She turned her head and looked at him, the light in her hands filling her pale eyes.

"Our ancestors built the 'black wall' that separated the dome from the outside world on their own. The 'black wall' separated the dome from the outside world to prevent the curse from leaking out." She said with a look in her eyes.

very quiet:

"...So, in the past hundreds of years, none of us have been able to leave here. From birth to death, we have lived in this polluted land all our lives, and each of us has a curse that cannot be erased.

"

Su Mingan was a little shocked after hearing this.

He didn't expect that the people living in this dome would actually shoulder such a mission.

The people here actually chose to take the initiative to build a barrier to protect the dangerous curse and prevent it from contaminating the outside world.

The price is that all of them, for generations, including their parents, children, and their children's children... must live in this world full of curses.

They will never be able to see the beautiful and pure world outside for their entire lives.

Perhaps it was because his expression was not good, so Xiber walked closer to him holding the burning soul stone in his hand.

"Actually, the curse is not a bad thing at all." She said: "Because of its existence, many of us have gained powerful powers that outsiders cannot have, such as the ability to control fire and the ability to control ice elements.

Ability and the like...those guides are the outstanding ability users among us. Of course, if we need to use these powers, the curse on us will be affected, which is why we are reluctant to take action."

"Is there a curse on you too?" Su Mingan asked.

Sibor was silent for a while.

The night wind blew up her bright red hood, revealing a few strands of her white hair.

After a moment, she said "Yeah" softly.

"Locals like us...are born with a curse, and the curse will always be latent in us. When the curse occurs, people will definitely die." She said: "But before the curse occurs, we locals will also use

There are some ways to delay the final time when the curse occurs. The curse on most people may not occur in their lifetime. They will only enjoy the power brought by the curse when it does not occur. Of course, you outsiders have no resistance.

, you will definitely die quickly after being infected with the curse, so I hope you will take my words seriously."

Su Mingan frowned slightly.

For a moment, he didn't know how to speak.

The people in this small world have a time bomb-like curse on them since they were born. They don’t know when it will strike and suddenly take their lives...

They can't even hold their lives in their own hands, so they can only try their best to delay the onset of the curse. Although they also enjoy the power brought by the curse before it occurs, they need to be on guard all day long.

This bomb hanging on them, which cannot be stripped away, may kill them at any time.

Death seemed extremely close to them.

The same goes for Sibel.

Su Mingan suddenly understood why she had that attitude of fighting against the world when they first met.

This kind of world... would indeed make life extremely painful.

As he was thinking this, he suddenly saw her approaching him suddenly and staring into his eyes.

"So." She said: "Don't underestimate those black fog and cursed creatures. You will die, understand? If you die after being infected with the curse, I will also lose my mind. Don't think that you are the 'strongest' adventurer."

You can ignore the curse. Even the strongest leader among us will die if the curse occurs. Death is fair to everyone."

"Then...you said that in this battle, the last surviving leader can go to the outside world. Is it true?" Su Mingan said.

"Yes." Siboer nodded: "Actually, this Hundred-Man War is not the first one."

...Isn’t it the first time?

"Previously, the Dome would hold such a hundred-man war every twenty years, and the winner who survived in the end really passed through the black wall and went to the outside world." Siboer said.

.

After hearing her words, Su Mingan realized that the world's world view was not as simple as he imagined.

At first, he thought that this was just a small world for a hundred players to fight each other. Those so-called "leaders" were just to add glory to players like them, to add glory to this world.

The next copy will be more fun.

But now he realized that this was not the case at all.

...This is clearly an extremely independent world with a complete worldview.

And those guides are all living people, natives of Qiongdi.

They all have their own thoughts and desires. They participate in this battle not to achieve success as players, but because they have their own beliefs and purposes.

They have a cooperative relationship with players, not a vassal relationship.

And such a battle has happened not just once, but more than ten times, more than twenty times...

As for Siboer's session, it is the most special one because they suddenly have a group of players who are summoned to help them. The contestants in previous years all fought against each other alone, and

There is no such thing as a leader.

"Every twenty years, the gods will issue an oracle to select a hundred contestants from each tribe. And the person who survives in the end can lift the curse on him, pass through the black wall, and go to a place where there is no curse.

"The outside world." Siboer said: "As for the death of Baishen...that happened five years ago."

Su Mingan listened quietly.

He knew that this was the key world information he had gained after gaining Siboer's trust, and Siboer would only tell him once.

Once he loses her trust, she won't say anything.

"Five years ago, a large curse like a living creature suddenly appeared in the sky, and the sky and the earth were in danger." Siboer said: "At that time, the Hundred Gods, who originally only existed in legends and oracles, really appeared in the sky.

He appeared before the eyes of the tribesmen, and His whole body was covered in strong white light, making it difficult to see his face. In the prayers of the tribesmen, He turned into the sky to block the curse, sacrificed himself, and protected all believers..."

She spoke slowly and her tone was unprecedentedly gentle.

Perhaps because she met a rare listener who did not reject her because she was a pagan, she spoke in detail and completely.

Her face looked too young and too pale under the firelight, like a frail person who had been ill for a long time. When she told the story, she put away her guard and wildness, looking like a little girl.

It was the so-called faith that pushed her to this point.

"And even if God Bai dies, according to the oracle before his death, the one hundred leaders who were originally selected will still participate in this war." She stretched out her hand and slightly pulled the hood that had fallen off to cover her.

Dry hair: "...and I am one of them."

Sibor was selected as a contestant for this session shortly after she was born.

Even though Bai Shen died a few years ago, she still had to participate in this war according to the previous list of contestants.

Contestants have no right to refuse.

Even if they don't want to leave this world, even if they don't want to get the final winner's reward, they can't leave this war.

A weakling like Sibor who can't fight, once chosen by the oracle, does not give up the right to compete. Even if she is destined to become cannon fodder in the crushing of the strong, she must still participate.

Once the competition begins, only one of the one hundred contestants will survive to the end, and the other ninety-nine must die.

Only when the other ninety-nine people die, the only winner can gain the powerful power to leave the dome, lift the curse, and pass through the black wall.

……so.

So when the game starts, when Su Mingan wakes up and opens the door, will you see her lonely back?

Because she knew in her heart that it was impossible for such a weak woman to survive to the end.

She is obviously working so hard to live.

But from the moment she was born and chosen by the oracle, her fate was already sealed.

【...She will die in this war.】

At the beginning of the war, she had already entered the dividing line of death, and the sickle of death was already placed on her neck.

Her life has entered a countdown.

"..."

Looking at Xi Boer's calm face, Su Mingan sighed.

She was still standing in front of him, wearing a bright red robe that almost covered her entire body. The wrist she exposed holding the soul stone was also full of scars from hunting.

When he opened the door and saw her for the first time after waking up, she was standing under the night sky, closer to death than to him.

Therefore, she will be on the verge of collapse, looking crazy, like a frightened animal, a lonely and alert wild wolf.

... It was his words of invitation to his companions and his hug from behind that made her temporarily let go of the idea of ​​giving up on herself.

Su Mingan figured out the other party's thoughts.

He extended his hand.

"Believe me, you will survive until the end." He said.

he thinks.

...if this world is real.

...if Sibor's existence is real.
To be continued...
