Chapter 195 Killing Monsters... Gaining Experience Points?
After receiving the "reward", the emotionless virtual voice continued to sound in Reji\'s mind.
[Governor No. 578, you have completed a duty mission and obtained 12 hours of compensatory time off. During this period, you can freely engage in activities. Do you wish to use it now?]
"Use it."
After Reji uploaded his thoughts in his mind, the "mother body" quickly gave a response.
[Governor No. 578, you have entered your compensatory time off. According to your authority, you can choose to move to the following destinations:]
[1. Private room; 2. Hero training room; 3. Spell meditation room; 4. Official business room]
Heh…
Now Reji was increasingly understanding why this place was called the "Hall of Heroes". The more he conversed with the "mother body" consciousness created by the Crown Prince, the more he felt a sense of familiarity.
Wasn\'t this just imitating the system in games?
So in a nutshell, the entire Hall of Heroes was a study of various aspects of the "Hero" from a thousand years ago, which was… me!?
To continue in-depth exploration, Reji definitely chose option two.
Hero training room.
Soon, the room he was in remained the same. Another wall seemed to be controlled by the central "mother body" and slowly moved, opening a new corridor for Reji.
No wonder I couldn\'t see any guards or the like here.
Everyone\'s consciousness could be controlled by the "mother body". They had to interact with the "mother body" before they could act under the authorization of the "mother body". As for external intruders, they probably wouldn\'t even be able to find the door to leave.
Following the end of the corridor and arriving at a new teleportation array, the light of the star spirit crystal flickered, and Reji was teleported to a new venue.
This place was like a classroom?
Those children who were captured from outside were all sent here through the cocoons.
For these children, the cocoons would conduct a secondary assessment. If their physical fitness and magical potential met the standards, they would not simply be used as "energy" but would be sent to the classroom for training.
This also explained why they had to have children, and they had to be under the age of thirteen.
The younger the children, the more malleable they were and the easier they were to control.
Now in the classroom, just like an industrial assembly line, these children were being shown a segment of spell footage from a thousand years ago.
The footage was a documentary about the great war between humans and demons. The brutality of the war left human corpses scattered everywhere, with countless casualties. The children might not understand war, but they could still be deeply impressed by the evil of the demon race.
If it were just this, it might not be a big deal.
What followed in the footage was something that even Reji had never expected.
One familiar figure after another appeared. They were precisely the 42 companions that Reji had cultivated in the game.
Following that, the Radiant Saintess also appeared in the victory scene of humans after the war. Naturally, the last scene showed Reji\'s game character, the Hero of the world.
Flowers and praise songs were generously given to the Hero by the surviving humans after the war. Everyone began to work hard for the reconstruction of their homes. The Hero and the Saintess became the new rulers of humanity.
This was consistent with the ending in the game, until...
In the footage, perhaps to make it easier for the children to understand, the Hero\'s 42 companions began to demonize one by one. They struggled in pain, their bodies shrouded in shadows, seemingly fighting against something, but in the end, they all failed and transformed from humans into strange-looking monsters. .net
The Radiant Saintess was forced to wield her sword and kill these former comrades-in-arms, now evil monsters, one by one. She was in great pain in her heart and vowed to find the source of this strangeness.
The scene changed, and the Radiant Saintess finally found the reason why the companions were all corrupted. The source of everything, the real mastermind behind the scenes, was the Hero laughing in the shadows, as if his plot had succeeded.
It turned out that from beginning to end, the Hero was not human at all, but an evil god who used humans.
Even the demon race was summoned by him. It was an evil plan he had orchestrated and acted out himself.
The evil god\'s purpose was to absorb the large amount of malicious energy generated by the mutual slaughter between humans and demons. Now the extremely powerful evil god was constantly releasing corruption. The 42 companions from before were the first to suffer, turning into monsters after being corrupted by the evil god.
Only now discovering the truth and realizing that she had been used all along, and moreover, because she was betrayed by her beloved, or perhaps, her beloved was always a lie, the Radiant Saintess, in grief and pain, wielded her sword against the evil god for the sake of humanity and also for revenge.
But at this time, she was no match for the evil god at all. Just as she was about to be assimilated by the evil god, a holy light suddenly descended from the sky, like a radiant goddess, bestowing blessings upon her.
Greatly enhanced, the Radiant Saintess successfully slew the evil god. But while she killed the physical body of the Hero who had become the evil god, she could not eliminate the evil god at its source.
Given time, the evil god would still be reborn and return.
Therefore, at the end of the footage, in order to delay the resurrection of the evil god, the Radiant Saintess completely dismembered and disassembled the Hero\'s body, sealing the parts and turning them into Hero\'s relics.
But this was still not safe enough.
Because the evil god had long corrupted the 42 companions and those former heroes, as well as the forces behind them, turning them all into potential evil god followers.
To prevent these followers from summoning and resurrecting the evil god, the Radiant Saintess established the first empire and became the Emperor. She scattered the relics imbued with the evil god\'s power throughout the world and entrusted them to different people for safekeeping.
As long as the empire did not fall and the relics were not gathered together, the evil god would never be able to be reborn.
But in other words...
Once these relics were offered to the evil god by the evil god\'s followers, that would be the true end of the world. The terrifying existence from the past would descend once again.
At that time, all humans would be corrupted by the evil god.
After instilling this concept in the children, they gained a sense of mission.
The current psionic wall was the defense line of humanity.
Every human should contribute to this. To prevent potential future disasters, they had to guard this place and dedicate their lives to the wall, to humanity.
For this, they did not hesitate to use special means.
For example...
The power of the former evil god.
