GOR Chapter 664 One Conclusion

“Not right?” Both Chen Xiaolian and Qiao Qiao became surprised. “Didn’t we successfully rescue Qiao Qiao out?”

“It is too successful. Thus, I feel that something is not right.” Bluesea shook his head slowly. “Brother Qiao’s daughter… … mm, I’ll just call you Qiao Qiao. When we found you, you were incarcerated alone. Did you see other incarcerated Irregularities?”

“No.” Qiao Qiao quickly shook her head. “I am the only one.”

“Did you never meet others like you, who were unwilling to kill Awakened ones by carrying out clearing operations?” asked Bluesea with furrowed brows.

“Kill Awakened ones? Clearing operations?” Qiao Qiao shook her head in confusion. “You… … what are you talking about? I don’t get it at all.”

“You were not imprisoned because you refused to join the Coalition?”

“No.” The same look of confusion remained on Qiao Qiao’s face. “I don’t even know why I was caught. I had thought… … you two know why.”

Bluesea and Chen Xiaolian exchanged glances and saw shock in each other’s faces.

Originally, Chen Xiaolian had assumed that Qiao Qiao must have been incarcerated for rejecting the offer to join the Coalition. However, he had never expected that Qiao Qiao was not even aware of the refreshing issue in World’s End and the Irregularities’ clearing operations.

“Qiao Qiao, tell me everything regarding how you were captured to me in detail.” Chen Xiaolian’s face was grim. He stood up, letting the blanket around him drop off as he pulled out the Sword in the Stone. Gripping the sword, he then took out the life signature detector and inspected his surroundings. Next, he gave Bluesea a signal to indicate that it was safe for now. However, he dared not lower his guard.

“All right.” Qiao Qiao had also sensed that there was something amiss. Knitting her brows, she carefully recalled what happened before slowly speaking up, “As it so happens, the place where I woke up was inside the Jerusalem instance dungeon, the underground palace.”

“When I opened my eyes and saw the familiar surroundings, I was shocked. Back then, I did not realize that I had died and had come to World’s End. I simply thought that… … we had won.

“Yet, when I looked up, I was unable to find you, Roddy, Soo Soo, Lun Tai, Xia Xiaolei… … even our opponents had all disappeared without a trace. I was the only one left within the empty underground palace.

“I tried using the guild channel to contact you only to find that I am incapable of accessing it. The storage equipment on me had also disappeared. Thankfully, my skills could still be used.

“Moving along the exit path, I got out and realized that the sky above was… … no longer blue and white. Mm, it is the same as what you can see now. It was then that I realized that I have come to the afterlife.

“After that, I saw several figures flying forward. They began searching around the instance dungeon. Despite noticing me, they did not care about my presence. None of them came to talk to me. They simply minded their own business as they searched around for something. Later on, I realized that they were searching newly sent instance dungeons for usable props.

“Later on, one within a group of two found a spear and the two fellows confronted each other for a moment. In the end, one of them decided to back down and the other one brought his bounty with him as he left.

“After considering it for a moment, I attempted to go forward to ask the remaining fellow about the situation here. From him, I found out the rules of operations of this World’s End.

“Since long ago, all Irregularities who died will be sent into World’s End. Here, they will possess what seems like an infinite amount of lifespan – as long as they do not get killed. Due to the loss of personal system, they can no longer obtain points from instance dungeons. Thus, most of the Irregularities who had entered World’s End, be they strong or weak, will no longer be able to enhance their strength. Only a small number of them who possess self-enhancing skills could slowly grow strong through time.

“Truth be told, most of the Irregularities who ended up in here are not that strong. Most of them failed to rise to an adequate level before dying in instance dungeons and get sent here. The strength of the Irregularities here all vary. With every refresh cycle, which occurs every three months, comes a fresh beginning. Although they would occasionally get into disputes and conflicts in pursuit of props, they generally would not put their lives on the line for the sake of those things. At any rate, they can live a decent life without provoking others.

“After finding out about that, I thanked him. Then, I chose a direction and set forth. I found a city-type instance dungeon and settled there. My thoughts on the matter was simple. Since the Irregularities within World’s End will never be cleared, I can just wait here. Although…”

Having said that, Qiao Qiao looked forward and smiled at Chen Xiaolian. “I don’t even know if I was hoping to meet you or hoping I would never meet you. Although I had been missing you every minute I was here, I knew that the moment I see you would mean… … you have died.

“Regardless, since I am still alive here, I have to live on.

“Not long after I arrived, I experienced my first refresh cycle. Everything around me disappeared in an instant, becoming a stretch of whiteness. The space of World’s End seemingly shrank away and we were all pulled into the mountain peak of Mt Olympus.

“The time when World’s End gets cleared is also the only time that all the Irregularities gather together.

“I was not interested in making contact with them. Thus, after the clearing process was done and new instance dungeons had been sent in, I left Mt Olympus. Finding a new place, I settled down once more. I did not go search for equipment. The only things I looked for were foodstuffs. Eat, sleep, reminisce.

“One day, someone suddenly appeared. It was a man.

“Without giving me any explanation, he attacked and defeated me. However, he did not kill me. Instead, he brought me back to Mt Olympus and had me imprisoned. I had no ability to fight back against him at all. I was like a baby before him.
