them to the death.

Even if it means my own death, I can say that I have done right by my parents' spirits in heaven.

"That's fine, let them in."

Just then, Ryan grabbed his shoulder, saying that he wanted to keep the stealth assassination project for later.

Henry looked puzzled.

“Mr. Henry, it’s an aesthetic.”

Faced with Henry's confusion, Lane offered another insightful explanation:

"The Dark Ones will rise from the dead, and simply killing them will not stop their advance. The lords of all ages have failed to grasp this, and that is why the Dark Territory has gradually fallen over the millennia."

Henry thought Lane made sense.

Are those without light strong?

They are not strong, of course, but they can come back to life after they die, while humans only have one life, so the Dark Ones always win.

This is an unsolvable age-old problem. Could it be that Ryan has found a solution?

"Not only must their bodies be killed, but their souls must also be destroyed."

Ryan explained his design aesthetics, his smile growing even more innocent: "First, give them hope, then push them into endless despair, and repeat the cycle, using the long reincarnation to wear down their will. Finally, make them realize that all their efforts are in vain, and that giving up is the most delicious art!"

Finally, they all quit the game.

Henry was startled by Lane's words. What kind of dark aesthetics was this?

He was persuaded.

Unexpectedly, although Lord Ryan's innate realm was insufficient, only at the half-step orphan realm, his theoretical realm far surpassed the realm of the whole family, and had entered the realm of art.

Ryan's original intention was to let players into the city. The invisible bridge was meant to annoy players, not to block them. Only after players entered could they be locked inside and slowly killed.

The surprises are yet to come.

"Finally, I've broken through!"

The legendary investigator burst out of the small hole, walked around the path for dozens of steps, and finally entered the city of Chuguang. He looked back at the surrounding scenery, which was full of broken walls and ruins, but he felt a sense of happiness after surviving a disaster.

"From Sunset Forest to Dawn City, there wasn't a single respawn point in between," the legendary investigator remarked. "However, this journey has finally come to an end. It was truly an exhilarating Redstone adventure, one I'll miss."

It's said to be nostalgic, but he absolutely refuses to go through it again.

The road is long and difficult, but the most infuriating thing is that there is no respawn point. Every time you die, you have to start all over again.

After conquering this difficult journey, a sense of accomplishment naturally arises in my heart.

Thinking about it this way, the old man even felt like crying.

"The church ahead is the second resurrection point."

The old man said that players can see the guidance of the contract stone. "To be honest, this game is still quite interesting. The difficulty of fighting monsters is simple, it's just that running around the map is a bit difficult. It's really easy and relaxing."

Passing through the courtyard, you'll find the dilapidated chapel of light and shadow.

Under the warm white sunlight, the silhouette of the ancient city swayed in the wind.

Although the church was dilapidated and old, it felt so warm and welcoming to the exhausted players who had just survived the ordeal, like a refreshing rain in the desert.

The players followed the glowing light and finally arrived at the church entrance. But as they got closer, the legendary investigator suddenly had a bad feeling as he looked at the church doors.

"Please don't think it can't be opened from this side, please don't think it can't be opened from this side..." the legendary investigator prayed silently.

Perhaps the legendary investigator's prayers had worked, for it was indeed not impossible to open it from this side.

Instead, neither side can be opened!

【Holy Fire Church】

[Requires 'Prince of Light Key' (0/3)]

[Tower, Back Mountain, Dry Disease Town]

"..."

A long silence enveloped the four players. They looked at each other for a while, then stared blankly at the keyhole on the door, unable to say a word for a long time.

The barrage of comments exploded, and the audience was laughing hysterically.

The second save point is inside the church, just a step away. If they take that one step, they can be resurrected in the City of Light. But that one step is like an eternity away.

After a long while, the players finally accepted the fact that the save point was locked.

What does 'need a key' mean?

What is (0/3)?

It takes three pieces to make one whole?

"I'll break your xylophone into three pieces!" the players roared in fury. "And then put it back together as one piece!"

Chapter 47 The Melancholy Sister Makes Her Debut

bump!

The old man pounded on the door with a wooden stick. His movements were heavy, and the huge stick made a whooshing sound and sent splinters flying, but the church door did not budge. The door had been blessed by the church and could not be destroyed from the outside.

"Looks like we'll have to go find the key."

"That's what the legendary investigator said."

It's hard to believe that such a retro game still exists in 2062.

“Three keys.” Yuzu looked at the map. “They are for the Tower, the Back Mountain, and Blighttown. According to the map, the Tower is the closest to us.”

"Let's take the shortest route and grab the key from the tower. I'll lead the team."

The old man pounded on the door one last time, "What are you afraid of? If we can't get in, we'll just rob it. The monsters in this game are so easy, it's just a little troublesome."

It's no wonder the old man was so confident. He had traveled all the way from Sunset Forest and encountered beasts that could be killed in one or two hits. Their moves were simple and had low damage, and sometimes he didn't even need to roll.

The battles are just mindless mowing down of grass, lacking any depth or substance.

Ultimately, this game is just about navigating the map and going around in circles; that's about it.

It's still a game for the masses.

The old man complained that the combat was too easy. He always prided himself on being a master of action games, but this game was so simple that he couldn't fully utilize his skills.

"The tower is on the west side of the castle." The old man slung the wooden stick over his shoulder. "Come with me!"

They walked around the church, along the path, and through the wooden fence. Soon the silhouette of the tower came into view: it was a dilapidated three-story building. The bell tower was half collapsed, leaning crookedly like an old man. Half of it was covered with ivy, and the glass windows were cracked, with a few withered vines sticking out.

'Shadow Tower' is the name of this tower.

They encountered no obstacles along the way and entered the tower smoothly. It was called the Shadow Tower, but the tower was well-lit. Warm white sunlight shone down from the top of the tower and shone brightly on the broken glass.

"Watch out!" Yuzu, whose race was 'Elf', had a farther field of vision than anyone else. She quickly noticed the anomaly. "There's someone sitting on those steps!"

The players looked up and, sure enough, a knight was sitting on the stairs that spiraled upwards along the shadows.

The knight, clad in full armor and with his face hidden by a visor, sat on the steps with his head bowed, a golden dragon sword beside him.

She kept her head down, seemingly unaware of the players. The shadow of the Shadow Tower covered her, and just looking at her back, one could feel the desolate and lost atmosphere.

The dilapidated tower, withered plants, and lost knight create a scene full of story.

Although this crappy game has no plot at all, as a detail-oriented person, the legendary investigator had a feeling: "It seems that this knight has a very painful past."

Was it your lover who was murdered?

Or was he betrayed by his brother?

Or is it the destruction of our hometown?

That's what made the knight so lost, so sorrowful, so gloomy, as if his faith had been shattered.

No one can know for sure, but it must have been a difficult past.

Based on his experience playing various games, the legendary investigator considered countless possibilities, each with an epic feel to it, finally giving the story some room to be explored.

Helen kept her head down, oblivious to the player, completely absorbed in her grief, her eyes vacant as she said:

"Lu Ming's swordsmanship is going to get a sexually transmitted disease... Lu Ming's swordsmanship is going to get a sexually transmitted disease..."

The old man doesn't care about the plot; he skips all of that.

"It's just a small monster."

He only had his eye on Helen's armor and the fine sword beside her. Ignoring everything else, he swung his club forward and launched a surprise attack on the enemy.

"Don't worry, this Melancholy Sister hasn't attacked us yet, and her health bar hasn't shown..."

Before the legendary investigator could finish speaking, the old man's wooden stick struck Helen on the head.

With her head spinning, Helen snapped out of her grief over the thought that "Lu Ming's sword technique will cause sexually transmitted diseases." As soon as she looked up, she saw her uncle's ancient, god-like appearance.

Why do the lightless appear in the tower?

Could it be that Ryan deliberately let them in?

The Lightless are the most filthy things in the world, originating from the primordial curse 'Azure Silver Eclipse,' hated by everyone and even dogs. Just as maggots spring from the decaying flesh, the Lightless are born from the decaying soul, beings even more filthy than the curse of withering.

After a brief moment of confusion, Helen cleared her mind and a bold possibility came to mind:

Could it be that Ryan wants the Lightless to also practice the Lu Ming Sword Technique?

Although it sounds outrageous, it makes sense if it's Ryan. He can even use the Curse of the Withered, so what are the Dark Ones?

This man would stop at nothing to tarnish Lu Ming's swordsmanship and humiliate her.

Even those without light can practice Lu Ming's sword technique, but she can't.

Having figured out the whole story, even if it was just a fantasy, Helen was still furious. "Lu Ming... die!"

Provoked by her uncle, she suddenly stood up, her fierce fighting spirit emanating from her. She picked up the dragon-gold longsword beside her, and her health bar was now fully charged. Seeing this, her uncle rolled backward. He glanced at the players behind him; none of them dared to attack—they were all cowards.

This game isn't difficult. Are you going to chicken out just because you encounter the first humanoid soldier?

Today we'll show them who the real tough guys are.

He's a true action game master.

[The Blessing of Rolling] and [The Blessing of Parrying] are ready. Uncle raises his wooden stick, waiting for Helen to draw her sword so he can parry and kill the soldier without taking any damage.

Come!

Helen raised her Dragon Gold Sword high, about to strike down with Lu Ming's sword technique, when she saw her uncle's stance and the wooden stick in his hand. A strange inner demon flashed through her mind, and the scene of Ryan harming her with a tree branch was vivid in her mind. The broken vow suddenly flashed in her eyes.
