Chapter 204 Comic Forum & The Choice to Start Over If You First...

The opening scene is a shocking cover image of the collapse of two cities, and the first scene introduced by the comic is a celebration square in a prosperous and bustling city - Barbary?

The screen shows various lively scenes one by one, fireworks and colored paper filling the sky, magicians in front of the fountain, bustling and crowded taverns, vendors pushing carts, and passers-by holding children with smiles on their faces...

And a black-haired boy standing in front of a vendor trying to buy all the spare air balls.

Barrage: [? ? Where did you hit me? Coming? ]

[Where is Yunzai's back? He stands out in the crowd... not because he's dressed in all kinds of colors (lights a cigarette)]

[Barbari? ... Hey, has this place name appeared before? ]

[So, the fifth floor gate of the Aletta Palace in the previous episode is actually a portal! I understand, Master.]

Chu Xiuyan blinked, as if thinking: [Is this a flashback? ]

The system finally calmed down from its anxiety and said, "Just adjusted the order."

Chu Xiuyan continued to watch. The figure of "Yun Yan" only appeared briefly at the beginning. The next shot quickly came to the Aletta Palace, fell on Chu Li, and gradually unfolded with his actions.

He found Daniel and manipulated him to reveal important information about the "Fallen City", but then he accidentally stepped on a trap and accidentally entered the dream world with the mysterious Xuanwu, and finally entered the virtual Barbary.

Chu Xiuyan had a general idea of what was going to happen next, from the projection surveillance footage of the [Ocean] on that mysterious island.

Xuan Wu discovered the ruins of the city and the previous base chief "Yang Yongliang", and immediately went into a frenzy and chased him everywhere.

On the other side, Chu Li knocked on the door of a private clinic?

But, the problem is, the surveillance footage of [Ocean] on Barbary did not show anyone in this clinic.

And the comics drawn by the system did not show what Chu Li saw.

When Chu Xiuyan raised his doubts, the system replied: [I also discovered this when I was preparing to draw a comic and opened the video recording. The entire map of Barbary is bright, except for that clinic, which is completely dark and cannot be explored.]

Chu Xiuyan: [……]

West? North? High-tech?

Chu Xiuyan sighed: [Tong, useless.]

The system is in a state of self-isolation. [I am indeed quite useless.]

Chu Xiuyan: [!!!]

He immediately began to comfort the system, praising it for its ability to travel back in time, draw comics, and its high level of ability to criticize others, and for eating melon seeds in the host's brain, etc.

After praising the system to the point where it looked like its tail was sticking up, Chu Xiuyan turned his attention back to the comics.

The subsequent plot develops very quickly. After "Yun Yan" meets Xuan Wu, he talks with Yang Yongliang, who is suspected of having the power to break [Time]. The crazy old man pulls "Yun Yan", his eyes wide open, full of madness, and one sentence after another is displayed in bold and black fonts on the screen.

"Everyone? Is? Here? A few more lines disappeared."

"——Don't be led astray! ...You may have gone astray, but you can still make amends! Don't believe in choices. This was never a choice. Take a step forward! You must take a step forward!"

“—Haha, I’m a god! I’m a god! I see it, I see the future—”

"The end of the world is coming! The end of the world is coming! The bloody flood, the collapsing sky! A fog that no one can escape from! The last bloody fog, haha, even gods are ants! Gods are also - a dead end, a complete dead end! No, no, I am a god, I can live forever, I will not die, all of this? It's not over yet, I have escaped the cycle of reincarnation, I have already -"

The camera turned and stopped on Yunyan's face, whose eyes gradually widened.

In the next scene, the camera switches to the Aletta Palace outside.

The lion boss, holding the voice transmission snail in his hand, sighed deeply, pinned it to his collar, and then waved his hand behind him. A large group of mysterious people in black followed him and attacked the Aletta Palace.

——The Lion Boss’s night raid is also a kidnapping operation that is about to be carried out to support Zhang Chun’s plan.

Seeing the system focus on the sound transmission snail at the collar of the lion boss, Chu Xiuyan thought that now everyone knows that Zhang Chun is behind the scenes directing the operation remotely.

Barrage: [Voice Transmitter Snail! Cute!! So? Why haven’t the peripherals been released yet? Let’s release it together with the last Dudu Snake. 】

【Uncle! Yyds! 】

[Am I the only one whose brain exploded? The "line", "choice", "future", "doomsday", "reincarnation" and so on that crazy old man talked about, even God? There is no escape from the dead end... I scratch my scalp like crazy (howling) (going crazy) (crawling in the dark)]

[I don't know why, but I feel something is not right. Compared to the previous instances where I could kill a lot of people with force alone, this instance seems to have a lot of things buried in it? (Aba Aba)]

[But it doesn’t matter! Everyone is here, everyone is here! How can so many people not take down a sea god? (Hands on hips) Really? Let Yunzai get a divine pollution buff, and then let the uncle bring the blackened Yunzai back (happy)]

[Oh my god, Zhang Chunzhen is here? ]

Only one third of the plot of the second episode remains. The Sky Church team led by Boss Lion successfully sneaked into the secret room on the fourth floor of the Aletta Palace and then revealed the real purpose.

The girl with the dark green pigtails looked incredulous.

In the picture, a giant black snake suddenly appears and swallows most of the people, occupying a single frame. Its densely packed scales reflect a cold light. Wu Gaoyuan stands on the black snake's head and looks down at everyone, talking and laughing, but? No? There is not much emotion.

Thick dust was floating on the ground, and the figure of the lion boss was looming. A line of small words appeared next to it:

"Hey, why didn't this lady get swallowed by a black snake?"

Barrage: [Boss Lion, be more handsome for one more second! ]

[Wu Wu! Teardrop mole beauty? Man, I can do it!!]

[Oh, uncle is here too! This is his appearance... but he's also very handsome! Even if he's slimy, he's still very handsome?!]

[I also want to be swallowed by a snake (Shashasha)]

[You in front? ]

【!!! Brother Water Monster is here too! Good, good, good! 】

Chu Xiuyan scrolled down and saw the last scene of this episode. It was Cui Zhiyong in a strange and remote corner, stepping on Fu En's shoulder and smiling maliciously.

He felt happy and excited. After all, all the familiar partners were working together for a common goal. This made him feel that he was not alone. It was indeed more fun when everyone worked together in a lively manner!

The next second, Chu Xiuyan saw a comment: [Everyone? Are you?, where is Yunzi! Where is Yunzi!? (Looking around) Oh, Yunzi is offline (indifferent)]

Chu Xiuyan: "... Trapped, damn it."

The latest episode ends here. When he was about to exit, he saw a comment saying there was an Easter egg, so he swiped back.

The next second, a scene with red text on a black background came into view.

[Yunyan, as I said, we are very similar. ]

——This is what the [Ocean God] once whispered in his ear.

Chu Xiuyan felt his heart beating a little faster.

All? Blame the system for being so immersive.

Just swipe away and go to the forum.

The updated forum is just as lively this time.

The most popular are two analysis posts, the author is the same person.

——【What kind of god is the "Ocean God"? 】

Main post: In fact, there are not many descriptions of Poseidon in the comics so far, but there are many side descriptions. In addition, according to the analysis conducted by Zhang Chun in the latest episode, Poseidon is probably a paranoid god who loves his lover so much that he has gone astray. Everyone in the Holy City of Aletta worships and believes in Poseidon. Even though the Sky Church has its memory tampered with, it still respects the Sky God (but in fact, it is also Poseidon, but the memory is wrong).

Then we can make a simple inference.

First, why did Poseidon drag the city of refuge from land into the deep sea? Because land is an area that He cannot control, only the deep sea can completely isolate Him from all disasters, even the threat of blood crystals. I wonder how many people have discovered that there is an alien in the Holy City of Aletta. Even when the northwest team arrived, everyone looked around curiously without dodging, which shows that they did not have the concept of "alien" in their cognition.

Second, why are there so many cities that have collapsed and fallen in the ocean? According to my guess, humans can get sick, get injured, and die, so will humans who believe in gods often pray to gods to keep them from getting sick, aging, and dying? Very likely. So do these requests belong to the power of [Ocean]? No? . The sea god cannot keep humans from getting sick or dying, so... he has the power of "dreams" that can turn all impossibilities into possibilities, and he appears. The situation after that is Zhang Chun's analysis. Mastering the power of the ocean and the power of dreams at the same time, the sea god gradually loses control, so he simply destroys the city in the deep sea, causing it to fall to death, and finally drags the city and all the humans in it into the dream world, so that he can forever prevent illness, aging, and death, and even all the bad influences in the real world.

Third, the choice. The Sea God cannot control both powers, so He hopes that Yunyan can inherit one of them. But if Yunyan does not choose, then the Sea God who can no longer hold on will definitely give up the power of the ocean, and then the flood covering the whole world will sweep across the entire continent - this is the threat.

To sum up, in my opinion, Poseidon is a god who loves people to the point of madness and paranoia, but his love is a superior love, an arrogant love, and an unequal love, just like the kind of love we give to expensive and precious dolls by dressing them up carefully and then putting them in our cupboards for appreciation.

Do you like it? Of course. But is it important? Not important. In the end, it is just to satisfy my own selfish desires.

So, I totally disagree with what Poseidon said to Yunyan. What does "we are very similar" mean? We are completely different, okay? (Yunzai-style middle finger.jpg)

1# (Original poster): [Oh my god, just finished reading the update? A new burst of energy? I came up and wrote a long paragraph. I’m tired of writing. Let’s take a breath? Slowly...]

2#: [Big Brother!!! Oh my god, this analysis is so great! ]

4#: [Agree? Yunyan has experienced so much along the way and met so many people. The bond between him and the uncle and the water monster brother cannot be simply summarized by "we are very similar" (angry?)]

6#: [From what we can see so far, the gods that have appeared have their own personalities, but the core logic can probably be summed up in two words: “arrogance”…Except for Monkey King, who was born from a “myth” in a human story. It can even be said that he was born from humans. I still remember the golden pillar that fell from the sky in the first volume. It was so handsome (slurp)]

8#: [Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa (I don’t know what to say? Anyway, let me go crazy first)]

10#: [I always feel that all gods are walking a similar path, only Yunzai is going in the opposite direction.]

12#: [But in fact, a long time ago, Yunzai also had the feeling of wanting to take all the responsibility on himself, but was forcibly suppressed by the uncle. The arrogance of the gods is probably due to their own life class and powerful power. Did the uncle foresee something in advance, so he repeatedly reminded Yunzai not to become a god? To ask him to believe in them?]

15#: [Reply to 12l, you are a genius (looking up) but... Divine pollution is really cool... (poking hands)]

17#: [Yunzai style horse swing.jpg (Aba Aba Aba)]

18#: [All? I told you not to take any screenshots? You are using them as emoticons, damn it! ! ! ]

Chu Xiuyan let out a long breath, thinking that every time he read the forum, he felt as if the readers had actually traveled through the blood crystal world in person. The analysis was too detailed and thorough. After reading many posts, he almost knelt down and called him "big brother".

Fortunately? Scroll down, there are still many casual discussion areas in the homepage? Posts, Chu Xiuyan changed to a four-square comic strip of if line to ease his mood.

I don’t know how much time passed when a voice suddenly sounded behind me.

"You don't seem to care much about the parallel universe?"

Chu Xiuyan was immersing himself in the forum, and replied, "I care. I care. The sky is about to fall."

Chu Wenxi sighed softly, "Speak nicely to me."

Chu Xiuyan turned around helplessly and sighed, "Although it is a parallel universe, it is not the world of "Chu Xiuyan". I will not feel close to and care about the people he knows just because of my other self, nor will I subconsciously contact them just because there are many familiar faces in this world. In other words, even if I know the truth of the parallel universe, I will only be more certain that I can't increase the pollution. As for other things, it seems that there is no change... Uncle, don't worry, don't you know what kind of person I am?"

And in response to this? Chu Wenxi's expression gradually relaxed.

"Very good." He looked at Chu Xiuyan who was sitting not far away, and said with a little satisfaction: "You can still tell the difference, very good."

Chu Xiuyan waved his hand, stood up from the soft chair, said something to Chu Wenxi, and prepared to go home? .

When I stepped out of the door, I happened to see a familiar figure coming out from the end of the corridor.

The young man in a white coat and round-framed glasses had a tired face, but when he saw Chu Xiuyan, he immediately raised his hand and greeted him happily, "Long time no see, Mr. Lingyi. Why are you here?——"

"Oh, long time no see, dear teacher-san~"

Chu Xiuyan responded casually, raised his hand and high-fived the other person's raised hand, then took the elevator downstairs without looking back, leaving the young man with round-framed glasses standing there in confusion, mumbling to himself strangely: "Why does Mr. Lingyi call me teacher?"

He didn't think too much about it. After all, as soon as he turned around, he found that the special metal door of Room 2 had fallen to the ground again. He was immediately frightened and scratched the wall. Chu Wenxi, who was looking inside, shouted, "Boss! Boss, why is this door collapsed again?"

Chu Wenxi couldn't put down the pen he was holding. He heard the brief conversation in the corridor. He couldn't help but pinch his brows with a headache and replied irritably: "All? They said that an elephant came to kick the door!"

The young man with round glasses: "...Although this explanation is perfunctory and rude, but you are the boss, so I believe it again."

Chu Xiuyan returned to his home and rested for a night. The next day, he returned to his normal college life. After two days of rest, not only was the divine pollution washed down to less than 3%, but his mood also improved a lot.

"So now? Let's deal with the ocean first!"

System: [Oh! Time travel activated——]

The dim vision came again, and for some reason, Chu Xiuyan felt that the darkness seemed to last especially long this time. He felt groggy, as if he had just had a nap.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw a vast expanse of sea, the clear sea surface was calm, the waves sparkled, reflecting the sky and the surrounding scenery, peaceful and serene. Occasionally, waves would rise one after another, hitting the rocks and splashing tiny waves, and even the air was mixed with a moist and fresh scent, which was refreshing.

Chu Xiuyan slowly sat up from the beach and looked at his body. He was wearing ordinary short-sleeved shirt and long pants when he went to the freshman registration office. He lifted up his clothes and saw that his skin was smooth and clean without any wounds.

"...Ah, could this be the legendary crossing to another world? The setting of being hit by a car and going to another world is already old-fashioned, damn..."

With a click, Chu Xiuyan lay back on the sand, looking up at the sky through the unfamiliar large leaves. White clouds that looked particularly soft floated slowly, and beams of bright golden light fell in front of him. Everything looked particularly beautiful and peaceful.

"But, I still want to experience college life. I had to trick my mom and uncle into going across half the country? A ...

He muttered something in a low voice, and after a long while, his expression suddenly became dazed for a moment, his mind was blank, and he said almost unconsciously: "...I always feel like I had a very long dream. Is that...a dream?"
