Abnormal paradise

Relying on the authoritative protection of the plague doctor's body and the advanced self-healing ability, Yi Yan began to explore this space ruins in the harsh environment of the earth shattering. However, even though he broke through the survival barrier, the search process was more difficult than any previous adventure. Much more dangerous.

Because the Invisible Spirit Crow and Wasp Wings, the two flight methods that Ember usually uses, are unable to withstand space storms, and there are only a few solid pieces of land on which to stand, so Ember can only rely on the black robe of the plague doctor. A short flight, leaping forward among pieces of suspended land.

However, the howling wind that often appeared at that time, although it was stripped of its damage ability, would still affect the flight path. Once, the ember was almost blown into the dark sky after starting. Fortunately, [Ghost Moon Step] came into play and helped him Kankan landed on the target.

"so close!"

Yi Yan wiped away the cold sweat, turned his head and glanced at the abyss behind him with lingering fear, but was immediately hit by the rising flames that broke through the ground in front of him. Thanks to his amazing concentration and superb fire resistance, otherwise it would have really happened. The embers are gone.

"The environment here is more dangerous than imagined. We must not take it lightly. It seems that every time we fly, we must wait for the Ghost Moon Steps to cool down. We must not waste a whole night's infiltration operation just because of greed for a few seconds. "

Ember knew well the importance of time to himself, so he made up his mind to be safe.

Although he could only move forward once every ten seconds, he was able to safely leave the outer area of ​​the space collapse, so that the black robe of the epidemic doctor no longer rustled due to the roaring wind.

It's just that the large landmass that appeared in front of Ember was not only barren, with no trace of artificial construction visible, but also like a furnace, full of heat waves, which made Ember quite suspicious. Does the Ghost of Day really leave a legacy?

Djinn God Jeffries said at the right time: "Although the environment here is very bad, the core of the space is still in a stable state. At least there are conditions to preserve the legacy of the Day Ghost. Continue to explore, but you still have to be more careful. There are also dangers in this environment. There may be living things."

"Yes." Yi Yan nodded solemnly and immediately boarded the Invisible Spirit Crow.

By avoiding the space storm, the invisible spirit crow loses the threat of death. With its concealment characteristics, it can add a layer of protection to the life safety of Ember. More importantly, the exploration efficiency is improved by more than one and a half points.

In less than thirty seconds, the invisible spirit crow flew over the path that Ember had to complete more than ten minutes before, and finally saw some kind of living creature that the djinn Jeffries had expected - [the Balrog]. At the same time, Yi Yan knew why this land was so hot. It turned out that there was an erupting volcano in the center of the land at the core of space. Within the volcano was born a red Balrog whose body was made of lava.

Such a discovery made Yi Yan's mind sink. The strength of Gain, the red flame demon, had reached the legendary peak, and it was not something he could compete with at the moment.

Furthermore, even if it could be killed, Ember didn't think the value of the loot would be higher than the special legacy of the Day Ghost.

"That's it?"

Yi Yan was slightly disappointed. He finally had a clue about the ghost of the day, and it was exclusive to him in advance. How could he be willing to accept such a result?

"No, no matter how hard I look, I still don't believe it. The ghost of the day really leaves an empty shell."

After calming down, Yi Yan began to direct the spirit crow to circle the volcano. While trying to avoid disturbing the legendary Balrog, he constantly changed the viewing angle and got closer to the core bit by bit. Then he actually saw the towering figure standing in the rolling magma. There is a rather abrupt black stone tablet.

However, what is engraved on the stone tablet is not text, but complicated patterns with unclear meanings. Even if Ember can barely see clearly, he cannot discern the meaning.

"Great Djinn Jeffries, can you decipher this black stone tablet?"

As a last resort, Ember could only apply for off-site assistance, but the genie Jeffries said that this stone tablet was the entrance to the dungeon!

"I was surprised before that the collapse time of this space was slightly earlier. It turns out that a lot of energy was used to maintain the existence of this copy!" Jeffries, the genie of the lamp, explained, "Find an opportunity to come over, you What you want may be right there.”

"good!"

Hearing this, Yi Yan was greatly excited. He immediately raised his spirits and commanded the invisible crow to approach the black stone tablet. During the whole process, he had been concentrating on guarding against the sudden outbreak of the red flame demon. However, the facts once again proved that the four pieces of abnormal alloy It was a great value for money, and until the ember touched the black stone tablet, the legendary Balrog did not move.

"I hope I am the first visitor to this dungeon. I also hope that the type of dungeon is not an open battle space like [Cemetery] and [Witchcraft Testing Ground]. Of course, what I hope most is that the difficulty is not too high. Although I have killed all the dead leaf witches, it is purely a mistake and cannot be counted. If Jesse Pinkman's data god descends, I may not be sure of victory."

Gathering away all his thoughts, Yi Yan held his breath and concentrated, pressing his palms firmly against the monument, only to receive an unexpected reminder on the spot.

[Tip: It is detected that you do not have the identity token of "Day Ghost", the Balrog Guardian will be awakened, and you only have three seconds of safety time. 】

Damn it, this is actually happening?

Ember never expected that the difficulty of exploring the White Ghost was comparable to that of seeking scriptures in the west. After finally getting here, the boat capsized.

But just when he was about to run away immediately, the second prompt appeared immediately.

[Tip: It is detected that you have a special physique, and this copy space will open a special line for you - "Who am I". 】

Um?

Special physique?

Is it a twisted incarnation of living corpse matter? Or is it the demonic body of a demon incarnate? Or is it the identity of the Balrog brought about by the [Heart of Balrog]?

Yi Yan couldn't figure it out for a while, but this didn't prevent him from immediately entering the copy space, because the previous prompt still woke up the legendary Balrog guarding the stone monument, so with a deafening roar, he disappeared into the stone monument.

…

[Tip: You have entered the plot of the dungeon "Who Am I". If you want to get the legacy of "Day Ghost", go find your true identity. 】

[Tip: In this copy, you will lose all abilities, equipment, items and character marks, but don’t worry, “I” have pretty good combat capabilities, but the difficulty of completing it will depend to a large extent. How much do you discover "me". 】

[Resurrection mechanism: None. 】

[Remaining times: 3/3. When the times are exhausted, this copy will be permanently closed, and the legacy of "Day Ghost" will be annihilated along with this space. 】

[I hope you will not doubt yourself when you find the truth. Since the outcome is already determined, why not come and welcome a new life? ——A little warning from a former colleague]

…

A former colleague?

What is this all about?

Yi Yan frowned, completely confused about the original design intention of this dungeon. He always felt that the "former colleague" who gave the warning seemed to want to use the plot of the dungeon to find himself to reveal an important secret, and this may have something to do with triggering the dungeon. There is a direct correlation between the special constitution of a special line.

"Well, it would be great if I could take a look at the normal line. By comparing the two, I should be able to understand something in advance."

Without the Day Ghost's identity token, Yan Yan's imagination can only be extravagant hopes. After entering the dungeon, his vision was occupied by darkness. It was not until a surprise-filled "He woke up" came from his ears that he was able to open his eyes. With his eyes, he saw two figures guarding him.

One of them was middle-aged, his ears and temples were slightly white, and there were faint tears in his eyes when he looked at the embers. The trembling corners of his mouth and clenched fists could all show the excitement of this middle-aged man.

The other was a young man, probably in his early twenties, with a very happy expression. But what worried Yi Jin the most was that he was missing one of his ears, as if there was a story hidden in him.

At this moment, the three of them were in an airtight room together. Although the lights above their heads were exceptionally bright, they still gave people a sense of oppression. This made Yi Yan couldn't help but suspect that the disappearance of the windows was to hide a certain secret.

During the observation period, Yu Yan gradually felt the power return to his body, and he got up from the bed in a daze. Then he saw his ordinary lower body. At the same time, a line of text floated in front of his eyes.

【who I am? 】

"Well, I want to know too."

Ember couldn't help but complain. His current situation was no better than the Gold Rush dungeon. Although he went out empty-handed, at that time, equipment, skills and other matters were only turned into unusable gray, unlike now, even the character panel, The storage space cannot be adjusted, it is like leaving the game world and starting a strange real life.

At this time, the middle-aged man with gray temples stepped forward and stood in front of the window, carefully observed the embers, and then sighed with relief: "Anduin, welcome back."

[Anduin...is this my name? 】

"..." The corner of Yu Yan's mouth twitched, thinking that it was best not to do so. I was afraid that if I spoke out, I would be beaten to death.

"It's true that you don't recognize me anymore, but it doesn't matter. It'll be great if you can come back. If you lose your memory, you can find it again."

The middle-aged man felt heartbroken by Ember's "confusion", so he forced himself to introduce himself: "I am your eldest brother Andersen."

"..."

Yi Yan was speechless on the spot. It was very difficult to establish a kinship relationship between Anduin and Andersen. Then he turned his head and looked at the young man, wondering what kind of "surprise" this dear man could bring him?

"I don't have a name, just call me One Ear. Welcome back, Anduin."

The young man who was missing one ear generously lifted up his hair and told his nickname to Ember. Naturally, Ember smiled awkwardly rather than politely, and kept complaining in his heart: "One ear." ...Well, this cross-border combination is really weird. No wonder the name of the copy is "Who am I?" The identities of the emotional owners are so outrageous."

When Yu Yan was doubting his life, his eldest brother Andersen took the initiative to comfort him with "understanding": "I understand how you feel now, but there are some things that I haven't told you yet. You have just woken up and your energy is not good enough. After a while, , I will let you know the ins and outs of the whole incident. Now, you'd better take a look at your personal belongings. Maybe this can help you adapt as soon as possible, and One-Ear and I won't disturb your rest."

After the words fell, Andersen and One Ear left the room, leaving Ember some space to be alone. He saw many items placed in the corner of the room, and immediately went to check, and then discovered that he might really be Anduin, Andersen's brother. .

Because in a photo album, Yu Yan saw the transformation process of the two brothers from childhood to adulthood. Although a large number of photos after the age of twenty-five were missing, it was still enough to prove that the unfamiliar face in the mirror belonged to the same person as the one in the album. .

"If this is a conspiracy, it would take too long. Of course, if the photo album is a forgery, that's another matter."

Yu Yan basically ruled out the possibility of Andersen lying, and then took a diary written by "himself" and looked through it to find useful information.

And this process was not difficult, because everything worth paying attention to had been folded up in advance, allowing Yi Yan to understand the youthful life of this body in just ten minutes.

[I am Anduin. When I was thirteen, my parents died in the invasion of "Neverland". This experience made me determined to join the army and protect the peace and tranquility of Eden. When I was seventeen, I successfully entered the Military Academy of Eden. , and inadvertently possessed the twisted ability to manipulate light and darkness during the summer vacation of my freshman year. At the age of twenty-three, the twisted crystal reached the fourth level. I was qualified to condense the legendary mark. At the same time, I was recruited into the army to participate in the battle against "Fantasy Township". "Resistance to war. 】

After reading the diary, a text summary appeared in front of Yi Yan. The [Neverland] and [Fantasy Township] mentioned in the content were both the surrounding planes of the Garden of Eden. The job of Foreign Minister Smith was to deal with them.

From Yu Yan's understanding, these two independent planes are regarded as auxiliary spaces of the Garden of Eden. Some social experiments that are difficult for the fishmen to complete will be carried out here first, but the development status is far behind the Garden of Eden.

One of the main reasons is that the Creator deliberately triggered two wars decades ago in order to create vitality for society. While defeating Neverland and Gensokyo respectively, he also washed away social ills through a series of reconstructions.

This extremely destructive decision seems to go against the original intention of the Creator, but even if he guides it, social conflicts will inevitably intensify sooner or later. Therefore, he chooses to actively trigger a plane war to minimize the negative impact. , breaking down barriers for the subsequent development of Eden.

As for Neverland and Gensokyo, in the inevitable failure, they temporarily buried their heads in the Garden of Eden. It has been decades ago. Therefore, in the hearts of many aborigines in the Garden of Eden, people from these two planes are all indigenous country bumpkins. .

For example, when Yi Jin went to the Uptown Security Office to report, a certain deputy director preconceived the idea that he was a country bumpkin from outside. He didn't give up until he heard the name of Chaos Training Camp.

Ember put down the diary thoughtfully, and then looked at a newspaper that seemed to have just been printed. On the front page, in bold black letters, it read: "The great soldiers of Eden defeated the invaders of Gensokyo. Will return to port tomorrow..."
