Chapter 88 The End of the Story (3) “I thought you wouldn’t have…
I couldn't stop laughing. The actor tried to scare the sparrow but failed miserably. Who is the childish one? ()
【Xiaoyu: Brother, you finally remembered me】
[Honestly, the two protagonists seem to be thriving in prison much happier than in reality. Xiaoyu keeps talking to Xiaojiang about our brother, and I'm at my wit's end, listening with such gusto. Are we going home, baby?]
Xiaoyu mumbled a lot, but Xiaojiang only caught the part about our robot being able to control his consciousness. I'm starting to lose my composure. Shibao, didn't you notice that the look in his eyes wasn't right?
Wait, wait, let's get back to the point! So the sequel is about to end?! No! It feels like we're not even three-quarters of the way through the original! Old thief, do you dare to suddenly release the final chapter and all the cute little daily stories? (I'm dreaming)
Feiyu left after giving Chen Que the instructions. Lan still had a few consciousnesses, and they should be almost done after they merged.
But the really important part is what he does next.
He wants to find the consciousness of the world of ghost stories.
Fei Yu opened the door with the key, and he once again stepped into the space where only pure white remained. However, Yan was not there this time. At the end, he saw the eyeball with blood flowing in it, which was turning restlessly and angrily.
"You can't trap me here! You're clearly not allowed to interfere in these matters!" Feiyu could hear the harsh, shrill tone even before she got close. It sounded like Yan was doing this. "This won't do you any good!"
It cursed a lot and only shut up when the sound of approaching footsteps could be clearly heard in the room. Fei Yu was actually quite curious about how this guy's simulated image had eyes and how his vocal organs were constructed.
The consciousness, as quiet as a chicken, didn't dare to say a word. Even when Fei Yu walked up to it, its eyes embedded in the wall just looked around stupidly, but it didn't dare to look at him.
"Are you afraid?" Feiyu mocked slowly, a rare hint of contempt on her lips. "I thought you didn't experience fear."
"...You can't replace me. This method is stupid, and you will be subject to many restrictions that are different from before." The consciousness pretended to be calm, trying to make Fei Yu change her mind.
But Fei Yu was of course aware of those restrictions. He just chuckled and said, "There's nothing wrong with coming back occasionally. I don't hate this place as much as you think. I just don't want those strange stories to appear in reality."
"Originally, I really couldn't replace you. After all, you exist as a reflection of the world's consciousness. But after being influenced by the players, you developed emotions, which gave me an opportunity." Fei Yu was silent for a moment after saying this.
Then he added, somewhat significantly: "And most of them are negative emotions."
It is also very easy for Fei Yu to replace it. Besides, he himself is not an ordinary ghost story, and the world will not reject him from becoming the new incarnation of consciousness.
"You can rest assured. I will do better than you and make some minor changes without shaking the essential rules." Fei Yu deliberately emphasized the second half of the sentence, his smile revealing a teasing malice and interest.
Fei Yu raised his hand, and his broad palm completely covered the rotating eyeball, and his skin was stained with sticky blood. He felt the unwilling struggle of the consciousness, but just lowered his eyes indifferently.
He looked at the palm of his hand. The scarlet eyeball was embedded in the skin of that area. Bright red liquid flowed down in the shape of his hand and dripped onto the white floor, resembling a pattern carefully painted by a painter with crimson dye.
Fei Yu controlled the eyeball in the palm of his hand. He tried to penetrate, to get deeper through the simulated image on the surface, to control its essence, and to replace the position with the real meaning behind it.
If he really wanted to replace the consciousness, Fei Yu would need to infiltrate the entire world of ghost stories, which would take too much time, so he gave up this method and chose to merge and integrate the consciousness into his own body.
Until they can no longer be separated and completely converge together, but what he wants is not balance. He will erase its independent consciousness after merging with the consciousness body.
Fei Yu stared at the palm of her hand. Her eyeball gradually closed into a dark line, which strangely overlapped with the lines on her palm, like a scar left by an accident, not very obvious.
It didn't look that eye-catching, and Fei Yu felt it was acceptable. He stroked the long and thin scratch, and he could feel that his connection with the world had become stronger.
It's amazing.
The recreated scene that Novi had built previously reminded him of a small part of his past memories, and during this period of time, Fei Yu had almost remembered everything. Although those strange stories had surrounded him and been suppressed by him in the past, they were never as close as they are now.
Fei Yu can sense every strange story, no matter what kind it is. As long as it exists in this world, he can control or even change its rules.
The will of the world itself can easily rewrite all of this.
Feiyu turned around and looked at Yan, who had stood behind him for some unknown reason. Finally, he couldn't help but speak: "Why are you helping me? Even if it doesn't mean anything to you, the best outcome is not to interfere."
"I just changed my mind." Yan's reply was still flat. She looked away, "It's just because I still hate that guy. After all, I couldn't find an opportunity before, so the position of the consciousness cannot be vacant."
"It was good timing, so I helped you, and thankfully you didn't let me down."
Yan was about to leave after she finished speaking. Before leaving the pure white space, she suddenly heard Feiyu ask, "Do you still want to return to your original appearance?"
She stopped and turned around to meet Feiyu's gaze. Yan seemed to smile, but only superficially. "If that happened, I would die immediately. The original me should have disappeared in that accident long ago, so don't think about it anymore."
"This is the best outcome right now, at least for me."
Fei Yu didn't say anything more, and he left here not long after Yan disappeared.
He stood on an open space covered with weeds. The surrounding scene was still the familiar desolate one, with only weeds growing randomly and reddish-brown soil occupying the entire field of vision. The horizon divided the gloomy sky.
Fei Yu did not return to reality. He was still in the endless world of ghost stories, where there was no distinction between day and night, and there would be no natural phenomena such as rainstorms.
[Will repairing the barrier have significant side effects?] The system also knew what he was going to do next. It didn't understand this, so it was naturally a little worried. [But... is the barrier in this place?]
"I guess so." Fei Yu stretched out her hand, and her fingertips seemed to touch something. Water-like lines spread in the air, extending in all directions, outlining the invisible boundary that separated the two worlds.
Feiyu smiled and said, "The barrier doesn't have a specific fixed location, but it's also easy to find. It's everywhere."
[Everywhere...?]
"This world is full of strange stories, and humans are not allowed to exist. It's a completely different second world. As early as when I entered the strange story game, I wondered how we ended up in those strange story areas?"
He had been confused for a while. The answer was certainly important, but at that time he didn't understand why it happened in this way, nor did he know the series of changes that were about to happen in the future: "In another world that we can't reach?"
"It only takes one second for players to enter the dungeon. Is it the main system that does this? Or... we are originally on the opposite side of that world, but we can't normally see everything there?" Fei Yu even asked questions in a statement.
He added the rest: "The two worlds are like two sides of the same coin. This makes more sense, doesn't it? And it also satisfies the requirement that the barrier must exist."
"You're saying that the other world and reality are actually in the same space?" The system thought about it carefully and felt that it made sense. "They were just separated by a barrier, until it shattered, and those strange stories came into reality."
[…It's probably more than just your guess, right? You're so sure, so you've probably already verified it.]
“That’s absolutely right.”
The transparent barrier gradually turned into a striking white under his hands, and the cracks became particularly clear, like the countless cracks on the surface of a broken mirror. It was shaky, as if it was about to collapse into glass fragments and fall down.
The broken and long lines gradually disappeared from his sight under the control of the jade. The sharp cracks were quickly repaired and turned into a substantial barrier, forming a solid wall blocking his sight. The surrounding scene seemed to be constantly changing.
Modern buildings replaced the desolation all around, with blurred outlines, like the illusion of a mirage, vaguely intertwined with the original scene of this world.
The damaged marks on the barrier were quickly repaired and it was as good as new. The barrier became transparent again and disappeared into the desolate background.
Fei Yu stretched out his hand, and the touch of sea water covered his wrist, and the coldness lingered on his fingertips. He took a step forward, and the long wind from reality was like a stream of water brushing across his face. The familiar building of the Surveillance Bureau came into view in the next second.
He stood at the door of the building. Passersby seemed to have forgotten the sudden abnormality of the building and just passed by in a hurry, as if they didn't see anything.
"The barrier has been restored." Novi appeared beside Feiyu the moment he returned. He would naturally sense the changes in the other world and also know who was responsible. "Do you want to send the Surveillance Bureau back?"
Feiyu nodded: "And now."
Lan was originally at the Operations Department headquarters, responsible for control due to Fei Yu's arrangements. After noticing the changes, he returned to the building.
"You're back." Although Feiyu said this, his tone was still calm and indifferent. He smiled and said, "You can prepare to go back."
