Then, a crack appeared out of nowhere, and the old man, the incarnation of the World Tree, flew down angrily.

"Oh, it's you, so noisy." The Witch of Death glanced at the incarnated old man and said, "How dare you interrupt my conversation with the Emperor? Do you know that this is a capital crime?"

"..." The incarnated old man's face twitched, and then he looked at Li Cheng: "Sorry, she probably didn't take her medicine today. I'll take her away right away."

"Take him away? Just you? Haha." Lani sneered, and a black scimitar appeared in her hand.

"..." Li Cheng looked at this incredible scene, but his eyes unconsciously turned to Rihanna.

Really...

Is there no solution?

Chapter 218: Don’t look back, Elf sister, I am your sister!

In the branded consciousness space, the old man who was the incarnation of the World Tree covered his forehead with his hands, feeling an extremely painful headache:

"Rani, don't force me to do it."

Lani emphasized: "Call me Diabolos."

The incarnated old man said earnestly: "Lani, hurry up and leave here with me, and don't affect the progress of the trial anymore."

Lani continued to emphasize: "Call me Diabolos."

The incarnation of an old man patiently advised: "Every minute you are here, you are affecting the development of the trial. If this continues, the difficulty of Li Cheng's trial will rise to an unpredictable level, Lani."

Lani repeatedly emphasized: "I told you, call me Diabolos!"

The incarnated old man roared: "If you dare to compete with me again, I will banish you from the World Tree forever and never give you any chance to come in and eat for free! Damn it, give me the medicine, take the medicine!"

"..." Lani was silent for a moment, then looked at Li Cheng: "Hey, this is just an illusion anyway, these drugs have no effect on me, I just took them, so that this old guy won't bother me all the time. Lord Destiny, please don't really think I'm sick."

Li Cheng: “…”

Li Cheng: "I understand, I understand everything. Don't worry, I completely trust your identity."

Half a minute later, Lani took the medicine that transformed her into an old man and looked at Li Cheng, puzzled: "Hey, who are you? Hey, who am I? Where is this? What am I doing here?"

Li Cheng: “…”

"Haha, just kidding, Lord of Fate Nyarlathip, of course I remember your identity, and I remember mine too." Lani smiled slyly, placed an emblem in Li Cheng's palm, and showed a bright and sunny smile:

"In that case, I will leave here first. When you return to Full Moon Academy, we will meet again."

"As for the rest, I don't need to say more. The Emperor knows that fate is predetermined. What is destined to happen will happen, and what is not destined to happen will not happen."

"Rihanna is a poor kid, but her end is sealed."

"Emperor, please be careful not to cause bad karma because of her fate."

As she spoke, Lani's body was shrouded in black mist.

Her figure gradually became blurred, and finally disappeared in this space.

The corner of the old man's mouth twitched: "It's over, it's over, it feels like this guy's illness is getting worse."

He looked at Li Cheng again, took out the medicine bottle, and said suspiciously: "Boy, do you want some too?"

“No, no, no, I don’t need it.” Li Cheng waved his hands quickly: “Ahem, what I just said about Nyarlathotep was just made up. You know, I can’t beat that crazy woman, ahem.”

"Hmm..." The incarnated old man nodded, and just as he was about to say something, another crack appeared behind him.

Then, the Witch of Death poked her head out and stared at Li Cheng: "Who do you say is a crazy woman?"

Li Cheng: “…”

The incarnated old man: “…”

Both of them were sweating profusely in an instant.

Li Cheng's toes even dug out a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment from his shoes.

In silence, Lani remained calm, but suddenly walked around the incarnated old man and sent a voice message to Li Cheng: "As expected of the Emperor Nyarlathip, you are indeed a hero among the gods. You actually chose to pretend to be a psychopath and deceive this foolish old man."

"Emperor, I am indeed too straightforward, far from you."

Lani's logic is very simple - she first makes sure that she is not sick and is a normal person, not a psychopath.

Therefore, those who think she is crazy are naturally crazy themselves.

Li Cheng pretended to be like them, which naturally meant pretending to be a psychopath.

What a rigorous logic.

Li Cheng: “…”

Li Cheng: “…”

Li Cheng stood with his hands behind his back, looking down on the world: "Ha, I didn't expect you to see through my plan. That's right, I just want to pretend to be a psychopath, blend in with these fools who can't see through the illusion, use them, guide them, and break the illusion."

"Sir Diabolos was able to see through my plan. I recognize your wisdom."

Lani: "Okay, okay."

Li Cheng: "Basic exercises are not allowed."

Lani: "Retreat first."

Li Cheng: "Goodbye."

Just like that, the Witch of Death disappeared once again.

The incarnated old man: “…”

"Li Cheng, I just felt like someone was scolding me, do you have any idea?"

"Hehe, I think this is an illusion, what do you think?" Li Cheng blinked.

"Okay, well, this time Lani barged in here, it's my fault..." At this point, the incarnated old man looked at Li Cheng suspiciously again: "Let me ask you, are you sure you don't need to take medicine?"

"I'm really not sick, brother." Li Cheng was speechless.

"That's what Lani said."

"..."

"Forget it. Seeing how you were born, you probably have nothing to do with mental illness. Anyway, I was indeed inconsiderate this time. Well, she won't come again. Okay, you continue the trial, and I'll withdraw."

The incarnated old man waved his hand and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute!" Li Cheng was unhappy: "I say, Master World Tree, is your apology just a few words?"

"..." The incarnated old man stopped and narrowed his eyes: "Li Cheng, do you know what you are saying? I am the incarnation of the World Tree and the builder of this trial. I apologize to you, which is already a great honor for you. What else do you want?"

"So... you mean, I don't deserve your apology?" Li Cheng used regeneration to save the game. After making sure he was safe, he looked at him resentfully: "A weak person like me doesn't deserve an apology from a strong person like you, nor does he deserve your compensation?"

“……”The corners of the incarnated old man’s mouth twitched.

If he hadn't known that this thing was a newborn Dongxi, he would have really been fooled and thought he was pitiful.

But now, he just felt that this thing was really an old hermaphrodite.

So, the incarnated old man said sarcastically:

"Oh, who can look down upon you, Lord Li Cheng? You are the rising star of the east sun, which is unseen in eternity. Tsk tsk tsk, all right, get out of here as far as you can. Hurry up, get out."

"Don't force me to increase the difficulty of the trial several times."

"Okay, okay, old man, you are strong, you are awesome, you are mighty." Li Cheng gave a thumbs up: "I can't compare to you."

"That's right, it's good to know." The incarnated old man waved his hand: "Just do what you should do, don't look for trouble."

Li Cheng continued, "But, old man, you don't want the World Tree to know about your mistakes, right?"

The incarnated old man: “???”

Li Cheng's words were extremely confident, and the old man's narrowed eyes slowly widened, and there was a lot more scrutiny in his eyes when he looked at him.

"How did you deduce that the World Tree could punish me?"

"Guess?" Li Cheng smiled.

He didn't guess it.

In fact, this is basically the game setting in the PC version.

The rules of the World Tree gave birth to the secret realm. The so-called incarnation is not the rules of the World Tree itself, but only a manager who can borrow power and is naturally subject to the constraints of the rules.

Although Quantum Technology has said before that this version of the secret realm is generated by AI technology, the appearance of the manager is different from that of the PC version.

But as long as this setting exists, it is absolutely impossible for the incarnated old man to disobey the rules of the World Tree.

"Oh, I really misjudged you. I know you are a smart person, but I didn't expect you to be so sharp." The incarnated old man sighed.

During the long river of time, although not many, the incarnated old man still established connections with several outstanding trial-takers.

Unfortunately, none of these trial-takers could figure out his relationship with the World Tree.

That’s right, although he is called the incarnation of the world tree, he is not the world tree itself, but only the incarnation of one of its roots.

His root is responsible for managing the secret realm of this destiny world.

The World Tree itself is immersed in a fantasy dream, recuperating and resting, and in the dream it is connected to countless different worlds and times, creating different secret realms.

If the trial-taker didn't care about something like today, it would be fine.

If the trial-taker complains at the final settlement, then he, as the manager, will still have to pay a heavy price.

"Tell me what compensation you want. I can agree to it within my duties."

The incarnated old man sighed and looked at Li Cheng with some disdain.

To be honest, he didn't want to give Chu Sheng Dong Xi any compensation at all.

You know, what the incarnated old man hates most is overtime.

And today, because of this Chusheng Dongxi and that psychopath Lani, he has already worked overtime.

Not only do I have to work overtime, but I also have to compensate this newborn Dongxi...

Doesn't this mean working at your own expense?

Li Cheng laughed when he saw the constipated expression of the old man.

The more uncomfortable this guy feels, the more it shows that Li Cheng did the right thing.

He thought for a moment and pointed at Rihanna: "Then the compensation I want is to wake up this girl and solve her problems."

Waking up Rihanna should be the last step in Regina's quest line.

Li Cheng wants to try and see if he can use the evil method to pass quickly.

But upon hearing this, the incarnated old man frowned, extremely surprised.

He never expected that the compensation Li Cheng wanted was this matter.

Are you willing to risk my wrath in order to save an innocent girl?

Although this kid was born a little bit awkward, he is really kind and gentle by nature.

"Alas, what a pity, Li Cheng." The incarnated old man shook his head: "I can't help you with this matter."

"Tsk, it's really useless." Li Cheng curled his lips.

"..." The incarnated old man was not angry, and continued: "Rihanna is a sealed door, and she bears the fate of being an eternally sleeping witch. If she wakes up, the world will suffer a catastrophe, so it is impossible for me to help you wake her up."

"The abyss is invading, but the Destiny World still has a chance of survival. However, if the world connected to Rihanna descends, this world will only be destroyed."

"I'm not helping you because of the world. This is my duty."

"So, forget it. Sacrificing one person to save the world is a highly cost-effective exchange."

"In fact, it was an unequal exchange."

It is indeed like this. Pushing players into a dilemma and making them struggle in the contradiction, the stronger the sense of immersion, the more painful it is.

The old flavor of this game is back.

Li Cheng sighed inwardly, but he doubted the possibility of this plot.

You should know that in the PC version, Liuli's fate is also unsolvable, and players can only choose between killing her and GAME OVER.

But in this version, Liuli can be redeemed.

Does that mean that Rihanna's fate can also be rewritten?
