Chapter 221 A Premonition
Chapter 221 A Premonition
Chen Yu observed the scroll that Princess Delia was worshiping.
This painting is too simple, too abstract, with hardly any strokes.
Therefore, Chen Yu couldn't figure out what the content of the painting was.
At this moment, Princess Delia is just a character in a movie, and he has no way to ask her.
Moreover, even if he waits for the cooldown of the instance to complete and the next instance opens, he probably won't be able to get an answer from NPC Delia.
He has experienced the intelligence of instance NPCs.
Although the character's logic will be smoother after the difficulty increases, NPCs will still automatically ignore content unrelated to the instance task.
If the topic goes slightly beyond the scope, they will use the same answer to brush off the professionals in the instance, without giving any additional information.
The carriage is moving faster and faster, and Chen Yu follows the carriage to continue observing Princess Delia.
At this moment, from the perspective of the people in the carriage, only Chen Yu's upper body is inside the carriage, like a ghost floating around, creating a horrifying scene.
In reality, he is standing inside an Abyss Gluttony Monster's man-eating flower, phasing through the bottom of the carriage.
Except for the conversation between Delia and the queen when they got on the carriage, the three people inside the carriage who are qualified to speak remain silent.
Just as Chen Yu was about to observe Princess Delia up close, suddenly there was a "bang" sound, and he collided with an invisible wall.
The carriage also passed through Chen Yu's body and continued driving into the distance.
Behind the carriage is a mighty kingdom army.
Although they are exhausted, their morale is high due to their great victory.
Unable to continue tracking the carriage, Chen Yu commands the Abyss Gluttony Monster to return and prepares to make a detour to Demon Dragon City to see if he can find any clues.
However, the 10-minute rest time has already expired, and the entire instance has gone completely dark.
Helplessly, Chen Yu can only exit the instance.
Outside the instance teleportation gate, four senior students are still waiting.
"You've worked hard, are you tired? Do you need to replenish your physical and mental strength? Does your profession consume a lot? I have some non-attribute magic crystals here, you can recover first," the mage senior sister immediately approached Chen Yu and asked with concern.
"Thank you, Senior Sister Wang, but it's not necessary," Chen Yu smiled and shook his head, "It didn't take much effort."
"By the way, Senior Qian," Chen Yu said to Qian Qian, "When you assassinated Princess Delia, are you sure she was the one who killed you?"
"Well... I'm not sure," Qian Qian recalled for a moment, "I was just about to make a move on Princess Delia, and then I died."
"But, the most probable person who made the move was Princess Delia, because there was no one else around her at that time."
"Thank you, Senior Qian."
Chen Yu was a bit confused.
After Princess Delia was defeated, she still maintained a high posture and showed contempt towards her stepmother, as if she was facing a disgusting insect.
Where does she get the confidence?
Qian Qian didn't see who killed him.
And in the previous instance, there was never a powerful presence around Delia.
Could it be that she has always had strong personal strength?
But why did she perform so poorly in the ranking instance?
"I heard that in some related instances, the same NPC can exhibit different strengths."
"For example, the Sweeping Monk in Shaolin Temple."
"In the plot of Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Bo, he will show invincible strength."
"But in other plots, he might just be an unknown old monk, someone an ordinary person with a knife can kill."
"When creating a copy, different NPCs are assigned different functions, which also represent different strengths."
"Perhaps in the real timeline, someone is indeed powerful, but after the formation of the time-cut copy, the situation changes."
"In the period of time when he did not take action in the real timeline, if an event occurs to form a copy, the copy will not recognize the existence of this NPC, so it will not shape its formidable strength."
"Is Princess Delia the same? Does she have powerful strength as a boss in this copy?"
"But this doesn't make sense."
"The ranking match copy is obviously a real-level copy."
"The difference between a real copy and a normal copy is that the plot and tasks are basically a faithful reproduction of the real timeline, otherwise the characters would not have such high-level intelligence."
"No, even if the ranking match copy ignores Delia's true strength, it still doesn't make sense."
"Because this copy is obviously in the same period and plot as the ranking match copy."
"It's just a small plot extracted from the major plot of the ranking match copy."
"And this plot is closely related to Delia, so it's impossible for the same character to have different strengths."
"What could cause two people in the same period and plot to show different strengths?"
Chen Yu pondered.
Suddenly, a strange thought came to his mind.
"Could it be because of me?"
Could it be that in the ranking match copy, Delia's strength was reduced due to his interference?
But upon careful consideration, it doesn't make sense logically.
If Delia in the real timeline has strong personal strength, there is no reason for her to show no performance in the ranking match copy.
After all, Delia in the ranking match copy was brought out of the copy by him using a bug.
In essence, she is like a puppet under his control and cannot hide any information from him.
Compared to himself being the variable that affects Delia's strength, Chen Yu is willing to believe that Delia was simply not strong during this period and her strength was obtained in the late stage.
Qian Qian was killed in an instant, which was the work of a skilled expert from some dark magic sect specializing in stealth.
Although Chen Yu himself is an illogical existence, he still subconsciously tends to think logically.
For the questions he can't figure out, Chen Yu decides to temporarily put them aside.
There are still many copies in the Secret Realm, and these plots are likely to unravel some of his doubts.
"Senior sisters and senior brothers, while clearing the copies, I have also summarized some information that I hope will be useful to you."
Chen Yu inputs the monster information of the Hell-level "Great Battle" copy into a storage card and hands it to Wang Zhongyu.
"Thank you, Junior Brother Chen!!!"
Several Rank Two senior brothers and sisters receive the storage card and are immediately overjoyed, thanking Chen Yu repeatedly.
They were only clearing the difficult-level copies.
Although the plot progression is the same, the strength of the monsters varies greatly.
Now that they have firsthand information, the difficulty of the formal strategy will be greatly reduced.
After bidding farewell to the senior brothers and sisters, Chen Yu continues on to the next Rank Two copy.
This is a Rank Two copy entrusted to him by other mentors.
At this moment, he is eager to learn more about Delia.
Perhaps he came to this Secret Realm before out of curiosity or to study the Book of Crests.
But now, he has a premonition deep inside him.
Following Delia's deeds may allow him to witness something extraordinary.
