As a player, can you be normal?

Chapter 173 Get off the car and welcome to the endless corridor

The car windows were shattered.

A cold breeze drifted in outside the window.

"ended……"

Li Nuo let out a long breath, bent down and put his hands on his knees.

"it is finally over……"

"There are still 20 survivors, two more need to be killed." Sauron said from the side.

"Car No. 6...there are a few surviving vampires...if nothing else, they should be alive." Li Nuo leaned against the wall, slid down the wall and sat on the ground, put one hand on his knees, took off his hat and put it on the On the belly, head buried...

"Sauron, you are free to do whatever you want with the rest, but... don't touch the people related to me. The rest..." Li Nuo took a deep breath: "It's up to you."

Sauron turned and left expressionlessly.

Yak and the others stood outside the front door of the car.

Seeing Sauron coming out of there, they made a way.

"Sauron..." Yak gritted his teeth and moved out a panel: "The driver has the right... to resurrect people."

"Stop making trouble." Sauron waved his hand: "Marsh's life ends here, and the rest of his life has nothing to do with him."

He walked past Marsh's body, glanced at it, and said nothing.

……

"What's your name, skinny guy? Glasses fanatic?"

"Sauron."

"Why are you so embarrassed?"

"Can't pass the level."

"Fuck, I don't believe this reason, but you are quite desperate. How about you join my team and I'll take you to play?"

"Well, if that's the case, I'll give you something as a meeting gift."

"Damn it, where did you get these two shields? The panels are so damn high!"

"No comment. Anyway, I can't level up or get the equipment. I'll leave it to you to play with."

……

Sauron suddenly felt a little irritable.

A trace of warm blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

The negative effects of [Hundred Styles of Guanyin] have not been offset.

Think about it too...

Sauron touched his hair mockingly.

The hair was neatly combed into a messy mess, covered in blood and sticky like hairspray.

He insisted on standing firm, not letting anyone see that his thin body had already exceeded the critical point.

[13 minutes left until the Endless Corridor]

The train announces the time automatically.

"It's obviously over, but it's so annoying..."

Sometimes, when someone leaves around you, you can’t react at first and don’t realize what it means.

So it seems that I can still do my own thing rationally, and then at some point in time, I will suddenly realize what happened, and I will be overwhelmed by the stamina.

Just like Sauron now.

He looked at the two large shields that Marsh was holding tightly, stretched out, and left the carriage without looking back.

"Damn... I really want to go home and take a shower..."

"Fuck you, Endless Corridor."

……

"Everyone...who still wants to resurrect his teammates, tell me now." Li Nuo put on his hat and looked up at the players standing outside the door.

No one answered.

Until Yak said: "Even if Sauron refuses, I still want to bring him back to life."

After finishing his words, Yake turned and left: "Forget it."

"Eternal life means turning into a monster on the train and following the train forever." Li Nuo suddenly said.

Yak's unwilling response came from outside the door: "I guessed it!"

"I...want to do something." Cha Bai whispered to Li Nuo and followed Yake out.

After a few seconds of silence...

"So... what's next?" Johannessen walked out and stood in the middle of the crowd as he did when he first appeared in Car No. 3: "To be honest, all my teammates are dead. There is my savior there. Even if Even if he becomes a monster, I want him to live.”

Brother Rifle dragged his lame leg over: "Stop, that's enough, that's enough."

They look over.

A car full of corpses.

Thick blood spread everywhere.

They had gone crazy killing people and even forgot what this place looked like.

Rifle Brother and Tom, these relatively normal people, retained a trace of human reason and told these players whose whites were bloodshot that by now, this train itself was a direct train to hell.

The hell they should have been heading to months ago was just a little late to catch the ride.

This time, by luck, I missed the hell again.

"Then... let me rest for a while..."

Li Nuo lowered his head and rubbed his eyes.

Only Amanda stayed, and she said to Li Nuo: "The... weird energy in her body seems to be under control, but there is still danger."

Li Nuo: "Yeah, I know."

Amanda turned around and went out: "5897, my number. Come to me if you need anything."

"Thank you." Li Nuo said, "Sister Gazi."

Sister Gazi: "Don't call me that."

She dragged the big sword out, leaving a bloody mark on the ground with the tip of the sword, and disappeared out the door along with the bloody footprints.

There was no one at the door.

Li Nuo looked outside and saw Cha Bai standing next to Marsh's body.

Yake sat in the parking space, his head lowered, his face gloomy.

She glanced at Marsh.

He took out a book from his waist.

"Woman, what are you doing?"

came the displeased voice of Yake.

Cha Bai ignored it and continued to do his own thing, turning the book to the page he wanted to take in.

——"Admonitions of Lord Triss"

From the world of "The Witcher", the Holy See of Sorceresses in 1850.

They can be found everywhere on the market, they are cheap, and they are so close to the people that even beggars can recite a few sentences.

On this train, the only time I used the privilege of exchanging items was for this book.

"Hey! You don't want to come to pray, do you?"

Yak subconsciously took out the paper knife and pointed it at Cha Bai. With a little force, he could cut a gash in Cha Bai's body.

But suddenly, Chabai knelt down on one knee and crossed his hands on his chest.

"I don't have any ill intentions. This gentleman met me in Car No. 5. He even saved me. And anyway, this gentleman has no ill intentions towards others, so I just find it strange that he treats himself as a human being." The man with the shield, why is he the one who dies in the end?”

Cha Baiyu paused.

"I can't figure out why."

Yake gradually withdrew his sword and asked, "What do you want to say?"

Chabai said: "Please let me pray for them in the only way I know how to express my regret."

"..."

Yak didn't say anything, silently took back the knife, turned and walked towards the parking space, but before he sat down, he heard Cha Bai's prayer.

"I sincerely pray for Marsh and his family. May the light reward him and return to the embrace of the light after ending his earthly journey and enjoy eternal life."

"I beg... that the souls of Marsh and many of the dead can finally get out of this train and hover in a sacred corner where they return to the arms of Lord Triss. Although that is just a luxury wish, the night is fleeting and dusk is pressing down. After the endless darkness descends here, dust returns to dust, dust returns to dust, may everything return to peace."

After Yake finished listening, he did not sit down.

Cha Bai stood up and left.

Yake looked sideways at Cha Bai's back, his eyes shaking a little.

"Thank you."

……

"Her prayer seemed to include all the dead people."

Adam leaned against the car door, talking about Cha Bai, and pointed at Li Nuo.

"Hey... don't pretend to be dead."

"I'm really tired..." Li Nuo raised his head and lowered his eyelids and said, "Do you know how many things I calculated in a few hours... Even a robot can't use its brain like this, the CPU is fried. And they were beaten back and forth. This was the first time that I took the initiative to kill so many people. Our fragile souls could no longer bear the hurt... I even felt like I was a pervert... I was obviously just a pervert. Just doing art.”

"You are still so stupid, hey, bastard, do you want to consider forming a team and we will join you." Adam said.

"I pretended I didn't hear it." Li Nuo replied absently.

"I'm serious." Adam said: "Kante and my grandson are both dead, Lu Li's hand is gone, my fucking internal organs are about to be shattered, and Ni Yuexian is also seriously injured. To be fair, I'm not suitable Be the captain.”

Li Nuo let out a long breath, tilted his head and sat back, his pupils scanning the bloody scene outside.

"There are six of you in total, and only two of you died. Look at how many people in the other teams died."

"I don't need your comfort."

"I mean, don't bother me, I'm tired."

Cha Bai came back at this time and nodded as a greeting when he saw Adam.

Adam said no more and left with a cold face.

"Ha...hypocritical."

"You're laughing!" Adam looked back at Li Nuo, who was smiling low, and then his face darkened slightly: "For the matter between Tom and Ni Yuexing, I owe you a favor, and I will pay you back sooner or later."

Li Nuo didn't utter a word this time and raised his hand in agreement.

Cha Bai sat back on the plastic chair.Li Nuo took out his pocket watch and opened it: "Guess how long it has been since we entered the ticket assessment?"

Cha Bai crossed her legs and looked out the window: "4 hours and 2 minutes."

Li Nuo: "There are 27 seconds left."

"It feels like several months have passed." Chabai lowered his head and said, "Suddenly I felt so tired."

"Me too." Blood flowed from Li Nuo's nostrils. He wiped the blood with his thumb and said to himself in confusion: "What's going on? I didn't open any BUFF?"

[Entering the corridor buffer zone]

【Your digitalization will be weakened】

[All the discomforts we are experiencing now are physical feedback caused by long-term mental stress]

[You may feel sudden severe pain, suddenly vomit blood, or have blood stains at that location, or you may faint instantly, but it doesn't matter, this is just the real feedback of "Endless Corridor"]

[In 10 minutes, you will get off the train and usher in a new life]

【Please enjoy the pain of the last 10 minutes】

Li Nuo lowered his head and smiled crazily: "Yes, the pressure of these few hours is too much..."

The tip of the nose continued to bleed.

Li Nuo covered his eyes, his eyebrows kept beating, and he felt so uncomfortable that he wanted to curse: "There are still so many things... thinking about it makes my head hurt."

Cha Bai tore off a page of paper, pinched his nose, wiped a smear of blood, and said softly: "It's okay, we found the direction."

She released the mission panel.

[The Endless Corridor side mission has been triggered: Changing Destiny 2B/Cha Bai]

[Mission details: Return to "NieR Automata" and modify the future]

[Task Reward: Become a Human]

Li Nuo: "What a nonsense mission."

Cha Bai: "How to say?"

"It is difficult for humans to evolve anymore. Leaving the carbon-based shell to a silicon-based mechanical body may be a way out, so humans are not extinct. In fact, your artificial humans are humans themselves." Li Nuo stared at her, under the brim of his hat His eyes were no longer as sharp as before, but instead filled with helplessness and exhaustion: "At least I feel so."

"So what." Cha Bai sat next to him, his pupils flashing red: "If the system is official, then what the system determines is correct, and the players' own ideas are meaningless."

"This is also..."

"Li Nuo."

"Ok?"

"I was also on the train when I came back from The Witcher."

Li Nuo lowered the brim of his hat and closed his eyes: "There were all living people in the car that time."

Cha Bai didn't say anything.

The cloudy clouds outside the window dispersed.

A ray of light illuminates the sky.

Covering the flashing red light in her pupils.

[8 minutes left until the Endless Corridor]

[The clouds have receded]

[I hope your mood will improve]

[Reporting the number of players for the first time]

【Remaining 18 people】

【Please keep it up】

[In addition, other players’ bound weapons cannot be taken away. Please remember this clearly and don’t do it in vain]

……

Nanami slowly opened her eyes. She felt her head and body were cold, and her whole body was wet.

"woke up?"

Zeref was holding a steel helmet filled with water. It was obvious that he used the primitive and simple method of splashing water to wake up Nanami from her coma.

"This……"

Nanami tried to sit up in confusion, then remembered that her last arm was gone.

"It's terrible now... I will become a disabled person when I return to reality..." Nanami suddenly remembered something and her eyes widened: "I saw Dong Bailey just now! I swung that guy out with a stick, and then I heard The sound of the train stopping... made me faint..."

The more she thought about it, the more wrong she felt.

"This little girl hasn't figured out what happened yet." Zeref pointed at her and turned to the people behind him.

"Okay~ The car is about to stop anyway." Xiao Wu sat cross-legged on a relatively clean floor, looking at the warm light outside the window, waiting comfortably for the train to stop, her bow lying quietly not far away.

"Wait! Are you going to park?" Nanami was stunned.

Snapped--

Zeref sprinkled some more water on her face.

"What are you thinking about? It's all over."

"what?"

"I mean, we can get out of the car. We passed the test."

"This..." Nanami stared at her big almond eyes, a little at a loss.

She glanced left and right, looked around, and saw Marger's back in the car in front.

She was like grabbing the savior who saved her from confusion: "Hey... Marjie..."

Marjie turned his head: "How about I go back and install two arms with drill bits for you?"

Nanami hesitated and asked, "Well...can I get a discount?"

"Huh, yes." After Marger agreed, he felt that he was not pretentious enough, so he added: "But don't hold back next time."

The woman pursed her lips and smiled with a slight dimple.

"I'll go back and add your number."

……

[On this train No. 6, the following five outstanding passengers will receive special rewards]

【Remnant blood driver】

Li Nuo: "Ah..."

【Four-Eyed Madman】

Sauron: "Huh?"

【Humph】

Marjie: "Humph..."

【Resurrect my love】

Xiao Wu: "..."

[H comic protagonist’s face]

Lu Li: "Holy shit..."

[Rewards for five people will be distributed after returning to space]

[The door will open in one minute]

[Players please find a door to get off at will]

[About this journey - maybe you are dissatisfied, but don’t take it too seriously, after all, your new life has just begun]

"Talk shit."

Li Nuo complained and took off his hat and touched his messy hair.

Woo-!
The train spewed out white steam, covering the green mountains and fields speeding past outside the window.

The examination is over.

The curtain falls.

Li Nuo walked to the door of Car No. 1.

Marjie consciously had been waiting here for a long time. He was touching his arm and said: "I feel that my bionic arm is always in pain."

"Didn't the system say that our systemization is weakening, that is, it may no longer be protected by the system, so your arm will start to hurt..." Li Nuo put on his hat and hit the ground with his cane. There was a sound of metal colliding on the iron sheet: "Old Ma, do you want to think about it and put [Shit Blocks] on the back burner in the future?"

"Why?" Marger said a cultural word.

Li Nuo said: "The weirder the weapon, the faster you will die."

"Hmph...Have you forgotten how many times you have been saved by [Shit Block]?"

"Ah... this is not the same thing." Li Nuo suddenly remembered something important: "By the way, let's go back and settle the accounts carefully."

Marjie: "Huh...huh...I have something to do, so I won't go to space for now."

Da da……

The sound of Cha Bai's thin heels was particularly pleasant to the ear.

She put on her tactical goggles to cover her slightly red pupils. Her mind was still cluttered, and she had been holding back the moment when she would return to space.

"Stop arguing, it's time to go."

She walked between the two of them, patted Li Nuo on the shoulder, straightened the guy's body, and faced the door to go out.

Warm light came in from the window.

Waking up slowly at dusk, the faint breath dyed the sky crimson.

The crimson reflected in his eyes.

Li Nuo glanced sideways.

The red and yellow rays of light shine on the soft white hair, blending together inconsistently.

The door opened.

Li Nuo raised the brim of his hat and faced the door.

The cane hit the ground.

The first one to take a step and leave the train.

[Wish you all a safe journey]

[I wish you all a good life in the future]

【Welcome to the Endless Corridor】
