Virtual World: The Legendary Thief

Murong Shanshan tightened the sword in her hand, and said calmly: "Kill him in an hour, and you can still make dinner sometimes."

I looked up at the black face hidden in the armor of the commander of the undead, and said with a wry smile: "Do you think your quasi-boss of 75 is so easy to handle? Let's talk about it if you survive."

At this time, a strange thing happened, as if he had seen a ghost.

When the commander-in-chief of the undead saw my face, he stopped the downward trend of the giant sword, and there was a strange sound in the armored body, which was like a helpless howl and an angry growl. There was an illusion that this undead commander had complicated emotions.

"Wait..." I stretched out my hand to stop Murong Shanshan, and let her forcefully take back the sword energy that was ready to be released.

"What's wrong," the little beauty was surprised.

I swallowed, and said in a deep voice, "Wait a minute, I think this boss is very different..."

The commander of the undead raised the giant sword high again, and the sharp giant sword was hanging above Murong Shanshan's and my heads. The feeling was almost suffocating.

"Huh~,"

The giant sword tore through the air and cut down at an extremely fast speed. Murong Shanshan let out a scream and closed her eyes. When she opened them again, she saw an absolutely unbelievable scene.

The giant sword of the commander of the undead pierced straight into his own chest, and large streams of blue blood gushed from the sword wound, and the long blood bar of the commander of the undead also "swiped" and almost fell to the bottom of his chest. the bare minimum.

"This...what the hell is going on," Murong Shanshan was so surprised that she could hardly speak.

"Boom~,"

The helmet of the commander of the undead rolled to the ground, and under the helmet was a distorted young face. Although it was eroded by the poison of the undead, it was still conceivable that he must have been a handsome young man before he became a undead.

I didn't know what to say for a while, I always felt that this person looked familiar, but I couldn't be sure where I had seen this NPC.

The commander of the undead slowly pulled out the giant sword, enduring the great pain and knelt down to us on one knee, blue blood continuously splashed down on the ground.

"Don't you remember me, infantry," the undead commander said, and blood began to ooze from the corner of his mouth: "You seem to have really forgotten, my time is running out, well, let me remind you, I It's Lin He, the lieutenant general of Da Ke, the leader of the Golden Knights, have you forgotten?"

I suddenly realized that it turned out to be the NPC Lieutenant Lin He who I completed the task in Hurricane City, but the key point is, how did Lin He fall to this point.

"Lin He, didn't you return to the Hurricane Kingdom with Dake and renew your allegiance to the Kingdom? Why did you appear here?"

Lin He coughed heavily, and suddenly said with a wry smile: "What is allegiance to the kingdom? Everything is just conspiracy and use. The old king just wanted the Golden Knights to defeat the undead army that invaded the Hurricane border. When driving the undead army out of the border of Hurricane City in one fell swoop, we received a new order from the king to go to the Undead Valley of the Silver Moon Alliance to destroy the undead forces here."

Lin He panted heavily, and continued: "The old king has known for a long time that there is a demon here that cannot be dealt with by manpower. On the one hand, he wants to claim credit for the alliance, and on the other hand, he wants to eradicate the Golden Cavalry in one fell swoop. The Lord’s army, so I sent the Golden Cavalry to exterminate the demons. As a result, none of the vanguard troops I led survived, including myself, who were all killed and summoned to become servants of the demons..."

I was very surprised and asked, "Why did you commit suicide just now?"

Lin He smiled bitterly: "Why, because I can no longer see the light of day again, I have no face to see my wife, my body has rotted beyond recognition, in order to purify my soul, I even tried the priest's holy punishment, It's a pity that their strength is too weak, and it can only make me feel a little pain. Dak has been put under house arrest by the old king because of his defeat, and my soldiers have been turned into skeletons. I once promised them to take them home , but I can't keep my promise,"

Lin He's aura became weaker and weaker, and the light of the giant sword seemed to be fading slowly with the passing of the owner's life.

"I know that the puppets outside must have been wiped out by you. In fact, they were all heroic fighters of the Hurricane Kingdom, but unfortunately they were bewildered by the magic of the undead and lost their minds..." Lin He looked up at Murong Shanshan and me , and suddenly said: "It's okay, I didn't mean to blame you, on the contrary, I would like to ask you to do me a favor,"

I immediately asked: "As long as it can be done, I will try my best to do it."

Lin He smiled slightly, and said with an air of gossamer: "The undead fire you have collected is actually a container that confines human souls. In order to make the soldiers more powerful, the servants of the demons use this container to put The souls of my subordinates are imprisoned and still stay on them, but these souls can only provide soul power for the body, but cannot control the body's actions, "

Seeing my puzzled expression, Lin He went on to say: "You know, the thing I've been looking forward to the most is to return to my motherland. I believe that my soldiers must think so too. I hope you can bring Their and my soul sparks return to the soul altar in Hurricane King City, where our sins and blasphemy will be redeemed..."

I turned around and didn't want to look at Lin He's painful face again. I suddenly felt a sore nose and almost didn't cry. Although Lin He is just a game stat, why am I different from him? All along, I am most looking forward to It is also to return to that warm home, I am willing to give everything in exchange for a word of appreciation from my parents, but in fact, I have made them sad again and again, whenever I think of my mother's sad eyes, I can't help but feel sad .

Lin He coughed a few times with blood on his face, and said softly: "Come on, with my strength, you will definitely get some rewards for killing me. Anyway, I'm almost completely dissipated in this space, so do it."

I turned around and looked silently at the protruding rocks on the wall. Murong Shanshan bit her lip and hesitated, but didn't move.

"Hehe, it seems that you still can't make a move. Forget it, I am willing to die under the holy judgment," Lin He's wry laugh came from behind. The so-called holy judgment should refer to the giant sword he held. right~.

Lin He's pupils began to dilate slowly, but the expression on his face was clearly smiling...

"I saw that Qiyun Mountain is full of red dragon wing flowers, and the birds are pecking at the delicious and juicy fresh strawberries. Everything is the same as in previous springs. Elena is picking my little Linyun. The wind bunch apples that just bear fruit in the garden, Elena is smiling, she is so beautiful, my little Lin Yun, don’t be naughty, dad is back, really back..."

Seeing Lin He's gradually froze smile, Murong Shanshan gently leaned on my shoulder, her beautiful eyes filled with tears.

I desperately held back my tears, and patted Murong Shanshan's petite shoulder: "Shanshan, don't cry, this is just a task in the game..."

Murong Shanshan shyly wiped away her tears, and said in a shy voice, "This damn programmer, why did he design such a plot to earn people's tears..."

Lin He's body gradually turned into sporadic milky white brilliance like a feather, and the small room was illuminated in an instant. The book on the desk opened the title page automatically without wind, and a hexagram star appeared on the page. It rose slowly, and those small dots of brilliance transformed from Linhe quickly converged on the hexagram on the page, until finally they were all absorbed by the hexagram, and the whole room began to darken again.

"Ding~,"

System prompt: Your team has triggered a hidden mission, [Black and White of Justice].

[Black and White of Justice]: Thanks to your kindness, Lin He's soul can safely enter the sealing circle in his handbook, please take this handbook to the soul altar in Hurricane City, where you can release Lin He's soul in the handbook, and use it The power of the soul leads the souls of many dead soldiers into the holy pool of purification.

...

Although Murong Shanshan's mood was relatively low, after all we triggered a hidden mission, so the sadness was naturally diluted a little.

I picked up the notebook and flipped through it, and it actually recorded Lin He's diary:

"In November 201 of the new calendar, I was appointed by Captain Dak as the vanguard to arrive at the Canyon of the Dead. It was gloomy here, and many cavalry fell down due to the poisonous gas in the forest. When we arrived at the Land of the Dead, we only saw fear and Death, we were completely defeated in that battle, the most elite cavalry in the kingdom were so vulnerable to those unconscious undead knives, and in that battle, I was injured, and the one who injured me was a man in a black robe Necromancers under you,"

"January 212 in the new calendar, two long months have passed, Dak's main force still hasn't arrived, and my subordinates are running out, so I can only rely on those dirty little animals in the Canyon of the Undead to survive , many people died from eating poisonous food, but I found a more terrible thing: the wound on my arm began to rot, and gradually lost the pain, when half of my body was infected and numb, I finally Understand what happened: I was about to be turned into a walking dead by the poison of the undead,"

"On February 4, 212 in the new calendar, the cold winter was about to pass, and I was the only one left in the entire vanguard brigade of more than 5,000 people. There were cavalry corpses almost everywhere in the entire valley, and some corpses were even dragged by horses. I ran on the jagged stone road until I was dragged to pieces. I think this is the last time I record the details of the vanguard. My body is almost no longer under my control. What's more terrible is that my will is also It is slowly disintegrating, and the consciousness seems to be being torn apart..."

"On February 17, 212 in the new calendar, I can almost breathe the smell of spring, but I know that this kind of time is running out. Very strange things happened in these two days. When I thought my soul was about to be darkened When devouring, the power of resisting darkness came from my holy judgment, this power is so familiar, it reminded me that this sword was blessed with holy power by the priests of the temple, "

"On February 24, 212 in the new calendar, the holy power of the divine judgment could only keep me awake for a short period of time, but during the other long and dark times I had no idea what I was doing, only when I was awake Only then did I realize that the lance was covered with blood, and the corpses of the human army were everywhere at the foot of the mountain, I thought, I have really become a member of the undead.”

...

The manuscript stopped halfway through writing, I think it was probably interrupted by our invasion, generally, now I understand what is going on, that is, Dak was betrayed by the king, and Lin He This lone army stayed in the terrifying canyon of the undead, while Lin He was transformed into a half-dead death knight, commanding the army of undead to conquer the human army in the small towns around Silvermoon City.

Perhaps, Lin He's life should be regarded as a tragedy. First, he betrayed the kingdom under the leadership of Dake and became a wandering army without a master. Then he was betrayed by the old king and became the minion of the undead, slaughtering his original allies. In order to purify himself Lin He also chose the most extreme suicide, but unfortunately his death was so insignificant, Dak didn't know, neither did the old king, let alone feel pity.

Since Lin He's death was a suicide, the system only defaulted that the experience was mine and Murong Shanshan's, but the equipment and money were nothing. Just like an older brother, it was with his help that I was able to successfully complete the task in the Pegasus Plain in Hurricane City, and this time, as a quasi-boss at level 75, he chose to self-destruct to let me pass the first heaven , I don't want to take what he exploded even in the game, although this idea is a bit pedantic.

Murong Shanshan stared at me blankly, until I cast my gaze on her, she turned her face away awkwardly, and said: "It's time to go offline for dinner, come back to continue the task after dinner."

I shook my head and said, "No, I still have some things to do after going offline, so I probably won't be going online tonight."

"What is so important," Murong Shanshan showed a puzzled expression.

I was surprised to find that I had missed the point, so I had to tell the truth: "Everyone will help Xin Yu celebrate her 22nd birthday tonight. I can't go if I don't go alone. If I don't go alone, they will go crazy."

Murong Shanshan smiled and said: "Well, where is the venue booked? If I go, will they welcome me?"

"You go," I looked at her suspiciously, and then said, "If you bring a birthday present, I don't think Xinyu will have any objections."

Murong Shanshan immediately beamed and said, "Okay, it's settled. I'll pick out birthday presents when I log off. It should be done within an hour. Where are you guys?"

"The VIP Room B on the second floor of the OO Hotel on XX Road is a banquet that starts at 6:30 p.m. There are only eight people in our studio for the time being. If you insist on coming, I will let them know in advance."

Murong Shanshan pursed her lips and smiled: "If I don't embarrass you, I will definitely go,"

"Probably not..."
