Chapter 77


Lily Marlene?


Xiao Tangqiu was taken aback. wasn’t that the witch in the haunted castle instance? No wait! Could NPCs in other instances actually run into this instance? No, that’s not the point! The point was that the original Lily Marlene actually existed?!


In that haunted castle, the shadow of Lily Marlene could be seen through the entire instance. But she had never appeared. They were still unable to determine whether Lily Marlene really existed, or if she was just an illusion that Lippinobert had fruitlessly pursued all his life… But Lily Marlene actually appeared now!


Xiao Tangqiu couldn’t believe that Lily Marlene appeared in front of them like this. It was such an unexpected and unimaginable way. Not only did Lily Marlene exist, but she also lived well… So who killed “Lily Marlene” before Lippinobert summoned them?


He was puzzled, even if Lily Marlene really existed and was not dead, why did she appear here? Was there a certain connection between the two instances? Who was Lily Marlene anyway?


Lily Marlene called herself an Arch Demon. So she isn’t a witch nor Miko, but a demon?!


Everyone else were also incredulous, and Tang Mianmian was even more so, “Fuck! It’s you!”


Shen Yuan’s brows furrowed. Although he no longer remembered who Lily Marlene was, he instinctively perceived how dangerous she was. What’s more, Lily Marlene still exuded a strong demonic aura. The overwhelming aura set off the alarm bells in his heart.


“You seem to know me,” Lily Marlene smiled slightly, although it was an interrogative sentence, her tone was not surprised, “This is my honor… and also your honor.”


Duan Hongzhen sneered, “Our honor? What honor?”


“Naturally it is an honor to sacrifice for me,” Lily Marlene smiled slightly, “Thank you for getting rid of my personal troubles for me, in return… I’ll let you become part of my powers!”


Everyone’s expressions changed and Xiao Tangqiu suddenly realized&#k2026; Was this just a conspiracy designed by Lily Marlene from beginning to end?


Xiao Tangqiu suddenly remembered that other than against the mobs and zombies, the “Miko Kisaragi” never made any moves against the Bosses. He had thought it was a little strange before, but now it was even more suspicious why “Kisaragi” didn’t take a shot against the mountain god. He originally thought that the Miko could not fight with the mountain god she believed and worshipped, but maybe it wasn’t that “Kisaragi” didn’t want to fight, but couldn’t fight!


Even if he didn’t know why Lily Marlene appeared here, he could guess that Lily Marlene, an NPC that didn’t belong to this instance, would not be able to move freely in this instance. Otherwise, wouldn’t all of the NPCs in the S-level instances just go take over D-level ones? He believed that the system not only restricted players, but also had similar restrictions on NPCs!


Xue Junli’s complexion changed greatly to something unprecedented. He had always been calm and steady, yet now he cried out in disbelief, “She is an NPC from another S-level? Impossible! NPCs are not free to come and go between the two S-level instances!” He did not participate in the Reincarnation Team’s last S-level mission, but he had heard about it from their other teammates and knew of Lily Marlene’s existence.


His pallor changed and his brows furrowed, “Impossible! This is impossible! Only a few extremely powerful demons can break the barriers and enter the instances. The more powerful the demons are, the more restricted. It’s absolutely impossible for them to go back and forth at will in the instances!”


Xiao Tangqiu felt his heart drop at this. All the intelligence information he got from Su Manluo was directly or indirectly derived from Xue Junli. As the one who created the Abyss City Forums, Xue Junli may be the most important person in the world besides pre-amnesia Shen Yuan. Something even Xue Junli thought was impossible… really happened before their eyes!


He couldn’t help blurting out, “What does this mean?”


Xue Junli’s complexion was stormy, and he was silent for a few seconds before speaking slowly, “She found a way to break the barrier between the instance worlds… even a way to break the barrier between the real world and instances.”


Xiao Tangqiu and co’s expressions changed drastically at the same time. Although Xue Junli did not go on, they still understood his meaning. This world had three worlds: the real world, the instance world and the City of the Abyss. The players of the City of the Abyss could freely shuttle between the city and the instance world, unable to reach the real world. The demons of the real world could not enter the city and most of the instance world, only able to enter a small part of the instance world. And the stronger the power of the demon, the greater the limitations… So the three worlds had always maintained a delicate balance, just like balance in a game, but now someone has broken this balance!


Once the demons in the real world break the restrictions and freely travel to and from the instance world, those demons who used to only stay in a single S-level instance could not only go to other S-level instances, but could even go to lower level instances. A-level instances, B-level instances… even D-level instances, they could completely toy with the players and strangle new players in the cradle!


And maybe… the demons also knew the way to the City of the Abyss!


Once the demonic entities in the real world invade the City of the Abyss, they would not only lose their only sanctuary and be forced to flee, but they could also only flee into the instance world. They would be just like the bird of paradise, only able to fly for a lifetime because they had no feet, only landing once in a lifetime at their death.


Xiao Tangqiu thought even farther. If the demons really mastered the way to freely travel between the three worlds, then the most restricted Abyss Demon may also appear in the City of the Abyss!


Abyss Demon…


Although Xiao Tangqiu had never seen this legendary primordial demon, he still couldn’t help shuddering. He couldn’t imagine the appearance of the abyss demon in the City of the Abyss. Even though he had not yet developed much attachment to the City of the Abyss, he really couldn’t bear to see the prosperous city turned into a cold and dead city.


But this kind of thing was not determined by Xiao Tangqiu.


Lily Marlene chuckled softly, “Oops, you have discovered my secret. It’s not good to know too much… it seems I can only wipe you out.”


Although she said “oops”, she still had a very casual look. Obviously she didn’t put Xiao Tangqiu’s group in her eyes at all. Even if they knew her most important secret, it probably wouldn’t be a big deal to her. After all, even if a few ants knew the secret, there was no need to panic. Wasn’t it simple enough to crush them to death?


Xiao Tangqiu’s heart sank, knowing that they had encountered a difficult situation. It was obvious that Lily Marlene was more than one grade stronger than Lippinobert.


He subconsciously glanced at Shen Yuan in his peripherals. Shen Yuan’s gaze was dark and gloomy with a storm brewing in them. He was inexplicably relieved. Although he didn’t know what Shen Yuan was planning, he instantly wanted to fight for a little more time for him.


So he resisted the strong pressure on Lily Marlene, bit the bullet and shouted, “Wait a minute! Even if you want us to die! At least let us die knowing! Who are you?”


Lily Marlene smiled softly, “Oh? Want to stall for time?”


She saw through Xiao Tangqiu at a glance, but she didn’t care at all. After all, in the face of absolute strength, any method was useless.


Xiao Tangqiu gritted his teeth, “We just want to die with clarity! Who are you? Are you really the witch Lily Marlene? Who is Lippinobert?”


When she heard Lippinobert’s name, Lily Marlene’s expression did not fluctuate. She smiled, “Who is Lippinobert? Should I know him?”


Xiao Tangqiu couldn’t help but pause. Lippinobert exhausted his whole life chasing Lily Marlene’s ghost. As a result, Lily Marlene didn’t even know who this person was? How ironic!


After a while, Lily Marlene seemed to think of something, and she smiled, “Oh, it turns out to be him. He’s a devout believer of mine. He made sacrifices in order to summon me back to this world… but failed.”


Xiao Tangqiu was taken aback again, he didn’t expect Lily Marlene to know about it! Were these powerful demons like gods, not only possessing “believers”, but also being able to sense what “believers” had done for themselves?


“It’s a pity, I hope his soul can reach the real world,” Lily Marlene kept smiling, “If it weren’t for you making trouble, maybe I would have returned to the instance world a long time ago. And I wouldn’t have to be like this and have to abandon a part of my power… Say, do you think I should punish you?”


Return to the instance world? These words were too informative, Xiao Tangqiu thought about it quickly, could it be–


Lily Marlene was originally an NPC in the instance world, but by some coincidence, became a demon in the real world? What did this mean?


“Since I became a demon, I have never been able to return to the instance world. Now that I have finally broken the ‘wall’ and come back, I really have missed it. But because of this damn restriction, I have to leave most of my power outside the ‘wall’…” Lily Marlene sighed softly, as if a little regretful, “but it’s more than enough to kill you little ants, so who wants to come first?”
