Chapter 257: We?

Mr San smiled

“[S] class, [A] class… what is the difference between them? They are but a law set down by the system Is it important?”

He stood up and sloalked to the side He opened a wardrobe and retrieved a trench coat fro it, he said, “Mr Chen Xiaolian, if you are only going to ask these simplistic questions, then I suppose we can end our conversation here”

“Wait! Wait!”

Chen Xiaolian stood up anxiously and said, “I still have a lot of questions to ask you!”

Mr San considered it and said, “Very well, we still have some time”

Chen Xiaolian strained himself as he contemplated his questions Then, he took a deep breath and asked, “You… just what are you? Player? Or Awakened?

“What I mean is, are you also a participant in the London instance dungeon? But if you are not, then how could you be here? Logically speaking… according to the laws of the systeeon

“So how did you appear inside this London instance dungeon? Does that eon?”

Mr San s the trench coat, he walked to the table and slowly picked up the teapot and took it to the sink He poured out the contents of the teapot and slowly rinsed it

His movements were very slow and precise

“Mr Chen Xiaolian Before I answer this question of yours, can you first tell oal?”

Chen Xiaolian was startled

My goal?

“I want to survive and also protect ht I want to fight together with theether!” Chen Xiaolian said firoal However… what happens after that?”

Mr San looked at Chen Xiaolian

Chen Xiaolian was shocked by the question

What happens after that?

Chen Xiaolian found that he was unable to answer the question

“Instance dungeons will always appear This gaain, work hard again and again Yet, in the end, you will still be constrained by the rules of the instance dungeon

“When it wants you to enter an instance dungeon, you will have to enter an instance dungeon

“When it wants you to encounter problems, you will encounter probleain, successfully coain…

“But what happens after that?

“Where is the ending?

“If this is alocation?

“Mr Chen Xiaolian, how ed to coht about it

The first instance dungeon was the underground area in the deserted island, followed by the Mausoleu, Tokyo and London

“Four,” answered Chen Xiaolian as he took a deep breath

“Oh, just one more and you would be a veteran,” said Mr San with a faint sood Surviving through four instance dungeons and having your own guild

“But what I want to ask you is… how long do you think you can hold on?

“Another four eons?

“Ten? Twenty? Fifty? Hundred?

“Or a thousand?

“Ten thousand?”

Chen Xiaolian was at a loss for words

“This is a line There is a starting point, yet there is not end” Mr San sighed He brought the teapot and teacups that he had washed to the table Then, he pulled out a clean piece of cloth and began wiping theed them carefully and said, “You do not have the power to stop There is also no possibility of you finding the ending This ga that, a faint trace of sorrow appeared within Mr San’s expression

“This feeling where you cannot see hope, where the road before you is utter darkness, without a speck of light”

Chen Xiaolian’s heart sank

However, he was, after all a youngof melancholy came as quickly as it faded He shook his head and said, “What is the connection between this and my question? Mr San?”

“You askedof your existence? What is it you are chasing after?” Mr San gave a faint smile and continued, “Rather than ask me, why not ask yourself?”

Chen Xiaolian was shocked

“You’ve met ‘it’ before, haven’t you?”

Mr San looked into Chen Xiaolian’s eyes in a fulthe prograsters think, it is probably called GM Have you met it?”

Chen Xiaolian’s body was shaken

GM!

This Mr San knows the existence of GM!

“Ho did you know?”

Mr San did not say anything He silently regarded Chen Xiaolian and said, “What did it say to you?”

Chen Xiaolian hesitated for a moment

Mr San only s, the system is everywhere; the same applies to its laws Thus, the GM is also omnipresent The only exception is that it cannot participate in instance dungeons Generally speaking, it is aIt can perceive everything you say, everything you see and everything you can think of
