Chapter 73 Hidden mission? (fifth update)
The evil eye's tentacle pierced his temple, and Zou Feng's consciousness gradually became blurred.
During this period, the black tide energy continued to penetrate into the brain, trying to occupy the sea of consciousness and search for memory information.
But the evil eye's behavior inadvertently triggered the challenger's system taboo.
The purification system created by Jiuyin was activated at this time, quickly clearing away the black tide energy that had seeped into Zou Feng's mind.
The purification system is one of the four core subsystems in the Challenger system. Its importance is no less important than the data-based system created by Guidance, the space guidance system created by Yan Ming, and the all-things extraction system created by Super Dimension.
The core function of the purification system is to eliminate all negative states.
For example, if a player dies after being subjected to a curse-type ability, this part of the curse's power will also be extracted by the super-dimensional all-things extraction power, and will be sent back to the underground of Dizhong Village for remodeling together with the player's decomposed flesh and blood materials.
Without the protection of the purification system, the negative status will continue to exist after the player is resurrected.
The function of the purification system is to filter negative energy to ensure that players can reshape their flesh and blood in the most perfect state before completing their resurrection.
The second is to ensure the mental health of players.
The frequent occurrence of emotions such as death, despair, fear, etc. will lead to abnormalities in the player's mental state. Excessive mental stimulation may even cause mental illness in the player.
For example, the hatred caused by the taunting ability will still remain in the memory even if it is out of control.
The purification system can perfectly heal players' mental trauma and ensure that every resurrection is in an excellent mental state.
The evil eye's behavior of invading the player's sea of consciousness has triggered the taboo of the purification system. After active activation, it began to clear a large area of the black tide energy that penetrated into Zou Feng's sea of consciousness. The black tide energy was dispersed in a short period of time, and a purification protection was formed in the sea of consciousness. Shield, protecting Zou Feng's sea of consciousness from being invaded by corrosive forces.
Time passed by, and Xie Yan, who sensed something was wrong, continued to try several times before suddenly losing his strength, and the black tide energy that was still seeping into Zou Feng's sea of consciousness faded away like a tide.
"No, I can't read his memory. His sea of consciousness is protected by some unknown force and cannot be broken through."
The thought of the evil eye sounded in the mind of the evil spirit of Earth Thought.
Di Nian Evil Spirit, who was waiting for the answer, frowned slightly when he heard it. He raised his hand and pulled Zou Feng to him, stretched out his hand and pinched his neck, and decided to interrogate him personally.
The ferocious eyes burned by charcoal fire looked directly at Zou Feng, and a hoarse voice squeezed out of his throat:
"Next I will ask you a few questions. If you answer them truthfully, I can make your death easy."
Zou Feng, who had regained his consciousness, still looked a little confused after hearing this.
Under the coercion of the evil spirit of Earth Thought, not only did he not have any fear in his heart, but what he was thinking about was why the hidden mission hadn't been triggered yet. Could it be that he opened it in the wrong way?
Or do you need a conversation to open a hidden mission?
Thinking of this, Zou Feng suddenly had an idea. He looked at the evil spirit of Di Nian and said with a dissatisfied expression:
"Just ask questions. Put me down first and ask with a nice attitude. I'm here to play games, not to be upset."
The evil spirit of Earth Thought:...
In Zou Feng's eyes, he could not see any fear, only deep dissatisfaction.
At this moment, the evil spirit of Di Nian let go of the hand that restrained his neck, and Zou Feng immediately landed firmly on the ground.
After shaking his limbs and twisting his hips to stretch his body, Zou Feng looked up at the evil spirit of Di Nian with a dissatisfied expression:
"Ask, hurry up... I really want to skip the plot and get the mission directly. I hate game plots that can't be skipped."
"What game plot?" Hearing Zou Feng's muttering, the Earth Mind Evil Spirit asked in a deep voice.
"It's none of your business. Ask quickly."
Suppressing the idea of slapping the creature in front of him to death, the evil spirit of Earth Mind asked in a deep voice:
"Tell me about your origins."
Facing the inquiry, Zou Feng fell into deep thought.
How to answer this question will obviously affect the unfolding of the hidden mission. It is not advisable to directly answer that you are a player, and it may cause the mission to fail.
This has been verified before.
He had seen a post on the forum by a player who had obtained the Sky Talisman Combat Skill, which mentioned that there was an unexplainable taboo about the player's identity.
The reason was that when the player who posted the message was communicating with the God of Wealth, he found that there were blocking words in his words, which caused a large part of what he said to be missed by the God of Wealth.
Many players participated in the discussion on this forum.
It is generally believed to be a taboo set in the game "Dark Land". The purpose is to allow players to better assume the identity of the game and not to expose the existence of another world to avoid affecting the judgment of the intelligent NPC in the game.
So how to answer this question obviously needs to be explained from the perspective of the game.
Thinking of this, Zou Feng gave an honest answer:
"We are warriors who believe in the Emperor's Omen. Our purpose is to overturn the destruction of the world by the Black Tide until we defeat the Black Tide and restore light to the world."
Zou Feng's second answer silenced the evil spirit of Earth Mind and the evil eye suspended in the sky.
Looking at Zou Feng with a sincere face, Di Nian Evil Spirit couldn't help but ask:
"Do you know what Kuroshio is?"
"Of course I know, the destroyer who invaded this world."
"Then do you know how strong the Kuroshio force is?"
"I don't know, maybe it's very strong, but it's not a big problem. We will defeat it sooner or later."
Zou Feng's answer left Di Nian Evil Spirit completely speechless.
In the eyes of the Earth Mind Evil Spirit, this group of creatures, although they possess some mysterious power of rules, are very weak and vulnerable.
But at this moment, he was uttering wild words to overthrow the black tide.
It is like an ant that is overestimating its capabilities, trying to influence the operation of the planet and change the laws of nature through its own power.
But the problem is, what he sees in Zou Feng's eyes is not arrogance and arrogance, but confidence and pride.
Mysterious self-confidence really puzzled Earth Nian Evil Spirit and Evil Eye:
"Do you really think you can defeat the Kuroshio just by yourself?"
"Nonsense, we are Emperor Zhao warriors. Although we are very weak now, if you give me a year to grow up, I can kill two evil spirits of level 70 like you with one strike. My brother's black-armored snake form can be swallowed in one bite. A truck.”
Although he couldn't understand what Zou Feng said behind him, he could hear the insult and confidence in Zou Feng's words.
Suppressing the anger in his heart, he continued to ask in a deep voice:
"Where does the power of rules you control come from?"
Facing the inquiry, Zou Feng couldn't help but scratch his head:
"The power of rules? You are talking about XXXX (original characteristics), right? This ability is given by the emperor's sign, and it is very easy to use... So what on earth is wrong with you? Please hurry up."
"Why does the flesh and blood energy that makes up your body disappear after you die?"
The evil spirit of Di Nian, who had reached the end of his patience, asked the key question.
But this question confused Zou Feng.
In his understanding, when the player dies, he will turn into black mist and dissipate. After the resurrection cooldown is completed, he will be reborn in Dizhong Village.
So I don’t understand what the words of Di Nian Xie Ling mean.
"I don't understand what flesh and blood energy dissipates. Please explain it in detail."
"You don't want to answer?" The evil spirit of Di Nian suddenly raised his hand, pinched Zou Feng's neck again, lifted him in front of him, and slowly tightened his palm.
Zou Feng suddenly felt difficulty breathing and his face turned red:
"You bitch, let go, your grandpa didn't come to play games to be pissed off."
The evil spirit of Di Nian did not answer, and the black mist released from his body quickly enveloped Zou Feng.
Wherever the black mist passed, Zou Feng felt an unbearable sting, and he suddenly let out a shrill scream.
Hearing the screams, a smile appeared on the corner of the Earth Mind Evil Spirit's lips.
At this time, the challenger system was activated again.
Realizing that Zou Feng was undergoing very dangerous mental and physical torture, the Challenger system automatically adjusted Zou Feng's pain perception from 10% to 0.
The black mist that enveloped Zou Feng continued to surge, but the screams stopped abruptly.
Feeling something was wrong, the evil spirit of Di Nian immediately dispersed the black fog, and what he saw was Zou Feng's confused expression.
"Aren't you in pain?"
"It hurt just now, but it doesn't hurt anymore."
This answer made both the Earth Mind Evil Spirit and the Evil Eye confused. Earth Mind immediately released the black mist on their bodies, wrapped around Zou Feng's right arm, and continued to seep in along the pores.
After the pain sensation dropped to 0%, Zou Feng not only felt no pain, but even felt like laughing.
"How do you feel?"
"I don't feel anything. Do you want to use more force?"
In disbelief, the evil spirit of Di Nian chose to continue trying, hoping to obtain information through torture. But nothing changed.
The black mist he released had physical destruction and mental stinging effects, but it had no effect on the weak mysterious creature in front of him.
After several attempts to no avail, the evil spirit of Di Nian completely lost his patience and stretched out his hand to break Zou Feng's neck.
The energy of flesh and blood that made up Zou Feng also turned into black mist and dissipated. Even if the evil eye tried its best to capture it, there was still no trace, as if it had evaporated out of thin air.
"Catch a few more for interrogation and investigate the specific origins of these mysterious creatures."
Xie Yan spoke at this moment.
Although this group of mysterious creatures are very weak, in the eyes of the evil eye, they cannot be ordinary creatures if they have the power to master the rules. There must be secrets in them.
"I don't want to talk to these stupid creatures anymore." The evil spirit of Earth Mind said impatiently.
"Don't forget, they have the power of rules. If you can find out their origins, maybe you can also master similar abilities. I can even inject the power of rules into your black tide and create a team of rules masters for you. A powerful army.”
Xie Yan's words made Di Nian Xie Ling fall into silence. After a long time, he nodded:
"Okay!"

Player Forum:
[It’s very uncomfortable. The hidden task was not triggered successfully. I don’t know which step went wrong. 】
Posted by: Move with the wind.
Content:
I have to go to the forum to talk about what happened to me. I’m really pissed off... At that time, my brothers and I were mowing grass in the dark tide. After killing a group of evil spirits, we found that the brothers had been locked up in a small dark room (1 hour Cool down), I was exhausted and prepared to die, but unexpectedly something unexpected happened... Guess who I saw, the evil spirit of Earth Mind who violently beat up the God of Wealth.
At this point in the plot, there is obviously a hidden mission that can be triggered.
But the problem was that there seemed to be something wrong with my answer, and I was eventually killed by the evil spirit of Earth Mind.
Attached here is the video recorded at that time (Attachment: Recorded video)
Comment area:
Dark night is coming: Brother, you are such a reckless man. Your identity in the game is a warrior of the Emperor Zhao camp. How can you cooperate with the answer? If you want to trigger the hidden mission, you must have a bad attitude and an attitude of despising death, and then you will Trigger hidden missions, such as: Warrior of the Emperor's Omen (Hidden Mission).
Is this a beaver: Brother, you are too tough. The hidden mission that you are about to get is just lost to you. Brother Heiye upstairs is right. If you want to assume the identity of the game and answer questions, you must not be timid. You will lose a lot this time. Sorry, it's a pity that I wasn't the one who triggered the mission, otherwise I would definitely get it.
Leopard Head Lingchong: This hidden mission may give you 10,000 sacrifices, or even more. The huge sum of money you got is just lost. If you put me in your place, I would like to slap myself twice.
……
Zou Feng's post caused heated discussions on the forum, and the popularity continued to rise.
In response to the special plot he triggered, forum players turned into experts one after another and gave what they believed to be reliable advice. At the same time, they couldn't help but lament that this good luck had not happened to them.
2 hours later.
The live broadcast room of player "Crazy Chicken" has been flooded with a large number of players.
The reason is that during the live broadcast, Raging Chicken encountered the plot trigger mentioned in the forum player's "Follow the Wind" post, and was sent to the tower platform by the evil spirit.
This also made his live broadcast room instantly reach the top of the popularity list. A large number of players came to hear about it and wanted to see the hidden plot.
At this time, Earth Mind Evil Spirit and Evil Eye were in a depressed mood.
Looking at the mysterious creatures sitting on the platform, they saw uncontrollable joy and excitement in their eyes. There was no trace of fear in their eyes, only endless fanaticism.
This is the first time that the evil spirit of Earth Thought, which has fought in the dungeon world and brought fear to countless creatures, has encountered such an evil situation.
"Aren't you afraid?"
The violent chick who learned through the live broadcast room that he had triggered a hidden plot trembled slightly. He suppressed his excitement and began to think about how to answer this question.
If you answer correctly, you will win the jackpot, and the hidden mission rewards will be generous.
At this time, the onlookers in the live broadcast room also gave suggestions:
"Hurry up and scold it. Scolding it will definitely trigger the hidden mission. As a Di Zhao warrior, you must have a bad attitude when facing evil spirits."
"Go straight up and output. If you want to trigger the mission, you must show your courage. Don't imitate others and answer the questions honestly. He is too stupid."
"Don't listen to the nonsense of the brother upstairs. I suggest you answer this question first, and then slowly start the follow-up conversation. Suicide charging before the plot has started will definitely not trigger the hidden mission. Believe me, brother, I am a five-year veteran player of the Sinful Land. , has a deep understanding of the games developed by the Eclipse clan.”
……
Players in the live broadcast room gave a variety of options. After a brief silence, the violent chicken gritted his teeth and switched to the form of the eagle-headed demon, decisively charging towards the evil spirit of Earth Mind:
"We, the Emperor Zhao warriors, will never compromise with evil spirits."
Click!
Accompanied by the sound of a broken neck, the live broadcast screen went dark, and a prompt popped up:
[The player dies and the live broadcast is interrupted. 】
"I said that we must have a dialogue first to start the subsequent plot, but I charged at the beginning, which was a shameful act. It was so stupid."
"Another idiot gave away the huge sum of money he received. He didn't understand the point of directly launching a suicide charge. Hey, it's a pity that it wasn't me who triggered the plot, otherwise I would definitely not miss this opportunity."
"It's funny to me. Xuexue met the brother of the God of Wealth last time. He chatted with the God of Wealth for a long time before he was given the talisman combat skills. So when encountering special events, of course you have to talk first, and the follow-up can only be triggered when the plot unfolds. Content.”
Regarding the failed hidden mission trigger, the onlookers expressed their opinions.
They all thought that the behavior of the violent chicken was too reckless. If he had done it himself, he would definitely be able to trigger it. They just lamented that they were not so lucky.
An hour later, the "hidden mission" appeared again.
The player who triggered the task decisively started the live broadcast, and his live broadcast room became popular in a short period of time.
The comment area of the live broadcast room once again flooded with a large number of dog-headed military advisors.
When the player who triggered the mission saw the evil spirit of Earth Mind, he changed his approach to deal with it.
Faced with the inquiry, he first gave a normal answer. When asked about the origin of his ability, he chose to look at the evil spirit of Earth Mind with determination and said:
"You are shameless and evil, don't even think about knowing the secret of the emperor's sign, I will fight with you."
After saying that, he transformed into a monster form, and was slapped in a tragic manner, and the black mist dissipated.
After this player died, subsequent players who triggered the hidden plot began to play cards out of the box, trying to find the opening conditions for the hidden mission through trial and error.
For example, after a certain player triggered the "Hidden Mission", he cried bitterly when faced with the interrogation of the evil spirit of Earth Mind, saying that he was willing to be loyal to the Kuroshio, and that he had long been unhappy with the bullshit Emperor's Omen.
The reason for this was a suggestion given by a player in the live broadcast room.
It is suggested that hidden missions will most likely require players to join the undercover undercover, thereby triggering the undercover plot line and opening up a different growth path from other players.
This idea was praised by many players and became the choice of this "lucky player" to trigger the task.
As expected, it ends with the death of the player.
In the continuous attempts of players, the triggering method of the hidden plot has never been cracked, and the topic of discussing the triggering method is also rising.
……
Evil Eye Tower Platform.
After killing the captured mysterious creature again, the evil spirit of Earth Mind was completely silent.
Thinking back on the past two days, it felt like something strange had been stuffed into its mind.
The performance of the captured mysterious creatures was so out of the ordinary that they did not even look like beings from a group of people.
During this period, there were mysterious creatures that attacked him if they disagreed, there were mysterious creatures that knelt down and begged for mercy and wanted to join the Kuroshio camp, there were mysterious creatures that kept silent and didn't say anything, and just looked at him with angry eyes, and there were the mysterious creatures that spoke sincerely. The mysterious creature who persuaded him to put down the butcher knife and join the Emperor Zhao camp... The most outrageous thing was that after he captured a mysterious creature in the high tower, he sat on the ground and communicated with him in sign language. He was so angry that he slapped it into black mist. dissipate.
These mysterious creatures with out-of-the-box thinking seemed to use his interrogation as a performance stage.
Each time he responded to his interrogation in a different way, and the process was never repeated.
And he has never been able to obtain useful intelligence. All he has obtained is some strange information, which is not helpful in mastering the power of rules.
During this period, he even had the idea of giving up.
But every time the evil eye would persuade him, saying that doing so might be a way to gain control over the power of the rules, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and persevere, enduring the mental torture caused by a series of bizarre performance arts by mysterious creatures.
After persisting until now, the evil spirit of Di Nian has completely lost his patience, and can only feel the suppressed anger violently surging in his mind.
When he came to the edge of the platform and stood still, the dark red eyes of the Earth Mind Evil Spirit burst out with light, and he opened his arms and looked up to the sky and roared.
Suddenly, the black tide energy in his body turned into a huge wave and swept across all directions, causing the tower to tremble.
"Di Nian, control your emotions. As a commanding warrior, you need to stay rational at all times." Xie Yan persuaded in a deep voice at this time.
"Fuck your sanity, ahhhh."
