“How dare you try to destroy the pillar of Tongzhi Town, heretics!”
The moment the Pillar appeared, the feathered eye dependent, who had just arrived, finally realized that this farce was all about summoning the pillar of the town.
Even Yao Wangping, who was sent to Tongzhi Town, knew the information about the Pillar, so the feathered eyed man, who was a dependent of the Big Eye, naturally knew about the Pillar as well.
Not only did he know everything, but he was also tasked with eliminating heretics and guarding the Pillar in times of crisis.
The wings of the feathered eye dependent spread out with a swish, and countless pairs of eyes opened up on his feathers.
Not only that, countless pairs of blood-red eyes appeared behind him, and countless lines of sight were aimed at Mu Sichen.
At this moment, Mu Sichen had already lost the protection of the rules.
Seeing the Feathered Eye dependent unfolding his feathered wings, Chi Lian and Cheng Xubo recalled the horrifying sight when the four players were killed, they had no strength in their whole body, they could only hold their heads and hide under the hospital bed shivering continuously.
Shen Jiyue’s hand wiped on the mirror, and then forcefully threw the mirror into the middle of Mu Sichen and the Feathered Eye dependent.
The feather eyed man was swayed by the gaze reflected in the mirror, but his eyes were too many, and the swayed eyes were only 1/10.
About 10% of the eyes closed, the mirror did a little damage to the feather-eyed man, but the damage was too small.
“If the mirror was bigger, it could have stopped me.” He laughed contemptuously.
With a wave of his right wing, the mirror was flapped aside and shattered in the corner.
“Move!” Shen Jiyue shouted to Mu Sichen.
But Mu Sichen’s eyes were out of focus at this time, and he seemed to have lost consciousness.
He was located in the center of the pillar and wasn’t at all clear about what was happening outside.
Seeing that no one came to disturb him again, the Feather-Eyed dependent opened his remaining eyes wide and spoke as if chanting, “As far as my eyes can see, they are all ……”
His chant had only begun when a person holding a short sword came flying from the hospital bed.
It was none other than Yao Wangping.
Yao Wangping’s hands were nimble, he came to the pillar as if flying, and stabbed his short sword into Mu Sichen’s foot with great force.
It hit the eye of the big-eye’s pillar.
The moment Yao Wangping dropped the short sword, his foot clicked on the wall, he leaped and almost instantly moved in front of the Feather-eyed dependent, he swung out his left hand, his palm cut through the eyes of the Feather-eyed dependent One like a knife, not only interrupting the chanting, but also severely hitting both of his eyes.
The feather-eyed dependent covered his eyes and let out a cry of pain, his wings drooped and he was unable to move for a while.
Yao Wangping’s left shoulder was branded with Qin Zu’s totem, and just now, he had infused Qin Zu’s power into the eyes of the Feather-eyed dependent, who naturally couldn’t withstand it.
“Although you are hesitant to do things, you did it beautifully.” Yao Wangping said to Mu Sichen, “I have stabbed the Guardian Sword into the center of the pillar, the pillar will be destroyed soon, your mission is complete.”
They made such a big commotion, the ceiling had a hole, which was made by the Feathered Eye dependent, and the radio was blaring all over the hospital, how could Yao Wangping not know that the Pillar had already appeared.
Yao Wangping had a weapon given by Admiral Qin, and this guardian sword had Admiral Qin’s power on it, which was enough to destroy the “pillar”.
As long as the pillar was destroyed and a gap appeared in the town’s domain, Yao Wangping’s mission would be complete.
He didn’t care if Mu Sichen would die, nor did he care if he would face the wrath of the Pupil of the Sky afterward, he only needed to complete his mission.
Yao Wangping quietly waited for the pillar under Mu Sichen’s feet to break.
However, the event he had imagined didn’t happen.
The Guardian Sword only pierced through the tiles underneath Mu Sichen’s feet, not causing any damage to the pillars at all.
The sword was actually only capable of physical attacks.
“How could this happen?” Yao Wangping pulled off the Guardian Sword in shock and realized that the totem belonging to Qin Zu on the hilt was already blurred.
The Feather Eye dependent covered his eyes and stood up, a drop of blood dripping down the cracks of his fingers.
Despite covering his eyes, it didn’t affect his vision. An eye suddenly sprouted on the back of his hand, and after sweeping a glance at Yao Wangping’s sword, the Feather-Eyed dependent suddenly laughed wildy.
“Hahaha! I thought it was a powerful heretic, but it turned out to be nothing more than a defiler. What? After coming to Tongzhi Town and being inspired by the greatness of the ‘Pupil of the Sky’, have you already decided to convert?” The dependent mocked.
“A defiler? A person with two beliefs, how could I be such a person, I am loyal to Admiral Qin and Xiangping Town!” Yao Wangping’s composure was shattered as he took two steps backward and said in utter incredulity.
Shen Jiyue shook his head and sighed, “From the time you became a doctor, you have already been contaminated. The totem of the Guardian Sword was erased by your own hands.”
After all, he was within the pillar, and with a constant supply of energy support, the Feathered Eye dependent’s injuries gradually recovered.
He slowly lowered his hand and said to them, “Whether or not you received the call of the ‘Pupil of the Sky’, the sinner who presumptuously attempted to destroy the pillar, judgment!”
The feathers of the Feather-eyed dependent fell in pieces and wrapped around Yao Wangping, and a feather pierced into Yao Wangping’s right eye, which immediately gave birth to countless worms.
The feathers cut out wounds on Yao Wangping’s body, and instead of bleeding, each wound turned into an open eye.
Almost instantly, Yao Wangping turned into a person with an open eye on the right side of his body, while the left side of his body was still normal.
As the dependent said, “The Defiler”, there were two forces within his body that were in constant conflict.
Yao Wangping opened his mouth, but two different voices came out.
The one on the right was saying, “Great pupil of the sky, I will bathe in your sight, please ……”
While the one on the left shouted, “Mu Sichen, what are you doing? You have Admiral Qin’s totem on you, use the totem’s power to destroy the ‘pillar’!”
“Don’t even think about it!” The Feather-eyed dependent controlled the feathers to fly towards Mu Sichen.
Yao Wangping’s left half of his body displayed amazing combat strength as he swung his Guardian Sword, which actually stabbed all the hundreds of feathers in an instant, and the feathers landed powerlessly on the ground.
The moment he swung the sword, it was as if countless tentacles were born on his left shoulder, hitting the feathers at the same time.
“It looks like we still need to finish you off first!” The feather-eyed dependent’s facial muscles twitched.
Without the need for him to make a move, Yao Wangping pounced on him and pressed his left shoulder against the dependent’s chest, forcefully pushing him out of the ward.
Yao Wangping’s right hand uncontrollably scratched and grabbed his left shoulder, trying to grab off the totem on his left shoulder, he was not only fighting the dependent, but also fighting himself.
Even with the difficult form, Yao Wangping still managed to topple the dependent out of the ward. He kicked up the ward door, and with the wall and the door in the way, the dependent’s sight attack wouldn’t come immediately.
“Mu Sichen!” Yao Wangping shouted from outside the door.
Mu Sichen’s eyes were out of focus, his sight looking into the unknown distance, not knowing what he was thinking.
“Mu Sichen?” Shen Jiyue walked towards Mu Sichen.
At that moment, a skinny figure weaved under the hospital bed and quickly crawled to Mu Sichen’s feet.
It was Chi Lian!
Chi Lian was terrified of the Feathered Eye dependent, she had been hiding under the bed and shivering, when she heard Yao Wangping constantly shouting Mu Sichen’s name, she was originally scared but she snapped out of it.
She took out the silver self sticker from her bosom, remembering her mission, she forced herself to endure her fear, using the hospital bed to avoid the line of sight of the dependent, and tremblingly crawled to Mu Sichen’s feet.
Her legs were too weak to stand up, making it difficult to stick the self sticker to Mu Sichen’s cervical vertebrae.
Chi Lian clenched her teeth, propped up her body by holding onto the hospital bed, quickly lifted Mu Sichen’s shirt, and forcefully stuck the self sticker onto Mu Sichen’s back.
A coolness went straight from his back to his brain, his eyebrows were stimulated by the coolness, and Mu Sichen gradually woke up.
In these few short minutes, Mu Sichen’s brain nearly exploded.
The moment the pillar appeared, Mu Sichen heard the system’s beep.
[Congratulations to the player for successfully finding the “Pillar”, please establish a safe house as soon as possible to complete the novice mission.]
At the same time, there was a sharp pain in his chest, and an extremely strong force erupted from Qin Zu’s totem.
Mu Sichen “saw” countless tentacles being born in front of his chest, one of which was pointing at his brow.
“Transfer the power of my totem to the ‘Pillar’ and you will be free.” The tentacles transmitted Qin Zu’s voice.
On top of that, there was the sound of chanting that almost deafened his ears, as well as the big eye in front of him who opened its arms to him.
Mu Sichen’s SAN value had already dropped to 1 point, his gaze was confused as he looked at the very warm looking big-eye in front of him, the attraction was extremely strong to him, he wanted to pounce into the blood-red eye that were full of black worms, as if by pouncing into it he would be able to go back home.
If not for the invisible tentacles of Qin Zu that firmly nailed him to the ground, not allowing Mu Sichen to move, Mu Sichen at this time would have left the focus of the “pillar”, and pounced on the hallucination of the big-eye’s embrace.
If he took that step, Mu Sichen’s san value would completely return to zero, losing his humanity.
The three forces were constantly pulling, and Mu Sichen’s original self sticker had long since gone up in smoke in these forces.
He lived in his own world, and nothing in the outside world could wake him up.
Until Chi Lian crawled over and stuck this self sticker on Mu Sichen’s body.
Reason returned, and Mu Sichen finally heard the three voices clearly.
There were three paths before him.
The first one was easier, defect to Big Eyes and be a happy lunatic. This path was the easiest, but also the least electable.
The second was to borrow Qin Zu’s power and destroy the pillar. Mu Sichen had a feeling that once he channeled the totem’s power into the pillar, Qin Zu would be able to take over the pillar.
But what happens after helping Qin Zu? After Qin Zu seized the pillar, could he protect them? Even if he could survive, what about Chi Lian and Cheng Xubo?
Mu Sichen wasn’t sure that Qin Zu could protect the two players who weren’t his followers.
The third path, complete the task explained by the system and establish a safe house.
Mu Sichen never intended to listen to Qin Zu from the beginning, just as Qin Zu used him to obtain the power of believers and “pillars”, he was also using Qin Zu.
He wanted Qin Zu to send him to the Pillar and then complete the system’s mission.
At the moment, it seemed that among the several forces, the only one that could possibly protect the player was this pitiful game system!
But how to build a safe house?
Pillars, Domains, Totems, Skills ……
Countless images flashed through Mu Sichen’s mind, and he instantly made a decision.
Mu Sichen casually pulled out a handful of self stickers, not caring how many more this sticker was, whether it came from Qin Zu or the Big Eye, he stuck it on his body.
【Player used 1 cornerstone level self sticker, gained 100 points of experience, use another one to upgrade】【Player used 1 cornerstone level self sticker, gained 100 points of experience, use another one to upgrade】
【Player uses 1 cornerstone level self sticker, gains 100 points of experience, congratulations to the player for being promoted to level 2】.
[Player uses Cornerstone Level ……]
Successive system prompts rang in his ears, silver and blood red light enveloped Mu Sichen’s body, and he didn’t count whether it was 20 or 30 stickers, and he didn’t stop until there were no self stickers in his hand.
【Player used 1 cornerstone level self sticker, gained 100 points of experience, congratulations to the player for advancing to level 10】.
[Congratulations to the player for breaking through the level limit, promoted to pillar level.]
[Congratulations to the player for obtaining a large amount of energy, will you use all of it?]
“Yes.” Without hesitation, Mu Sichen swung his crossaxe and heavily smashed it on top of Big Eye’s pillar.
With one blow, and without knowing how much energy was consumed, Mu Sichen’s blue bar was instantly emptied.
At the same time, starting from the location where the crossaxe was focused, traces of shattering covered the pillar pattern, and the Big Eye’s pillar melted away in an instant.
The entire sanatorium looked like someone had pressed the pause button.
Outside the door, the Feather-eyed dependent who was tangling with Yao Wangping stopped, his eyes couldn’t stop the flow of bloody tears, and his expression was empty, as if he had lost something important.
Mu Sichen’s ears heard the system’s prompts again.
[Player used the “Digging” skill and obtained 1 Pillar level self sticker, do you want to use the self sticker to establish a safe house?]
“Yes.” Mu Sichen whispered.
This time, the self sticker didn’t appear in the form of paper.
He spread out his hand, and a golden light was released from his palm.
The light continued to spread in the air, transforming into the pattern of the self sticker.
The hands, which seemed to be like wings, encircled the sky, the earth, and the ocean.
Heaven and earth, no one can pollute my heart.
The ego sticker transformed into a pillar, enveloping the entire sanatorium.
[Congratulations to the player for successfully seizing 1 “Pillar” and successfully establishing a safe house.]
Mu Sichen had a feeling that he was safe within the space enveloped by the Pillar.
Chi Lian’s body seemed to be filled with power after seeing the Pillar. She froze for a moment, and her fingers flew to make a few false taps in the air.
A system panel that only she could see appeared floating in the air.
Looking at the words on the panel, Chi Lian couldn’t stop her tears from flowing.
In the lower right corner of the system panel, a brightly lit button appeared – Exit Game.
Chi Lian tried to touch that button, and in the next second, she disappeared from the sanatorium.
TN:
She left? Lucky her, poor MC 🥺
Okay, what? Chi lian you come back here child!! How come you just up and went just like that!!!
