Suddenly, that clear male voice materialized in the crimson hall, and a tall, slender man appeared out of thin air below the electronic screen.
He was dressed in a crisp black uniform, his face was so handsome it was almost sharp, but his gray-blue eyes were lifeless, like a corporate slave who had been tortured by the 996 work schedule for ten years, exuding a decadent aura of "not wanting to go to work".
"Hello everyone, I am your game guide, Xifeng." He spoke without even bothering to twitch his lips, exuding a faint aura of death. "This game contains three dungeons of increasing difficulty, each guarded by a powerful boss. Only by clearing all dungeons can players obtain the final qualification for rebirth."
Xifeng mechanically read out the rules, his gray-blue eyes sweeping across the crowd: "If there are no problems, the game will begin in 5 seconds."
Li Yuheng immediately raised his hand, still holding the little boy who was pretending to be well-behaved in his arms: "I want to ask, what happens if we kill the dungeon boss?"
The entire hall fell silent instantly, and in a corner, a person who was about to raise their hand quietly lowered their arm.
0090: […Your Highness, it seems you've stolen the spotlight from the main character.]
"What do you mean by stealing the protagonist's spotlight?" Li Yuheng retorted in his mind. "Little system, listen to me carefully. In this world, besides my wife, there are only two kinds of people: me and those who are inferior to me."
He paused, then added smugly, "Besides, I'm the male lead. What the male lead does is perfectly justified. How can that be called 'stealing'?"
0090: [...]
It was speechless, choked by this shameless statement.
"Where's the original plot? Send it over quickly. It's only the second world and you're already dragging your feet. Little system, I think you're not up to par. Be careful, or I'll get rid of you right away."
0090's voice was noticeably weak: "…Wait a moment, Your Highness. Because you forcibly entered this world with Shu Bai, you're currently unregistered. I need to resolve your identity issue first…"
While stalling for time, it rapidly scanned the original plot, becoming increasingly alarmed with each reading.
If the plot were passed on to Li Yuheng now, given his temper, he'd probably kill the main character immediately.
So, in a fraction of a second, 0090 made a decision—to stall for as long as possible!
Li Yuheng sighed helplessly, "...Fine, hurry up and get to work."
Xi Feng's gaze fell on Li Yuheng, who was holding the little boy, and he suddenly froze.
His gray-blue pupils contracted slightly as he stared at Li Yuheng for a few seconds, his lips twitching almost imperceptibly.
“An interesting question.” The west wind slowly descended to the ground. “You can guess for yourself.”
No sooner had Xifeng finished speaking than a middle-aged man with a face full of scars suddenly rushed out, hysterically shouting, "Who wants to play this damn game! Let me out!"
He lunged at Xifeng, grabbing Xifeng's neck tightly with both hands: "I'll kill you first, you madman!"
The west wind's gray-blue eyes didn't even blink.
"Bang!"
With a muffled thud, the middle-aged man's body suddenly split open from the middle, as if cleaved in two by an invisible blade.
Blood and entrails splattered onto the ground with a "whoosh," covering those around them.
"Ahhhhhh!!!" Screams echoed throughout the room.
Xifeng slowly straightened his wrinkled uniform collar, staring expressionlessly at the two still twitching halves of the corpse on the ground: "Who else doesn't want to play?"
The crowd fell silent instantly.
Xifeng raised his hand listlessly: "Okay, let's get started."
The next second, the entire crimson hall suddenly twisted and deformed, and the ground began to sink like melted wax.
The players screamed in terror as they fell into the suddenly appearing black vortex.
…
This is a world trapped in a death loop.
All the passengers on the plane were actually already dead, but they were trapped in a cruel cycle called "Rebirth Game".
Whenever a player dies in the game, their memory is erased, and they are returned to the moment the plane crashed.
Only the ultimate winner can be reborn.
In the original storyline, the protagonist, Li Qiyang, gradually awakens and regains his memories through countless loops due to his protagonist halo.
With his extensive experience, he easily passed the first two dungeons.
However, in the final instance, he was unexpectedly chosen to become the groom of the instance boss "Shu Bai". What's more troublesome is that this wedding may not just be part of the game's storyline, but he needs to take the wedding seriously.
Since the bosses in the first two dungeons both wore masks, revealing a hideous face covered in scars, Li Qiyang assumed that Shu Bai must also be an ugly and terrifying man.
In addition, he had no interest in men, so he did not hesitate to refuse the marriage and run away.
Since he could restart even if he died, he preferred to wait for another chance.
However, this unusual behavior aroused Shu Bai's keen interest.
After a long and drawn-out struggle, Li Qiyang finally seized the opportunity to kill Shu Bai, successfully breaking the endless cycle.
However, once he was truly freed, he was plunged into deep pain and regret, realizing that he had already developed an inseparable affection for Shu Bai.
Ultimately, he could only spend the rest of his life in regret for losing his beloved, resulting in a heartbreaking tragic ending.
...
In the black vortex, Li Yuheng was so angry after watching the plot that he almost ground his teeth to powder.
No wonder...
When this damn system first transported him to this world, it delayed showing him the plot until the first instance was opened, and then it finally revealed the original story to him.
It turns out that in the original storyline, the protagonist, Li Qiyang, would have a "torturous love affair" with his wife!
Li Yuheng was so angry he gritted his teeth, mentally questioning 0090: "Little system, are you doing this on purpose? If you had shown me the plot earlier, I would have just killed that Li Qiyang on the plane—"
"[Young Master, calm down!]" 0090 quickly interrupted him, "[You're currently an unregistered resident. If you rashly kill the protagonist, the world will collapse!]"
"It is its honor to collapse after I have collapsed."
0090: [...]
Tying itself to this prince was probably the biggest mistake it ever made.
Just then, Li Yuheng felt the little boy in his arms gently turn his chin.
He looked down and saw the little boy looking up, his dark eyes gleaming with an eerie light: "What are you thinking about?"
Li Yuheng raised an eyebrow and teased, "I'm thinking... about how to raise you."
He squinted and carefully examined the little boy in his arms.
After verification by the ghostly aura, it was indeed Shu Bai without a doubt. However, the original story never mentioned that Shu Bai would appear as a player, let alone in the form of a seven or eight-year-old boy.
However, he had seen Shu Bai briefly transform once on the plane earlier...
But Shu Bai is clearly the boss of the third dungeon, so how come he's here as a player?
…That's actually quite interesting.
