I'm a villain, not a devil

Looking at the nameless body on the ground that looked exactly like Sean, for some reason, several people felt a chill suddenly coming from behind.

"This... Did Sean trigger something?" Mr. Shui swallowed his saliva. Somehow, he always felt an uncomfortable feeling lingering in his heart.

Lao Niu took a step forward bravely. At this time, the flesh and blood on the ground had melted to only the last bit. Under his gaze, the last bit of flesh and blood suddenly jumped up, as if it came alive and jumped directly down to the immortal body at the bottom of the lake.

"Fuck, what is that?!"

With a cry of surprise, the remaining flesh and blood jumped onto the arm of the body, rushed to the nostrils in a few breaths, and then went straight in.

The body twitched abnormally.

The people who were surrounding him took a step back. The timid Li Zi hid behind them: "It's a bit scary... But, those pieces of meat left behind just now, are they Sean's? How did the body get into the bottom of the lake... Did Sean trigger some hidden task?"

Qiu Qingming frowned: "But, Master suddenly disappeared, as if he died directly... I don't know if he is in the rebirth point... I don't know why, I always feel something is wrong."

Dan Tart slapped him and said dissatisfiedly: "Don't scare people... Besides, this is just a game That's all. Could it be that Sean could be possessed by the task props in the game? Nonsense. "

Qiu Qingming glanced at everyone, and then said: "Then I will go back to check the rebirth point. If the master died directly, he should be resurrected there. You can stay here to look after this body. Anyway, I don't have this task. "

"Okay, then you go."

After Qiu Qingming walked away, the remaining few people looked at the body that was exactly the same as Sean. Although flesh and blood had drilled into it, after twitching a few times, nothing strange happened.

They were slightly relieved and checked the tasks on their respective panels.

"The task has been completed. Please bring the task props to the designated location to receive the reward."

The tasks of several people were the same. They looked at each other and looked at the body on the ground again.

"This is the only item for the mission. Do you have to take it with you?"

"What else? If you don't take it with you, you won't get the reward. However, this game is too real. It looks like a corpse and looks like Sean. It's creepy..."

"Okay, stop nagging and let's go."

"What should we do when Qingming and Sean come over later?"

"Sean should have a mission, right? Forget it, write a word on the ground here. Anyway, the designated location is not far ahead."

The group left the information and then carried the immortal body at the bottom of the lake to the next mission location.

There was no map on their system panel, but they knew how big the novice village could be.

Sure enough, after walking for a while according to the instructions, they saw their destination.

"The looming tree shadows and the black hole shaped like a chessboard, that's it, right?" shouted the leader, Mr. Shui.

In front of them, the shadow of a giant tree was looming, and there was a chessboard-shaped black hole on the ground below. Even from a distance, you could see something wriggling on the chessboard.

The group quickened their pace, but when they got closer, the people in front showed disgusted and disgusted expressions.

In the chessboard-shaped black hole, a lot of black nematodes were wriggling.

Egg tart retched: "So disgusting, like iron wire worms."

The old cow put down the body on his back and showed the same expression after looking over: "Really... Have you seen those documentaries about wild animals? Those bears who love to eat salmon have a lot of parasites in their bodies that can't be pulled out. Sometimes they will drill out from the back like this, dragging on the ground in a lot of piles."

"Indeed... Hey, it's still alive and has been wriggling all the time. No, I'm going to vomit." Li Zi walked to the side and retched.

The group didn't dare to look anymore, and after Li Zi retched, they couldn't help but walk to the side and hold the stone.

Everyone vomited together.

Lao Niu barely wiped his mouth and said weakly: "Oh my god, this game is too real... and why do we feel so disgusted when we see this? Ugh..."

Everyone found that they began to feel physically uncomfortable after seeing this thing, as if there were a bunch of parasites in their stomachs.

Suddenly, the two girls screamed again: "What is this?!"

The others looked over and saw that there were a lot of clumps of things similar to human hair in their vomit, and there were some broken leaves and other things around.

They lowered their heads and found that they were the same.

Everyone was the same, vomiting a lot of disgusting things.

"Is this game so disgusting..."

Before they finished complaining, the system panel suddenly updated again.

"The mission has been completed, please collect your rewards."

Then, they saw that in the chessboard-shaped black hole, the wriggling black nematodes fell out one by one and crawled towards them.

There was a black nematode in front of everyone, and everyone looked at each other.

"Such a disgusting thing, is it a reward?" Li Zi said in disbelief.

"Who knew..."

Suddenly, the sharp-eyed Egg Tart shouted: "Look, those nematodes avoided what we vomited."

Everyone looked over and saw that the nematodes all avoided the vomit, especially the hair balls and broken leaves, as if they were disgusted by the stuff.

Lao Niu said thoughtfully: "Do you remember that there was a game introduction when you entered the game, that this world has been invaded by unknown pollution for a long time, and everyone living here cannot escape the fate of being polluted... Hey, do you think that the things we vomited out are pollution, and although these nematodes are disgusting, they are actually the opposite of pollution, similar to, uh, purification worms?"

"Boss, your name is average..." Mr. Shui looked at the black nematodes. The strange thing is that after vomiting them out, the worms are no longer disgusting.

He scratched his head: "According to the development of the game, as the protagonists, it is normal for us to have such a process... But this thing looks more like a parasite, more like pollution..."

"Then, according to the task, this is our reward... touch it?"

The few people looked at each other, then encouraged each other and stretched out one of their hands.

As if it had finally been granted permission, the black nematode could not wait to raise its body, and then drilled into everyone's wrist.

The people who originally had different expressions suddenly stopped in their places, their expressions gradually became dull, and for some reason, a little man whose appearance could not be seen appeared in their pupils.

The gentle breeze that should have blown through the oasis, and a strong smell of decay spread.

The originally looming tree shadow began to solidify, and a hole opened in the center of the trunk. Rancid thick water overflowed from the edge, and then a black pigeon slowly walked out from it.

The pigeon's butt was dragged with a long black nematode, just like a bear that could not get rid of parasites.

The bird's beak slowly opened, and a sigh of satisfaction seemed to come out of its belly.

Then, a figure slowly walked out of the huge bird's beak, and he stretched out a shriveled and terrifying arm.

"Great..."

The long and satisfied mumbling echoed around, and the studio members who were "internal test players" raised their heads stiffly and looked at the pigeon and the figure devoutly.

"Mother, your resurrection... will always be like this... unchanged..."

In the distance, a piece of air fluctuated slightly, and the boy with a short haircut and broken eyebrows was watching all this calmly in a world of shadows.

...

"Sizzle——"

Countless colors flashed on a thick branch, but its outline always maintained a dull emerald green. The sound similar to electric current kept ringing in the ether layer, all because of the whipping of this branch.

Even if you don't experience it yourself, you can feel the terrible energy of the whipping of the branch just by watching, and even the surrounding ether layer was stirred into oil painting.

Sean lightly dodged a bombardment of energy, and the ether creature behind him that was unfortunately hit instantly turned into a green light spot and dissipated in the world.

Another energy bombardment came, and after dodging it again, Sean's eyes were a little strange.

If this branch was attacking him, he would probably be covered with wounds by now. Yes, even his extremely strong etheric body could hardly resist these attacks, especially since this was the etheric layer. Any injuries to the etheric body would cause great damage.

However, this attack was not aimed at Sean, he was just avoiding the aftermath.

In the center of the lush tree canopy, a huge tree branch was like a small square. In the air of the square, a huge pigeon was circling rapidly, and the branch was chasing and hitting the other party.

Sean had just climbed to the center of the tree canopy when he was attacked by the pigeon, and he was surprised to find that the shape of the pigeon was not much different from that of the Black Pigeon Prison, but the size was reduced several times.

Almost in an instant, Sean concluded that the pigeon was the subconscious of the Black Pigeon Prison in the etheric layer, but it was solidified into its current appearance by some kind of mental power.

Just as Sean was about to fight back, the branch stretched out from the center of the lush tree canopy and attacked the pigeon frantically.

The two of them, one fleeing and the other chasing, evolved into the current situation.

"Master Saint III, you are about to escape my control." Noah kept warning.

Sean just shook his head and looked directly opposite.

That was the deepest part of the tree canopy, and an area that was obviously different from the color of other tree trunks was hidden behind the leaves, like a gate.

"Strange, if this pigeon is the guard here, how could the body that should be guarded by it attack it..."

Sean tried to take a step forward, and the pigeon made a silent cry, and turned its wings to attack again.

But how could the branch that had been following behind let it go? The pigeon just turned its angle, and the branch whipped it hard. This time it was a real hit, and the energy fluctuations escaped wildly, and the pigeon's feathers scattered all over the sky, and then turned into various energy flows and merged into the entire etheric layer.

"This branch is really helping me..."

Sean frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and ran directly to the depths of the tree canopy.

The pigeon wanted to stop him again, but the branch immediately blocked Sean's head and kept hitting the pigeon.

Sean's speed became faster and faster. Finally, he ran to the depths of the tree canopy, and the abnormal area was right in front of him.

He turned his head and saw the pigeon staring at him unwillingly, but the branch was still chasing and whipping it.

Is it okay to be whipped like this...

Sean raised his eyebrows slightly, and then rushed into the area in front.

Suddenly, the strange feeling of weightlessness in the etheric layer disappeared instantly, and he stepped on the flat ground.

Sean looked up and saw that in front of him was the main control room of the shelter in reality.

On the sphere that symbolized the core of the shelter, countless branches stretched out, as if it was a seed, and now the plant in the seed has taken root and sprouted.

At the top, there are fruits growing out, and the fruits are so bright that people's eyes are a little painful.

It is the tree heart that Sean has absorbed two of!

Looking at this scene, Sean murmured: "Sure enough, the one that parasitizes the shelter system... is the World Tree."

Yes, the World Tree.

Sean has always wondered why his friends' memories were tampered with, remade into new consciousness, and then came to this world through the human cloning device.

More importantly, he should be the only one in this world who has those memories, how did they get "reproduced"?

Sean knew very well that those were not the friends he really knew, they were just tools and replicas.

However, the experience in the Mountain of Survivors reminded Sean.

It was not only him who had the consciousness of his friends, but also those contaminated special proliferations.

As the creator of the Mountain of Survivors, Qiu Qingming's residual will was finally regarded as an external gaze, which polluted the Mountain of Survivors and eventually formed a special proliferation, and some of Qiu Qingming's personal characteristics were also retained.

Since Qiu Qingming's will would be preserved in this way, what about others? What about other people who also created this world?

There is more than one special proliferation...

Originally, according to this line of thought, the person who caused all this might be the Ego Church, which has the most special proliferation, but Sean thought about it and it seemed that there was another existence that could react instinctively to the special proliferation of this world.

The World Tree is reviving.

In the history of the Empire, in the records of the Tree People, the World Tree is called the Mother, and is also called an omnipotent existence. She is connected to the deepest origin of this world and can sense all the energy changes in the world.

However, Sean still doesn't quite understand why the World Tree came up with all this... There are always all kinds of things that don't make sense here...

Sean walked over.

Then, the large screen that was closely integrated with the trunk suddenly flashed.

A line of words seemed to be struggling to get out, and finally, it succeeded.

"Welcome back."

"Father."
