Chapter 845 Chapter 7: Data Deletion
Full of doubts, Li Muhan followed the woman into her car, and then the car drove to an old apartment on the outskirts of the city.
When Li Muhan saw the apartment, he was stunned.
"Look familiar? Li Muhan."
The woman closed the car door and said to Li Muhan with a smile.
"This is the apartment you lived in at the beginning of the story."
"..." Li Muhan frowned and said nothing, so the woman led her into the apartment and up the stairs, to the same floor and the same room where he used to live...
“Come, knock, and meet your Maker.”
The woman slowly stepped aside, leaving Li Muhan to witness it all on his own.
Looking at this old iron door, countless memories came to mind.
It was here that he was dumped by his ex-girlfriend.
It was here that he and Xia Yue confirmed their relationship.
It all starts here.
Wait... where did this all start? Why did I have such thoughts?
My life didn't start from here.
But why do I feel now that everything I have comes from here, this shabby little apartment.
Boom boom boom.
Li Muhan raised his hand and knocked on the door.
There was a rustling sound in the room, and then he heard a low and lazy male voice.
"Who is it?"
"......." Li Muhan didn't know what to say, so the woman spoke for him.
"Bai Ling."
When the people in the house heard Bai Ling's name, they were obviously panicked. Then they heard a burst of hurried footsteps approaching, and then the door was opened.
What came into Li Muhan's sight was a man with messy hair, thin figure and wearing glasses.
He looked to be about thirty years old, obviously malnourished, with stubble on his face, and generally looked unkempt.
"...Teacher Huang Quan, long time no see."
Bai Ling said to the man with a smile.
"Is...something wrong?" The man inside the door looked at the two of them warily.
"You should know why I'm here. I told you last time, teacher, that the book about vampires is no longer valuable. Three months ago, I asked you to finish it quickly, but what about you?"
The woman leaned against the door frame, looking down at the man.
"You're actually playing such a trick on me...pretending to be finished and then continuing with the side story?"
"I...I don't have anything to say."
Seeing that the man was about to close the door, the woman grabbed the edge of the door with her hand.
"Teacher, you really don't seem to understand the current situation." She pulled the door open forcefully and walked straight into the room.
Li Muhan also walked in. When passing by the man, he glanced at him and couldn't help but think in his heart:... Is this really the person who created me?
The room was small but clean, exactly the same as the small room Li Muhan remembered.
Although the man didn't seem to welcome Bai Ling, he still poured tea for her and Li Muhan.
"Teacher, I have already given you a chance." The woman smiled, took a sip of tea, and then said.
"Since you don't want to destroy this book yourself, I'll do it."
"No." The man said, shaking his head.
"The story is not over yet, there is still a lot..."
"Who cares?" The woman sneered.
"Oh, by the way, let me introduce you to this..." Bai Ling looked at Li Muhan with a smile, and then said to the man, "This is the protagonist of your novel."
"Li Muhan..."
The man and Li Muhan looked at each other.
Then the next second, the two nodded slightly.
".....Hello."
"Ah, um... hello."
"You... well, you're quite handsome."
"Ah? Ha, hahaha....it should be good if you clean it up."
"Have you got a meal yet?"
"Ah, well, not yet. But I'm not hungry yet, hahaha."
"Hahaha."
This scene stunned the woman for a moment, and then she suddenly laughed out loud. "Puchi, are you two sick? Or do you both refuse to believe in your hearts that you are actually the creator and the creation?"
The woman stood up and walked directly into the man's bedroom with a cup of tea.
"Wait, wait! What are you going to do?!"
"Let me see your latest chapter."
The woman sat in front of the computer and opened the man's document.
Li Muhan also came over, and then he saw something that was unbelievable no matter how hard he tried.
That is, everything he had experienced was really all in his folder directory, and was divided into major chapters.
Character design, plot, outline, and...the scheduling of subsequent side quests.
"No, no, absolutely not." The woman shook her head. "This book really has no value anymore, Mr. Huang Quan. Since you can't bear to kill your own child, why not..."
The woman slowly took out her cell phone.
"You, what are you going to do?"
The man became a little nervous.
"How about...I'll help you."
A terrifying smile appeared on the woman's face, and then her fingers pressed a few times on the phone.
At this moment, Li Muhan felt that something seemed to have changed in his body.
He looked down and discovered that there was a bloody hole in his chest.
A suffocating pain came from his body.
“Ah…Ah!”
Then, Li Muhan spat out a mouthful of blood.
"What did you do?! What happened to him!?"
The man was frightened and shocked.
He wanted to support Li Muhan, but his body was unable to move because of fear.
The woman chuckled.
"I just want him to make you all understand that the one who truly dominates your world is not this loser, but me."
"I just added a sentence at the end of the latest chapter."
[Li Muhan was stabbed in the stomach by a few thugs]
"No, it's impossible!" the man shouted anxiously, "Li Muhan, how could he be taken advantage of by these thugs... This, this doesn't fit the setting!"
The woman scoffed. "Yes, but..."
"Who cares?"
Li Muhan was half-kneeling on the ground, breathing heavily. He tried his best to stay calm, but he discovered something very scary.
Not only was his body losing life, it was also turning into a pile of data, starting from his hands and being decomposed bit by bit.
"Didn't you say... that there are no superpowers in this world?"
He stared at the woman intently.
"Ah, I did say that, but you're not from this world, and deep down you're still resisting accepting this reality, so you can only be a character in a book."
"To the people of our world, the characters in the book...are just a string of data that can be modified or deleted at will."
She opened her mouth and smiled foolishly at Li Muhan.
"Hey!!" Li Muhan turned his head and glared at the man.
"Is this the ending you wanted for the story?"
His body was still dissipating, and it had gradually spread to his chest.
"No... This is not... But I have no choice. I need to review the chapters I want to revise... She can revise them at any time..."
"I'm telling you, even now, I still won't admit, absolutely won't admit, that my world is just a world you created. But if you can truly tolerate... your own work being... so... arbitrarily... ruined, don't you think those people you created are pitiful?!"
Data continued to flow, and finally only half of Li Muhan's face was left. He stared at the man intently and said with his last bit of strength, "I will not admit, I absolutely will not admit, that everything I have experienced, everything I have loved... was just you..."
"Pah."
The woman smiled and clapped her hands.
"Alright~ The protagonist's data has been completely deleted~ Li Muhan is confirmed dead~ So this novel can..."
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the man's computer.
"Teacher Huang Quan, bring your computer up to me now."
The woman and the man were stunned when they heard the voice.
The woman quickly figured it out.
This was the voice of the boy he had brought in before, a minor supporting character named Lin Ziyu.
"Do you want to be deleted too?"
The woman smiled at the voice on the computer.
"You can't delete me." Lin Ziyu said blankly, "Because I have concerns, thoughts, and family in this world, so I belong to this world. If you were the god who controlled the world I once existed in."
"So now..."
The woman frowned slightly, and then suddenly found that the mobile phone in her hand was unusable. She didn't know when it was injected with some virus and was completely paralyzed.
"......interesting."
"Do you understand?" Lin Ziyu continued, "In this world, as a senior programmer, I have more power than you."
"If you are a god, then I am capable of killing him."
At this moment, the man suddenly rushed over, picked up his laptop and ran out the door.
The woman threw the paralyzed cell phone to the ground.
"A minor supporting character has now become the savior of the savior world." She shrugged.
"But unfortunately, you don't seem to understand that this world..."
"There is something called reality, which is more cruel than the stories you live in."
