Monsters Will Die if They Are Killed

【whether】

The girl who was about to go to bed stared blankly at the window that appeared in front of her computer screen. Her big bright eyes were full of doubts. She seemed to be thinking about the true meaning of these words, and seemed to be experiencing some kind of wonderful feeling in them. Inspiration.

Then, there is neglect.

"What kind of advertising pop-ups are there... Never mind it, go to sleep first."

Not paying attention to what appeared on his computer, Shao Shuangyue was so sleepy that he lay down directly on his back, rolled up the quilt, wrapped himself into a worm shape, and fell asleep accurately within three seconds of his head touching the pillow.

Sweet dreams.

Immediately afterwards, when she woke up the next morning, Shao Shuangyue was trapped in a black hole-like quilt and couldn't get out. After urgently calling her mother, she was criticized by Aunt Wen again, "You are so old, why are you talking to a primary school student?" Sleep the same! ’ After that, I hurriedly finished my breakfast and went to class with my schoolbag.

The computer that was not turned off fell into hibernation and became motionless.

In the evening, Shao Shuangyue, who had finished practicing in the Reiki class, hurriedly started writing homework. While writing, she complained, "Why do I need to write about my spiritual practice?" ’ ‘I’ve obviously asked Brother Zhou and Brother, and they all said this. Why would I be criticized for being unrealistic when I wrote it? ’ Such words.

She still didn't touch the computer.

The days passed. Because of the overly heavy studies and the countdown to the Holy Election, even the playful Shao Shuangyue became serious. She even only logged in every day for mobile games, and at most used her mobile phone to check information, let alone He said he was going to touch the computer.

She completely forgot about the pop-up window.

So, it’s late at night again.

While Shao Shuangyue was sleeping, the computer that had been in a dormant state suddenly started up and lit up with a faint blue light. On top of it, the seemingly ordinary pop-up window was flashing with a mysterious light.

The light was so dazzling that it even woke up Shao Shuangyue.

"Um...what the hell, it's dawn so early?"

After standing up and rubbing his eyes, Shao Shuangyue turned his head sleepily and looked at his desk: "Eh... no, that's my computer?!"

Suddenly awakened, the girl opened her eyes wide. She yawned in confusion and stood up, wearing slippers and walking towards the extremely bright computer screen: "What on earth is going on?"

Then, she took a serious look at the two lines of words on the screen.

[Want to go to higher places, set foot further, and become stronger? 】

【Want to know the meaning of life? 】

In an instant, a heartfelt sense of understanding bursts out from the deepest part of the soul and spreads throughout the body and soul.

——Want to go higher and farther and become stronger?

Of course, of course!

why not?

Shao Shuangyue was born into a wealthy family.

Because of the war that took place in the world in the middle of the 20th century, oil production in the central part of the world island suffered a huge blow. Countries around the world were forced to develop new new energy sources and increase investment in various new energy fields.

The Shao family is the lucky one standing at the edge of the times and has achieved success in the true sense.

Originally, a wealthy and powerful family should make Shao Shuangyue feel very safe, and even become a literal little princess - in theory, with such a family background and the favor of two older brothers, The girl can even be considered a half-Mary Sue, a daughter of a rich man in the true sense.

But in fact, it's the complete opposite.

Ever since Shao Shuangyue became sensible, she has lived in a kind of vague fear and helplessness.

Her mother, who has limited mobility, her brother who is physically weak, and her father who is away from home all the time, even though he is rich, has an extremely low-key and non-ostentatious lifestyle, all of which are extremely restrained, making the little girl feel extremely uneasy.

Mom can't take care of herself, she can only tell herself some stories and touch her head.

My brother couldn't help him either. Sometimes he wanted to help him get something from a high place, but he stretched out his hand too hard and pulled out his lungs.

His father is the only support, but he is the backbone of the family. Although he has stood on the forefront of the times and gained huge wealth, this wealth comes from official policies. He must do his best to keep up with the times, otherwise , companies that rely on new energy technology will quickly capsize under the tide of the times - he cannot stay, and can only go home occasionally and hug his daughter.

Even, for some reason, the Shao family rarely lets their children go out to play, as if they are afraid that some force from the outside world will hurt them... Shao Shuangyue has only been able to stay in her own home since she was a child, otherwise she would not be able to see him at all. I was in a daze watching TV programs that I understood, or dozing off while reading books that I couldn’t understand at all.

Everything was so dead, disturbing, helpless, and without any sense of security.

In addition to Aunt He, there is also Su Zhou.

Aunt He is the mainstay of the family, a real member of the Shao family, a kind-hearted aunt. Her existence prevents the Shao family from becoming extremely silent like the Western European castles in horror stories, only occasionally There was a little coughing, but instead there were enthusiastic and slightly nagging shouts, as well as the sounds of northern cross talk.

Su Zhou's existence brought real vitality to this family.

"Let's go, Qiming, let's go out and play - I heard a few days ago that there is a drowned ghost wandering by the river. It sounds so pitiful. Let's go see if we can help him out."

"Huh? Little sister, you want to go too? That's not possible. You're too young. It's very dangerous to go to the river... How about this? I'll come back and play games with you, okay?"

"Don't you know what a game is? Hey, Qiming, what's going on, you just let my little sister stare at the TV alone at home every day? Your family is rich, buy some game consoles for your little sister!"

To be honest, this scene still leaves a deep impression on Shao Shuangyue to this day.

After all, that's when she started getting into Nintendo's GBA games - God, that guy is simply a devil. He just recommended Pokémon X to a six- or seven-year-old girl. He even recommended Super Machine X. Human Wars, Rancho X Language and various other games have completely distorted a girl who should theoretically be a gothic yandere girl or a girl from classical literature into a girl who now only wants to play Animal Crossing and curses GF Factory. The game is useless.

But to be honest, this could not completely cover up Shao Shuangyue's uneasiness.

The existence of the game, Su Zhou and Aunt He only concealed her helpless nature - after all, if she wasn't really afraid of the outside world, she wouldn't still be immersed in the game until now, always unwilling to Interact with the outside world.

Because the fear of the unknown, the distance, and things outside the fortress of 'family' still exists in Shao Shuangyue's heart.

But now, the light emerging from the computer screen made Shao Shuangyue face the fear in her heart.

In particular, it reveals the essence behind this fear.

--Yes. Staying in the known realm is comfortable and peaceful, and provides a sense of security.

This is why Shao Shuangyue chooses to stay at home and play games, because she lacks a sense of security in everything. Her father, mother, and brothers cannot provide her with support. She has no confidence to explore the unknown and distant places. She can only choose to stay at home and explore the virtual world. world.

Here, the game can always be cleared, and distant places can always be reached. When faced with a wrong path, if you choose the wrong file and come back again, the enemies are also virtual data and cannot pose a real threat to people.

Anyway, the Shao family is indeed rich, and living their lives like this will naturally lead to happiness and comfort.

However, the era of spiritual recovery has arrived. Can I really be sheltered under the wings of my elders and live a comfortable life like in the past?

The two brothers have already stepped onto the dazzling stage of their own lives. Do you just stay at the bottom of the stage and watch them perform?

【You are not satisfied with this kind of life. 】

During the recollection, Shao Shuangyue seemed to hear such a voice.

【You play games because you want to explore a new world. When you pursue achievement, you want to achieve your goals. When you compete with others in the arena and ladder, you want to confirm the fact that you are stronger. You look like you are playing, but in fact you are just venting your true desires in the virtual world. 】

This voice did not come from any external place, but came from the depths of Shao Shuangyue's heart - it was the voice of her soul itself.

——The unattainable goal is my goal, the circuitous road is the road I want to take, and every break always brings new yearnings.

The subtitle appeared again on the screen in front of the girl.

[Want to go to higher places, set foot further, and become stronger? 】

【Want to know the meaning of life? 】

"I……"

Stepping forward, she raised her hand spontaneously and touched the mouse. At this time, Shao Shuangyue had not been brainwashed, nor had she been forced to instill any other people's ideas - she truly felt something coming from deep within her heart. From the true ripples of the soul, I received the inspiration of a great being from an unknown distance, and then made my own choice.

Soon, the mouse moved to the option where [Yes] was located on the screen.

It seemed about to click.

But, as luck would have it, when Shao Shuangyue stepped forward, he accidentally stepped on a Lego cube on the ground.

"Alas!!!!!"

The pain of that moment penetrated the beginning of the world, the end of the original darkness, and even the end of the avenue. In an instant, the girl almost screamed in pain, forcing her body to soften and sit on her gaming chair.

And just as she was shaking her head with tears in her eyes, she also saw a bottle of lunar soil placed in front of her desk, several warhammer models, and a Blade of Destruction mold knife in the display cabinet next to it.

This immediately made Shao Shuangyue feel blessed and completely broke away from the previous 'enlightenment state'.

"Fuck, what happened to me just now? Why did my mood suddenly become so pure and my consciousness so high?!"

The throbbing from the heart disappeared, and Shao Shuangyue's thinking returned to human nature, not purely lofty ideals.

She immediately looked at the computer screen in front of her with lingering fear. She raised her hands above her head in a French pose. Her eyes were full of joy: "This thing, this thing made me feel like a saint in an instant! What kind of personal danger, personal danger?" Don’t consider your desires, just follow your ideals! It doesn’t even matter whether you can achieve it or not, the most important thing is to start taking action!”

"Yes, I admit that my ideals in my heart are indeed very high, and I really want to catch up with the achievements of my two brothers, and don't want to be left behind by them... But, thinking about it, now I am practicing happily and freely. Isn’t life wonderful? I may change my mind in the future and want to go on adventures beyond myself, but now I am only a high school student and not yet a minor. Is it too early to realize my dream? "

Talking to himself like this, Shao Shuangyue looked at the computer screen in front of him and suddenly became extremely vigilant - there is nothing more dangerous than anything that can affect people's hearts.

But after searching for a long time, she couldn't find a way to close the pop-up box. She could only choose to shut down the computer and muttered in a low voice: "In this day and age, computer viruses are so scary. They can actually be brainwashed. I don't know." Will I lose a lot of money if I click on it, or will I be hypnotized into a puppet?"

"...No, I have to ask Brother Zhou to come over tomorrow to take a look. This is too dangerous!"

Thinking of the horrific plots in various books, the girl immediately trembled, then got back into bed and started to sleep, hoping to forget this incident.

However, what Shao Shuangyue didn't know was.

When she ignored this pop-up box and studied diligently every day.

Maybe it's the mobile phone, maybe it's the computer, maybe it's the fog that appears on the mirror when washing your face, maybe it's the waves on the water when you're fishing.

The same words and the same choice appeared in front of more people.

Then, it’s time to choose to move forward, or to stagnate.

Zhengguo, the ancestral home of the Weiwu clan, is in a small mountain town in the north of Tiandu.

A young man who was practicing diligently in his training room, honing his body and martial arts skills, completely exhausted his last bit of energy and collapsed in his own sweat.

In front of his training room, a TV screen was playing a loop showing Su Zhou's power during his actions in the Beast God Realm, as well as his terrifying true form when facing the Tallinn and Crow people.

He can easily change the celestial phenomena and destroy everything at will.

Even countries must treat it with caution, and even aliens and people from other worlds must tremble because of it.

Faced with this power...does it make sense to work hard?

A young man named Ma Jing stared at the scenes playing on the screen in a puddle formed by his own sweat.

He was the same age as Su Zhou, and he might have had a relationship with each other in the past, but no matter what, he and Su Zhou were in two different worlds now.

Faced with a talent gap as wide as heaven and earth, hard work seems to be in vain.

"But if you don't work hard, it really means nothing."

Thinking of this, the young man gritted his teeth. He absorbed the spiritual energy from the surrounding atmosphere, injected it into his muscles and bones, and began a painful and scorching internal circulation...Pain, pain is right, pain is the mentor of will, the guide to success. This does not mean that pain is right, but if you don’t experience pain, let alone being right, even failure will be out of reach.

It was not because he wanted to chase the invisible shadow. The reason why Ma Jing played Su Zhou's video in a loop was just to warn himself.

That is, if a person cannot defeat himself, it will be even less possible for him to catch up with others.

Higher, faster, stronger - not to catch up with others, but to surpass yourself, explore the original horizon, and then discover a new horizon.

So, when Ma endured the extreme pain of his body and slowly raised his body from the ground with his hands, he saw such ripples floating in his sweat that the words appeared in his eyes. In front of you.

[Want to go to higher places, set foot further, and become stronger? 】

【Want to know the meaning of life? 】

"Are there any other options?"

After a brief period of confusion, he knew clearly that this choice was wrong and very weird, but Ma actually laughed out loud: "Of course I want to!"

This is his belief.

——I will do my best to move forward at all costs. Either die or transcend yourself. If one day, I stop, it means that I am dead, just bones in the grave.

A drop of sweat fell and clicked on 'yes'.

Then, a figure disappeared from the earth.

Southeast sea area, Tianchi boundary area, the entrance and exit of the two boundaries,

The dark blue long-haired boy lying on his back in the sea stared at the moonlight above the sea with a confused expression, floating with the current.

The true dragon boy's strength at this time is only one step away from the leadership level. He is located at the entrance and exit of the spiritual energy of the two realms, which is equivalent to being in the best cave heaven paradise. He originally has the inheritance of the earth immortals, and he is still very smart among the earth immortals. He can almost Jiu Ming, who was said to be destined to become a heavenly immortal, inherited from the Dragon King of Tianchi, knew that his future was bright and clear.

But he still felt confused.

Yes, I have strength, inheritance, name, and territory, and the Zhengguo side treats me very well. It may not be impossible for me to become the new governor of the Tianchi realm in the future. Although I have no interest at all, money With power and practice, he can have whatever he wants.

The handsome young man felt that his dragon life had been completed, not to mention that he was originally just a sea cucumber - God, who in the whole world can have such luck? From sea cucumbers to real dragons, there is only one between heaven and earth, right?

Ah, no, there is also the one who was shown the power of Tao-like transformation by Tianchi Dragon King... But that one is his descendant. In the future, he will have to act as a master and accept disciples, so there is no need to care too much.

In general, he doesn't have to worry about anything. He can grow up naturally and become the overlord of a party.

"But what's the point?"

Thinking of this, the real dragon boy closed his blue dragon eyes. He whispered to himself: "I am a dragon - I should not be a sea cucumber that is content just by crawling around on the bottom of the sea."

"I am a dragon. What I should pursue is a broader sea, a broader sky, and a more boundless world."

"This future where everything is already determined, even though it looks so perfect, is as uncomfortable as fate... I want more possibilities and explore more unknowns..."

Although he said this, Jiu Ming also knew very well that he could not do this.

Having been canonized as the Dragon King of the South China Sea, his duty is to guard the South China Sea for the Zhengguo official, manage sea beasts, and suppress the Tianchi realm - and the Zhengguo official will also be responsible for his practice, his future, and his rights.

Perhaps in the future, one day, after completing my responsibilities, I can freely explore the seven seas of heaven, earth, and stars.

With such expectations for the future, Jiu Ming opened his eyes.

Then, he saw the words appearing in front of him.

more and more.

Except what happens outside these places, the same thing happens all over the world.

Throughout the earth, hundreds of extremely bizarre disappearances have occurred in just a short period of time.

And all of this has nothing to do with Su Zhou, who has finished his duties in Tiandu and returned to his hometown to rest.

2018, April 10.

The fifth day when Su Zhou led the Qingqiu people back to Earth was also the second day after the intense and exciting debriefing in Tiandu and the overlord level test.

These things can be discussed later. For today's young people, the most important thing is to cultivate themselves well - and Zhengguo officials also recommend this, especially since they know that Su Zhou actually killed a billion by himself. When the ashes of the above-mentioned demons are overflowing on the Qingqiu Star, I hope that the other party will take good care of themselves and stop moving.

——Su Zhoubie was killed because the officials were afraid.

"Aunt Wen, Aunt He, I'm a guest!"

"It's strange, they're not here yet? Did you go out to bask in the sun?"

Because there was no one at home, Su Zhou, who just went to the Criminal Investigation Department to see his father's work, did not choose to go home. Instead, he turned around and ran to the Shao family mansion as a guest.

Wearing a hat made of Chongming bird feathers, he walked toward the door humming a tune.

Out of politeness, Su Zhou did not deliberately use his spiritual power and otherworldly indifference to detect the people in the house. It was not until he knocked on the door that he discovered that only Shao Shuangyue's room was occupied in the entire house.

It's not surprising that Uncle Shao is not here. After all, he was seen in Tiandu yesterday having a meeting with officials from the Ministry of Energy. It's not surprising that Shao Qiming is not here. After all, he was drinking tea and chatting with him in Xijing eight hours ago, but Aunt He and Aunt Wen If they are not there, it can only mean that the two of them are probably going shopping - this extremely energetic woman has basically never stopped since Aunt Wen got better.

In this case, there is no other choice.

Skillfully taking out the key - don't ask why Su Zhou had the Shao family's key - he opened the door of the Shao family's mansion: "Then I'm in!"

But it was strange that even if Su Zhou spoke so loudly, Shao Shuangyue did not respond, which made the young man a little confused: "Are you wearing headphones to play games? It's almost the Holy Election and you are still playing games, no way."

Thinking of this, he stepped lightly and prepared to knock on Shao Shuangyue's door hard to scare her - just like he had done occasionally in the past.

"Thump, thump, thump!"

However, when Su Zhou arrived on the second floor and knocked hard on the door, what the young man welcomed was not the angry little girl he expected, cursing and releasing fragrance, but a timid girl with a frightened face who opened the door on her own initiative.

"Zi, Brother Zhou, I just wanted to call you -"

As soon as she opened the door, Shao Shuangyue didn't say anything nonsense. She dodged and hid behind Su Zhou, then stretched out her hand tremblingly and pointed at her computer: "That thing, that computer virus, can't be removed at all!"

"It's so scary. I've never seen such a supernatural phenomenon. Even the exorcism spell can't drive it away. Turning off the phone doesn't work. It's like seeing a ghost!"

This immediately left Monk Su Zhouzhang scratching his head: "What the hell, what kind of computer virus, and even supernatural phenomena have appeared."

"Let Brother Zhou give you Kangkang."

Having said this, Su Zhou stepped forward with great confidence - no matter what supernatural phenomenon or special computer virus it was, could it be possible that it could also infect an earthly immortal? Not to mention computer viruses, even thinking viruses, the ashes of the King of Demons were scattered by him, mixed with volcanic ash, and spread across the entire planet.

It’s all trivial!

But when he actually saw the two lines of large characters on the computer screen, the young man immediately frowned, and his eyes changed from relaxed to extremely serious.

"This, Pioneer?!"

Although he had never fought against the Pioneer's dependents, he had met the Pioneer himself. Su Zhou knew the opponent's power and the nature of "correctness" very well.

The two paragraphs in front of me are undoubtedly the core of the other party's philosophy.

"Aha."

At the same time, feeling that something was wrong, Yala also got a snake head out from under the hat. He also stared at the screen, couldn't help but nodded, and the soul sent a message: "Good guy, isn't this the common way for pioneers to select dependents? ?”

"Familia?" Su Zhou communicated with Yala in his mind: "With this question and answer selection, can we select the Familia?"

"No, to be precise, if you choose Yes, then it is equivalent to agreeing with the concept of the Pioneer - Generally speaking, the existence that chooses Yes will be pulled into a central space that spans many worlds, and then there will be another battle. An adventure into the unknown.”

After answering in such detail, Snake Spirit narrowed his eyes and carefully looked at the computer screen in front of him: "The more areas you explore, the more advanced your clan will be."

"Explorers, adventurers, forerunners, pioneers - until the last 'pioneering', the pioneer's family system is so simple and easy to understand, and he has always been generous and will provide various convenient ways for his family to become stronger - —After all, without getting stronger, even His dependents will find it difficult to persevere in the increasingly difficult and unknown exploration."

Withdrawing his gaze, Yala retracted her head into her hat, and said lazily: "This little sister of yours, in a sense, does desire to become stronger and explore distant places - Pioneers never choose unsuitable people, but Whenever He initiates a choice, it means that the other party is indeed a suitable family member for Him."

"But to be honest, that fellow Pioneer has always believed that 'exploring the unknown naturally involves sacrifice', and has never shied away from death or failure. Anyway, as long as it is exploration, even failure is great, and death is a well-deserved and aboveboard death. .”

Don't believe Yala's words at all. Anyway, if this guy wants to fight, he can find fault even in the perfect world created by God. Su Zhou has never really trusted the other party in this regard.

The young man just stared at the options in front of him and said thoughtfully: "What will happen if I click 'Yes'?"

Yesterday’s second update was a bit long, so late, sorry.

But I still ask for a monthly ticket!
