Chapter 338: Redemption Island (27)
On the other side, when Xiao Huai embarked on the road of repentance, he heard several people calling his name in the distance, their voices vague and rapid.
But soon the system prompt sound rang in my ears.
[An abnormality has been detected...protection mode has been automatically activated.]
He raised his eyebrows slightly. Why would the protection mode be turned on?
From the very beginning, he heard the painful cries of other nearby players. Those memories should have entered his brain, but the system activated the protection mode.
I'm afraid other players don't have this protection mode at all.
Is he the only exception?
But soon, Xiao Huai regained his indifferent expression.
As the system entered protection mode, the sounds gradually became unreal and eventually disappeared from the ears completely.
Silence returned to his ears, and he walked alone on this long ladder to heaven.
There was no fluctuation in his eyes, and his steps were light, as if he was just taking a leisurely stroll in the garden.
He has no regrets. He has done what he has done. Regret is just useless internal waste.
The future is not fixed, so why can't it be changed?
Suffering and pain are just nightmares of others and have nothing to do with him.
He did not look back, nor did he care about the fragments of memory that were infinitely magnified.
He is a sinless man.
Why repent?
Mingluo's footsteps suddenly stopped at this moment, and his eyes, which were originally as calm as water, trembled slightly.
She slowly raised her head, her sight penetrating through layers of space and reaching the top of the ladder.
The cold look was replaced by a slight surprise at this moment, and she stared at the figure standing high up.
Xiao Huai was the first person to reach the top. He showed no struggle and no pain, as if he had not experienced the torture of the road of repentance at all.
His calmness was at odds with the game of crime and punishment.
A hint of complexity flashed in Mingluo's brown eyes. She thought that this road would eventually reveal everyone's inner heart, but Xiao Huai... was really unrestrained.
There is no torture of sin, no shackles of regret.
Is he unwilling to confess, or is he truly innocent? It is difficult to judge at the moment.
"An innocent man... He really is... innocent."
Mingluo's heart was in turmoil. She didn't expect the facts before her to be so unexpected.
----
Gradually, the steps under Xiao Huai's feet began to become sparse, his pace slowed down, and he realized that he had reached the top.
The last step under his feet fell on empty air, and what greeted him was not the bright world he had imagined, but an endless darkness.
There was no sun or moon in sight, and the sky was just a thick haze.
All colors and vitality disappear here, leaving only endless gray and silence.
It was like entering a completely new world, with no wind, no sound, and even the concept of time was blurred at this moment.
There is an open plain ahead, with some strange props scattered on the ground. They are bizarre and of various shapes, more like relics from different worlds.
Among these props, the most eye-catching one is a seemingly ordinary medicine bottle.
There were three big words written on it - "regret medicine".
The bottle of medicine lay quietly in it, with some subtle attraction, as if waiting for someone to reach out and touch it.
A hint of mocking smile flashed in Xiao Huai's eyes.
How could there be a pill for regret in this world?
A system notification sound came to my ears.
"Congratulations on being the first player to arrive. These items are prepared for the survivors. You can choose whatever you like."
He slowly approached the scattered props, his eyes always showing a hint of indifference.
He stretched out his hand, only an inch away from the small bottle labeled "Regret Pills", his fingers suspended in mid-air, but he never touched it.
Xiao Huai looked at the bottle of regret medicine coldly.
It was written in exquisite calligraphy on the bottle.
"I can make all your regrets disappear..."
"All regrets are... gone?" He whispered to himself and sneered.
If the sins and wounds of the past could be erased with a bottle of medicine, that would be too simple.
absurd.
Xiao Huai ignored the bottle of medicine, turned around, and walked towards other props.
At this moment, the words on the bottle seemed to change, as if deliberately luring Xiao Huai to pick it up.
The words began to rearrange themselves into a new sentence, and began to emit a faint luster.
A cold chill came over him from all directions.
Xiao Huai paused slightly and turned his head again.
I saw that the words on the bottle of medicine had been changed to - "Can make all your desires come true."
Perhaps in the past, Xiao Huai would not be interested in this line of text, because he did not have much desire in his heart, but now...
But now, Xiao Huai unconsciously felt a desire in his heart.
That weak but real desire grew in the body and gradually spread.
His eyes fell on the bottle of regret medicine again, and his fingertips were slightly raised, just a few inches away from the bottle of medicine.
"It can make all your desires come true."
This line of words seems like a temptation and also like a silent promise.
All kinds of thoughts emerged in his mind. After getting this bottle of medicine, could he find Lu Qian and save him? After getting this bottle of medicine, could he... know the secret hidden by Lu Yuanshi?
However, when he was about to reach out and touch the bottle of medicine, a voice suddenly sounded deep in his mind.
That was what Chaos once said to him.
"Do you know what medicine people desire most?"
Before the game started, Chaos said this. What is the deep meaning of this sentence?
Xiao Huai's hand suddenly stopped.
His pupils shrank slightly, and he quickly withdrew his hand, quickly regaining his composure.
Xiao Huai pressed his heart, and just now he uncontrollably began to want to pick up the bottle of medicine.
It was like being trapped in an invisible force.
He realized that he was very likely in danger from which he could not escape.
Just as I stepped back, I heard footsteps behind me.
Someone successfully climbed the ladder to heaven.
A broken gasp came from behind.
The new player's face was full of pain, as if he had just struggled out of the abyss.
His eyes were confused, yet filled with strong desire, like a soul that had experienced torture. His body was trembling, and his hands were unconsciously clenched into fists, as if he was about to collapse at any moment.
When he saw the bottle of regret medicine, a fanatical gleam flashed in his eyes, like a wanderer in the desert suddenly seeing a source of water.
He rushed to the bottle of medicine almost without hesitation, and the moment he grabbed it, the painful expression on his face was quickly replaced by a sense of relief.
"Regret medicine... there really is a regret medicine! My wish will definitely come true. You must be the legendary resurrection item. I found you, I found you!!!"
So many people come here just for the resurrection props.
Since there is such a sentence written on the regret medicine, does it mean that it is the resurrection prop that millions of people are looking for?
