Chapter 849 Chapter 11: Then take me across this sea
"Yeah..." The man hugged the notebook tightly and stood up. This time, he looked down at the woman.
Although the fear on his face had not completely disappeared, an unprecedented excitement made him still try to say the next words.
"I've discovered... the world we live in now is a fake world... It's a playground you created to fool others..."
"Hmm...should I give you a reward? Although your guess is good, I won't admit it~"
"Of course you won't admit it!"
The man roared, "Once you admit it, this world will completely collapse!"
"Yes, so I don't admit it, which is also a good thing for you. Okay, now hurry up and put an end to that world. Then, no matter how fake this world is, I can make it real."
"Creating a world is easy for me, really, believe me~"
The man stepped back step by step.
His attitude was clear, but it also made the woman sigh: "Why would even a piece of trash like you resist me? I just want to have more fun. Who the hell are you? Why do you have to stop me?"
"According to my script, you should have died a long time ago... Why is that..."
The woman sighed and stood up. "Then you can expect to go to jail. I'm sure the police will be here soon."
She didn't seem to intend to deal with the man herself, which made the man a little confused.
Why, if she is really so powerful, why doesn't she do it herself? The previous hacker attacks were the same. Although they sounded outrageous, they were all methods used in this world.
Did she really need to beat around the bush like that?
Soon, footsteps were heard from the corridor entrance.
The woman smiled. "Normally, at times like this, I'd tell you I'm giving you one last chance. But unfortunately, I'm not going to stick to the script, just as you like to step outside the box I've set for you."
Bai Ling made a cute little circle with her fingers.
The man also realized that he had no escape now.
The police came back soon to take me away, and after that...
"Don't worry."
At this moment, a voice came from the door. The voice was pale and weak, as if it had just experienced great pain.
"The police can't get up here right now. I've closed all the fire escapes below the 30th floor and stopped the elevators. It might take them another half an hour or so to get up here."
Lin Ziyu walked out of the corridor and came to the rooftop.
His eyes were empty and lifeless, and he turned slightly to look at Bai Ling.
Bai Ling stood there with an elegant posture and a smile on her face, as if everything was under her control.
Lin Ziyu's voice was a little hoarse as he asked the question in his heart: "Actually, I've never figured it out before. Why don't you just use your power? Whether it's to make him finish this novel or to eliminate the people who are in the way, it's very simple, right?"
"But now... I kind of understand."
Lin Ziyu slowly raised his hand, and he seemed to be able to still feel the residual warmth that had remained on that hand not long ago.
That was all he had briefly in the past few years, but now it has become so distant and unreal.
"This world is unreal... all of it... business..."
[Lin Ziyu! You're a fucking genius! You can even handle this kind of code! From today on! You're the head of the programming department! Everyone applaud!]
That was his career success, the praise and recognition from his colleagues, the glory and pride at that moment, but now thinking about it, it seems like a dream.
"friend......"
[Zi Yu, we're all brothers. Tell us if you have anything to say. You're getting married soon, so if you're too busy to handle anything, just give it to us. Hey!? What are you laughing at? Are you looking down on our skills?!]
The deep friendship he had with his friends, the days and nights they spent together, the laughter and joy, have now become blurred.
"Still my love..."
I do...
That was the oath between him and his lover, the affectionate promise, and the vision for the future, but now it is like smoke blown away by the wind, impossible to grasp.
"Everything is unreal."
Lin Ziyu's voice was low, filled with a deep sense of powerlessness. He felt as if everything had been stripped away from him, leaving only an empty shell.
The woman folded her arms and looked at Lin Ziyu with a smile: "If that's the case, then why are you crying over such an illusory feeling?"
Her words were like a sharp knife, piercing Lin Ziyu's heart.
Lin Ziyu was silent.
Yes, why is he crying?
Was it because those feelings had once been so real and had touched his heart so deeply, or was it because without them, he felt a deep emptiness and loneliness?
“Neither, it’s because…”
The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his messy hair covered his eyes a little.
"Because I am about to destroy this world with my own hands, and destroy everything I have here."
"Puchi." The woman laughed. "Can you do it? You're just a small character I picked up to attract Li Muhan."
"And now that Li Muhan is gone, you want to rely on yourself? Fight me? Even Li Muhan has no power to fight back in front of me. Boy... are you a little too conceited?"
Lin Ziyu slowly took out a cell phone from his trouser pocket.
"Of course I know that I'm just a supporting role that can't be any smaller. In our world, what I can do is very limited. Even a Chaos-level alien might be able to kill me. After all, I don't have the power of a realm."
He smiled and started operating his phone.
"But it's different here. Here, the rules are the real world, and you absolutely shouldn't drag a top hacker into this world."
The woman was stunned, she seemed to have noticed something.
"What... do you want to do?"
"In order to verify the rules of this world, I asked this teacher to write some plots about what would happen after I realized that this world was fake."
Lin Ziyu glanced at the man who was huddled in the corner, holding the computer tightly.
“…” The woman’s expression became increasingly cold.
"After I realize that this world isn't real, there are only two outcomes. One, I disappear because I was wrong. I'm just a fictional character, and after recognizing myself, I'll be immediately erased. Two, everyone in this world who's close to me will disappear because I'm the real one."
The man was stunned. He looked at Lin Ziyu in disbelief. "You asked me to write those plots just for this matter... Aren't you worried at all that you'll be erased from the world?!"
"I'm worried. To be honest, I'm really afraid of death, but I prefer to believe in everything I've experienced, from the first day Captain Huo Tian plucked me out of the police station and joined the Special Management Bureau, to the first time I followed him on a mission, to when he abandoned us to die alone, and then to when Li Muhan risked everything to save the world."
He turned his head, looked at the man and smiled: "These are not the plots you arranged for us, Mr. Huang Quan, but the plots we let you see, so you don't have to blame yourself or feel pressured. You have not arranged the lives of any of us, and now."
When Lin Ziyu looked at the woman again, his thumb was about to press the send button on the phone.
"This mediocre supporting role will be the key to your failure!"
Snap——
Lin Ziyu pressed the button on his phone, and melodious music rang out from the phone.
"What did you do?"
The woman said in a deep voice.
"I let this story resound throughout the world."
Lin Ziyu smiled brightly: "Even if it's just in this fake world!" Then he suddenly opened his arms.
At this moment, the blackout neighborhood shines brightly again. In this silent night, all the monitors and screens light up at the same time, and what is being played is actually the PV of a novel that was completed at an unknown time.
"Hahahaha, I've been slacking off a lot in the past three years at the company! This workload is way too easy for me! So easy that I even have time to make a video about our world's story!"
The sound of music started from the building and continued to spread to every possible avenue.
The dazzling lights in the darkness shine brightly in this virtual world.
When the whole city and the whole world were playing this animated video produced by Lin Ziyu.
There was a crack in the sky above my head.
"......It's started." Lin Ziyu smiled bitterly.
"What's going on..."
The man looked at the crack in the sky and the earth that was gradually shaking in confusion.
The woman also frowned. "Why would this world reject you? Even if you let the whole world know about this novel, even if you made a video and used some means to spread it widely, these are not considered abnormal. These are all things that people in this world should have..."
The woman couldn't continue speaking here.
Her pupils reflected the images playing on the huge advertising screen not far from the building.
I see.......
"Because you are not from this world, you have acted like this, and the rules can no longer tolerate you..."
Faster, faster! It breaks faster!
Lin Ziyu shouted in his heart.
It’s not enough!!
But the next second, a hand had already grabbed his neck.
The woman's angry expression appeared before his eyes.
"You're the only small loophole in my plan, human. You know what? This is the first time I've personally created a law, the law of 'reality'. I've set the stage, and I want to see a performance, a performance that belongs to Li Muhan, not a clown like you!"
"You ruined everything I carefully planned! Now tell me! Where did you hide Li Muhan?!"
"Hehe...I just want it. Look at your expression! You look like you're so angry but can't do anything to me!!"
Lin Ziyu was grabbed by the neck by the woman and lifted up.
The man wanted to rush over to stop her, but was knocked away by the force of the woman's slightly raised hand.
"You really ruined my fun, little brat." The woman no longer had any expression. Her human skin gradually began to fall off, her pupils slowly turned pitch black, and her body gradually began to distort into a blurry shadow.
"I admit, little brat, bringing you here was my biggest mistake, so now I will erase your existence. No matter which world you are in, from now on, you will..."
"You finally... broke your own rules..."
Lin Ziyu suddenly raised his hand and grabbed its wrist.
"I'm just... waiting for you to unleash your power... Even if you're the creator of this world, the architect of the laws of reality, and the laws can't punish you, now! The laws will collapse because of you! From now on! There will be no more reality in this world! All anomalies will be accepted!!"
Lin Ziyu was lifted into the air, struggling to hold up his cell phone.
"I fucking know what kind of person I am! I fucking know that I can't be the savior! But now! I can be the thorn in your throat! I'm already very satisfied! Fuck you!!"
Then he pressed a button.
"Li Muhan!! Go ahead!!!"
The sky above suddenly began to disintegrate, and along with the disintegrating sky came a giant black and white dragon.
On top of the giant dragon, a young man with long flowing hair held a spear, as if he had been waiting for a long time.
"Realm, holding a candle to illuminate the world!!"
The dragon's rage and the spear in the boy's hand swooped down at the same time, completely submerging the building, the land, and the world in chaos.
Lin Ziyu's body continued to fall down, and he saw the world collapsing bit by bit. The man held the notebook as if it was something more important than his life.
At least Lin Ziyu knew that he would never give up his work easily again.
At the same time, Li Muhan and the illusory figure also fell below.
Li Muhan's spear had pierced its body, but the figure seemed to feel no pain.
[As much as I hate to admit it...]
The voice suddenly came into Lin Ziyu's mind.
[Lin Ziyu, you are amazing. I had a lot of fun playing. I will bring you with me to the next game.]
"Want to run?! Hmph!"
Li Muhan realized something and quickly mobilized his strength, but it was too late. The figure disappeared without a trace in an instant. We did destroy its world, but we could do nothing to a high-dimensional creature like it.
A butterfly cannot fly across the ocean, who can bear to blame it?
He looked at Li Muhan who was falling with him below and suddenly laughed.
But if it could dock on the side of the ship, perhaps this butterfly could really cross the ocean?
