Chapter 115

Fu Ruixing's expression showed that he didn't care about the sudden change of positions between Yan Yunzhen and Lu Zixi. Lu Zixi could only think of three possibilities when he saw such a confident look.

First, he decided to attack Yan Yunzhen, which was exactly what he wanted. Second, after the live broadcast was canceled, he had already given up on tampering with the suspension bridge. Yan Yunzhen's excessive caution seemed ridiculous to him. Third...

He already knew that he was about to be wanted by a higher-level system. Since his end was near, he didn't need to worry about the consequences of doing this.

Even if the suspension bridge collapsed and the people on it fell off the cliff, what would it matter? He was about to be destroyed anyway, so he didn't need to worry about the butterfly effect caused by the death of the world's native inhabitants and the host. It would be better to drag a few more people to be buried with him. As long as he could kill Lu Zixi, whom he had been chasing for two lifetimes, he would be lucky.

The first two possibilities were almost zero in Lu Zixi's mind.

First of all, as the Doomsday Survival System had said before when speculating on Fu Ruixing's true identity, the system hidden behind him had never pointed its spearhead at Yan Yunzhen, and there was no reason for it to suddenly change its mind and become interested in killing Yan Yunzhen; and completely giving up on tampering with the suspension bridge was inconsistent with his previous painstaking design to force Lu Zixi to the edge of the cliff, forcing Lu Zixi to give up the safer route.

Lu Zixi was almost certain that Fu Ruixing wanted this suspension bridge to be his burial place, and the live broadcast was just to share his death in a grand, cruel and straightforward manner with all those who cared about him.

More importantly, he didn't dare to take the risk. If the third scenario came true and Fu Ruixing really no longer cared about the consequences, he wouldn't be the only one to die.

It was a hot summer day, but Lu Zixi felt cold sweat dripping down his face in an instant.

He suddenly grabbed the sling beside him and shouted, "Wait!"

The people walking in front were startled by him and turned to look at him, but because Lu Zixi had already given himself a vaccination against "fear of heights", no one showed any impatience and they all stopped considerately.

"Wait a moment." Lu Zixi lowered his head, breathing heavily, as if he was really dizzy from the height. However, his brain was constantly working, thinking about the current situation and countermeasures. "I need to adjust a little. Those who can go through, go first."

Even if Lu Zixi was destined to die here today, he could not kill other innocent people.

The tour guide looked around, feeling a little embarrassed, and took the initiative to step forward and whispered a few words to Yan Yunzhen, who seemed the most reliable among the remaining people.

"We went there in separate groups. Anyone crossing this kind of suspension bridge for the first time will be a little scared and won't be able to walk fast. And everyone needs me to lead them all. Just going back and forth has already delayed us quite a bit. If we keep going this long, it'll be dark," the guide advised. "This place is really weird. It gets dark so quickly, and we won't be able to see the road clearly. Wouldn't that be even more dangerous?"

"Wouldn't it be better if I couldn't see clearly?" Lu Zixi heard the noise and came over, saying half-jokingly, "If I can't see the bottom of the cliff, I won't be scared."

"this……"

The tour guide wanted to say something but was interrupted by Fu Ruixing.

"It's actually very simple," Fu Ruixing glanced at Lu Zixi before saying, "Because in the past, everyone needed a tour guide to lead the team back and forth. After the tour guide accompanied them there, it took time and energy to come back. This time, after you accompany the rest of the people there, you don't have to come back. The three of us will go directly there, and we'll just be able to cross the suspension bridge before dark."

"The three of us?" Lu Zixi emphasized the word "three".

"Yes, the three of us." Fu Ruixing raised his chin and nodded towards Yan Yunzhen. "He will definitely accompany you. Besides, when you were in danger and fell off the cliff, Mr. Yan went down the mountain alone and actually found you hiding in the cave. I guess he has strong survival skills in the wild, so crossing this suspension bridge is naturally a piece of cake..."

He then changed the subject and pointed to the nearby suspension bridge, his smile unpredictable. "This kind of suspension bridge is prone to convective winds in the valley. If it were heavy enough and structurally stable, it would be fine. The problem is that it sways quite a bit. If a few more people weren't on it to hold it down, wouldn't it be even more dangerous?"

The tour guide nodded hurriedly, "If we really have to do this, it's safer with more people."

Lu Zixi turned his head and looked at Yan Yunzhen.

And Yan Yunzhen just said lightly: "I'll accompany you."

Lu Zixi knew that this was the best option. If they continued to delay like this, Fu Ruixing might continue to argue with them calmly, but the others could not wait any longer. Once it got dark, they would be playing with the lives of others.

Although he knew that he was facing a system rather than a human, Lu Zixi still felt terrified.

Fu Ruixing completely grasped his human weaknesses. At this moment, he was like a guinea pig in a human experiment on train tracks. He held the track derailer that could change the train tracks. A speeding train was coming from a distance. On both sides of the forked track, a group of innocent people were tied on one side, and he himself was tied on the other side.

Although he knew that pulling the track switch and letting the train hit him would almost certainly result in death, he had no choice but to make this choice.

In the end, the tour guide could only sigh helplessly and asked everyone except the three of them to keep up.

The figures of the others gradually disappeared, leaving only three people standing on the edge of the cliff. The wind blew through the canyon, bringing with it a desolate whimper.

"I thought you would start on the shore." Lu Zixi was the first to break the silence and said, "There are only three of us left anyway, so what difference does it make when we start?"

Fu Ruixing had already achieved his goal step by step. Seeing Lu Zixi directly put the matter to rest, he simply stopped pretending. He looked at him and suddenly smiled: "That's a bit too ceremonial."

"Is it ceremonial to broadcast my death live?" Lu Zixi asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Yes," Fu Ruixing sighed. "Live streaming is so amazing! It can connect people from far away places to the same space and time, allowing the entire world to witness with their own eyes the sudden fall of a rising star in the entertainment industry. They don't have to learn the news through outdated media like newspapers and television. Each of them is a witness to history, a firsthand eyewitness at the scene. The timeliness and authenticity of the news are fully demonstrated in this moment... They will no longer have any expectations or doubts, because they can clearly see that this person is dead, completely dead, and will never come back."

"This is your goal." Lu Zixi took a deep breath. "Because my death in my previous life was so strange and influential, countless people missed me and couldn't believe it, so I was reborn into this world. So you want to eliminate me before I really become famous, and let me disappear from this world in this way witnessed by everyone. If anyone doesn't believe my death, they will use this live video clip and the testimonies of countless people to prove that I am really dead, and no one will be obsessed with my death anymore."

"Maybe there's another one." Fu Ruixing pointed behind Lu Zixi. Lu Zixi didn't dare to look back. He knew it was Yan Yunzhen standing behind him. "But he's here too."

Yan Yunzhen didn't say anything, but just walked in front of Lu Zixi.

"From the first time I saw you, I knew you were a bug in this world," Fu Ruixing said, "because you're too perfect. Family background, talent, background, personality, strength, appearance—you're a genius without any shortcomings. It's interesting, isn't it? A perfect loophole, two words that seem like antonyms, so integrated that they appear in you alone, that you've escaped the punishment of this world's rules."

"And I won't allow this to happen." Fu Ruixing clenched his teeth, his voice spitting out word by word, "As long as it's a bug, it should be erased. Your existence is unforgivable. As long as you die..."

Fu Ruixing's eyes suddenly flickered for a moment, but quickly calmed down.

"As long as you're dead, everything will be back to normal," he said coldly. "I won't allow anything that goes against the system's will to exist."

"They're almost there." Fu Ruixing narrowed his eyes, glanced at the other side of the cliff from afar, and said viciously, "I'll give you five minutes to leave some last words for each other. Be a pair of desperate mandarin ducks."

After saying this, he quickly left the cliff, his steps staggering a little.

"His condition seems a little unstable." Lu Zixi thought thoughtfully, "This may be our chance."

As soon as he raised his head, Yan Yunzhen grabbed his shoulder.

"Yes, this is our chance," Yan Yunzhen said quickly, his eyes shining. Lu Zixi had almost never seen him so excited before, and could only look up at him blankly. "When I was investigating Fu Ruixing before, I told you that he had a name with uncommon characters before his debut, but he changed it to make it easier to read. His real name is Fu Yi. Did you know this?"

"I seem to have heard of it, but I can't remember it." Lu Zixi didn't know why Yan Yunzhen suddenly brought up this out of nowhere, and frowned, "But now I know. Why are you talking about this all of a sudden?"

"After we get on the suspension bridge, before he's ready to attack, use the same method you used to talk to me inside my head to invade Fu Ruixing's brain. Can you do it?" Yan Yunzhen spoke quickly, "and then call him Fu Yi. I don't have time to explain why, but you must call him by his original name when the original 'Fu Ruixing' is least suppressed. Tell him that if he doesn't wake up, he will be completely devoured. This may be our last chance."

Lu Zixi suddenly recalled the meaningful "first meeting" that Fu Ruixing had mentioned when they were discussing whether to reach their destination through the suspension bridge.

He thought at the time that Fu Ruixing might be talking about their first meeting in their previous life, rather than their meeting in this life, but he was unable to remember the scene of their first meeting, so he was forced to give up this clue.

Just now, Fu Ruixing mentioned the "first meeting" again, and then Yan Yunzhen immediately thought of a solution. Does this mean that although he doesn't remember what happened, Yan Yunzhen still remembers the scene of their meeting?

"Is it related to the so-called first meeting?" Lu Zixi knew that Yan Yunzhen would definitely understand what he meant, so he went straight to the point, "What did you remember?"

As expected, Yan Yunzhen nodded.

Fu Ruixing, who had been a little embarrassed just now, has now returned to normal and is striding towards the two of them from a distance.

Lu Zixi was worried that Fu Ruixing would hear their conversation, so he stopped talking and nodded vigorously at Yan Yunzhen.

Even though he still didn't know why Yan Yunzhen remembered their first meeting, which he thought was insignificant, and he didn't know how Yan Yunzhen figured out the secret, he still chose to believe Yan Yunzhen.

This was not because he was desperate and had to trust someone, but because he had a natural trust in Yan Yunzhen.

While they were thinking, Fu Ruixing had already walked up to the two of them.

"Please come in, both of you." He bent down and saluted like a gentleman.
