"What the hell is going on? Could it be that there are any updates and changes in the game mechanics?"

The swordsman in black frowned and did not continue to approach, but maintained a certain distance.

He was carefully observing the medieval towns and streets around him, and it felt like a campfire that was completely out of place.

"Or it is said that the third layer has been guided, and what kind of scene changes will happen in the previous number of layers? But it is not right. When I guided the second layer before, I didn't see any changes in the first layer, right?"

The swordsman in black just felt it was a little strange, but he didn't raise any vigilance at the first time, let alone any defense or something.

But this cannot be blamed, because this is a town as a safe area. From the past until now, players have been reluctant to take action and huddled in the town and survived.

I didn't see any targeted measures taken by Kaedaba Akihiko, so naturally I won't be suspicious now.

It is even more impossible for someone to have a big brain and directly think of the truth about the invasion of another world.

The shadows that are constantly materializing around the campfire do not seem to be particularly large. They do not say that they are queuing up and rushing over. There is a tendency of dense people to teleport at every moment, but there is a sparse feeling.

And those who appeared were not crowded, they could only say that they had barely gathered enough twenty or thirty people for the time being.

It seems that their professions are very inconsistent, both in terms of dress and weapons, but each of them seems to carry the lights of the campfire and some heat.

It seems like a buff state is added, and the specific effect is unclear.

But after every shadow becomes a real person, the scenes around will be slightly distorted a little again.

It seemed as if the temperature of the flames had distorted the air, and the scenery in the distance seemed distorted.

"Well, this is..."

After a careful observation of the swordsman in black, he could see some of the names.

It seems that these strange "npcs" are part of a certain scene projection, and each person in turn is carrying the role of a "projection node". Whenever an extra person comes, the scene projection that seems to come from another world far away is clearer.

The light source that caused the projection seemed to be the most central campfire, replacing the original location where the portal was located.

And around it, the area that was gradually covered by projections is slowly expanding.

The general outline can be seen vaguely. It seems to be a huge sacrificial ground, surrounded by magnificent and dilapidated structures, domes, stairs, and vaguely huge thrones on the front, but not one, but at least four or five...

The throne is basically empty, and there seems to be only one of them with a very thin figure, which is unclear.

There are also other figures around the sacrificial ground. Someone gradually disappeared by touching the spiral sword inserted obliquely in the campfire, and the space on this side became solidified.

There are also some figures just standing quietly or sitting upright on the steps around them. They are motionless and silently watching all this happen.

“…”

“…”

The swordsman in black frowned, and he became increasingly confused about what was going on. Of course, he didn't doubt anything, but just took it for granted to guess what the truth behind such a phenomenon was based on normal logical thinking.

Is this opening a new map or a new feature, or is it simply setting up a new game mechanism in the safe zone?

But Akihiko Kaedaba didn't even send a notice, which was a bit too much, right? And now a month has passed, and the player has only reached the third level, and it is still far from the 100th level. He shouldn't have caused trouble so quickly!

Moreover, if the portals of the town are replaced, wouldn’t it be very inconvenient? This is the same status as the core hub of each layer of the transportation network. If it is gone, it will definitely cause great inconvenience to players.

I just don’t know what mechanism Kayaba Akihiko plans to use to replace the functional mechanism of the Portal Square.

But as he was thinking, those who quietly moved through the campfire seemed to have noticed his spying.

The whistling sound suddenly sounded! It seemed to be the sharp tearing sound of cutting the air!

A cold light flashed by, and sparks burst out from the intertwined blades first, and then suddenly bounced back!

“…!!”

The black-clothed swordsman who rolled on the spot and then opened the distance from a distance all sweated coldly. If he hadn't had any experience and had no friend in this game, he had developed a high degree of vigilance as a Maverick.

Then I was afraid that I would have been killed by a sword just now - if someone else came, I would not be able to react at all.

The person opposite was a knight wearing armor and armed with all his body. He held a shield in his left hand and a sword in his right hand. His face was also protected by the armor. He could not even see clearly whether it was a man or a woman.

However, that cold and fierce aura cannot be faked at all.

There is also the quick charge and attack just now, all of which are done in one go, not only with precision and ruthlessness, but also with fierceness and fierceness!

"You... are hateful!"

The black-clothed swordsman quickly retreated and pulled a long distance. He subconsciously wanted to say something, but then he found that he could not say anything.

"The remaining ash without fire"...

These people are definitely not players, and they should not be NPCs, because the words displayed on each person's head are the same... They are all named without names and have only one common name.

Isn’t this the most common sense thing, a human-like group or a group of monsters designed to be civilized?!

But these are not the key points. The key points are why the monsters refreshed and appeared in the safe zone? Moreover, the attack just now completely subverted his common sense. Can you actually take action in the safe zone?!

This is not true! It is really inappropriate... Could it be that Akihiko Kaedaba intends to kill him?!

I vaguely thought of something. The swordsman in black felt a chill and creepy on his back. He didn't know the specifics, but he knew that it might be a change of time again.

Perhaps the troubles and shock of what is happening now is definitely not much weaker than the day when the server was officially launched.

But he couldn't do anything for the time being. The knight in front was approaching step by step. Behind him were several of them holding weapons, slowly surrounding them... Yu Hui, who was not fire.

If it weren't for other monsters that seemed to be unable to move around at will and were standing there, I'm afraid they would rush forward now.

But even though they were motionless, they turned their heads one after another, and the cold gaze they cast towards here made the swordsman in black feel cold all over.

——Are these really just monsters simulated by data? They are just virtual stereoscopic image objects, and the AI ​​program is manipulating their behavior?

Why did he suddenly feel that these so-called ashes seem to be real existences with corresponding entities, and their spiritual thinking is not a program, but a real soul?

"Um...Damn it!"

The swordsman in black turned around decisively, then rushed to the fullest, and continued to stay here. No matter how strong he was, he would be killed by a random knife.

Besides, the current situation is so wrong, he must notify other players to avoid greater consequences.

The knight did not hesitate and immediately carried the shield in his left hand behind him. The double-held knight's sword accelerated and began to chase the enemy. The same was true for the ashes behind him, and he began to run wildly with his weapons.

Agility and agility, speed and speed vary, but the knight in armor is naturally not too weak, so he cannot be much slower, but he is tightly hung on the swordsman in black.

They are all ashes from another world, eager for "fire firewood" - that is, "fire firewood" that can continue to burn and ignite the fire of continuous fire for their world!

To put it more specifically, that is, only human nature and soul can become the fuel of the first fire. Since the first king of fire Gwyn, many noble kings have continued the first fire-

Use themselves as firewood and burn everything to make their world continue.

However, in the long cycle of reincarnation and the times, the whole world has been squeezed over and over again, and there is no more firewood to continue to invest... Even if it is repeatedly used, the first fire has become weakened irresistibly.

The sun once burning, but now it is just a candle in the wind, so weak that it can barely continue the world and the age of fire.

So - need to plunder! need to invade! need to gain more!

Even if the whole of another world is plundered as firewood and put it into the initial stove to burn it out, as long as the initial fire can be rekindled and the light shines on the world again, then everything is worth it!

Beyond good and evil, just for survival... Just like the natural choice between creatures, the law of survival can also appear between the world!

So, kill as much as you like! Plunder it as you like! For the sake of the continuation of your own world, you will seize more souls and more firewood!

No mercy, no sigh.

No sympathy or soft-hearted.

In the eyes of the immortals, this is the real "apocalypse", and it is the last glimmer of vitality in their world at the end...

So, everything is prey, everything is firewood!

Therefore, there is no possibility of negotiation from the beginning. They only have the idea of ​​killing the prey on the other side, take away their humanity and soul, and send it back as firewood.

...

...

"Run! Run quickly—! Danger here!"

The swordsman in black was not so stupid that he ran back and went back to take a picture of the door. Not to mention whether he could wake up the people in the room without permission. The risk of being blocked alone was enough to make him give up this idea.

He was just running wildly on the street, hoping to meet players who also got up early in the morning and remind them without their knowledge.

Several players had just turned out of the street corner in front, and then heard his yelling sound, looked at it subconsciously, and then discovered the identity of the person who was shouting.

Then--

"What, isn't this the corruption ban?"

"What is he doing?"
