Chapter 455 Two New Endings
It is indeed a good ending, but not completely good.
The key is that it is not the same as the ending that Zhuge Jun originally expected!
At this time, the cutscene CG of the game ending came out. The rescue team came to Charlton City. They entered the Claridge Hotel and rescued the survivors here.
In another ending, Jim, the ambitious puppet craftsman who controlled the player, went crazy. The rescuers had to tie him up with a special straitjacket and take him out for treatment.
The other survivors looked normal, but the little girl who the protagonist had treated came to the cathedral to pray to the statue, as if she was still expecting the protagonist to return safely.
The rescue team also searched the entire cathedral inside and out, but unfortunately they did not find anything and found nothing.
In this way, accompanied by the bells of the cathedral, the rescue team took the survivors away from Charlton City. In the future, Charlton City may be rebuilt, but it is obvious that its decline is inevitable, because with the complete demise of the ancient gods, the monsters on the streets and the crystals underground have also turned into ashes and disappeared completely.
Without crystal energy and blood therapy, Charlton City will never regain its past glory even if it is rebuilt and gradually recovers.
But no matter what, the disaster has subsided and will not spread to the whole world, which is a blessing in disguise.
...
But for Zhuge Jun, this ending is still unacceptable, there is a very obvious gap.
Because he originally thought that he had played the ending of becoming a god!
Among the three endings that have not yet been played, the ending of becoming a god is obviously the scarcest ending.
And the current ending of killing gods, the final result is the death of the protagonist, which is more or less a bit unpleasant.
Of course, in a similar world view, it is difficult for players to assert which of the two results of "complete death" and "becoming a god" is better. After all, becoming a god may also be a state of life worse than death.
But no matter what, Zhuge Jun personally prefers the ending of becoming a god.
"Damn it, why did it explode in the end?
"Can't I eat all three powers? This is beyond my body's tolerance?
"This conjecture is reasonable, but if these three powers are not eaten, it is very likely that the ending of the dependent will be played again.
"Perhaps there are other prerequisites for becoming a god?"
Zhuge Jun was entangled. At this time, he had two completely different choices.
One is to go back directly to the end and continue to explore in the game to see if there are other factors that affect the ending; the second is to enter the second round, play it again from the beginning, and change your route and playing style.
Which method can find the true ending faster? Zhuge Jun dare not assert.
If it is just missing an important branch or prop, the first method is definitely better; but if some deeper prerequisites are required, such as not lying too many times or the key branch has been chosen incorrectly, then if you want to get a new ending, you can only use the second method. .
Zhuge Jun had no idea for a moment. Seeing that it was getting late, he could only choose to go back and rest.
Perhaps after a good night's sleep, there will be new answers?
...
At the same time, Lilith was happily watching the discussions of online players.
So far, players have successively discovered four of the five endings.
Logically, Lilith should be anxious. After all, every new ending means that the players will contribute less negative emotions and more positive emotions in the future.
But Lilith was not nervous at all, as if this was all within her plan.
"Hehe, I will soon let you know what it means to be so close yet so far away! "
Obviously, Lilith is quite confident about the fifth ending hidden in Blood of Lies.
At this time, the first batch of top players have begun to share the methods of achieving the two good endings of Blood of Lies, "Slaughter of Gods" and "Heart of Freedom".
Comparatively speaking, they are more difficult to achieve than the previous two bad endings, but not that difficult.
The key to achieving the ending of "Slaughter of Gods" is to complete the "Moon School" branch in the game, kill the hidden third ancient god Mel, and seize Mel's ancient god heart, fight against Sasra's control, and finally slaughter the three ancient gods.
Then, the player must use his own body as a container to contain the authority of these three ancient gods.
These three ancient gods are in a circular restraint relationship, Ilonak restrains Mel, Mel restrains Sasra, and Sasra restrains Ilonak.
Under this cycle of restraint, the powers of the three ancient gods devoured and destroyed each other, thus completely destroying the power of all the ancient gods.
The monsters, zombies, puppet energy, and crystal veins in the entire Charlton City all disappeared, and the disaster naturally ended.
This was the ending that Zhuge Jun had played before. Obviously, there were many players who had made similar attempts as him, and they also played this ending at about the same time.
After all, although the School of the Moon is a hidden map, it is not that difficult to find as long as you push the map seriously.
The way to achieve "Free Heart" is completely different.
At present, only one player in the entire network has played this ending. According to him, this ending does require choosing a start that is biased towards puppets, but when choosing lies later, specific choices must be made.
The so-called "specific choice" is neither lying blindly nor telling the truth blindly.
At present, most players regard the lying system in the game as a "point-adding system". For example, if you want to play a wizard, you have to lie more, and if you want to play the pure puppet transformation route, you have to tell the truth.
At the beginning, this way of playing is indeed useful, because it can effectively improve the benefits of a specific training route.
For example, in the pure puppet transformation route, players have to replace all parts of their body with puppets, so as to obtain a very high injury reduction rate and achieve the effect of standing and fighting with the boss.
In this case, choosing to tell the truth in all lie options can further improve the relevant upgrade effects of the puppet, making it less likely to have mental problems, and even completely immune to the mental attacks of some ancient gods and sectarians.
That is to become a pure reckless man.
But this player did not play in this way, and the options he chose were all out of his heart.
In short, when he encounters situations such as "human relations", "bad people's temptation", "protecting others", etc., he will choose lies; but when he encounters situations such as "good NPCs who are eager to know the truth", he will choose the truth.
For example, a good NPC lamented that he was old and not as healthy as before, and the player praised him "you are still a powerful hunter", which is "human relations";
Like Bazzi, he used inquiries to spy on information and changed the boss form to trick people. At this time, the player lied to deal with "bad guys' temptation";
Some NPCs with obvious problems were led to other dangerous areas by lying, so that they would not go to the hotel to harm people. This is "protecting others";
And some NPCs have been looking for their relatives during the game, and they are willing to pay any price just to seek the truth. At this time, even if the player finds that their relatives have died, they must tell the truth instead of concealing it out of goodwill, which is also a kind of kindness.
In general, the player's choice to lie or not lie is not out of mechanical dogmatism, but to make judgments based on actual conditions.
That is, to make decisions according to "human thinking characteristics".
At the beginning, many people felt that he was busy in vain. After all, lying and telling the truth seem to be two mutually exclusive options on the surface, corresponding to different directions of ability improvement.
Points on both sides mean that neither of the two development routes can reach the extreme, which is just like mindlessly averaging all the points when adding points, which is definitely problematic.
But it turns out that this player is right, because the lying system of this game actually has hidden attributes!
At the last moment, when the puppet craftsman Jim tried to control him, an option appeared on the player's screen, and he could freely choose whether to accept Jim's control.
You can actively choose to put everything down, or you can choose to resist.
Of course, the player chose to resist, and then there was another fierce boss battle.
Puppet craftsman Jim is a special existence. He can control different puppets to fight with the player, and in the process of fighting, he will use many different means to target the player's puppet body.
At this time, the human side of the player comes into play, not only can he resist the opponent's mental control, but he can also cause mental attacks on Jim in turn.
This battle was quite difficult for the puppet player, but fortunately he won in the end.
In this ending, it doesn't matter how many parts of the player's body have been transformed with puppet technology. Even if the whole body has been replaced with puppet parts, as long as the player can make the right choice for most of the lies, he can still stick to his original intention in the end.
However, compared with the "God-killing Ending", the Free Heart Ending obviously has more hidden dangers and more hope.
Because in this ending, the player failed to kill Sasra.
After discovering that he could not control the player at all, Sasra fled in a hurry, so the power of the ancient god was preserved.
Those monsters and zombies were gradually cleared out and turned into more crystal energy. Using this energy, Charlton's puppet industry and blood therapy industry can continue to exist.
And the survival of the protagonist also proves that Charlton's technology can indeed allow humans to achieve immortality in this way.
Of course, is he who survived in the form of a puppet and inherited all the memories of the original human still the original him?
This is a more profound philosophical question, and it is probably difficult to come to a definite conclusion.
But no matter what, such a successful case will inevitably attract rich people from all over the world who want to extend their lives to Charlton City.
The disaster of the blood of the ancient gods passed without any danger, but when will the next disaster occur? When the next disaster occurs, will there be a powerful hunter like the protagonist to turn the tide and save the world?
This is a very intriguing question.
