Chapter 84

Xiao Tangqiu hadn’t seen a living person for over thirty days.

Thirty days!

God knew how he survived these thirty days. Although it was accompanied by a chatroom, how could the chat compare to a living person? He didn’t even know if it was people or ghosts behind the chat, or if it was just one bot after another that automatically sent messages. Now that he finally had the chance to see a living person again, he was naturally more than excited. His mood was comparable to Robinson seeing Friday for the first time.

Xiao Tangqiu was agitated and he turned and ran towards the tunnel without hesitation... No, it was floated towards.

He sped up and drifted like the wind, and in a blink of an eye he drifted to the tunnel. Before he could drift in, there was a sound of footsteps in the tunnel!

Sure enough, players had entered the instance!

Xiao Tangqiu was very excited. He floated in mid-air for a while and finally saw people coming out of the tunnel. The moment he saw them, his eyes were almost moved to tears, it was living people! Actually alive! Real and solid living people!

He was so touched that he almost wanted to pounce and hug the group of people. Fortunately, he remembered that he was dead and that no one in this group could see him.

Soon, Xiao Tangqiu was surprised to notice that he actually saw a few acquaintances among this group. The leader was Bai Yushan, who he had met at Baobab Tree Pub not long ago. This woman was an intelligence broker. Xue Junli also asked her for information on the next instance. In addition, this woman seemed to be quite powerful. He didn’t expect that he would see Bai Yushan for the second time so soon.

A few teammates followed behind Bai Yushan, both men and women, who all looked skilled. In addition, there were a few awkward looking weaklings who looked like newbies at first glance. Just by their appearance, they were cannon fodders for the instance.

Xiao Tangqiu didn’t know if he saw Bai Yushan in this instance by coincidence. To say it was not a coincidence, it seemed too coincidental. Maybe it was a coincidence. But why would Bai Yushan make such a coincidence? Was it to find him? But the two of them were not familiar. If Bai Yushan was looking for her sister Bai Yuru, then he could understand. Or if the person looking for him was actually Shen Yuan...

The moment he thought of Shen Yuan, he couldn’t help falling into silence.

Xiao Tangqiu floated silently in the air for a while before deciding to follow this group of people to find out. The plot development along the way was similar to what they had experienced before. The Bai Yushan group also met Miko Kisaragi, and this time, “Miko Kisaragi” also joined the team.

He was a bystander, floating in the air and watching the development calmly just like he used to watch his replays after his live stream ended. He also discovered some details that he had not noticed before. He couldn’t help but wonder, would the plot development be exactly the same?

Facts proved that the development of the plot was really the same. Kisaragi really betrayed the mountain god she used to worship due to being bewitched by demons. But this time the witch did not appear. She herself transformed into a demon and became the final boss. The Abyss Demon naturally also did not appear.

Xiao Tangqiu couldn’t think of the answer to this question no matter what. Ever since he died, the system in his brain seemed to have disappeared. He didn’t even know if his last mission was completed or failed... Logically speaking, it should have failed. If the mission failed, he should have been obliterated, but the problem was that he died before he was obliterated by the system. So the problem went back to the original question in an endless loop.

What he wanted to know most was: if he really resurrected after a hundred days, but was obliterated by the system because the mission failed, wouldn’t he be dying again? If he died this time, he would never be resurrected.

Xiao Tangqiu watched Bai Yushan’s team with a loaded heart against the demonized Miko Kisaragi. At this time, the newbies in the Bai Yushan team were wiped out. Although there was no burden to drag them down, their BOSS battle still suffered countless deaths and injuries. When Miko Kisaragi finally fell, there were only two girls left beside Bai Yushan.

The three girls were seriously injured and covered in blood. They were obviously the strongest three in this team. They relentlessly attacked from start to finish without stopping, thus they were also the three lucky enough to survive to the end.

After Miko Kisaragi fell, Bai Yushan looked down at the corpses of their companions on the ground. There was no expression on her pale, anemic face. There was no pain. There was only a kind of numbness. Maybe she had seen too many scenes like this.

Xiao Tangqiu looked at Bai Yushan’s numb expression from where he floated, and couldn’t help but think of Shen Yuan’s last Super S level instance. Although it’s normal to die in this cruel world, Shen Yuan’s entire team died. How was Shen Yuan’s mood at that time? Was it the same as Bai Yushan now, painful but also numb? He had no way of knowing.

Bai Yushan and the other two survivors stood in front of their companions’ bodies in mourning for a moment, and then Bai Yushan coldly said, “Do it.”

Xiao Tangqiu was taken aback for a moment. Do it? Do what?

The next moment, he saw Bai Yushan take out a delicate small wooden box and opened it. There was a transparent bead in the small wooden box which looked just like a glass bead. But he subconsciously felt that this bead was very unusual.

The girl closest to Bai Yushan couldn’t help but speak, “Sister Shan, the Soul Gathering Beads are used to deal with ghost NPCs in instances... Are we really going to do this?”

Bai Yushan spoke calmly, “How can I know the result without trying?”

The girl sighed and turned her head.

Xiao Tangqiu was stunned. Soul Gathering Beads? This name sounded familiar...

He had received special training in the Reincarnation Team for a month, and his memory had always been very good. He soon recalled what it was. The Soul Gathering Bead was a special item that could condense and increase the vitality of a soul. It was said that it could save NPCs that were on the verge of death and were not sold in the system store. They could only be dropped through an instance, so the amount was scarce and extremely rare.

There were often accidents in instances. If the key NPC was killed due to the player’s carelessness, the mission was likely to fail. This was the significance of this special item, but it could only have an effect on the NPC. The special item could not bring the player back to life. An item that could resurrect players had not appeared yet.

Xiao Tangqiu didn’t believe that Bai Yushan didn’t know about this. So what exactly was she going to do with a Soul Gathering Bead?

As he was wondering, he saw Bai Yushan crouching down and placing the Soul Gathering Bead on the forehead of her companion’s corpse.

Was Bai Yushan really going to try to use the Soul Gathering Bead to revive her companion?

Xiao Tangqiu was full of doubts and could only continue to observe. But even after a few minutes, nothing happened. Bai Yushan’s companion did not resurrect, and there was no movement from the bead. It was like a common glass bead; unremarkable, bleak, and dull.

After waiting quietly for a while, Bai Yushan said calmly, “Failed.”

The other two girls glanced at each other and couldn’t help but speak up at the same time, “Sister Shan, we know that you really want to find a way to resurrect Yuru, but so far there have been no special items for resurrecting players...”

“If Yuru knows you are like this, she won’t be happy...”

Bai Yushan had a faint expression, and after a while, she said, “Let’s go back.”

The two girls suddenly realized that Bai Yushan hadn’t listened to them at all, so they could only sigh helplessly.

Xiao Tangqiu understood. It turned out that Bai Yushan was looking for a way to resurrect Bai Yuru... But even if Bai Yushan really found a way to resurrect Bai Yuru, Bai Yuru had been trapped in the instances forever. What method could Bai Yushan use to break the restrictions and rules of the instance to rescue her sister?

He didn’t understand Bai Yushan’s persistence, but he also knew that Bai Yushan didn’t need his understanding and support. He looked at Bai Yushan silently as if he was looking at himself from the past. He used to be unable to walk out from the shadow of Meng Xinghe’s death. Wasn’t Bai Yushan the same? It was just that Bai Yushan had a little more hope than he did back then, even if this hope was as hopeless as looking for a needle in the sea.

Bai Yushan watched silently as her two companions skillfully moved to collect the items of their dead companions. Watches, necklaces, rings... They could not bring the bodies of their dead companions back to the City of the Abyss, they could only take relics back as their remains to take care of.

After collecting the relics, Bai Yushan reached out with a heavy expression and picked up the Soul Gathering Bead, as if she was going to put it back in the wooden box.

Suddenly, Xiao Tangqiu’s heart jumped. That soul gathering pearl was useful for NPCs and useless for players, but he was neither a player nor an NPC... Was that useful for him?

Who cares! He had to try!

He gritted his teeth and rushed towards the soul gathering pearl...

Nothing happened.

Xiao Tangqiu tried a few more times, and finally, he suddenly saw black before his eyes, and he was sucked in by the bead.

Without waiting for him to rejoice, the bead spat him out in the next second.

Bai Yushan stared at the bead for a while, then put the bead back into the wooden box, turned, and walked towards the tunnel where they came.

Xiao Tangqiu immediately followed, and after a while, he returned to the tunnel that his was obsessed with, and once again felt the unusual magnetic field fluctuations in the tunnel.

He charged towards the place where Xue Junli’s group had disappeared in the tunnel ahead of Bai Yushan. The black vortex appeared once again out of thin air in the tunnel.

He immediately rushed towards the black vortex and was bounced out again.

Xiao Tangqiu continued to try, thrown back again and again until Bai Yushan and her companions arrived.

Seeing that Bai Yushan’s team was about to leave this place through the black vortex, he felt desperate. If he misses this opportunity again, he would be trapped in this instance again!

He gritted his teeth and charged at the small wooden box in Bai Yushan’s hands again.

At the same time, Bai Yushan unhesitantly passed through the black vortex before his eyes.
