When Wu Ming found Ilúvatar, the scorched earth around her was burned for at least several kilometers. Everything was burned to ashes, and she was in a daze in the center of the ashes, looking at the things in front of her.

of an oak staff.

This oak staff looked very ordinary, with no gorgeous decorations and no aura. But when Wu Ming saw the staff, he immediately felt a steady flow of life.

As if that staff was the source of life.

"Don't go get it!" Wu Ming saw this scene and immediately shouted anxiously.

Ilúvatar turned back to look at Wu Ming, she smiled miserably and said: "Of course I won't take it. Nothing in this world comes out of thin air. There must always be a support. Just killing these monsters counts.

How is it possible that you can get the Staff of Life by using something you don't have?"

Wu Ming breathed a sigh of relief, and walked to Ilúvatar's side. Ilúvatar looked at the huge ice cube in his hand, and looked at Olanli with only half of his body inside, and she sighed.

: "But all of this is so tempting. Unless you are determined, no one will want to try it. It is a way to easily gain power... You know, Mr. Wu Ming, this staff of life is not only an artifact, but also a magical weapon."

It has great historical significance to our elves."

"When our elves were still very weak, our ancestors possessed legendary power due to certain experiences and adventures. At that time, out of sympathy and for some unknown reasons, the tree people used the power of the mother tree of life to

I made this staff for Zu out of a branch. This staff saved a lot of fellow elves and saved Zu from several crises. Then when the mother tree of the elves was burned down, Zu also lost this staff.

Staff, since then, although we elves have tried our best to repair the rift with the tree people, the tree people still regard us as traitors, but they have never mentioned what happened specifically, and Zu has never mentioned it."

"If I can bring this staff back, it will surely make up for the regrets of our elves, at least part of them..."

"Unfortunately, this is false after all. If I take it, I will probably mutate like Mr. O'Lanley, right?"

Wu Ming nodded and said: "It is very possible, and even something scarier than the mutation may happen. In short, let's leave first, and we will discuss the details we have collected when we go back."

Ilúvatar nodded, looked at the staff reluctantly, then decisively turned around and left with Wu Ming and others.

When they returned to the hotel in the original city, they saw Amor lying on the sofa sleeping. Wu Ming suddenly burst into anger, grabbed Amor and said: "Hey, we are in danger outside, you just

Sleeping here!?"

Amor rubbed his eyes and said, "Oh, I'm back."

"Return!?"

Amor patted Wu Ming's arm and said at the same time: "The world is so boring, what else can we do if we don't sleep?"

After hearing this, Wu Ming put down Amor and asked, "Have you analyzed the situation in this world?"

"What if?"

Amor yawned and lay lazily on the sofa, lying next to Ge You. He said slowly: "This world is actually not complicated. It can even be described as simple. Combined with the information you have obtained,

Look, this whole world is a divided world of various survival games."

"Each city is a different game world, and each city is constantly cycling through destruction and rebirth. By the way, I want to show you something interesting. I found it through the image you passed back."

Amor turned on the computer and entered things into it skillfully. Then he opened a black and white web page and searched for a while. Then Wu Ming saw some personal profile photos, including photos of five people.

What impressed him deeply was the photo of two men and three women.

"High school students...high school students in this city, do you understand? Then I checked a few other cities that were relatively safe and found that they also exist. They are in every city. To be more precise, every city has them.

The people in the city are all the same, except that the cities are slightly different, but the people in the city are all the same. They don't listen to birth and death, but they themselves are unaware of it, and they just keep living in this endless state between life and death.

Just stop wandering."

Wu Ming watched silently, and then said after a while: "Meme?"

"Sure, meme."

Amor nodded in affirmation and said at the same time: "It must be a meme, but there are several key points in it. One is that the scope of this meme is probably horror games, and the other is the enhancement of experience points.

, the specific extent is unknown, but experience points can undoubtedly strengthen many things, which is somewhat similar... However, once experience points are strengthened, they may transform into monsters, and at the same time, they may not be able to leave the city where they are, that is, leave the game.

Within the range, in other words, it will become an NPC in this game."

Wu Ming and others nodded. These are all things they have tested. Wu Ming asked: "Then what should we do next? Search for the newly appeared and destroyed cities?"

"No need."

Amor shook his head and said: "Although I haven't found the destroyed city yet, I think the scene should disappear directly, just like if you take the NPC out of the game, the result will be that they no longer exist, and the game

The location should also be the same. This is probably because the city has been destroyed. As for the city that has just appeared, I personally think it doesn’t make much sense to just paste and copy it and then inject different horrors.”

At this time, Ilúvatar couldn't help but ask: "This... human child, what do you think we should do next?"

Amor looked at Ilúvatar deeply, then turned to Wu Ming and said: "There are two possibilities at present. The first is to try to prevent the disaster, revive a city, and save it from the most critical crisis.

, after all, if it is a game, there must be an option to clear the level, and this is one of the attempts."

Everyone nodded, and Amor continued: "But this is not just a game, it also includes a memetic effect, which means that even if you prevent a disaster, the result may be the disappearance of the entire city.

This may or may not make sense, since memes themselves are illogical anomalies.”

"As for the second way to try, that is to become an NPC."

"ha?"

Everyone was surprised, and Wu Ming said: "Becoming an NPC? Then wouldn't we fall into a shell? If you want to kill us, you can kill us, then we..."

"wrong."

Amor directly denied: "Perhaps this is true for ordinary people, ordinary people, and even this half-body Argonian uncle, but there are exceptions, and that is the strength of the strength itself."

"Power is power, person is person, and attribute is attribute. I think you should be very clear about this, Brother Wu Ming. For example, the attribute of electricity. This electricity is the thunder and lightning of the supreme god, but its voltage is only 1 volt.

, can this kill you?"

"I don't know about others, but Brother Wu Ming, I think you can do it. You have enough strength, enough control, and the blessing of the Lord God. All of these combined will make it difficult for you to become a monster, and even if I want to kill you, it will probably be difficult."

It’s extremely difficult to do, and of course, it’s definitely dangerous, so you need to make your own decision.”

"Becoming an NPC, to trigger new changes and prevent the disaster in the city, and then look at the results. This is actually the stupidest way to eliminate all possibilities. No matter how unbelievable the last impossibility is, it is

It must be the final answer."

Amor pointed outside and said: "This is all my analysis. Okay, take me home. I still want to sleep in."
