Meteor Fall Master in the 'Starry Abyss'-Chapter 1334 - 280: Void Line: Towards the [White Wolf] Ending (5)_12

"——What do you mean?"

Ru Xinian was taken aback and then asked:

"You know [players]? No, what does it mean that cheats consume the life source? We are Divine Clan Warriors, the idea of shortening life doesn't exist for us."

"There is no such thing as lifespan, but history exists, affecting a person more profoundly than lifespan."

The Curator smiled and said:

"Can you imagine your existence being completely replaced, as if you were a deleted character that never existed, leaving no trace? That's the price to pay for using cheat programs for [players]. It's so detestable that developed cheat programs, even knowing they were necessary, came with terrible consequences."

"You might not feel it now, but you will gradually discover that your memory deteriorates, you can't rest, you can't fall asleep, you can't perceive the passage of time, your senses become dull, no one will pay attention to you, your friends will act as if you've never been, the harm you've done to others will heal, and the impact you've had on the world will fade."

"That's the conduct of [players]. I've interacted with many generations of [players], and each child is like this."

"Why should I believe what you say? What does an old man like you know, do you understand secrecy?"

"Well, I somewhat understand."

The Curator chuckled and said:

"After all, I am just a Speaker of Secrets, not a professional [Scholar]."

"So you, a Secret Council Speaker, understand a hammer of secrets!"

Ru Xinian's words had just fallen when he immediately realized something was off.

He lifted his head, looking at the Curator with extreme fear:

"You, you are a Secret Council Speaker?"

"Former Speaker."

The Curator said:

"The 'Greedy Speaker' among the Secret Three Speakers, [Collector] Raguel Traiki."

"[Collector]?! You are the Greedy Speaker who controls secret resource allocation!"

"However, compared to me, you might be more familiar with my relatives."

"Your relatives? Are they the current Speaker? But I don't even know who the current Greedy Speaker is..."

"Oh, that child is somewhat famous."

The Curator said:

"Her name is Rednaya Telaki, or Redd Gold."

After speaking, he extended his hand friendly towards Ru Xinian:

"You don't have to believe me, after all, I am not a good person. We are merely doing a simple trade, you remove the cheats from your body and tell me a little bit about things, I have many collections here that can cure your problems, and I can ensure that you won't ever be discovered by Lai Anding as a traitor...why not?"

Ru Xinian remained silent for a moment.

"Such conditions aren't enough to make you extend your hand?"

The Curator raised an eyebrow and said regretfully:

"Well, maybe you're greedier than I thought, you might also have a good potential for being a [Collector]..."

"No."

Ru Xinian was about to cry without tears:

"Can you let your pet lift its paw, my hand is underneath, already being crushed into mush, you're simultaneously letting your pet press me and asking me to shake hands with you, are you mocking me? You're doing it on purpose!"

"Yes."

The Curator smiled:

"Indeed, I am doing it on purpose."

Moments later, the Curator returned from the Spirit Realm with Ru Xinian, who was subsequently taken away angrily by green players, subjected to offline prevention measures, and dragged into an unknown small dark room.

The Starry Abyss People are much kinder than Earthlings, the Curator thought he probably wouldn't be mistreated.

"Curator."

[White Knight] Yamo Knight approached him and asked:

"There's still no way to get in touch with His Excellency Leoz over there. What should we do?"

"That depends on the [Goddess of Truth]'s attitude." The Curator shrugged: "We are not Starry Abyss People after all, it's not convenient for us to make decisions about these matters and it's not our place."

"But you were a Speaker after all..."

"When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Trust their judgment as Starry Abyss People."

Yamo could only shut his mouth and look at the True Martial Partisans over there.

The leadership of the True Martial Party was nearly crippled in this battle, with Oshen, Atreya Nightwind, and Elevent, the three main pillars, all overexerted and are now in a semi-paralyzed, non-combat status.

Other players...after defeating cheats, most Descenders started doing their own things, but those who stayed and were willing to help were still many.

Regardless, the total number of players involved in this battle has exceeded seventy thousand, and players joining the private server amount to more than two hundred thousand. And the population is still increasing.

For the True Martial Party, they've already won this time.

[Goddess of Truth] Charlgarnia is understanding this new type of party organization, such an advanced structure never appeared during her era, but she quickly understood the situation.

Yamo thought for a moment, still stepped forward, drew a circle cross, and directly asked the goddess:

"May the Goddess of Truth always protect us—O Goddess, why are you not worried about the situation of His Excellency Leoz? If there is no Leoz, what will we do?"

"You can rest assured, White Knight."

Charlgarnia said calmly:

"As long as we still exist, it means His Excellency Leoz is safe and sound. Rather than participating in His battles, it is better to complete what we can do, this is how to truly alleviate His burdens."

"But, after all, He is fighting another powerful enemy—"

"Leoz is not the greatest warrior."

Charlgarnia said:

"But He's faced countless powerful enemies and has persisted to this day."

"Worrying about His safety is as ridiculous as ants worrying about humans being killed by dewdrops."

"I believe in His Excellency Leoz, our continuance is the reason for belief. Do not be confused, just wait patiently."
