Strange environment, unfamiliar orientation.
Only by the large trees beside her, and the stone-paved road known as the official path, did she feel slightly familiar.
What... happened?
Ding Hui felt bewildered, then suddenly realized she was now in someoneās arms, cuddling together at the top of a large tree.
Diao... Deyi?
Looking at Fang Yuās face up close, Ding Hui remembered!
Last night, was it last night? Anyway, it was the night she parted ways with Diao Deyi, she was attacked and passed out immediately, then lost consciousness.
What happened?
Has the Tianyuan Formation been breached?
Whatās the situation in Tianyuan Town now?
Where are they currently?
A heap of questions left Ding Hui confused.
But just then, she heard a voice.
Diao Deyiās voice.
"Youāre awake?"
Looking at the person up close, slowly opening her eyes, Ding Hui suddenly felt those questions didnāt seem that important anymore.
"Diao Deyi, where are we now?"
"I donāt know." Fang Yu shook his head.
He had been running along the official path, not paying much attention to directions, only knowing that their current location must be far from Tianyuan Town.
Because he hadnāt stopped for nearly a day and a night.
Only now did he take a slight rest.
Then, Ding Hui awoke.
"Tianyuan Town..."
Ding Hui wanted to ask more, but was stopped by Fang Yuās gaze.
"Ding Hui, I need to [sleep], the matters of Tianyuan Town, letās discuss them once I wake up, right now, I have something very important to do."
Sleep?
It must be what Blue Star Demon often refers to as [logging off].
Though Ding Hui had much to say and ask, seeing Fang Yuās somewhat impatient demeanor, she nodded slightly.
"Okay, Iāll wait for you. Iāll guard your body."
Ding Hui had a bit of understanding about Blue Star Demons.
After logging off, Blue Star Demonsā bodies enter a state of sleep, and are generally very hard to awaken.
If you fall asleep in a safe place, itās naturally not a problem.
But if you directly fall asleep in a dangerous wilderness, you might not even know how you died.
So having someone to watch over you becomes extremely important.
But Fang Yuās situation was a bit different from that of an ordinary Player.
What exactly would happen, Fang Yu didnāt know either.
Previously in Tianyuan Town, it seemed bound by the Tianyuan Formation, so thereās still a physical entity left in the game.
Now exiting the game, what happens to the game characterās body is unknown.
"Maybe you donāt need to guard my body, Iām not sure... Anyway, see you later."
With that, Fang Yu directly logged off.
Under Ding Huiās witness, Fang Yuās game body didnāt disintegrate and disappear, merely fell asleep in the conventional sense in a second.
With the two already curled up together, there was naturally not much need for action. Ding Hui gently leaned her head against Fang Yuās sleeping shoulder, blinking her eyes, lost in thought.
However, unlike ordinary peopleās confusion or anxiety about the current situation, she only felt excitement, profound excitement.
...
In reality, Fang Yuās body reassembled from powder, condensing into shape.
He felt around his pocket.
Indeed, the Life Seed hadnāt been brought out.
But Fang Yu had anticipated this.
He opened the journal left by Qi Xiaojin.
He was studying the method the Believer uses to unlock the Lock of Human Sins.
That method seemed somewhat different from Fang Yuās current situation.
Fang Yuās current state acted entirely on himself, synchronizing the abilities from the game to the real world.
However, in-game items, such external objects, canāt be synchronized to reality.
In Qi Xiaojinās record, the method for Believers to unlock the Lock of Human Sins involves sacrificing long life to extract items from that world into reality.
Depending on the differing values, individual strength, and energy intensity of items, the consumption of long life varies.
Fang Yu hasnāt utilized the power of the Believer yet.
But heās undoubtedly a Believer already.
Bloodline Spirit is still a Spirit.
So the method in Qi Xiaojinās letter is usable by Fang Yu, and even because he doesnāt need to unlock the Lock of Human Sins, heās always in this state, the energy consumption and the need for long life will greatly reduce.
Perhaps even the learning difficulty could greatly reduce.
Previously, the blow from Sister Jinās death and a series of events in the game made it impossible for Fang Yu to settle his mind and learn this method.
But now, Fang Yu needs to focus and learn this method well.
Only by mastering this method, and bringing elements from the game into reality, can Brother Qingās Life Seed work, giving Sister Jin a chance to come back to life.
Having never been a Believer, Fang Yu found the terminologies, knowledge explanations, in Sister Jinās letter unfamiliar and hard to understand; learning it was fairly difficult.
Fortunately, in the game, Ding Hui was by his side.
If he didnāt understand something, he just needed to remember all the content, and if there was any confusion, heād ask Ding Hui. She was quite skilled with theoretical concepts.
Even if she hadnāt encountered them before, she could easily grasp and explain things to him.
In this regard, Fang Yu had faith in Ding Hui.
Just as Fang Yu was thinking about this...
Bang!
The door was opened.
"Youāre back."
Qi Sheng said in a deep voice.
"Have you gained anything this time?"
Although it had only been a few days, Qi Sheng couldnāt help but ask. He urgently needed to see hope from Fang Yu, otherwise, he couldnāt be at ease, and his heart would never find peace.
