Chapter 76: Who Are You
Yue Qiang did not know Luqiu Ning, and he did not recognise the woman lying inside the coffin either. However, her every feature was identical to the female fitness coach Luqiu Duanyi he met in real life.
Any normal person would've had the thought that 'they are both the same person'.
For instance, Zhang Dapang and Zhang Dazhuang might not share a relations.h.i.+p with each other since there were plenty of people whose surname was Zhang. But if it was a strange surname like 'Luqiu', then it was only normal to guess that they share a relations.h.i.+p with each other or were actually the same person.
Plus, it wasn't like he wasn't familiar with the name Luqiu Ning.
A long time ago, when he first activated the friend system, Luqiu Ning's name was there already. It's just that her status display was in gray color. At the time, he thought that it was because they were too far apart and thus could not communicate with each other. Now it would seem that it was because Luqiu Ning was dead.
Yue Qiang shook his head and refocused his attention onto the dialog box.
He did not attempt to type anything and communicate. This was something a corpse left behind, and it was likely that the words on the bamboo scroll were merely stored using certain methods by Luqiu Ning. He could read, but not communicate with her.
After pressing the triangular shape once more, the bamboo scroll continued to display lines of characters in Song font.
”I have no way of knowing who you are, but if you've seen this bamboo scroll, then it must mean that you are that person.”
”The attraction formation could disarm every person's weapons, and the mechanical fist could only be broken by a person who is familiar with the Killing Style fist technique. The soul confounding gas can kill any person who does not have any heart type skill from long distance, and cause anyone with the Hundred Schools of Thought's heart skill to fall into pain and unconsciousness. Only those who have learned a heart type skill on their own can arrive here while maintaining their consciousness.”
”Therefore, since the moment I leave these words behind, I can predict that the only one who will pick up this bamboo scroll, is you.”
”You are the only person who can come to this place. There will not be anyone else beside you.”
There were three people in Yue Qiang's group, and beside him Yin was fine just like he was. However, Ai Qian was leaning not far away against the door and had fallen unconscious and in pain just as the bamboo scroll said. It would appear that the heart type skill he and Yin possess were extremely rare.
The bamboo scroll had predicted wrongly in this regard, but it did not stop Yue Qiang from looking more and more shocked at all. Cold sweat began to seep slightly out of his palm as he pressed the tiny triangle continuously.
It was you who is behind all this…
This thought was due to the words displayed on the bamboo scroll:
”There are no 'main quests', and there will no longer be any 'system messages' in the future. After all, these things don't exist in the first place. They were originally things I have created them at the last moment to help you. However, this is as far as I can do since there is just too little time.”
”Every main quest you went through is me helping you to get used to this world as soon as possible.”
”Thank goodness, and really, thank goodness you are a seasoned gamer, and you managed to survive several fatal situations. I know that you are relying on a relic level keyboard and mouse to control your character; perhaps I should have given you a… before the cutscene happened, I can see what you were doing… Every time you are about to die, I am more anxious than you are. After all, while you are playing you are fully concentrated, I am the one who has to endure the fear and panic while I watched you from the back. If you had died, then everyone's efforts and hard work would've all been for naught.”
”You really would die if you had died inside the game.”
”Luckily, you are a very smart person and have discovered this point. You have acted very carefully, and your control is excellent. I was both very happy and very afraid, but ultimately, you managed to reach here alive. You managed to see my corpse.”
