Chapter 109 I Love You
Thunder and lightning occasionally appeared under the dark sky over Hope Island.
Luo Ning looked at all this in disbelief. To them, the extinct monsters, it was almost a dream, just like a performance. This was a nightmare dungeon world.
The ghosts here are all man-eating monsters, and the players here are also monsters who will do anything to survive. It's either you die or I live. Even your teammates who stand shoulder to shoulder may abandon you at the critical moment of life and death. This has been the law of survival in the nightmare world for thousands of years. If you don't eat people, others will eat you.
But now.
Even though they could clearly leave, this group of people were still hesitating, one or two of them were still doing stupid things!
Luo Ning couldn't help but curse, and laughed as he cursed: "Mad men, you are just a bunch of mad men. Even if you go there now, it will be useless. You must go to the root of the sacred tree, and you will be too late!"
His laughter didn't last long.
There was another loud noise coming from an island not far away.
Jian Yue, who was sitting inside the light shield, was already feeling drowsy. The system voice was still ringing in his ears tirelessly, but he no longer had the energy to listen.
Until there was suddenly a bright light not far away, which stung his eyes.
Jian Yue suddenly opened his eyes and saw that the fragments of time and space that were originally torn apart by the crystal core were crushed by someone with great force. The light shield of the sacred tree was shattered, and someone walked out slowly from it. There were mottled bloodstains on his uniform. The waves and storms blew past the corners of his clothes. His cold eyebrows were particularly clear in the light.
The system panel was still counting down beside Jian Yue's ear: "The current health value has dropped to 5%, 4%, 3%..."
As he counted, he seemed to be a little anxious, with some excitement and warnings. Jian Yue remained indifferent and just sat there looking at the man who suddenly appeared in front of him. When Jian Yue's strength was almost exhausted, Leng Li reached out and grabbed him.
Jian Yue heard that his system panel suddenly froze.
Boundless warmth was transmitted through the two people's clasped hands.
Jian Yue's voice was hoarse. He had no strength to speak. Leng Li held his hand, which gave him some strength to make him look up at him. He asked in surprise, "Young Master?"
For a moment he wondered if he was dreaming.
Or was it just an illusion that appeared before he died, but the facts told him that it was not the case.
Because Leng Li held him in his arms, the wind was very strong around them. The water shield formed by the sea water caused the entire sky to be filled with moisture, and even low thunder could be heard in the distance.
One sound after another.
In fact, there was not much good flesh left on Jian Yue's body. His limbs were empty. Leng Li gently held him in his arms. The hands of this usually calm man seemed to be shaking all over.
Leng Li said: "Don't be afraid."
"Young Master, why are you back?" Jian Yue's voice was very soft. Because Leng Li had returned, the entire light shield no longer absorbed energy from Jian Yue in a single direction, which gave him a little breathing room.
But he was not very happy, because he knew what Leng Li's return meant.
"You shouldn't be here." Jian Yue said, "You should be in a safe place. Doesn't the crystal core only have the energy to transmit once?"
Leng Li said: "You forgot that the sacred tree is my origin. As long as I want to come back, I can resonate with the sacred tree. In the end, it is still my life body. There is such a big sacred tree here, and almost all of its energy can be used by me, so as long as I want to come back, I can come back."
Jian Yue didn't expect there was this. He looked at Leng Li, his eyes slightly red, as if there was a sigh dissipating in the wind, someone sighed softly and said, "Are you stupid?"
Leng Li's voice was very low, as if it wanted to blend into the gloomy sky and the despair of destruction, but it was very clear in Jian Yue's ears. He said, "You forgot, I promised you."
I will come back.
I will come back to you when things are over. I will definitely accompany you and find you.
Even if what awaits us is an endless abyss.
The two were so close that they seemed to be able to hear each other's heartbeats and were completely integrated with each other.
Jian Yue paused. In fact, he still had a lot to say in his heart, but after looking into Leng Li's eyes, he seemed to have nothing to say. His eyelashes trembled slightly, and he smiled gently and said, "Okay."
After he realized what Leng Li wanted to do.
Jian Yue gently raised her hand, held his hand and said, "Either, let's go together, or don't send me away alone."
Leng Li's hand paused. For a moment, he did want to send Jian Yue back to the boat. The self-destruction program of the sacred tree had not yet been activated. He could still control the power of the sacred tree. As long as he handled it well, everything was still in time.
But when he met Jian Yue's eyes.
The pair of red eyes looked at him frankly, and his shadow was clearly reflected in them.
Jian Yue said: "Don't leave me alone anymore."
Hot tears fell on the back of Leng Li's hand.
"I can't stand it." He said, "Don't be so cruel to me, Xiaoyu."
Leng Li had seen Jian Yue in many ways, when he smiled and acted coquettishly with him, when he acted like a spoiled child, when he was afraid and hid beside him, when he was so tired that he always wanted to be clever and lazy, but she had never seen him like this. She just looked at him quietly, with so many emotions in her eyes, but not fear.
Inexplicable.
Under the influence of the light column, Leng Li's mind seemed to have many other images. It was a beautiful island with a tall and majestic sacred tree overlooking the whole world. It stood quietly there, watching the joys and sorrows of the world. Countless kind and sincere people knelt on the island, begging for the arrival of a miracle and for the hope of survival. They devoutly wanted to survive and hoped that their companions and families could get hope of survival, even if it was only a little bit.
They are united as one, and even though the island and the planet may be destroyed soon, they still pray with sincere hearts.
then.
In the void, all the pious thoughts gathered into a powerful force. The sacred tree appeared and the miracle came. It quietly gazed at the millions of changes of this planet, watching it become prosperous and flourishing.
The people living on this planet also slowly changed. They were no longer satisfied with a healthy and peaceful life. They learned to invade and plunder. They forgot the sufferings they had once endured. The spears that once stabbed them were finally held in their hands and swung out again.
Selfish, glorious, cruel.
It watched all this silently, feeling it was so strange and boring.
It is a god born of hope, but there is no hope on this planet anymore. It is time to leave. It understands this, but after witnessing countless changes over millions of years, it still feels unwilling.
So it took the initiative to communicate with a human who could see souls. It came to the world, walked around, and was always looking for something, until finally, it finally met someone who was willing to stop for it.
Someone he loves and who loves him too.
That's enough.
He no longer has any resentment or regrets.
Leng Li chuckled softly. The two of them were surrounded by thick blood mist, but his rough fingertips brushed across Jian Yue's pretty face. The light in his eyes was gentle as he said slowly, "We will never be separated again."
Countless rays of light turned into blood mist and emanated from the two people. The people within the circle of light turned into pieces of white bones.
The lights around Hope Island were bright, and the countdown to the self-destruction program was moving forward bit by bit. The machine clock was recording the countdown: "The energy progress of the sacred tree to activate the self-destruction program is 95%, 96%, 97%, 99%, 100%..."
The two people in the light embraced each other and were gradually swallowed by the light.
The audience in Jian Yue's live broadcast room screamed crazily:
“Oh my god!”
"This is really the end of the game!"
“Isn’t this anchor so crazy?”
"He's always like this!"
"It's not true that the self-destruct sequence has really been activated?!!"
"You are serious!!"
"Have I witnessed history?"
The entire Hope Island erupted with astonishing explosions, countless waves came with the storm, the whole sky was filled with lightning and thunder, and heavy rain poured down.
In such a huge energy that can almost drown people.
The Hope Boat that was supposed to leave the island stopped steadily on the shore. A light came on from the dim coastline, not just one beam of light, spreading down little by little, and then countless lights came on. Those lights spread from all directions, countless talents and abilities poured into the light shield of the sacred tree, and countless students gathered.
They are using their innate abilities to gather power for the sacred tree.
Once it is excluded and swept away, other students will take its place. The sacred tree with its self-destruction program activated will emit all its energy to the world until it is completely dissipated. But now, countless children, this Island of Hope, has gathered all the top talents on the entire planet. They have come here one after another and are using all their energy to prolong the life of the sacred tree.
So that the people on the sacred tree can survive.
Little by little, bright lights of different colors, red, green, yellow, blue, these lights seemed like huge flames, lighting up the originally dim island.
It's like a huge chain, starting from a tiny spark, and growing into something huge.
Luo Ning on the boat kept cursing: "Mads, you Jianzhi are a bunch of mads, not only are you crazy, but you also want to drag everyone to be buried with you? Don't dream, the self-destruction program of the sacred tree has been activated, you can't change anything at all!! Now it's good, all of us have to stay here!! Are you satisfied!? "
The energy consumed by the sacred tree is dissipated between heaven and earth.
The two people surrounded by the light were almost invisible.
Someone vomited blood under the sacred tree. The pain of having its energy sucked away was excruciating, as if ten thousand tiny bugs were gnawing at his limbs and blood. It was unbearable for an ordinary person.
"Senior!" Tiantian immediately caught Jiang Yan. She was a little anxious and didn't care about anything else. She directly exchanged a hemostatic item from the mall and stuffed it into her mouth. She asked anxiously, "Are you okay, senior?"
Jiang Yan's complexion recovered a little. She shook her head gently and said, "It's okay. I'm just weak."
They turned their heads and saw that there were many students shrouded in light around the island. This was a voluntary act; those who were willing to come could come, and those who did not want to come could not come.
Tiantian looked at the bright spots that seemed to have no end. She had never seen such a large scene before and murmured, "How spectacular! Why are there so many people here?"
She will never forget this scene in her life.
Students like mountains and seas gathered under the sacred tree. It was painful, too painful. They understood how dangerous it could be, but they still came.
After Jiang Yan wiped the blood from the corner of her lips, she looked at everything in front of her, smiled gently, and said: "Although everyone usually can't see anything, in fact, everyone knows that the existence of this island is wrong, but for thousands of years, everyone has lived like this. What can you do if you think it's wrong?"
Until something changes.
In a game of chess, once a variable appears, all the chess pieces on the board cannot go back to the past.
Starting from Ji Qingya, the changes had already begun, but their deaths seemed to be announcing painful failures, like a joke, knocking on everyone's heart all the time, saying that failure and resistance were of no avail, that this was the law of the world, and that this was the fate of those who tried to go against the law.
It’s not like no one has said it before.
Just hand over the chip like this, it will be a great achievement, and they can graduate early and return to their family.
But every time at this time, those who have passed away, those friends who will never come back, seem to appear back and forth like a constantly torn thread, as if to say, it can't be like this, how can it be like this.
But what else can we do?
The lifeless chess game finally had new changes when Butler Wang and his companions arrived.
"We have actually been thinking about how to play this game in order to survive." Jiang Yan smiled and said, "You made us understand the answer."
Tiantian asked: "What is it?"
Jiang Yan stood up, the wind from the waves blowing across the corners of her clothes. She said, "We couldn't find a way out of this game because the chessboard was rotten from the beginning. So we have to overturn the whole game and start over. The way out is actually on the chessboard, but we just couldn't figure it out before."
She looked at Tiantian, smiled and said, "Everyone has come back now because you did what we have always wanted to do. So many people died in the past because the rules had been hanging over their heads for thousands of years. No one dared to resist, and no one could resist. But now, the rules are gone. If you can't fight, even if you leave the island, the rules will still be there."
Because I have never lived for myself.
Because no matter what happens, I always want to escape and am always controlled by others.
Even if your partner is right in front of you, you are unable to lend a helping hand and can only walk on the path that others say is right.
"Saving you is saving ourselves." Jiang Yan looked back at Tiantian, her smile was particularly clear in the sea breeze.
The moment her words fell.
I hope all the players on the island have received the system notification: "Please note, this is a notice for all players. The sacred tree has been destroyed and the war is over. Congratulations to all the players who are still alive on the island for jointly triggering the main story hidden SS+ level task [Resurrection of the Sacred Tree]"
Everyone was stunned.
The system panel popped up: "
SS+ level hidden mission triggers [Resurrection of the Sacred Tree]
Mission details: Please unite as one to revive the sacred tree. When darkness falls, unity and pure souls will bring new hope and light to the entire planet. Saving others is saving yourself.
Mission reward: SS + special golden item "Sacred Tree Juice"
When this panel was refreshed, all the players were stunned, and the audience in the live broadcast room were also dumbfounded.
It turns out that the Hope Island dungeon is of extra-high difficulty. Not to mention that this dungeon had a zero clearance rate in the past, even those who managed to survive had almost certainly escaped in a panic, and had never gotten anything good!
And now!!
This copy actually gave every player a world-class hidden mission, and the rewards were golden items!
The audience went crazy:
"I am not seeing things!"
"This copy is going to be incredible!"
"This is an unprecedented level of reward. Golden items are rarely dropped in the entire dungeon. Are these players going to get it?"
Although the Hope Island copy was somewhat popular, it had always been a niche popularity because the difficulty of the copy was not increased by SSS, and there were some newcomers, so most of the people who watched it were just there to watch the fun. However, this copy gave all players golden item-level rewards at once, and this world directly made the audience watching the Hope Island copy in the hall go crazy.
Jian Yue's live broadcast room exceeded 100,000 online viewers in one go.
The live streaming rooms of other players also exceeded 10,000:
“These players are so lucky!”
"I think it's a reward for their bravery."
"If you don't choose to come back, the hidden mission will never be triggered."
"It seems that's not all..."
“Hahahaha the one on the boat doesn’t have that.”
"Really?"
“It seems to be true hahahaha, only the players on the island triggered it.”
"No, don't be too funny!"
The audience in the live broadcast room was very lively. This kind of copy that only appears once in many years would naturally attract many people to watch, but the people on the island were still in dire straits.
Someone under the tree couldn't help but vomit blood again.
Tiantian rushed over and said worriedly: "Mengmeng!"
Many of the talents and abilities were almost unable to hold on, and there was even a faint blood mist floating towards the sacred tree. The same situation began to occur to other students not far away.
Jiang Yan had already started making arrangements. She said to Qin Yu behind her, "Take the younger children to a safe place on the ship! They are still young. Even if we sacrifice ourselves, we sacrifice ourselves, but they must live."
They don't even need to be told.
Later, someone sent the younger children onto the ship.
There were children hugging their older brothers and sisters, their cries accompanied by the waves, swaying in the thunder, lightning, wind and rain: "No, brother... Don't die, live... I can help you..."
The island of Hope is broken, but the hearts of all the people on the island are twisted together as if they were tied into a rope.
People live to survive.
Fighting for the seeds of hope, they let people go in order to leave behind the seeds of hope, they stayed for their companions. Even though the island that exploded behind them was very dangerous, no one fled out of fear, because that was their sacred tree, the faith of all the people on the planet. They wanted to stay to save their faith, and to stay for the thousands of companions behind them.
Countless rays of light, covered in blood mist, slowly rose up.
In the center of the white light mist at the top of the sacred tree, Jian Yue had almost lost consciousness. He was kneeling on the ground, but was being held tightly by someone. Leng Li held him in his arms with a hug.
Jian Yue only had fragmentary consciousness. He had been unconscious, but he opened his eyes as if he had sensed something.
The golden light was clearly reflected in his eyes.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Leng Li's figure slowly dissipating, like golden mist, or like tiny golden fragments. Jian Yue raised his hand to hug him, but his hand passed through his arms and he could not touch him.
The dizziness in his head and the severe pain in his body made it almost impossible for him to move, and he fell to the ground.
Jian Yue realized something and his whole body was shaking.
Leng Li leaned over, and the tall man slowly and lovingly embraced the lover in his arms. His soul was already very light, but when his kiss fell on Jian Yue's brow, Jian Yue seemed to still feel the somewhat scalding temperature, as if it came from the soul, it was his passionate love for him.
There is no greater pain in the world than this.
Jian Yue looked at the person in front of him. He was right in front of him, but he couldn't catch him.
"No." Jian Yue spoke silently, his voice was dry, and he squeezed out the last bit of sound. He said: "Xiao Yu... don't..."
Leng Li lowered his eyes and looked at him, his blue eyes were filled with endless affection. He spoke in a low voice, as if he was coaxing a child, and in fact, he was indeed coaxing his lover. He wanted to wipe away the tears from the corners of his lover's eyes, but his fingers easily passed through his face. He looked at him crying but could do nothing and said, "If I don't leave, everyone on the island will die."
The golden light became fainter and fainter, and Leng Li's figure almost merged with the aperture. His figure became fainter and fainter, so faint that it was almost invisible.
The huge halo created by the sacred tree absorbs everyone's energy.
The island was filled with the smell of blood. Every minute and every second, countless people were consumed by the energy ring absorbed by the sacred tree, and more and more people fell down.
Jian Yue was already at the end of his rope. As his consciousness gradually faded, he saw Leng Li leaning over and hugging him. At the moment when his deep voice faded away with the sea breeze, he said, "I came to this world just to see you. Thank you for coming to this world. I love you. Don't forget me."
