Abnormal paradise

"It is your own fault and you shall not live."

Ms. Shadow looked at Fengqin, who was like a puppet, with disgust in her eyes. The predicament she experienced was entirely caused by him. The year-long confinement still made her often fearful, for fear of returning to the leech mother. In my brain, I am once again accompanied by suffering and loneliness.

Seeing Fengqin in trouble at this moment, Ms. Shadow felt so happy that it was hard to describe. She was eager to express her endless thoughts, but she still maintained her last reserve, so she had no choice but to tell the story to the nearby ember.

"Did you know? The last person chosen as a sacrifice was Fengqin's grandmother. Her talent and growth were exactly the same as Nina's. She awakened maple blood on her own when she was young. Even if she was not selected as the Fire Flame Shadow, she will definitely become the future leader. At least at that time, Fengqin's grandmother was regarded as the hope for the family's revival, rather than a sacrifice, because all the information pointed to the arrival of the eldest daughter of the sun at that time. "

Hearing this, Yi Yan immediately thought of the "Puzzle of Reincarnation" that Ms. Shadow deliberately mentioned. According to his understanding, if the "end of the world" means deleting a document called "Effective Information", then the "Puzzle of Reincarnation" is Several of the files were recovered from the recycle bin, but it seems that the limited information revealed by these files has not had a positive effect in preventing the end of the world. Otherwise, the thousand-year entanglement between the Mapleblood family and the Sun Empire will not be the same. It will be a mess.

Ms. Shadow didn't care whether Ember was listening or not, and continued to talk to herself: "Every clan member hopes that Grandma Fengqin will lead the family, and does not want to be sent by the eldest daughter of the Sun. For this reason, they did not hesitate to spend a lot of money and purchased one from the foundation. This [Elixir], which is valid for three years, is just to keep Grandma Fengqin’s life information at fifteen years old, because fifteen years old is the upper limit of the life span of the sacrifice in the coffin.”

Fifteen?

I see!

Ember raised his eyebrows, and Ms. Shadow's introduction answered an unimportant question for him.

During the killing of the isolated island, he once obtained a genealogy of the Mapleblood family, in which the name "Fengqin" was included. And the life record of Fengqin ended at the age of eighteen. So according to Ms. Shadow's description, Fengqin was When he reached adulthood, he drank the secret blood medicine and sealed it in a sarcophagus, waiting for the arrival of the eldest daughter of the sun. No wonder there is no follow-up record.

"Like all sacrifices, Grandma Fengqin waited in the sarcophagus for ten years, but she never waited for the eldest daughter of the sun..."

Speaking of this, Ms. Shadow sighed sadly. She did not want to hypocritically comment that hateful people must be pitiful. She was just glad that she did not follow in the footsteps of her predecessors.

"But unlike those sacrifices, Grandma Fengqin has the qualifications and strength to rebel against the family. She was already a legendary powerhouse before entering the sarcophagus. She had been sealed in the coffin for ten years to enjoy the effects of the secret medicine. After she came out of the coffin, she was with the sixth-level There is only a thin line between the shackles. You must know that the entire Maple Blood Family and even the three major organizations do not have many sixth-level strong men, so Grandma Fengqin has obtained what other sacrifices cannot obtain - freedom."

Ms. Shadow emphasized the word "freedom". It was precisely because she had lost freedom that she could deeply understand how important freedom is.

"Not only did Grandma Fengqin not have to join the family monastery and devote the rest of her life, she was immediately entrusted with important tasks by the then patriarch, just to dispel Grandma Fengqin's resentment." Ms. Shadow paused slightly, "There is a secret, you can know it now Now, any woman who becomes a sacrifice, no matter how outstanding her own cultivation is, will be affected by the secret blood medicine and the maple blood sarcophagus. Her temperament will change drastically and she will commit suicide frequently. Joining the family monastery to receive discipline and restraint will be conducive to self-cultivation and help them. Back to normal."

"However, the failure of the sacrifice deeply affected Grandma Fengqin. With her lofty ideals, she had always dreamed of rebuilding the Sun Empire with her own hands instead of leading the small Mapleblood family. Therefore, she pretended to promise to paralyze the patriarch, but waited for an opportunity to escape. Surveillance broke into the family and destroyed the Maple Blood Sarcophagus before leaving, so that future generations would lose the possibility of becoming the Shadow of Fire."

"Tsk, that's a bit cruel."

Ember bared his teeth, saying that a madman can do anything, but this matter is obviously not the end, otherwise the Shadow Lady would not be able to become the Shadow Lady, and Fengqin should not return to the Mapleblood Family.

"What Grandma Fengqin did made the whole family angry. Because of Walter White, everyone placed their hope on the eldest daughter of the Sun to use the great fire to purify the Maple Blood. But without the Maple Blood Sarcophagus, the Maple Blood Family would also be in trouble. The reason for losing the ability to control the eldest daughter of the Sun is that the founder of the family once made an oath with King Xin under the witness of [The Sun], and the two parties agreed that the relationship was only a cooperative relationship, so the Shadow of Xinhuo came into being, and its meaning is not only to assist the Sun The eldest daughter also has the interests of maintaining the Mapleblood family."

Ms. Shadow slowly shook her head: "The Shadow of Fire cannot be born, and the Maple Blood Family cannot control the eldest daughter of the sun. If they want to solve the bloodline problem, they can only be completely loyal to the eldest daughter of the sun, but this has never been the outcome that the family hopes for. . Helpless, it was a foregone conclusion that the sarcophagus was destroyed, and the clan elders tried their best to capture Fengqin's grandmother. Then I heard about Fengqin's grandmother again. It was several years later that she was hired as an associate professor by the university, and her main course was " Modern Interpretation of Ancient Magic Based on the Three Laws of Thaumaturgy" and "The Theory of Blood."

In order for Ember to understand, Ms. Shadow also specially used shadows to outline the appearance of two books. "Modern Interpretation of Ancient Magic Based on the Three Laws of Thaumaturgy" is as thick as a decimeter, and "Theory of Bloodline" is even thicker than the former.

"The family once asked the university to arrest Fengqin's grandmother, but the president of the university personally came forward to force the matter to be suppressed. As a seventh-level powerhouse that is extremely rare in the six planes, the president of the university naturally has this strength. The clan elder has no other choice. We thought that sooner or later the Mapleblood family would be destroyed because of Walter White's awakening, but it was Grandma Fengqin who was condemned as the sinner of the family, who brought unexpected good news."

"With the permission of the university president, she rummaged through the university's collection of books and finally deduced the materials used to make the maple blood sarcophagus."

Lady Shadow suddenly paused, causing Ember to ask, "What is it?"

"You have seen it." The shadow lady looked calm, and her bright eyes under the black veil looked at Fengqin who was controlled by the clown again.

"I have seen?"

Yi Yan was puzzled. He had only met the Shadow Lady for a few days, so how could he have seen the so-called manufacturing materials?

etc!

A sudden flash of inspiration reminded Yi Yan of a certain penetrating scene in the moist darkness.

"You can't mean..." Ember pointed at the black dress of the shadow lady.

"Yes, the material for making the Maple Blood Sarcophagus is the rarest leech-shaped shadow-eating insect!"

really!

Ms. Shadow's answer made Ember nod heavily. The first legendary BOSS that the players encountered was the Mother Leech that guarded the Killing Island. A large group of them smashed many precious props but failed to kill it. , but was "inspired" by the shadow lady into a suit of clothes.

"The shadow-eating bug is extremely widely distributed. It can be said that wherever there is darkness, it can be found. The research on the shadow-eating bug has never stopped. However, every discovery will lead to countless questions. Why is it the leech? Even Grandma Fengqin cannot determine the specific reason why the Insect Mother can become the Maple Blood Sarcophagus, but this does not prevent the next bloodline sacrifice from being held as scheduled." Ms. Shadow withdrew her gaze and looked at the embers.

"The moment I became the Shadow of Fire, I learned many unknown secrets through the Dark Curtain, including the fact that the Chaos Apostle took the initiative to inform Grandma Fengqin of the appearance time of the eldest daughter of the Sun, and also your appearance. .”

"Us?" Ember pointed to his nose and said to himself, "Could it be that you are talking about the players?"

"Yes, it's you, the 'fire seeds' created by the three major organizations! In the incomplete information retained by the mystery of reincarnation, you have never appeared. Then, you appeared. I think the three major organizations are I hope that through you, we can add variables to this world so that we can find hope in the chaos, but now it seems..."

Ms. Shadow looked at the frantically fighting players and shook her head slightly: "The ideas of the three major organizations are too idealistic. Recruiting members without selection may accelerate the destruction of the world, maybe! I saw those Chaos Apostles. Really? Their arrival is not only because of Walter White, but also because of the traitors among you Fire Seeds."

betray?

Ember, who became more and more sensitive to this word, immediately thought of his character label "continuous apostate". He couldn't help but wonder, if Chaos Beacon wanted to bribe him, how many chips could it offer?

At the same time, Ember also realized that some players had already embarked on a completely different path, but they just didn’t know how far they had grown now.

"The reason why I say this is to remind you to be vigilant against the Chaos Apostles. You have also seen the consequences of seeking skin from a tiger. Even if Grandma Fengqin is a sixth-level powerhouse, she will be reduced to a puppet in the hands of others at this moment. ?" Ms. Shadow recalled how a year ago, she was forced by Fengqin to take the initiative to walk into the leech's mouth, so that she could not even retain her original appearance. Fortunately, she realized the importance of fire seeds in time, and After successfully grasping the life-saving straw of Ember, the situation of both parties was completely reversed.

"Um...ma'am, are we really just here to watch the fun?"

Ember couldn't help but ask the question he had been holding back for a long time, and Lady Shadow's answer left him speechless.

"Otherwise, what else are you going to do? Charge in and fight? Although I am a legend, I am not outstanding compared to those people. Besides, I am not a fighting genius. Do you want me to charge in and die?"

"..."

"What's that look in your eyes? Do you think you have no future if you follow me?"

"no……"

"I hope you are telling the truth!"

Ms. Shadow snorted: "To tell you the truth, the eldest daughter of the sun has already revealed to the three major organizations that I want to break through the legend and anger Walter White. Otherwise, why do you think that ship has been docked on the isolated island? Coast? Nominally, the three major organizations are to train new people, but in fact they are to guard against the Chaos Apostles, because the three major organizations have long suspected that some Chaos Apostles have not left the island, but are hiding on the island with the help of the Maple Blood Family. Somewhere is an unknown place, which is the base camp of the Mapleblood family! Walter White is angered, and the family secret land will inevitably become chaotic. Even if they don't take the initiative to show up, with the extraordinary power of the three major organizations, they can still find a way. !”

"I see!"

After hearing this explanation, Yi Jin understood that Ms. Shadow deliberately angered Walter White. It turned out that there was this reason. Then he was suddenly stunned: "Madam, you seem to be seeking skin from a tiger! The family secret place was found by three major organizations. Aren’t you afraid that they will take over your lair?”

In an instant, Lady Shadow's cold gaze made Yi Yan feel uncomfortable all over.

"Do you think I have any other choice?"

"It seems not..." Yi Yan also found that his question was a bit stupid.

"There is one thing you must understand. I have not been a core member of the Mapleblood family since I was born. Because Grandma Fengqin wanted to completely control me and use my hand to control the eldest daughter of the sun, so I even I didn’t know how to enter the family’s secret place. In fact, it wasn’t until I became the Shadow of Fire that I learned that the family had a secret camp that no one knew about.”

Ms. Shadow's eyes softened, and she glanced at Ember angrily: "Therefore, I took the initiative to join forces with the three major organizations. Not only can I learn about the secret passage, but I can also attack the forces of Maple Blood Grandmother, and at the same time clean up the Chaos Apostles, and restore peace as soon as possible. Walter White’s influence, this plan that kills four birds with one stone, don’t you want to say something?”

"Awesome! It's really awesome!" Yi Jin did not hesitate to send compliments and flatter his new boss, which would help improve the relationship.

Hearing this, Ms. Shadow really laughed with satisfaction. She glanced at the chaotic battlefield, and her original intention to watch the excitement turned into a three-minute passion: "It's boring, you moved too fast, so fast that everyone couldn't catch it. Unexpectedly, the Chaos Apostles were not prepared at all, so even though Fengqin's grandmother was in jail at this time, in fact, the white-faced clown did not dare to hurt her life, otherwise the other forces guarding the island would take action without any scruples. These Chaos Apostles The most it can do is cause some more damage, but it won’t be enough to cause trouble!”

"That's not bad. The white-faced clown has made up his mind to kidnap Grandma Fengqin to satisfy his destructive nature, but it will delay it for a long time, which is convenient for my next actions. Do you want to come and have a look? This is a rare opportunity!" Shadow The lady suddenly said to Ember, "If you hadn't helped me escape from the cage, I wouldn't have bothered to talk to you so much. I have said more today than in the previous half month combined."

"sure!"

Ember agreed: "But, can you wait for me for a few minutes? The foundation has issued a small task, and I have to complete it early."

"Then hurry up."

"OK!"

After saying that, Ember ran away in a flash.

Since there is a "treasure house" nearby, there are many players gathered here even if it is close to the core battlefield. After a quick glance, Ember found no notable names. After all, top players are always in the minority, and even on the "real island" there are not many. , both sides of the battle are mostly new players. It is considered good to reach level 13 or 4, and some people have not even passed the advanced trial.

Seeing this, Yi Yan would like to thank the three major organizations for deliberately restraining the nine of them and giving up the idea of ​​killing people early. Facing those new players who didn't even have the equipment, Yi Yan really couldn't arouse much interest in the battle. So, he randomly picked a place with many red names, and first killed one of them instantly with the double damage of the eight-spider spear, and then used the soft slingshot to knock away many people.

Facing a group of red names with residual blood, he didn't even need to use his incarnation skills and insect head heavy shield. The active software biochemical arm rose and fell a few times, and he easily achieved the killing requirement. In the end, someone discovered the identity of Ember and struggled with a group of red names. Players planned to surround him here, but the huge gap between the two sides made their control skills unable to work at all. Ember easily broke through the encirclement by simply launching a charge and returned to the shadow lady.

"Madam, it's time to go." Yu Jin calculated the time and estimated that he was not much slower than Qiu Yinong. Although his basic attack damage was not as good as that of his opponent, a large number of new players did not even have three-digit health, and Basically, they have so much remaining health that they will die at the first touch.

Lady Shadow saw Ember's movements and did not comment. Instead, she said softly: "I will take you to see the real White House."
