Chapter 455 Two New Endings
It is indeed a good ending, but not entirely good.
The key is that the ending is different from what Zhuge Jun originally expected!
At this time, the CG cutscene at the end of the game came out. The rescue team arrived in Charlton City. They entered the Claridge's Hotel and rescued the survivors here.
In another ending, the careerist and puppet maker Jim who controlled the player went crazy, and the rescuers had to tie him up with a special straitjacket and take him out for treatment.
The other survivors looked normal, except that the little girl who had been treated by the protagonist came to the cathedral to pray to the statue, and seemed to still be looking forward to the protagonist's safe return.
The rescue team also searched the entire cathedral inside and out, but unfortunately nothing was found and nothing was found.
In this way, accompanied by the bells of the cathedral, the rescue team left the city of Charlton with the survivors. In the future, Charlton City may be rebuilt, but its decline is obviously a foregone conclusion, because with the complete demise of the ancient gods, the monsters in the streets and the crystals in the ground have also turned into ashes and disappeared completely.
Without crystal energy and blood therapy, Charlton City will never be able to regain its past glory, even if it is later rebuilt and gradually recovered.
But in any case, this disaster has subsided and will not spread to the whole world. This is a blessing among misfortunes.
...
But for Zhuge Jun, this ending is still not acceptable, and there is a very obvious gap.
Because he originally thought that what he had achieved was the ending of becoming a god!
Among the three endings that have not yet been released, the ending of becoming a god is obviously the rarest ending.
As for the current God-Slaying ending, the final result turned out to be the death of the protagonist, which is still somewhat unpleasant.
Of course, in a similar worldview, it is difficult for players to determine which of the two results, "complete death" or "becoming a god," is better. After all, becoming a god may be a state worse than death.
But no matter what, Zhuge Jun personally prefers the ending of becoming a god.
“Damn it, why did it explode in the end?
“Can’t I eat up all three powers? Is this more than my body can handle?
“This conjecture is quite reasonable, but if these three rights are not taken away, it is very likely that the ending of the family will happen again.
"Perhaps there are other prerequisites for becoming a god?"
Zhuge Jun was caught in a dilemma. At this time, he had two completely different options.
One is to go back directly, go back to the ending, and continue to explore in the game to see if there are any other factors that affect the ending; the second is to enter the second game, play it again from the beginning, and change Check out your own routes and gameplay.
Which specific method can find the true ending faster? Zhuge Jun didn't dare to say for sure.
If you are just missing an important branch line or prop, the first method is definitely better; but if you need some deeper prerequisites, such as not lying too many times, or a key branch line If you have already made the wrong choice, if you want to get a new ending, you can only use the second method.
Zhuge Jun didn't have a clue for a while. He looked at it and saw that it was getting late, so he could only choose to go back and rest first.
Maybe if you take a nap, you will have new answers?
......
At the same time, Lilith was watching the discussion among online players with great pleasure.
So far, players have discovered four of the five endings.
It stands to reason that Lilith should be anxious. After all, every new ending means that players will contribute less negative emotions and more positive emotions in the future.
But Lilith was not nervous at all, it seemed that this was all within her plan.
"Hmph, I will soon let you know what it means to be so close to the end of the world!"
Obviously, Lilith has a lot of thoughts about the hidden fifth ending of "Blood of Lies" of confidence.
At this time, the first batch of top players have begun to share how to achieve the two good endings of "Blood of Lies", "Slaughter of Gods" and "Heart of Freedom".
Comparatively speaking, they are a little more difficult to achieve than the previous two bad endings, but they are not that difficult.
The key to achieving the ending of "Slaughter of the Gods" is to complete the "School of the Moon" branch in the game, kill the hidden third ancient god Mel, and seize Mel's heart of the ancient god. Fight against Thathra's control and ultimately slay the three Old Gods.
Then, the player must use his own body as a container to contain the authority of these three ancient gods.
These three ancient gods have a cyclic restraint relationship. Ilonak restrains Mel, Mel restrains Sathra, and Sathra restrains Ilonak.
Under this cyclical restraint relationship, the authority of the three ancient gods devoured each other and destroyed each other, thus causing the power of all the ancient gods to completely disappear. The monsters, living corpses, puppet energy sources, and crystalline mineral veins all disappeared in the entire city of Charlton, and this disaster naturally ended.
This is the ending that Zhuge Jun played before. Obviously there are many players who made similar attempts like him, and they also played this ending at about the same time.
After all, although the School of the Moon is a hidden map, it won’t be that hard to find as long as you push the map carefully.
The way to achieve "Heart of Freedom" is completely different.
Currently, only one player in the entire network has achieved this ending. According to him, this ending does require a choice of opening that favors puppets, but when choosing a lie later, you must make a specific choice.
The so-called "specific choice" is neither blindly lying nor blindly telling the truth.
At present, most players regard the lying system in the game as a "point-adding system". For example, if you want to play as a master, you must lie more, and if you want to play the pure doll transformation route, you must tell the truth.
In the beginning, this method of playing is really useful because it can actually increase the income of a specific training route.
For example, in the pure doll transformation route, players have to replace all parts of their body with dolls to achieve a very high damage reduction rate and achieve the effect of standing up to the boss.
In this case, choosing to tell the truth among all lie options can further improve the doll's related upgrade effects, make it less prone to mental problems, and even make it completely immune to certain ancient gods and sects. The spiritual attack method of believers.
That is to say, he becomes a pure fool.
But this player did not play in this way. The options he chose were all based on his heart.
In short, when he encounters situations such as "human relations", "temptation by bad people", "protecting others", etc., he will choose lies; but when he encounters situations such as "a good NPC who is eager to know the truth" , will choose the truth.
For example, a good NPC laments that he is getting old and his health is not as good as before in the dialogue, and the player praises "you are still a powerful hunter", this is "humanity";
Like Ba Like Qi, he probes for information through questioning and changes the form of the boss to trick people. At this time, the player lies to deal with the "bad guy's temptation";
Some obviously problematic NPCs lie to lead them to other dangerous areas and prevent them from going to hotels to harm others. This is "protecting others";
And some NPCs have been looking for themselves during the game Their loved ones are willing to pay any price just to seek the truth. At this time, even if the players find that their loved ones are dead, they should tell the truth instead of hiding it out of goodwill. This is also kind.
In general, this player's choice to lie or not lie is not out of mechanical dogmatism, but based on the actual situation.
That is, making decisions based on "human thinking characteristics".
At the beginning, many people felt that he was working in vain. After all, lying and telling the truth seemed to be two mutually exclusive options, corresponding to the improvement of abilities in different directions.
Pointing on both sides means that neither training route can go to the extreme. This is just like mindlessly averaging all the points when adding points. There is definitely a problem.
But it turns out that this player is right, because the lying system in this game actually has hidden attributes!
At the last moment, when Jim, the puppet maker, tried to control him, an option appeared on the player's screen, allowing him to freely choose whether to accept Jim's control.
You can choose to let go of everything, or you can choose to resist.
Of course the player chose to resist, and then there was another fierce boss battle.
Doll Craftsman Jim is a special being. He can control different dolls to fight with players, and during the battle, he will also use many different methods to specifically attack the player's doll body.
At this time, the human side of the player comes into play. Not only can it resist the other party's mental control, but it can also in turn cause mental attacks on Jim.
This battle was quite difficult for the puppet players, but fortunately, they won in the end.
In this ending, it doesn’t matter how many body parts the player uses puppet technology to transform. Even if the whole body has been replaced with puppet parts, as long as the player can make most of the lie choices, he can still stick to it in the end. Original intention.
However, compared to the "God-Slaying Ending", the ending of "Heart of Freedom" obviously has more hidden dangers and more hopes.
Because in this ending, the player failed to kill Sathra.
After discovering that he could not control the player at all, Sathra fled in a panic, so the power of the ancient god was retained.
Those monsters and living corpses were gradually cleaned up and turned into more crystallized energy. Using these energy sources, the puppet industry and blood therapy industry in Charlton City can continue to exist.
The survival of the protagonist also proves that Charlton City’s technology can indeed allow humans to obtain immortality in this way.
Of course, is he who survived in the form of a doll and inherited all the memories of the original human being still the same person?
This is a relatively profound philosophical question, and it may be difficult to draw a definite conclusion.
But no matter what, such a success story will inevitably make wealthy people from all over the world flock to Charlton City who want to extend their lives.
This time the disaster of Blood of the Ancient God passed without any danger, but when will the next disaster occur? The next time a disaster occurs, will there be a powerful hunter like the protagonist to turn the tide and save the world?
This is a very intriguing question.
