Chapter 570 - Human nature (1)
Chapter 570: Human nature (1)
The world of Raging Sea.
Ling Ping’an walked casually.
When he encountered a colony’s port, he destroyed it with one blow.
When he encountered a ship on the sea, he flipped it over with one palm.
When he encountered a sea monster or ghost, he killed it with a flick of his finger!
He was like a human destruction machine that walked on its own.
He was carrying out a dimensional reduction attack on this pitiful Nightmare World.
Huang Qin watched from the side, trembling with fear.
Finally, he destroyed another ship and looked at the debris floating on the surface of the sea.
Huang Qin couldn’t help but ask, “Mister, are you going to destroy this Nightmare World?”
Ling Ping’an shook his head, “I don’t know…”
This was the truth.
He didn’t know. He had always been following his heart.
In his eyes, the natives of this world were just like the soldiers he had encountered when he was playing in the canyon.
They were killed and destroyed.
They quickly dissipated like bubbles.
They were just souls without consciousness.
They were just materials used for construction.
They were like concrete and steel.
Their life trajectories had long been fixed in a script.
They could only follow the story compiled in the Realm of Nightmare and sink into this illusory bubble world repeatedly.
Every time the cycle of reincarnation started, they would forget everything from the past.
Everything they did here was like a movie.
A movie that had already been filmed!
The only difference was that every plot had minor adjustments.
Therefore, Ling Ping’an didn’t know why he was here?
He also felt a little bored.
Suddenly…
He remembered something and turned to Huang Qin who was beside and asked, “What was the main mission of this world again?”
Huang Qin carefully exhaled his Nightmare Imprint. After checking it, he answered obediently, “My main mission has changed to find Wang Gui!”
Wang Gui was the soul of the main character in the movie.
He was the descendant of a refugee from the central plains.
He was a young man who had been brought to this distant foreign land by the people of Francois.
“Wang Gui?” Ling Ping’an thought for a while, “Let’s go and find him!”
Since he was bored, he shall go and have some fun!
Huang Qin was happy and replied, “Alright!”
His main mission had changed several times.
The base reward of 500 points had increased to 5,000 points, a tenfold increase!
This meant that as long as he could find Wang Gui, he would be able to get 5,000 points!
With the current price of the point certificate, it was equivalent to a few thousand dollars.
Although he could not buy the best house in Jiangcheng City, along Jianshe Road.
But in the city center, he could afford a four-bedroom apartment without any pressure.
…
Ito Sasuke sat on the reef.
He sighed slightly, “Wang Gui is really hard to deal with!”
He looked at his main mission: Escape from Doba!
The place where he was now was called Doba.
It was a colony of Britannia.
Its main business was sugarcane cultivation.
The Butanians kidnapped thousands of Kunlun slaves from the Kunlun State and brutally oppressed and exploited them here.
As for the natives?
They had long been massacred!
As the main character of this Nightmare World, Wang Gui had been kidnapped from Luzon by the people of Francois at the start of the plot!
The reason was clear in the movie.
As Great Xia had risen up, Taizu had built warships and valued the navy.
The colonists of Luzon, Johor, Samboja, and Ceylon were shocked repeatedly!
They had no choice!
It was unfortunate that these places were protected by the Central Plains in the past.
The Comfort Department of the old port of the previous dynasty had replaced the emperor of the Central Plains to take care of the four regions.
Although the Comfort Department of the old port had long become history.
But who dared to forget it?
Seeing the rise of the eastern giants, the fleet increased day by day.
Feeling guilty, Luzon, Johor, and other places set off a wave of capturing of the Xia people.
As long as they were Xia people, even those who were related to Xia people were regarded as unstable factors were hunted, sold, and enslaved.
Wang Gui was one of the tens of millions of innocent people.
At the beginning of the movie, the scene came from Francois, which unloaded hundreds of tortured and dying Xia people on Doba Island.
Wang Gui was one of them.
His awakening and resistance were also the main storylines of the movie.
But the problem was…
In the past, those who came to this Nightmare World were mostly for benefits.
There weren’t many people who were willing to go through Wang Gui’s lines.
These few people worked hard for a long time and got very little reward.
As a result, more and more people weren’t willing to go through Wang Gui’s storylines.
That was why Ito Sasuke and the others worked hard on Doba Island for a long time but still couldn’t find the main character.
It wasn’t just because of the different storylines in the Nightmare World.
It was also because the Nightmare World had changed beyond recognition.
The natives of the island were all legends.
Terrifying demons were roaming on the surface of the sea.
Many ships had been destroyed by them, and some ports had been torn apart by their evil strength.
As a result, the island had been put on full lockdown.
The governor sent by the Butanians brought his guards and patrolled everywhere.
Ito Sasuke couldn’t find a chance to enter the plantation deep in the heart of the island and look for Wang Gui!
The reason was very simple.
The governor of Doba had a major-level dark wizard under him.
With this person around, not only did Ito Sasuke not dare to move, even the team from the Longevity Group was completely suppressed.
This was also why Wang Gui was so difficult to deal with.
Wang Gui had the protagonist’s backing, so he could naturally charge around without any scruples.
However, outsiders like them could bump into those experts from the Nightmare World.
That major rank dark wizard was already someone they could not deal with.
Not to mention that there were hundreds of Britannia musketeers on Doba Island.
Thinking of this, Ito Sasuke sighed again.
If this continued, the main mission would be impossible to complete.
And they would also be trapped in this Nightmare World.
It was still alright for rookies. Nightmare World had a rookie protection mechanism. Once their lives were threatened, they would be activated.
But for a veteran like him who relied on props to enter, he would probably have to take out a nightmare prop worth tens of thousands of points to escape!
Suddenly…
Ito Sasuke’s eyes saw two shadows in the sea, stepping on the waves and approaching at high speed.
His eyes were wide open, “Mr. X!”
The two shadows ignored him and stepped on the waves, heading straight for the port.
Bang!
A mushroom cloud rose in the sky above the port.
Ito Sasuke gulped as he didn’t know how to describe his feelings at this moment.
To destroy a port with one blow!
This was the might of a general’s full strength!
But in the hands of Mr. X, it was just a casual move.
He didn’t know how strong that Mr. X had become!?
Then, Ito Sasuke immediately came to a realization.
“Wang Gui!”
Yes!
Mr. X came here with only one purpose: to look for the main character, Wang Gui.
He was also the target of their main mission.
Ito Sasuke immediately sent an order to everyone in his team through the Nightmare Imprint, “Head to the plantation immediately!
If they were too late…
They wouldn’t be able to take part in the main mission.
…
Ling Ping’an brought Huang Qin to a plantation in the heart of the island.
At this moment, the entire plantation was in a mess.
The surging crowd was surrounding a wooden stockade wall.
Huang Qin looked at it and said to Ling Ping’an, “Mister, we came at the right time!”
“There was such a plot in the movie!”
“The main character, Wang Gui, became sworn brothers with the enslaved Kunlun loyalist and then launched an uprising, killing the supervisors and guards of the plantation…”
Ling Ping’an nodded. He had seen that movie before, but he had no impression of it.
That was because it was just a popcorn movie.
The entire time, the main character was cheating.
For example, the moment he got to the island, he received the help of the loyalist of Kunlun State.
For example, when the main character and the loyalist of Kunlun State simply talked about the benevolence and morality of the Central Plains, the loyalist understood it. Then, the crowd became excited and fought against the colonists together with the main character. From then on, they never left.
This was too brainless.
However…
It didn’t matter!
Ling Ping’an gently raised his hand, and the encircled fortress wall shattered into pieces.
Then, he looked at the people who were stunned by his sudden appearance.
The black-skinned people of Kunlun.
There were also easterners like him.
These people held pitchforks, sticks, and stones in their hands. Most of them were in ragged clothes.
Only a few of them held flintlocks in their hands.
Ling Ping’an looked at them and suddenly had an idea.
“Human nature?” he thought.
Therefore, he asked, “Who is Wang Gui?”
A burly man walked out from the crowd.
He had a buzz cut like Ling Ping’an and was about 1.8m tall. He looked powerful.
“I am Wang Gui!” he was a little nervous but also a little excited. He cupped his hands and asked, “May I ask if the two immortals descended from the nine heavens?”
Ling Ping’an stroked the cat in his arms and said, “Immortals? You could say that!”
Wang Gui immediately bowed and said, “Please accept my bow!”
Although he was kowtowing, his tone was still firm, and his expression was calm, neither servile nor overbearing!
This was also the standard for the main characters of movies and TV series before they rose to fame.
Almost all of the main characters could be found with the shadow of Song Jiang, Xiang Yu, Liu Bei, and Cao Cao.
All of them were timely, and all of them were like Seru Bu.
In a certain movie, there was even a double-armed machine gun that killed a fierce man who went in and out of the camp of thousands of enemies.
Unfortunately…
In the current generation, such a main character was rarely seen.
Aesthetic fatigue was one aspect, but celebrities were another. After all, celebrities had delicate bodies. What kind of muscles did they have, and how could they portray such a main character?
Ling Ping’an looked at the man in front of him who looked like a classic television movie.
He casually lifted him up, “Mr. Wang didn’t have to be like this!” he said softly. “This time when I descended to the mortal world…” he looked into the man’s eyes and said solemnly, “It’s only because I saw the loyalist struggling in this bubble-like illusion and felt uneasy…”
As he said that, he did not hold back anymore.
He told the truth of this Nightmare World!
Then, he looked at Wang Gui quietly.
He looked at the struggle and pain that kept flashing on this man’s face.
At this moment, humanity was revealed without a doubt.
The fear of the brain in the vat was spreading!
And this…
Was exactly what Ling Ping’an wanted to know.
Or rather, what he was looking for.
If he was told that everything that existed was an illusion.
Even his own soul, memories, personality, and experiences were all fabricated and faked.
Then…
What choice would people make?
