Chapter 109 Sin-Eating
The atmosphere in the alley was a bit depressing.
"Yes..."
After a long time, the girl finally nodded slightly and replied in a low voice: "So your talent should be ineffective against players."
Yes, Ji Xiaodao has never been controlled by Mo. When she was ordered to commit suicide by Mo not long ago, all her actions were out of her own will and had nothing to do with her talent [original sin]. relation.
Of course, if Mo hadn't stopped her, that sword would have definitely penetrated Ji Xiaodao's own heart, ending her gaming career as the 'Dark Elf Silent Prayer', and after that, she would have been killed when establishing her next character. Assigned to a camp that really suits me, and then reunited with my sister, after experiencing a lot, I opened my heart and gradually Take off her cold shell and become more like a normal person...
She will take adventures with her partners, create some messy epics, and win in a huge war in the future, and finally Slowly leave this game, find a boyfriend that suits you, get married, have children, and live a happy life.
However, this is just a hypothesis after all. Although the above content may really happen under certain circumstances, the reality ultimately prevents her from having a different life.
Coincidentally, she met Mo. Coincidentally, she was not killed immediately. Coincidentally, she guessed the effect of [Original Sin]. Coincidentally, she bet that the other party might She would stop herself from 'forced suicide', and coincidentally, she made the right bet.
What a coincidence...
I’m not going to say something like ‘life is often more dramatic than fiction’.
Because we all know, at least at this moment, these are just stories told by someone, so there is no need to be too pretentious.
But this does not mean that we can completely overthrow the so-called 'fate' and 'variables' and believe that everything exists as a 'given'.
Just like Schrödinger's half-dead cat, no one knows whether we truly control our own destiny, and no one knows whether 'coincidence' is really a coincidence, and whether 'fate' is really fate. Is 'miracle' really a miracle, and whether 'destiny' is really destiny.
Since everything is unknown, then as long as you think that the possibility of everything is not zero, I think everyone can be more sympathetic to the various coincidences in the 'story' or 'work'.
That's enough.
Of course, by making such remarks, I definitely do not agree that 'wrestling is doomed to amnesia', 'heroes are doomed to save beauties', 'mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are doomed to tear apart', 'love can cure cancer', 'enemies live next door', Many works such as "Brainless Traveling in the Business World" are just nonsense.
After all, the mindless fabrications that claim to be artistic exaggerations are really hard to look at. At least from a personal point of view, the second generation of rich people can always meet Cinderella and there is always such a powerful elder who tries to arrange a marriage. The probability of occurrence... is really not very high...
Not to mention those 'stories' where the narrators don't even understand the most basic business knowledge, so they are casually fabricated.
Actually, what I want to say is that everyone may have a variety of lives, and they also have unlimited possibilities...
This is true even if it is just a character in the story.
"Are you planning to kill me?" After Ji Xiaodao finished speaking, she felt a lot more relaxed. When she saw that Mo didn't speak, she actually took the initiative and said, "You have enough reasons to do this now. ”
In her impression, the man in front of her would never mind Killing herself, but the girl has no reason to think that the other party will not do it...
Although it feels difficult to get close, although she always wants to escape, although she is occasionally afraid, although she often feels dissatisfied, angry, Feeling wronged and scared, Ji Xiaodao still refused to leave.
Then does the other party also have a little bit of such thoughts in addition to that 'as it should be'?
A slightly more emotional thought...
Even if it is just a little bit of insignificant resonance, he should have some, right?
However...
"Killing you will not do me any good, not to mention many things are not suitable to be left to NPCs." Mo gave an absolutely rational answer : "Your value has nothing to do with whether original sin is in effect, and I'm not interested in your thoughts... As long as I can get accurate and honest answers, I don't mind your original intentions and thought process."
Ji Xiaodao He showed a rare weak expression and shrugged.
"What's more, it is illogical to control the minds of other humans in a spiritual virtual device." Mo Huitou showed a faint smile to Ji Xiaodao: "Do you think I really haven't doubted it?"
The girl rolled her eyes which was completely inconsistent with her character: "Then why didn't you confirm with me earlier?"
"Because there are indeed some illogical things in this world." Mo. said softly.
He thought of the little girl he saw in reality before, and many other similar incidents. Many of those supernatural or weird things actually existed, and they were illogical. But it is still a fact without any room for refutation.
And in his eyes, the game itself is strange enough...
However, this does not hinder his pace too much. By using [Original Sin] on Cordoba and the confirmation from Ji Xiaodao just now, Mo has been able to confirm that this talent of his cannot take effect on players, but it is not that it cannot affect the 'talisman'. Cultural Creation' takes effect, this information is still very important.
Then, the rest is...
"You stay away a little bit, I'm going to give it a try." Mo turned around and told Ji Xiaodao, and then slowly spread his hands. , feeling the land beneath your feet.
This land was buried in the abyss of sin by his own hands.
Banser City has turned into a cursed place. This statement is actually not rigorous.
Rather than saying it is a curse, it is better to say that it is a mixture of a large amount of residual resentment and countless sins... a realm of sin.
This is also the reason why neither the clergy of the Kaguya Sect nor Farah can 'purify' this land.
Curse, poison, disease, and resentment can all be purified or dispersed by various means, but the concept of 'sin' cannot be affected.
Just like we can wash away the stains on clothes, but we cannot erase the shadows in the sun.
But Mo can...
He seems to have innate control and perception of 'sin', although even he himself doesn't know the reason for it.
"Let me carry it." He closed his eyes and whispered softly.
Ji Xiaodao, who had just retreated not far away, suddenly felt a trance. There was an unreal sense of detachment in the air, as if something cold was rushing crazily in a certain direction. Usually, just an illusory brushing will make a girl feel a chill!
It seemed like only a moment, but it also seemed like a long, long time passed...
A ray of sunshine that was not very bright fell on the girl's fair skin, causing her to wake up suddenly.
Raising his head in confusion, Ji Xiaodao discovered that the long-lasting dark clouds over Banser City were slowly becoming thinner, and wisps of tenacious light struggled to break through the obstacles, gently embracing the tortured land.
The sky is sunny...
And in Mo's ear, the system prompt sounded suddenly.

"Is that so?" Mo took off the glove on his right hand and looked at the mark composed of a large number of black lines on the back of his hand, with a wisp of black light in his eyes. .
Ji Xiaodao, who was bathing in the sun, had already run to Mo and asked in a low voice: "What did you do?"
I don't know if it was a coincidence, but she found out Mo's position is just in a small shadow...
"Take me to the city Meet Garros and the others outside." Mo did not answer her question, but said lightly: "Tell those two people not to leave here in a hurry and return to Troon early tomorrow morning. In addition, don't send anyone back to report to the emperor yet. Everyone is stationed outside the city..."
Ji Xiaodao nodded immediately, and then asked curiously: "Can't you tell them yourself?"
...
"Mo?"
The girl who did not get a response He whispered nervously.
"Move quickly..."
He spat out the last words with some difficulty. Under the strong and domineering backlash of the Immortal Evil, Mo finally lost his last bit of strength and fell softly to the ground.
......
Game time, one o'clock in the afternoon
[You have been disconnected urgently, please choose whether to reconnect]
"What do you think?"
[Reconnection starts...]
“I guessed wrong, actually I don’t want to connect.”
[It’s about to be disconnected...]
“You’re just kidding, you guessed it right. , actually I want to connect.”
【Reconnection begins...】
[Connection completed, reading character information]
[Welcome back, chaotic neutral Tan Mo, will soon be loaded into the realm of innocence, I wish you a good night]
……
< br>Eastern part of the Innocence, Black Tower City
Mo Tan, wearing a tight-fitting black leather outfit, appeared at the door of the Thieves Guild. He first looked at the surrounding environment, and then quickly rushed in In an alley, he quickly changed his tight clothes into the white robe from before and then took off the wretched mask on his face.
"So, the time for the fragment is over." He turned briskly out of the dark alley, and murmured as he strolled carelessly on the street: "If we go by our previous experience, what will happen next today will There shouldn't be any more "interruptions" for a while. Well, I haven't appeared in nine chapters. Although I have been busy during this period... I still feel a little uncomfortable in a subtle way. Tsk tsk, don't air this part. ”
He walked lightly through the streets and walked for about ten minutes before arriving at his destination. Located in the central area of Heita City, Liuli Pavilion is the most expensive residence within a hundred miles. .
The size of this city is not small. The smallest area of Northern City apart from the central area is enough to accommodate a Pato City or Kalan City, although it is not as good as Anka Market. This is a relatively well-known gathering place, but it still has a large permanent population. Most neutral organizations such as the Magician Guild, the Mercenary Guild, the Adventurer Guild, and the Thieves Guild have set up bases here, and businessmen and adventurers are also there. Of course, there are also holy unions and churches of many denominations.
Liu Li Pavilion is one of the industries of the Gold Coin Alliance in Black Tower City, the most prestigious chamber of commerce in the entire continent. It is located in the most prosperous area of the central city, and its price and luxury are beyond specifications. kind.
Flicking a gold coin to the respectful dwarf waiter, Mo Tan smiled and politely declined the other person's offer to lead the way, and stepped onto the second floor while playing with the harp in his hand.
Two minutes later
Cole, who was restless in a huge luxury room, finally arrived at Mo Tan.
"Sir!" The young thief took a deep breath and bowed slightly to Mo Tan: "You are finally here."
"Huh? You seem a little nervous." Mo Tan glanced at Cole with a funny look and blinked: "What happened?"
The latter shook his head awkwardly, and then whispered: "No, it's just that you are looking for I'm not used to this place, it's too luxurious..."
"Is there any?" Mo Tan sat casually on the huge snow mammoth leather chair and shrugged: "That's it. The price is not very expensive, less than 200 gold coins per night."
Cole smiled bitterly and spread his hands: "Maybe it doesn't mean anything to you, but the best place I've ever lived in is not one-third the size of this place, and you won't be there at night. Sleeping here, it’s really a bit hard for me to live here alone..."
I have to say that this kind of place will indeed have a big impact on a 'countryside' little thief, let alone a follower , that my husband spent a lot of money to settle here, which really made Cole a little uneasy.
His psychological quality is quite good. If it were Xiao Ai, he would probably be even more panicked...
"Relax." Mo Tan glanced at him and stood down from his hand. He picked up a cup of unknown drink on the table, took a sip, shook his head and said, "You just need to regard this situation as a 'necessary condition' rather than a 'gift'."
Cole asked with some confusion: "Necessary conditions?"
"That's right." Mo nodded: "This place is mainly for me to use, so just think of it as guarding it for me. ."
"Yes." Cole relaxed immediately, and the previous uncomfortable feeling disappeared.
The tension before was mainly due to the unknown. After all, last night, my husband informed me that he would temporarily settle down at Liulicing Pavilion and left quickly. Apart from telling him his address and leaving his identification badge, he left with nothing else. I didn't say anything, so I let him sit like this all the time. Restless...
"So don't think too much, I'm not the type who is kind enough to spend a lot of money to let my followers experience life." Mo Tan put down the cup casually, stood up and said to Cole : "It's time to get down to business."
"Yes." Cole nodded vigorously.
"Next, I need you to cooperate with me in doing some small experiments." Mo Tan smiled and said: "Your task is not difficult at all, just focus on it, and you are not allowed to ask any questions during this experiment. Question, can you do it?"
"No problem, sir."
"Very good, then the first step is to leave this room and wait at the door for 20 seconds before coming in. Then..."
