I Persuade People With Reason

On the rooftop of the hospital, Xue Yang stood blankly.

At this time, the sun was at its brightest in the morning, the dust in the air was clearly illuminated, and the warm light fell on him, but he could not feel any warmth.

From the moment he received the medical records from the hospital, his life had plunged into a bottomless abyss. The last two months of life were nothing but futile struggles before the crash. Now, it's time to accept his fate!

A gust of wind blew through his large hospital gown, Xue Han suddenly felt a little cold, and he looked down. At a height of nearly 30 meters, if you fall from here, you will die very neatly, right?

... His parents died early, and his younger sister was still young. If he worked hard to live before and could still protect and support his younger sister, then now he is just a useless burden. Without his drag... My sister is so cute and cute, and the family he chose is also reasonable, and will definitely take good care of her so that she can live a happy life like other girls, right?

In this case, what does he have to worry about?

Xue Yang took a step forward and stood on the edge of the rooftop. The overly wide hospital gown was blown up by the wind. He was so thin that it seemed like he would be blown downstairs by a gust of wind at any time.

At this time, he was already standing on the edge of life and death.

"...Obviously it's already been arranged, why... am I? Or? Are you so unwilling?"

He kept this dangerous posture, looked down with deep eyes, and suddenly laughed at himself.

"Looks like I'm still afraid of dying..."

Perhaps the closer you are to death, the more you can see yourself clearly.

...Yeah, I'm afraid of death, I'm not willing to die like this... I? I still want to see my sister grow up, I? I want to do what I love in the future...

"—I? Don't want to die!"

He almost hysterically said this sentence, but Xue Yang's actions were quite different. He stepped out of the edge of the rooftop, leaned forward, and closed his eyes.

His body crashed down from the high building!

The moment he fell to the ground, Xue Yang only felt that all the bones in his body seemed to be shattered. The unimaginable pain only erupted for a moment, and his consciousness quickly dimmed, as if he was about to fall into a dead silence.

At the last moment of his death, his heart became more and more unwilling, and his desire to survive was almost magnified to the extreme. That was the instinct of every living being.

But not wanting to die is one thing, being able to do it is another. In this world, as long as there is a chance to live well, who would want to die?

This time, Xue Yang's luck was obviously good.

At the end of his consciousness about to be wiped out, an icy mechanical sound suddenly rang in his mind.

〖Would you like to sign a contract with the Lord of Yongning in exchange for a chance to start over? 〗

This voice seems to appear out of nowhere, and it seems to come from a very distant place, giving people the impression of being cold, mysterious, and unpredictable. It seemed that a light appeared in Xue Yang's consciousness that he was about to be wiped out and completely plunged into darkness.

Then, he discovered that it was not an illusion.

There really was a light in front of him!

This ray of light was hazy and bright, and it dispelled the dense fog around Xue Yang's body at once. He looked closely, and only then did he realize that he seemed to appear in a small space, with a faint mist floating in it.

In the thick fog, a puppet suddenly jumped out, with an exaggerated and comical smile on his face.

A hoarse voice came from it: "Boy, are you the lucky one selected by the Lord of Yongning this time?"

"Huh?" Xue Yang was confused, unable to understand the situation.

But he quickly remembered the voice he heard before, combined with years of experience in reading novels, he had a guess.

He lowered his head, his attitude very sincere.

"Yes, I? I just signed a contract with the Lord of Yongning. In fact, I don't know anything. You must know more than me. Can you tell me?"

Hiding on the other side of the thick fog, the "Puppet Master" who remotely controlled the puppets immediately nodded, complimenting the boy's sensible appearance, but with one hand he found a copy of the "Guide of the Guide" with difficulty, and then followed the script. read up.

It is very simple, Xue Yang has signed a contract with the Lord of Yongning, and got a chance to heal his body and prolong his life, on the condition that he completes the task of the Lord of Yongning.

The task time limit is currently permanent. In other words, to be a tool person for the Lord of Yongning for a lifetime, the benefit is an opportunity that is not completely certain.

Looking at Xue Yang's dazed expression for a while and then suddenly, "Puppet Master" was actually quite stunned.

After all, he passed away early in the morning. He was chased and put on the shelves. It was not because he was stuffed with a copy of the "Guide of the Guide", and he smiled and "encouraged" him to memorize it carefully, and then he was thrown into a folder. Behind the door? Closed, and he was quietly released from the "door" until a few minutes ago.

Until now, he couldn't come back to his senses.

Today, all that Xue Yang has seen actually comes from the double cooperation of "Puppet Master" and "Nightmare".

Yuan Buwei swallowed Nightmare's door, not only mastered the ability to teleport around in the inner world, but also possessed such an abolished portal, which Yuan Buwei transformed into a special "portable?" space".

The Nightmare and the Puppet Master have been locked behind this door? It was not until Xue Yang was selected that he released the two and let them start the performance according to the rehearsed script.

One is behind the scenes? Set, and the other is in charge.

"...That's about it. In addition, in the future, the quests released by the Lord of Yongning will be posted online. If you don't want others to discover that you have disappeared for no reason, you'd better choose a time when no one notices."

After the "puppet master" finished his lectures, he suddenly heard that it was not a message, and quickly manipulated the puppet to add:

"Of course, you are not actually a full member now. Tonight, there will be a trial to determine whether you can pass the selection of the Lord of Eternal Peace. If you can't pass, you will still be you."

The last word was still echoing in his mind, Xue Yang suddenly opened his eyes, the cold wind blew across his face, and he saw the crowd gradually clamoring under his feet, and it seemed that someone was waving below, shouting to him not to jump off the building...

It turned out that he was still standing on the edge of the rooftop.

Xue Yang was in a trance for a moment, almost thinking that he was just dreaming, but everything was so clear that he could see it.

In some sense, he said, he was indeed dreaming. From the point of view of the crowd downstairs, from the time Xue Yang walked to the edge, he stood there for a few minutes.

As for falling from a building, seeing a puppet, signing a contract with the Lord of Yongning, etc., it was all the activation of the "Nightmare" ability, which dragged him and the "Puppet Master" into the dream together.

When Xue Yang was still in a trance, some enthusiastic people ran up to the roof and pulled him off the edge of the dangerous roof. Xue Yang did not resist, and returned to his ward with the enthusiastic crowd. .

"Young man, why do you want to die at such a young age? Even if it's an intractable disease, you can't give up your life like this..." Probably Xue Yang's actions really stimulated the hospital, and when he was sent back to the ward, he would be rushed Several doctors and nurses who came were busy worrying about other patients, and they did not forget to leave one to watch him.

The clinical uncle in the ward has already started talking.

Xue Yang had to laugh bitterly and lie down on the bed obediently.

"...Is everything that happened just now a dream?" He was a little absent-minded, still thinking to himself, "No, it shouldn't be a dream, so real, how could it be a dream?"

Thinking that he had a chance to live, Xue Yang's heartbeat couldn't help speeding up, and thinking about the trial that the guide said, he couldn't help clenching his fists under the quilt.

"Tonight's trial, I? Must pass!"

·

The so-called trial refers to the implantation of distorted seeds to see if an awakened person can be created. If everything is successful, you will gain a tool person who sells himself for life; if you fail, you will naturally go back to your own place, and everything will be business as usual.

According to the original plan, I wanted to enter the ward to choose a target, so naturally I can implant the seeds of distortion into the other party as soon as the contract is reached.

However, he chose Xue Yang temporarily.

Compared with those patients who were lying in the ward and whose Twisted Seeds could be implanted quietly, Xue Yang was standing on the rooftop, under the attention of all the people. Determine what happens. In case of sudden coma, or some more strange phenomenon, it will be very inconvenient.

Therefore, he asked the puppet master to choose the time at night.

This day was extremely difficult for Xue Yang.

A group of doctors and nurses were deeply afraid that he would not be able to think about his shortcoming again, and that someone would always be by his side. Xue Yang simply went through the discharge procedures. Anyway, he did not expect the hospital to treat his terminal illness, but he continued to stay here. There must be some A lot of inconvenience?

When he returned home after completing the formalities, just after opening the door, a seven- or eight-year-old girl rushed out and hugged his thigh at once.

"Brother, are you back?"

Xue Yang was taken aback. Before he was hospitalized, he had specially arranged where his sister would go, and asked her to a family who liked her daughter very much but never gave birth. Although the two parties had not spoken clearly, they had reached a tacit agreement. tacit agreement.

What I didn't expect was that my sister would wait for him at home. Is it the family right? She is not good?

He just opened his mouth to ask, and the little girl was already tearful: "Are they right? I'm not good, but that's not my home, brother, don't you want me?"

Xue Yang was speechless all of a sudden.

He sighed and wiped the little girl's tears: "brother why don't you want you, don't cry. In the future? We'll be at our own house, the same as before."

The little girl suddenly burst into laughter, her eyes curved into crescents.

Xue Yang's expression was a little complicated. He realized that what he thought was a good choice before may not be the case.

Even in order to take good care of his sister, he must pass the trial of the Lord of Yongning!

That night, after finally coaxing his sister to sleep, he lay on the bed and, according to what the guide said, called the Lord of Yongning with a strong mind—

Then, after that, there is no such thing as then.

In the haze, he seemed to see a bright white light, and then the whole person became groggy and unconscious.

In the drowsiness, he seemed to have had a nightmare, feeling endless malice and despair, but after waking up, apart from a trace of fear, he had no memory.

In front of me is the familiar space. A light mist blends with a soft white light.

Xue Yang stood there blankly. The puppet with a funny smile suddenly jumped out:

"Congratulations, you have passed the trial and officially become a tasker under the Lord of Yongning."

The space that Xue Yang saw in the daytime was only in the dream woven by the "nightmare", but now this space is real - it was not used at all? After the door obtained from the nightmare was deduced from this space? , and now it has finally come in handy, and it has become the base camp for missionaries.

Xue Yang was very surprised: "Really?"

"Of course? It's true!" The puppet said in a confident tone, "Now, keep your mind down..." He guided Xue Yang according to the original instructions, and sensed the distortion implanted in his body. The seed, "...and then, you can sense a distorted seed that is not true or false. This is the key given to you by the Lord of Yongning..."

Under the guidance of the puppet, Xue Yang quickly mastered a very simple trick of condensing his mind, and quietly stimulated the distorted seed. Then, he opened his eyes.

An illusory door slowly formed in front of him, hovering about half a meter above the ground.

In the space intertwined with white light and mist, this seemingly virtual door exudes a mysterious and unusual atmosphere.

"Open this door and you can enter the inner world."

The "Puppet Master" looked at this scene, and couldn't help but secretly agree with him. He couldn't help but admire it.

First create the awakened people, and then let them open the door directly in this space, and fix the "door" of the tasker here. It is conceivable that there will be more and more "doors" fixed here in the future. From now on, all mission personnel must pass through this mission hall when entering and leaving the inner world, so everyone will be in control.

He spoke with a certain excitement of witnessing history:

"...I've already told you what I should tell you. When you enter the inner world, you will have the opportunity to obtain the adventure of healing your body. Of course, don't forget the mission of the Lord of Yongning!"

Yuan Buwei, who was secretly manipulating everything, watched Xue Yang's figure disappear into the door with great satisfaction.

"...The Twisted Seed experiment was successful. The Artificial Awakened Project is here to stay!"

Soon, he will harvest a large number of tool people.

Thinking of the py transaction with Tiandao before entering this world, why would it be inconvenient? I have a plan and feel that I am a reliable collaborator.

"... How troublesome is it for one person to work hard to save the world, I? I can directly cultivate a group of saviors!"

"...I just hope Tiandao won't be moved? It's broken."
