Originally, Fangzheng wanted to teleport Nimf over, but for some reason, this place blocked all teleportation. Therefore, Fangzheng had no choice but to evacuate the area with the others and return to the foot of the mountain through the thick fog. Only then did he successfully use the summoning spell and summon Nimf over.
Originally, Fangzheng did not intend to bring Nimf with him on this adventure. Firstly, the characteristics of the little angel were too obvious. Not to mention other things, the collar around her neck was enough to attract attention. Moreover, the relationship between Fangzheng and the little angel was almost well-known. Therefore, once the little angel appeared, no matter how Fangzheng disguised himself, it would be useless.
Secondly, Nimf was currently working hard with the other children in the 'Sinapus' school to digest the knowledge of the Forerunners that they had obtained from the Halo World, in order to upgrade the standard of the entire Tendo Temple to the complete second level. Previously, although Fangzheng had a fleet that could compete with the Forerunners in the Halo World, it was only a fleet. Apart from that, in other aspects, Fangzheng's Tendo Temple was not just a star and a half compared to the Forerunners.
If not for the fact that the Forerunners were not immune to magic and were arranged by Fangzheng with the help of the 'Annals of Silence', it would have taken Fangzheng a lot of effort to get rid of them.
But it was not easy for Fangzheng either.
Although the Forerunners were not immune to magic, they were actually on the verge of being immune to magic.
Just like when the Forerunners were in the Shield World, Fangzheng could not do anything to them. The isolated space that the Forerunners invented to store the stars was almost equivalent to a world barrier, completely cutting off all the influence of magic on them. Otherwise, Fangzheng would not have played 007 and climbed on the GAL battleship to get away with it.
Although the Forerunners were no different from ordinary people in front of Fangzheng after losing the protection of the Shield World, this also reminded Fangzheng that when technology developed to a certain level, it could be 'resistant' and 'immune' to magic.
Fortunately, the Forerunners in the Halo World were all dead, and the Forerunners were finished. Otherwise, Fangzheng really did not know if his own mission was to destroy the Forerunners or something like that.
But now, Fangzheng needed the little angel's help.
"… Is that so?"
After listening to Fangzheng's explanation, the summoned Nimf frowned and pondered for a moment.
"Then, Master, please take me to that village to have a look."
"Of course."
Fangzheng nodded, then led Nimf along the mountain path again.
The journey was a little boring, but no one had any intention of giving up. Fangzheng originally wanted to ask Hu Tao and Kuang San if they wanted to go back to the Tendo Temple to rest, but he was rejected by both of them. They were obviously very curious about what happened in the village, and they naturally wanted to know the cause and effect of the matter. Fangzheng did not say much about it. In any case, whether it was Kuang San or Hu Tao, their strength was enough to face ordinary threats. If it came down to it, Kuang San could just run away with Hu Tao.
Under Fangzheng's lead, the group once again walked into the thick fog. The moment they entered the fog, Nimf could not help but let out a soft cry.
"Huh?"
"What's wrong? Nimf? "
Fangzheng turned around and looked at the little angel behind him. Nimf widened her eyes and frowned at the fog in front of her.
"The data here … is a little unusual."
"Oh?"
Fangzheng, of course, understood what the little angel was talking about. He raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
"What do you mean?"
"I don't know yet … I need to analyze it first … It might take some time. Let's move on."
"Okay."
Fangzheng was not surprised by the little angel's reaction. In fact, Fangzheng had already noticed the problem from the performance of the 'Tendo Temple'. The seemingly confusing and contradictory information almost caused the 'Tendo Temple' to crash. It was obvious that the little angel was having a hard time in this place.
Therefore, Fangzheng did not say much. He led the little angel and the others forward until they were out of the thick fog. The village appeared in front of them again.
But …
"Huh? It changed again? "
Hu Tao 'eyes widened in surprise when she saw the burning village in front of her. At that moment, they suddenly saw a figure covered in flames stumbling towards them.
"Help! Help …!! Ahhhhh!! "
The figure raised his hands at Fangzheng and company in despair as though he was pleading for help. However, before he could finish his sentence, a few ghouls suddenly jumped out from the surroundings and pressed the figure to the ground. With a tragic cry, the person was quickly torn to pieces by the ghouls.
However, the ghouls were clearly not satisfied with that. Soon, they turned around and aimed their gazes at Fangzheng and company.
"Get ready, Kuang San, Hu Tao."
Looking at the ghouls, Fangzheng snorted and summoned the pitch-black greatsword again. Kuang San and Hu Tao were also ready for battle. But compared to before, the two of them looked much more relaxed this time. They had already killed these ghouls once, so why couldn't they kill them again?
But this time, they didn't have to do anything.
"I found it! Master! "
At that moment, Nimf, who had been silent all along the way, suddenly shouted happily. She spread her arms, and crystal clear wings emerged from Nimf's back. Then, a round crystal formed by an equilateral triangle began to revolve around Nimf.
"Domain Release! Reconstruct!! "
Along with Nimf's crisp voice, Fangzheng's surroundings suddenly began to change. Then, everything began to change rapidly.
The burning houses, ghouls, corpses, and everything around them seemed to have been turned into sand. They disintegrated into starry light balls and rearranged themselves. Fangzheng and the others felt their vision blur as if a gust of wind blew past them. Then, the quiet and peaceful village from before appeared in front of them again.
"This … What is this …"
Although Kuang San and Fina had encountered many surprising things today, the scene before them still left them dumbfounded. At that moment, Nimf landed slowly, wiped the sweat off her forehead, and looked at Fangzheng with a smile.
"Analysis complete, Master."
"Thank you for your hard work, Nimf."
Fangzheng stretched out his hand and stroked Nimf's little head. Then, he quickly raised his question.
"But then again, what is going on?"
"That's a simple question."
Hearing Fangzheng's question, Nimf smiled faintly.
"Because Master, the place you are currently in is only an incomplete, abandoned space."
"Abandoned space?"
"Yes."
Hearing Fangzheng's question, Nimf snapped her fingers. Soon, they saw light particles gathering around Nimf, forming ghouls, villagers, and cultists. But at this time, they looked like puppets, standing there blankly without any reaction.
"Wait a minute, you mean …"
Looking at the people in front of him, Fangzheng's heart skipped a beat.
"We are now in a dungeon?!"
"That's right."
Nimf nodded.
"Strictly speaking, this place is a … 'Recycle Bin'. The things here are all abandoned fragments and data, so Master, the place you are in now is not a real world. It's just a man-made … .dungeon space. "
"Wait, but aren't these people very real?"
Hearing this, Hu Tao asked in surprise.
"If they're NPCs in the game, shouldn't they only say some repetitive words? But their reaction to us is no different from ordinary people, right? "
"That's just the most basic AI. In fact, it's not completely impossible to achieve this level."
In the past, Fangzheng would probably have the same question as Hu Tao, but after experiencing the Halo world, Fangzheng already understood this point. Back then, the Forerunners longed to reorganize themselves after information technology, but they failed because they were not strong enough. Judging from the current situation, since this place was successful, it meant that this person had a higher level of technology than the Forerunners. And there could only be one person with this level of technology.
Thinking of this, Fangzheng looked up at the sky.
The Goddess of Order.
If even the Forerunners could turn biological data into information technology, there was no reason the Goddess of Order couldn't do it.
More importantly …..
"Nimf."
Fangzheng looked at the little angel again with a solemn expression.
"You mean ….. the dungeons here are all failed products?"
"Yes, Master. According to my analysis, that's the case. The dungeon materials here use the same environment, but the use of other data is very childish. It's like ….. "
Speaking up to this point, Nimf seemed to be in a difficult position, as if she didn't know how to describe it.
"It's like a beginner trying to use the tools in his hands to create ….."
"Okay, I understand what you mean."
Indeed, even without Nimf's explanation, Fangzheng already knew what she was trying to say. In the process of developing games, Fangzheng had seen many such people. Some programmers, when they just started working, felt that they were invincible after just mastering the basic operations. It was only a matter of time before they crushed Blizzard and trampled on Black Isle. So, even if they were asked to make the simplest ping-pong game, they would try to add some sort of storyline, character interaction, shop exchange, data balancing …..
Of course, the result of this was that when the time was up, they would achieve nothing.
I'm just asking you to make a ping-pong game, not to make a hero of the storm!
But the problem now was ….. these were all failed products, so ….. where was the successful dungeon?
In other words, what kind of person could modify real data at will? Or … .something else?
