145. Judgment Day
145. Judgment Day
After dinner, the sunset slowly sank into the horizon from the distant sky.
The trainees got up from the long table, passed by the gold plates and vessels with stacks of unleavened bread and wine, and the candlesticks placed on the white tablecloths, and walked together to the side entrance of the church. , looking at the night outside.
The heavy wooden door at the main entrance has long been closed and bolted with a wooden latch thicker than a dictionary.
The sky and the earth became dark.
The City of Goodness at night is different from the City of Goodness during the day. During the day, the town seems to be filled with holy light, soaked in warm sunlight everywhere. In the town at night, the doors of every house are closed, and even the windows are locked. Looking around, the streets are only lit by rows of dimly lit street lamps, which looks desolate.
Soon, the night sky started to get darker.
There were wisps of rain falling from the sky, first as a drizzle, and finally falling with crackling sounds and hitting the ground.
Deeper in the dark clouds, faint lightning flashed, and through the black, the sparks caused by the arc in the heavy rain could be clearly seen.
"Sorry, guests, please go to the side hall to rest for a while."
There were panicked looks on the faces of the nuns. They quickly closed the side door of the church and apologetically directed the trainees to sit down in the cathedral's drawing room.
Everyone had a vague premonition in their hearts and followed him obediently without anyone speaking.
The side hall is not big. It is at the back of the church near the resting area for the clergy. There is a circle of comfortable sofas with fluffy pillows on them.
The fireplace burned tirelessly in the center of the side hall, the fine wood made a pleasant squeaking sound, and the air was filled with a warm breath.
What was different was the solemn atmosphere.
Because the main system had lifted the fuzzy memory, and because of the bizarre encounters in this copy, no one spoke for a while.
Xu Su sat by the fireplace, staring at the flames rising in the center of the firewood, in a daze.
He didn't know what was wrong with him. He was obviously in a terrifying copy now and had no time to think about other things, but the emotions in his heart were still turbulent and difficult to calm down.
Xu Su was still in college when he came to Infinite Loop and was preparing to take the postgraduate entrance examination. Because he was studying in a different place, he did not go home for a whole semester.
It was a school holiday that day. As soon as he got home after packing his luggage, he had a big quarrel with his family.
Xu Su himself had forgotten what the quarrel was about. People are always like this. They are cautious when facing strangers and leave all their temper to the people closest to them.
In a rage, he locked himself in the room and played games for several hours.
He has always had a fiery personality, and his temper comes and goes quickly, and it is inevitable that he will regret it later.
So Xu Su got up, turned off the computer, and wanted to go out, bow his head, and have a meal. Unexpectedly, in such a blink of an eye, he was caught by the main system in an infinite loop, and he could never go back.
After thinking of all this, Xu Su regretted all the way, regretting why he had to quarrel with his family in the first place.
How anxious, nervous and sad would the family members be if they found out that he was missing from his room for no apparent reason. If he can't go back, who will be able to support his parents until they die.
When he was in the square, Xu Su almost shed tears when the NPC who looked exactly like his mother called to him.
Because he knew that if it was really his mother standing there, her mother would definitely say those words.
But it was precisely because of this that Xu Su did not indulge in it like others.
The more sincere the NPCs were, the more he thought of his family who was waiting for him to return in reality.
To live, you must live.
He clenched his fists.
Not just for himself, but for...
Xu Su took a deep breath and remembered the confession he had just made in the confession room.
He did not choose the sacrament of penance, because repentance must be accompanied by the person's personal remorse for his actions. If he does not repent sincerely, simply exercising this sacrament has no meaning at all.
Xu Su doesn't think there's anything wrong with liking someone.
But that person... is the same sex as him.
Thinking of this, Xu Su felt entangled and distressed.
He was very nervous, and before he only thought that he cared about Xu Sen as a good brother, but he didn't realize it until the Halloween event at Colorful Amusement Park.
But he is a straight man. If nothing else, he really never thought that he would have such a mentality towards a man. So at the beginning, he deliberately classified this mood as the suspension bridge effect, thinking that he had become subconsciously dependent on another person in an extremely dangerous situation.
Now coming to the Judgment Day dungeon and seeing his former relatives, Xu Su finally faced his inner thoughts.
Even if he could complete the main mission of this S-level copy, he would not choose to stay here.
This dreamlike and beautiful world is always fake. Knowing it is fake but insisting on staying here is the behavior of a coward.
Xu Su didn't want to be a coward. Because there are people who want to work hard for it, he also wants to be brave.
Survive this copy, survive the infinite loop.
Thinking of Xu Sen who led the team into another copy space with Boss Zhuge, Xu Su felt a little worried.
He clenched his fists and made a decision in his mind.
After surviving this dungeon and returning to the studio hall, you must tell Xu Sen your true thoughts clearly.
No matter what the future holds, at least I have a clear conscience and no longer have to worry about gains and losses.
...
After everyone rested for a while, they all took the purification guns and decided to form a group to take a look outside.
There is only one trainee like Xu Su in a team of thirty people. Although most of the other trainees find it difficult to talk about it, they prefer to stay in this S-level dungeon.
After all, this is a rare opportunity to withdraw from the competition. They know their own strength well. Going back to participate in the competition at this time is tantamount to death, not to mention that the magician Zongjiu once revealed the next copy. It is very likely that it will be a super S-level dungeon, and one dungeon will determine the candidates for the final debut of one hundred people.
A mere B-level trainee, who dares to pat his chest and guarantee that he will survive in a super S-level copy?
This opportunity is currently the best opportunity.
It's a pity that the magician almost wins in this copy, and there is no need to consider how to pass the Judgment Day.
So other trainees who wanted to stay in this dungeon formed a group and planned to form a team to go outside to explore the situation first. After all, there are only six days until Judgment Day, and the City of Evil will only appear at night, which means that they only have five nights to eliminate the seven deadly sins in their hands.
After the confession just now, everyone has eliminated one line, and there are still six left, so we must work harder.
Only Anthony, after listening to their discussion, hesitated and took the initiative to take the leadership job.
He didn't forget what Zong Jiu told him, and he knew in his heart that he probably wouldn't survive the Judgment Day just like the NPC said. Because just after he confessed, the seven black lines on Anthony's arms were still there, without any trace of elimination.
This is where the troublesome problem arises.
There is a conflict between main task two and main task one.
If the dungeon is destroyed, it will inevitably harm the interests of the trainees who want to stay in this dungeon. Coupled with the high stakes involved, it is very likely that it will develop into a situation of internal strife or cannibalism.
The abacus of the main system can be said to be very good.
Who says team copies have to be cooperative? A team comes in and kills each other because of different interests. This has always been the favorite drama of the main system that does not abide by martial ethics.
Anthony had to be careful not to reveal his intentions. Even if he might be hated to death by these people when he returns to the trainee dormitory later, he doesn't care. There is a dead end in front of him, and it is only natural to fight for his right to survive.
"Okay, then let Senior Anthony be the temporary squad leader."
Fortunately, he was a high-ranking A-level trainee and the highest-ranking trainee in the team besides the magician. The others agreed to his request to be the temporary captain without much thought.
At this moment, the young pope's childish voice came from far away from the door of the side hall.
"Night is when the City of Good and the City of Evil are connected. Are you sure you want to go out?"
Also accompanying him was Zongjiu, who agreed to play with the naughty child.
"OK." The trainees all nodded.
After glancing around and exchanging silent glances with Anthony, Zong Jiu confirmed his previous guess without any surprise.
The white-haired young man paused and said, "I'll go too."
Although he doesn't need to try his best to eliminate the black lines on his hands like other trainees, in the end he is still the leader of the team and has to fulfill his responsibilities. He can't just turn around and be the boss.
"To eliminate evil, you must do it yourself. There is no way to eliminate evil with the help of others."
The little devil standing aside gave a kind reminder and lowered his voice: "Brother, it's better to go later. Tonight is the first day, so we have to give them some room to accept."
Zongjiu's intuition was that there was fraud.
Especially after the little devil stood in the side hall and waved to him with a smile, the bad premonition in his heart became more and more serious.
"You go ahead, I'll change my clothes and come back."
So he deliberately went out behind a while, and sure enough, thunder suddenly came from outside the heavy rain curtain.
"Rumble, rumble, rumble—"
After the thunder, noisy shouts and screams appeared in the rain. The trainees who had just been out for less than ten minutes threw their umbrellas one by one and ran towards the church in the heavy rain, with anxious and full expressions. Panic.
In the middle, they carried a trainee who was soaked all over, his limbs were twitching and his eyelids were white. They rushed into the side hall, placed him next to the warm fireplace, and gathered around him nervously.
"What's going on?"
The white-haired magician, who had just changed into his windbreaker and rain boots and was about to hold an umbrella to take a look, frowned deeply. He lifted up his clothes and squatted down, using his fingers to feel the trainee's breath.
"Outside, there's..."
The others had fear on their faces, as if they hadn't come to their senses yet. They couldn't speak clearly because they were running so fast.
Zong Jiu did not rush them, and asked them to take a breath before continuing their investigation.
Although it was weak, it was not life-threatening.
However, the next second, the magician's eyes narrowed.
Under the dancing firelight of the fireplace, a faint black shadow was stretched infinitely, from the feet of the unconscious trainee to the opposite wall, bright and clear.
"Why did his shadow come back?"
