Chapter 481: The Evil Ghost in the World - Chen De
Everyone was stunned.
Even Yuan's huge eyes flashed a trace of fluctuation, and he looked at Lin Chen's pink sack with some surprise.
Lin Chen's action was too sudden and too unexpected. No one expected that the ghost god of the underworld who was about to be annihilated would be caught in Chen's pink sack!
However, seeing that there were no further complications, everyone felt relieved.
As long as the ghosts and gods of the underworld no longer appear, it will be enough.
Moreover, in that state, they believed that the ghosts and gods were doomed to die.
Only Chong Lan had a dull look on his face, his lips trembling slightly:
"Good boy, you really do what you say."
…
The dust has settled.
An extremely huge crisis was successfully resolved due to Chen De's betrayal.
This made everyone feel like they had survived a disaster.
At the same time, they also had a question.
That is whether Chen De is a traitor or not!
If he was not a traitor, why would he invite ghosts into the country, do things that are outrageous to both humans and gods, and bring such extremely evil ghosts as the Underworld Ghost God into Blue Star?
If he was a traitor, why did he kill the ghost god at the critical moment?
Is he trying to atone for his sins? Is he trying to clear himself because he thinks he will lose?
Everyone's eyes were on Chen De, and no one relaxed completely. The giant eye in the sky was still there, which meant that the horror game had not left.
The same is true for Lin Chen.
He looked at Chen De deeply.
Chen De can be said to be his first player friend, and the first person who understood Lin Chen and provided wholehearted help to Lin Chen.
Chen De's trust in Lin Chen is unmatched by either Zhou Geng or Duan Jibo.
Deep down, Lin Chen regarded Chen De as a friend.
But Chen De’s situation was not optimistic. There was a giant eye from the horror game staring at him, and he himself had turned into half a ghost.
This half-human, half-ghost state is somewhat similar to his form as a mischievous ghost.
But the difference is essential.
Lin Chen can transform into a ghost or a human at any time, but Chen De’s condition is probably difficult to recover. Of course, this difficult does not mean absolute. At the very least, Lin Chen has an opportunity to transform a ghost into a human.
"Chen De, please turn back."
Lin Chen spoke. By now, he had understood everything and saw Chen De's determination, but he still tried to persuade him.
"I can't go back now."
Chen De shook his head. His dark pupils were unique to ghosts and not humans. They were particularly eerie, but at this moment, he smiled at Lin Chen.
One of his feet had already stepped into the abyss, but he still treated Lin Chen with a normal attitude.
"Ghosts are imperfect, humans are the right path. The Blue Planet is not that precarious. With me here, we can withstand everything." Lin Chen said seriously.
Chen De smiled bitterly and said, "But there is more than just one ghost god in the horror world..."
This is a fact.
One ghost god has already used up almost all of Blue Star's top cards. What if there is another ghost god holding a fragment of the reincarnation platform? Then Blue Star will have no chance of survival.
Even if Lin Chen goes to the mining area to call for help, it depends on the number of reincarnation platform fragments he has in his hand, and whether he is confident in lending them to the ghosts in the mining area!
"This vibrant world is too weak after all." Chen De said.
So he had to transform into a ghost, enter the horror game, take the black-clad members he killed to become copies, and use the fragments of the reincarnation platform to trade for most of the permissions, paving the way for the latecomers from Blue Star.
"Is this sacrifice worth it? Not to mention others, even the people watching the battle in the back think you are a traitor and are hostile to you." Lin Chen frowned and asked.
It is difficult to judge Chen De’s merits and demerits, but the damage he caused is real.
Even if Blue Star responded promptly to this ghost invasion, tens of thousands of people would have been harmed. These tens of thousands of people were so innocent, but Chen De also felt the pain.
Chen De, a man who sacrificed himself, became an executioner with blood on his hands. The self-blame and guilt are enough to destroy a person.
He also bears the infamy, suffers from abuse, and more misunderstandings, and eventually pays with his own life, turning himself into a disgusting evil spirit, sacrificing his soul and becoming a puppet of a horror game.
Their conversation was not interrupted at all, and the giant-eyed incarnation of the horror game was also very calm. The complexity of emotions when a person jumped into the abyss was more attractive to him than simply killing a ghost.
"It's nothing."
All the costs were just a few words from Chen De's mouth.
But his trembling hands let Lin Chen know that his heart was not as calm as it was now.
"You know, I once had a son who was extremely talented. He received an SS-level score the first time he entered a dungeon. I was very proud of him and thought that the emergence of him and more geniuses would speed up the pace of human growth, help us conquer more dungeons, and dispel the haze of the world."
Chen De opened his mouth slowly, like a ghost from the underworld, giving his last words.
“But then, he died.”
Lin Chen didn't say anything. Zhou Geng had told him about this matter before, but he didn't interrupt him. Instead, he listened quietly.
The other humans and ghosts present were also silent, and only the voice of Chen De in black echoed in the scene.
"He entered the dungeon right in front of me that day, and he also agreed to take his family to a newly opened hot pot restaurant in Linjiang City after returning home."
"It was a two-star instance. He entered with the strength of a peak Red Clothes warrior and thought he could return safely."
"But after the copy ended, he never showed up again."
"This feeling is very sudden and unreal. How can a living person, whose voice and smile are still in my mind, disappear? This is hard to accept, but I have to say that this is very realistic because this is a horror game!"
"The pain of losing my son... has left a crack in my heart, but there are too many people who died in horror games, so I won't say much about it. Even when it comes to my family, I just made up a reason with many loopholes. Because of this, I completely broke up with my daughter..."
Speaking of this, Chen De couldn't help but smile, as if even the conflicts between him and his family would make him feel happy.
But this smile soon faded away.
"What I really can't accept is that the so-called genius is too fragile. He can't compare with the ghost players in the horror world, and he can't defeat the original ghost boss of the horror game . The weakness of human beings and the unchangeable ending have completely shattered all my thoughts and hopes."
"It was the powerful force that frightened me, and it was my own insignificance that made me sad. That day, I was chosen by the horror game. A special rule power gathered in my body, driving me crazy. I wanted to destroy everything, including the Blue Planet."
What?
Everyone was shocked.
The premise for the appearance of the copy is that a person with a huge psychological gap is induced by a horror game and turned into an evil ghost in the world, and dies with the people around him, becoming the original ghost in the copy.
This is something everyone knows.
But no one expected that Chen De was actually an evil ghost in the world!
"His son's death seemed like five years ago!"
"He suppressed it for five whole years?"
"I've come into contact with him, and apart from being slovenly and cynical, I've never seen any signs of him being a ghost!"
"This is impossible, how did he do it?!"
Everyone was shocked and whispered to each other.
A hint of appreciation also flashed across the giant eyes of the horror game. This appreciation was not recognition of a person, but rather like a child's love for his or her toy.
In its eyes, Chen De can be said to be one of his most perfect works in these years!
"I relied on my willpower to suppress the dark thoughts and recorded this secret in a top-secret file. I kept it for five years."
"But I know that I will die sooner or later, and I will drag many people down with me, so I built up the Black Group, the Fair Society and other forces early on to prepare for the future."
"But I didn't expect that I would accidentally obtain a fragment of the Samsara Platform, and the preciousness of this fragment is unimaginable."
"I kept researching and gradually mastered its abilities. It turns out that ghosts have resentment in their bodies, and only those with the fragments of the Samsara Platform can see this aura. I can also rely on the fragments of the Samsara Platform to absorb resentment and speed up my growth."
"Later, I met the ghosts and gods Yuan and Ming."
"They all have a great desire for the fragments of the reincarnation platform. Yuan promised me the status of a copy manager and also agreed to one more request of mine."
"The Dark Ghost God asked me to help him open the gate to Blue Star and realize his ambitions. He also promised me... what did he promise me? I forgot and didn't listen at all."
"What a stupid ghost! I was just cooperating normally, but he didn't doubt me at all. He deserves to die here."
Lin Chen understood that the ghost god of the underworld was careless. As a high and mighty ghost god, it was understandable that he did not care about the thoughts of ordinary people. The flying dragon in the sky would not consider the emotions of the ants.
But this was also the reason for his death, because what this terrifying ghost didn’t know was that human hearts are sometimes more terrifying than ghosts!
Chen De stopped whispering, his face showing nostalgia and complexity, and finally a fearless attitude.
He didn't say anything else, and everyone already knows what happened next.
His words were spoken to Lin Chen and were also a farewell to his past.
Secret guard Chen De is a traitor to Blue Star. He also wants to leave this world and enter deeper darkness to pave the way for Blue Star.
As if sensing Chen De's will, the huge eyes formed by the horror game shot out a golden light, forming a translucent light shield that enveloped Chen De.
Chen De’s body rose involuntarily, but he was not panicked, but smiled and said, “Chen, do you know why I am so good to you?”
"Don't tell me that I look like your son, otherwise I will definitely pull you down and beat you up." Lin Chen said with a dark face.
"Haha, your personality is indeed like his. He never respects me either. After all, I really don't have a decent job. No one likes this kind of temperament..."
Chen De laughed loudly, and then said: "Your appearance is a ray of light that illuminates the darkness before me. Your talent is too high. I vaguely saw it. I was looking forward to it. When I saw your first SSS score, I was more happy than when I saw my son's SS score."
"Aren't you still taking advantage of me?" Lin Chen said dissatisfiedly.
"God of Li, I am the one who proposed this hopeful title because I hope you can become that beam of light, representing the coming of dawn. I know you are afraid of being restrained, but light is free and will only dispel darkness and illuminate the world. Others will only cheer for your afterglow, not the chains that lock you up."
