$145, Judgment Day
After dinner, the setting sun slowly sank into the horizon from the distant sky.
The trainees stood up from the long table, passed the golden plates and vessels with piles of unleavened bread and wine, and the weeping candlesticks placed on the white tablecloth, and walked to the side door of the church together, looking out at the night.
The heavy wooden door of the main entrance had been closed long ago, fastened with a wooden bolt thicker than a dictionary.
The sky and the earth were dark.
The City of Goodness at night was different from the City of Goodness during the day. The town during the day seemed to be sprinkled with holy light, and everywhere was soaked in a warm sunlight. In the town at night, every household had their doors closed, and even the windows were locked. Looking around, there were only rows of dim street lights on the street, which looked bleak and desolate.
Soon, the night sky began to get darker.
There were strands of rain falling from the sky, first as a drizzle, and finally falling with a crackling sound, hitting the ground.
In the deeper dark clouds, the faint light of lightning was flashing, and through the blackness, the electric sparks caused by the arc in the heavy rain could be clearly seen.
"Sorry, guests, please go to the side hall to rest for a while."
The faces of the nuns showed panic. They quickly closed the side door of the church and apologetically guided the trainees to sit down in the reception room of the cathedral.
Everyone had a vague premonition in their hearts, and followed behind obediently, and no one spoke.
The side hall was not big. It was at the back of the church near the resting place of the clergy. There was a circle of comfortable sofas inside, with furry pillows on them.
The fireplace burned tirelessly in the center of the side hall, and the fine firewood made a pleasant squeak, and the air was filled with a warm breath.
The difference was the solemn atmosphere of the crowd.
Because the main system had cleared the fuzzy memory, and because of the bizarre encounter in this copy, no one spoke for a while.
Xu Su sat by the fireplace, staring at the flames rising in the middle of the firewood, in a daze.
He didn't know what was wrong with him. He was in a horror copy and had no time to think about other things, but his emotions were still flying and difficult to calm down.
When Xu Su came to the infinite loop, he was still in college and was preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination. Because he was studying in a different place, he didn't go home for a whole semester.
That day, the school was on holiday. He packed his luggage and just got home, and he had a big quarrel with his family.
Xu Su himself forgot what the quarrel was about. People are always like this. They are cautious when facing strangers, and they save their temper for the closest people.
In a fit of anger, he locked himself in the room and played games for several hours.
He has always been impetuous, and his temper comes and goes quickly. It is inevitable that he regrets it after communicating with his parents.
So Xu Su got up and turned off the computer, wanting to go out to humble himself and have a meal. Unexpectedly, in such a short time, he was caught by the main system in an infinite loop and could never go back.
After thinking of all this, Xu Su regretted all the way, regretting why he quarreled with his family in the first place.
If his family found that he had disappeared from the room for no reason, how anxious, nervous and sad they would be. If he couldn't go back, who would be able to take care of his parents in the future.
When the NPC who looked exactly like his mother called out to him in the square, Xu Su almost cried.
Because he knew that if it was really his mother standing there, she would definitely say those words.
But that's why Xu Su didn't indulge in it like others.
The more sincere the NPCs were, the more he thought of his family who were waiting for him to return in reality.
Live, you must live.
He clenched his fists.
Not only for himself, but also for...
Xu Su took a deep breath and thought of his confession in the confession room just now.
He didn't choose the sacrament of confession, because confession must be accompanied by the person's personal regret for action. If it is not a sincere confession, there is no point in simply exercising this sacrament.
Xu Su didn't think there was anything wrong with liking someone.
But that person... was of the same sex as him.
Thinking of this, Xu Su felt tangled and distressed.
He was a big-headed person, and before that, he only thought that he cared about Xu Sen like a good brother, until the Halloween event at the Colorful Amusement Park.
But he was a straight man, and apart from anything else, he really never thought that he would have such a mentality towards a man. So at the beginning, he deliberately classified this mood as the suspension bridge effect, thinking that he had subconsciously relied on another person in an extremely dangerous situation.
Now that he came to the Judgment Day copy and saw his former relatives, Xu Su finally faced his inner thoughts.
Even if he could complete the main task of this S-level copy, he would not choose to stay here.
This dreamlike and beautiful world is always fake, and it is a coward's behavior to stay knowing that it is fake.
Xu Su does not want to be a coward. Because there are people he wants to work hard for, he also wants to be brave.
Survive this copy, survive the infinite loop.
Thinking of Xu Sen, who led the team into another dungeon space with Zhuge, Xu Su felt a little worried.
He clenched his fists and made a decision in his heart.
After surviving this dungeon and returning to the studio, he must tell Xu Sen what he really thinks.
No matter what the future holds, at least he has a clear conscience and no longer has to worry about gains and losses.
......
After everyone rested for a while, they all took the Purification Gun and decided to go out together.
There is only one trainee like Xu Su in the team of 30 people. Although most of the other trainees find it difficult to speak, they are more inclined to stay in this S-level dungeon.
After all, this is a rare opportunity to withdraw from the competition. They know their own strength very well. Going back to participate in the competition at this time is tantamount to sending themselves to death. What's more, the magician Zong Jiu once revealed that the next dungeon is likely to be a super S-level dungeon, and one dungeon will determine the final 100 candidates for debut.
As a mere B-level trainee, who dares to pat his chest and guarantee that he can survive in a super S-level copy?
This opportunity is the best opportunity at the moment.
It is a pity that the magician almost wins in this copy without thinking about how to pass the Judgment Day.
So the other trainees who want to stay in this copy formed a group and planned to team up to go outside to explore the situation. After all, there are only six days before the Judgment Day, and the City of Evil will only appear at night, which means that they only have five nights to eliminate the seven deadly sins on their hands.
After the confession, everyone has eliminated one, and there are six left. We must work harder.
Only Anthony hesitated after listening to their discussion and took the initiative to take the leader's work.
He did not forget what Zong Jiu told him, and he knew in his heart that he probably would not pass the Judgment Day just like the NPC said. Because after he confessed just now, the seven black lines on Anthony's arm were still there, without any signs of elimination.
The troublesome problem happened here.
There is a conflict between the main task 2 and the main task 1.
If the copy is destroyed, it will inevitably harm the interests of the trainees who want to stay in this copy. In addition, the interests involved are very important, and it is very likely to develop into an internal conflict or fratricide in the end.
The main system has made a very good calculation.
Who said that team dungeons must cooperate? A team comes in and kills each other because of different interests. This has always been the favorite drama of the main system that does not abide by martial ethics.
Anthony must be cautious in order not to expose his intentions. Even if he may be hated to death by these people when he returns to the trainee dormitory later, he doesn't care. It is obvious that there is a dead end in front of him, and it is natural to fight for his right to survive.
"Okay, then let Anthony be the temporary captain."
Fortunately, he is a high-level A-level trainee, the most famous trainee in this team except the magician. Others did not think much about it and agreed to his request to be the temporary captain.
At this moment, the young pope's childish voice came from the door of the side hall.
"Night is when the City of Good and the City of Evil are connected. Are you sure you want to go out?"
He was accompanied by Zong Jiu, who had agreed to play with the naughty kid.
"Sure." The trainees all nodded.
After glancing around and exchanging a silent look with Anthony, Zong Jiu confirmed his previous guess without any surprise.
The white-haired young man paused, "I'll go too."
Although he didn't need to try his best to remove the black lines on his hands like other trainees, he was still the captain of the team and had to fulfill his responsibilities. He couldn't just sit there and do nothing.
"You must do it yourself to eliminate the sins. It won't be eliminated if others help you."
The little devil standing next to him kindly reminded him and lowered his voice: "Brother, you should go later. Tonight is the first day. You have to give them some room to accept it."
Zong Jiu felt that there was something fishy going on.
Especially when the little devil stood in the side hall and waved at him with a smile, he had a bad feeling in his heart.
"You go first, I'll change my clothes and come."
So he deliberately lagged behind for a while and went out. Sure enough, thunder suddenly came from outside the heavy rain curtain.
"Boom boom boom--"
After the thunder, noisy shouts and screams appeared in the rain. The trainees who had just been out for less than ten minutes threw away their umbrellas one by one and ran towards the church in the heavy rain, looking panicked and full of panic.
In the middle of them, they carried a trainee who was soaked, twitching and white-eyed. They rushed into the side hall, put him next to the warm fireplace, and gathered around nervously.
"What's going on?"
The white-haired magician, who had just changed into a windbreaker and rain boots and was about to go out with an umbrella, frowned deeply, lifted up his clothes and squatted down, using his fingers to probe the trainee's breath.
"Outside, there is..."
The others had fear on their faces, as if they had not yet come to their senses. Because of the rapid running, they could not speak clearly.
Zong Jiu did not rush them, letting them take a breath one by one before continuing to explore.
Although weak, at least there was no danger to life.
But the next second, the magician's eyes narrowed.
Under the jumping firelight of the fireplace, a faint black shadow was infinitely stretched, from the feet of the unconscious trainee to the opposite wall, flickering.
"How did his shadow come back?"
