[MTL, BL] After Retiring From Horror Game Boss

36

Yu Ziyu's figure appeared outside the theater.

I don't know if it was because of the effects of this banquet. Even though he specifically opened a field to block the power magnetic field, so many monsters gathered together, and some of their auras still leaked out, causing a large dark cloud to appear above them, not even a ray of sunshine. Neither can penetrate the miasma, shrouding the entire city in shadow.

Yu Ziyu took off her black robe as she walked and threw it on the ground like garbage.

Then, his figure flashed, like a piece of paper being torn by the wind, and disappeared into the air in his breath. A leaf fell from the branch, and it should have landed on his shoulder, but instead It stagnated in the middle, then fell to the ground again, and was stepped into the dirt by unaware passers-by.

When Lazy was thrown out of the pocket of his windbreaker, he immediately realized that they had reached their destination.

"So the master's plan has been completed?"

However, before it could take the initiative to return to its human form, it felt that all the skin on its body was burning. The snake-like body was twisting on the ground, as if it was burned by invisible flames. , letting out a hiss of pain, the young man's figure was forcibly pulled out of the body of the cold-blooded reptile.

"Put it on."

It was almost naked. Hearing Yu Ziyu's voice, he bent down and picked up the windbreaker thrown in front of him and wrapped it up. While paying attention to Yu Ziyu's reaction with his peripheral vision, he buttoned every button. , the voice was barely calm and said: "Is it about the question before the banquet started?"

Yu Ziyu was facing away from him, picking up the things on the table, and seemed to be playing with them boredly.

"The game has always had rules, and there are no tasks that cannot be completed." He said to himself.

Lazy squinted his eyes and looked around the surroundings while Yu Ziyu was deep in thought. He found that this was a rather empty warehouse somewhere... It was also a familiar location. Yu Ziyu had brought him here several times when he was working, so this should be his place. Photography studio somewhere.

It's very quiet here. All the equipment has been moved away, leaving only the open windows on all sides of the wall. The chilly wind flows into the room through the gaps, as if a peeping hand pulls the curtains back and forth. In the sight of the gaps, , Lazy could see the familiar forest and the unexpected villa in the distance.

"Here...are we back?"

Before that, Lazy didn't realize that this studio he had been to several times was not far from Yu Ziyu's villa. He glanced at the forest again and remembered that Yu Ziyu sometimes Keep it at home and go for a walk by yourself...so that's saying something.

"I'm just here to feed the pets." Yu Ziyu turned around, glanced at Lazy with a half-smile, crossed her arms and said, "I didn't do anything else without telling you. If I say it's a walk, it's just a walk. As for you? I can guarantee that. Say the same thing to me?"

Sure enough, he returned to this topic.

"No..."

Lazy opened its mouth and wanted to speak immediately, but before it had time to defend itself, it had already grunted and was thrown back by a powerful force without warning. The thin human body was suddenly violently It hit the white wall hard and quickly slid down weakly, retching out blood mixed with the organs.

As soon as it stood upright, Yu Ziyu grabbed its neck and hit the wall again. The shattered dust slid down and all the fluttering dust fell on its head.

"Nothing?"

Lazy felt his head buzzing due to two consecutive impacts. The cold temperature of the fingers on its neck seemed to penetrate into its skin, making Lazy unable to breathe at all. He became completely blank due to lack of oxygen, and the fear of dying was so strong for the first time.

Yu Ziyu grabbed it by the neck, lifted it up, and then threw it to the ground like some garbage.

"I don't like people lying to me." Yu Ziyu leaned over slightly, stepped on its chest, looked into the lazy eyes, and was satisfied to see that fear was now written in them, "Let's get to the point now, why do you have names? ? The score between us has not been settled yet. "

According to Hell Paradise, every boss is a product of the game and is bound by the rules of the game, so it is equivalent to some kind of unconscious being created by the game NPC. Existence, they can't possibly have names, and even personalities should be completely bound by established templates...

but just before, Lazy said they have real names.

They are products of the game, so they cannot have names. The reverse is also true, unless... they are not NPCs in the first place.

Lazy's body trembled slightly, and he looked away, not daring to look into Yu Ziyu's eyes: "I..."

Because of its hesitation and hesitation, the air became a little colder, and Yu Ziyu narrowed his eyes impatiently, but soon Quickly, the way the air flowed in the room changed. He stood up straight, took back the soles of his shoes that suppressed his laziness, and turned to look behind him -

two strange figures had already appeared there.

...

Lou Chen rushed back to the supernatural management department as quickly as possible. Although he said he wanted to find Yu Ziyu, it was obviously impossible to be a headless fly, and now he had a doubt that he had to solve... Only if he got Only with its answer can he truly understand Yu Ziyu.

He was rummaging through information in his office.

In the past two years, Lou Chen noticed that his memory was gradually declining, so in addition to using a sketchbook to draw people in his dreams, he also had the habit of recording the details of the hell paradise he recalled, and now , that's when he checked his vague idea.

Since the game boss cannot leave every floor, then...

can arrogance really break the rules?

Did it shape other bosses?

Think about it carefully... This makes no sense. Why are other bosses called Master Yu Ziyu? This could previously be explained by the fact that arrogance created them, but now it has lost its reliability because it is completely contradictory to the rules of the game. They The previous information about the birth of the monsters was obviously wrong.

Yu Ziyu can move between floors at will. He can even break the rules and shuttle between them with laziness.

There is only one conclusion -

he is one level higher than the so-called game boss.

It's not even likely he's arrogant.

This thought struck Lou Chen's mind like lightning. His movement of opening the drawer froze and he froze in place.

Only an existence that is more powerful than arrogance and higher than the boss can break the rules without limit. This is exactly the case. When Yu Ziyu wanted to leave the paradise of hell, he only had to try and he succeeded easily. Others The boss is also for him. It is better to say that he lost him before he had a chance to appear in the real world.

A vague idea emerged in Lou Chen's mind. He raised his hand to pinch the bridge of his nose, and fragments flashed through his mind.

I don't know how long passed until someone knocked on the door from outside, breaking the stagnant atmosphere in the room.

It's He Yu.

He came over with a stack of documents. Although Lou Chen had made preparations to hand over responsibilities in advance, the supernatural management department was not a small organization. There were still a series of things to hand over. He Yu knew what Lou Chen was looking for in his office. , so as soon as he found an opportunity, he came here quickly.

"I don't know what I'm doing now." He murmured, in a daze, "Captain, can you tell me again, we have been working with Arrogance for several weeks? I still can't believe that Teacher Yu is ...No, that doesn't make sense at all!"

Although He Yu asked this, he actually accepted what Lou Chen said in his heart.

This news was like an earthquake. He almost couldn't catch his breath, and he was so autistic. But if he was asked to deny that Yu Ziyu was not arrogant...he couldn't make an accurate judgment. Yu Ziyu was evil and indifferent. His test Writing is completely consistent with arrogance, He Yu can't believe that they have only realized this now.

Yu Ziyu didn't hide it at all.

"Yeah. I don't think he is now." Lou Chen said.

"What?" He Yu raised his head and realized that this was the countless times he had said this word today, but the shock it left on him was so profound that no matter who was in his position, , couldn't deal with this matter calmly, "Captain?"

His voice was a little helpless and a little panicked.

After all, he didn't think things were going to change for the better, they were only going to get worse.

But Lou Chen didn't explain it to him. Instead, he looked at the document in his hand and pointed out his original purpose of arriving here: "What is this?"

"Well..." He Yu came back to his senses and forcibly put out the thoughts in his heart. He suppressed his panic and raised his hand to look at the document. Realizing that there was still a mess to deal with, he said in a tired tone, "I plan to lock Xu He on the third floor. The place where the monsters were previously housed. He has been completely raped." ."

"We will prepare a meeting later on how to deal with him...but I think there may be no possibility of remediation." He said awkwardly, somewhat unable to bear Xu He's fate, "You know, captain, those things. Bosses are all extremes, either black or white, without any middle ground..."

They beat each other up hard in the corridor, and He Yu believed that if it weren't for the game props he happened to have on him, he would be Xu He must have broken his neck mercilessly - he could never understand why once a good person got involved with those bosses, he would be directly inspired to bring out the dark side of his heart and become extreme, completely Out of touch with your original self.

Xu He originally had a good relationship with them. They had worked together for a long time and were not just colleagues who had known each other.

But even so, he obeyed his heart without hesitation and betrayed all of them - just like the former minister Lao Yu said, they have a good insight into human nature. When this is applied to tempting people to do bad things , it's not so pleasant.

"So, do you think Yu Ziyu is evil and selfish? Just like other bosses."

Suddenly Lou Chen asked a question that was completely different from the topic just now, which made He Yu stunned, and then he realized what he said. What? Lou Chen stared at him, making him realize that he could not avoid this question. He fell into deep thought: "Well..."

This question should have been easy to answer. After all, He Yu had thought in his heart that Yu Ziyu was evil. However, when Lou Chen asked directly, He Yu hesitated for a moment and could not give an accurate answer immediately.

He is very cold and venomous, and does not care about anyone's eyes or feelings at all. He goes his own way and has nothing to do with consideration.

But...

Yu Ziyu was so duplicitous that he kept his agent and psychiatrist completely away from these anomalies, participated in rituals to help the unfortunate girl get revenge, expelled and restrained jealousy that intended to harm humans, and drove away those who intended to create chaos in the supernatural management department. Gluttony, and even did not allow any casualties at the banquet...

He never put these things out in the open, and even used contempt to cover it all up, so if you don't think about it carefully, the impression Yu Ziyu left on people has always been A person who treats trouble impatiently and coldly, and rejects those who lend a helping hand.

Looking at it this way, although he did not help either party, he completely created some kind of balance.

He didn't answer for a long time. He noticed that Lou Chen gently closed the drawer and put back the sketchbook inside. Then, he lowered his eyes and said in a calm voice: "I thought so too. Moreover, I think this scene is somewhat familiar."

Indeed. He Yu still remembered what happened before he met Yu Ziyu a few weeks ago. He and Lou Chen were in this office together. Lou Chen proposed a guess to him - the person on the tower is not necessarily the princess, but more Possibly the devil, this conversation left a deep impression on him.

Now it seems that Lou Chen also recalled this conversation.

"Say it again." Suddenly, Lou Chen said coldly.

He Yu was startled. "You just said Xu He's arrangements."

"I said... I said Xu He has been contaminated, and I will lock him up on the third floor." He Yu tried his best to remember and repeated what he had said before. Again, he didn't know what Lou Chen wanted, "I said, he is irredeemable."

As the words fell, a strange thought hit Lou Chen's mind, and he frowned subconsciously. frowned.

A few weeks ago, he had already had an idea - Hell Paradise is not a paradise, it is more like a prison, because from a certain point of view, the bosses of other floors are not allowed to move on floors other than the prescribed floors. Having monsters as companions is almost like... imprisoning them in different categories.

You must know that the dungeons on each level are completely classified according to the seven deadly sins.

The jealous floor is filled with monsters who make mistakes because of jealousy. The traps and copies they set are also related to the emotion of jealousy. Each floor is no exception. Lou Chen has the memory of having passed through the other six floors. They can Testify that this statement is completely correct.

What if that's really what they thought?

The rules are not rules of the game, but rather... some kind of jail code.

The entire hell paradise is a prison in another time and space. Those with strong emotions are potential criminals. The so-called players are actually wrongly judged by the rules and brought to that space to be locked up with a group of real vicious criminals.

They entered the dark prison by mistake. Some people were able to survive, but more people died there. As long as they could pass the level - this in itself was an impossible rule, because in the cold darkness, there were originally Evil naturally breeds in people with this tendency, and they stay in the game because of it.

According to this statement, Lou Chen knew why he entered the hell paradise.

Because he was not so approachable in the past, and Yu Ziyu knew this about him, so he ridiculed his current status.

He will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, and he is extremely determined to achieve his goals. Even if he has to leave behind people who are weaker than him, he doesn't care, as long as he can protect the people he wants to protect... He is essentially a person without An arrogant person who treats all players equally, Lou Chen just packages himself very well.

Xu He was jealous.

He is jealous of people who are more talented than him. This has always been a bad trait in his character, so he is easily tempted by lust in the real world.

Lou Chen believed that He Yu must be one of the seven.

At the same time, if you think of those bosses as criminals, this can explain why the rules apply fairly to them and the players. They are all prisoners without exception, so there will naturally be no preference. So if they lose in their struggle for power, they die too.

Their power comes from the same emotion, which is also evidence of their guilt. They are trapped on the corresponding floor, atonement for eternity, and have no chance to leave.

Lou Chen felt that the world was on the verge of collapse. These mysteries that were completely unfathomable in the past were confirmed one by one by the existence of Yu Ziyu, and he was able to get so much information just by reasoning back from Yu Ziyu's irrationality... This was in a certain way To a certain extent, it shows that Yu Ziyu is the core of this large prison.

The behemoth has revealed the tip of the iceberg.

But Yu Ziyu's back was once again shrouded in a layer of black mist, just like it had frequently appeared in Lou Chen's dream.

"What kind of identity can move freely in a prison, easily suppress all prisoners in the prison, and allow criminals to leave their cells... Even after he leaves, all prisoners have the opportunity to leave the original prison, and a collective prison escape breaks the rules "Restrictions?"

"Uh, the rules themselves?" He Yu hesitated.

"No." He shook his head.

Before that, Lou Chen didn't know why Yu Ziyu suddenly changed his mind when the game panel appeared. If...if it issued a task to Yu Ziyu alone, it would make sense. In disguise, it asked Yu Ziyu to take responsibility and resume maintenance. The balance was shaken by his absence.

But this also illustrates one point from the side-Yu Ziyu will also be bound by rules.

It's just that his rules are different from all of them. Its attitude towards him is cautious and respectful, but definitely not coercive, because Yu Ziyu's departure from Hell Paradise proves that it cannot stop Yu Ziyu from doing anything he wants. What he wants to do is not the rule itself, but the rule is afraid of him.

"Then...it is also an existence that makes the rules fearful."

"Are we still talking about Teacher Yu?" He Yu asked, shuddering, "Who are we talking about?"

Lou Chen had forgotten where he was, He didn't notice what He Yu said. Something was coming out in his mind, almost screaming in his mind, making him unable to breathe at all - this involved a secret that was deeper than he thought.

"I know." Lou Chen murmured, with a blank expression, "He owns the entire prison, he dominates the entire prison."

Rules depend on the prison to survive. It is destined to be inferior to its owner. If you want to survive, , it must still maintain balance, it cannot do this by itself, it can only rely on Yu Ziyu to do it, which is why he has such high authority.

The rules - the game, rather the prison itself, must be very careful and cunning to have a chance of surviving.

It will find ways to please Yu Ziyu, possibly by issuing tasks. It does not dare to deceive Yu Ziyu, so it can only reappear in the form of a game at the right time to help him. Otherwise, this cannot explain why the game suddenly appears in the game. Lou Chen started all over again the day after he met Yu Ziyu.

"Captain," He Yu looked scared, "I, I don't know what you are talking about..."

He didn't know why his heartbeat accelerated, as if something terrible was about to explode on the spot.

"He is..." Lou Chen whispered without hesitation, "Yu Ziyu, he is the warden."

...

"Late enough." Yu Ziyu said coldly, looking at the familiar figure, "Greedy, Do you have anything to explain to me? "With Lazy?"

Standing in front of him was Greed himself who had not come to the scene.

Its indistinguishable appearance made it look even more radiant than imagined. Its long hair was spread at shoulder length, and it smiled at him with the appearance of a young girl. It was wearing a well-fitting dress, which was better than any boss. A lot, and it looks like the best of them all in a while.

"I believe they have come on my behalf." Greedy said, and it seemed that he did not hesitate to take credit. Although the words were very intimate, he stood still and said cautiously, "I have helped the master do a lot a long time ago. , when Lazy contacted me, I immediately offered my hands to the pagans. "

Oh.

This can explain why laziness can quickly make contingency plans, because it has found greed and it has been prepared.

Yu Ziyu looked at it.

"I created the forum." Greedy bowed slightly, "The forum that brings interested people together... I hope you haven't forgotten, Master, but please don't blame me, because I planned your participation. The first pagan gathering, I just knew you needed this, you needed to get in touch with Lou Chen. "

It was always there, just forced to hide in the shadows.

But it didn't explain at all why there was a pale, thin young man standing next to it. He kept staring at Yu Ziyu while they were talking, as if he rarely had the chance to do so, and he simply couldn't take his eyes away from his Moving away, he stood beside Greed but looked down upon it at all.

His eyes were deep black, like a whirlpool, blackening everything that fell into his eyes, making him look so unique and full of fatal attraction.

Lazy climbed up from the ground with difficulty. It coughed violently and choked out more blood. Yu Ziyu's windbreaker was filled with blood and turned black and darker.

"I want to come too, Master." The young man suddenly spoke, his voice was very dull, "But I noticed that you didn't leave a place for me."

He looked at Yu Ziyu and waited patiently for his answer.

"...What do you want to do?" Lazy asked vigilantly from behind Yu Ziyu, his voice hoarse, "You shouldn't be here."

His voice was full of hesitation, which seemed to mean something.

"I regretted it. I don't want to be that invisible man anymore." The young man glanced at Lazy and said contemptuously, "You and I both know what I plan to do. You should learn to be grateful. Since I did it when the master left. What, then... of course I want to continue doing something."

Greed took a step back and glanced at the young man next to it in fear.

Yu Ziyu smiled, as if he was not very surprised. It was unclear what he was thinking now, and he raised his chin.

"Tell me what you want to do to me."

"I am Arrogant, the boss of the seventh floor." The young man said, "The first prisoner you imprisoned in the game."

The author has something to say: At the end
