"Shao Lin, what are you doing? I'm not lying to you. Zhai Wan'er threatened me to help her. Really, you have to believe me. I love you, Shao Lin, how could I lie to you?"
Upon seeing the gun he pulled out, An Susu trembled even more violently.
Her already pale face was now even whiter than snow, like a paper doll.
He took a step forward, and she crawled back a step.
A long trail of blood was drawn.
Zhai Shaolin gripped the small pistol and pointed the muzzle at An Susu.
Having lost his sister, he had long since lost his reason.
"Shao Lin, don't think nonsense, don't do anything foolish. Let's go home! I miss our home."
When An Susu saw the dark muzzle of a gun pointed at her head, her voice trembled even more.
He and she had only been married for two years and hadn't even had a child yet.
She didn't want to die, she didn't want to die.
"Home? Do we still have a home?" Zhai Shaolin tilted his head back and let out a cold laugh, a crazed expression on his face, before looking down at An Susu, who was afraid of him.
"Don't think I don't know what you've been up to all these years, taking advantage of my love for you to deceive me time and time again. And now you still want to lie to me, An Susu? Where has your heart gone? Or do I deserve this? Hahaha—"
"Shao Lin, no, I'm not lying to you." An Su Su shook her head desperately, tears washing away the dust and bloodstains on her face.
It's like washing away the mistakes she's made over the years.
At this moment, An Susu had no regrets or remorse, because in her world, a lie repeated three times becomes the truth.
The power of brainwashing is always so strong.
She always felt that she hadn't done anything wrong. For him, she had done many things, some good and some bad.
"An Susu, let's die together! That way our souls can be freed." Zhai Shaolin stopped, raised his right hand, and pointed the gun at the back of her head.
"Shao Lin, please don't do anything foolish! Don't kill me! I beg you, I was wrong, Shao Lin, I'll never lie to you again."
An Susu wailed, crawling frantically on the ground like a worm. Sensing danger approaching, she looked back at the gun in Zhai Shaolin's hand.
It seemed like sparks were shooting from the muzzle of the gun—
"No—" Her voice echoed through the sky.
Then a loud "bang" rang out, and blood splattered everywhere.
With her eyes closed, An Susu collapsed into a pool of blood.
A second gunshot rang out.
Startled by the gunshot, Gu Qingqing froze on the spot, unable to take another step forward, her face turning deathly pale.
Her heart suddenly began to pound violently, as if it were about to leap out of her chest.
The first shot, the second shot.
Who fired the shot?
She clutched her aching chest and turned to look in the direction from which the gunshots had rang out.
All that could be seen was An Susu lying in a pool of blood, convulsing, while Zhai Shaolin pointed a gun at her head and fired a shot. Blood splattered everywhere, and in just a few seconds, he fell straight to the ground.
Oh my god!
They actually shot themselves?
Fear gripped her, and Gu Qingqing's shoulders trembled.
Suddenly, my mind went blank, and a voice rang out: "The male and female protagonists are dead. This book world will collapse and disintegrate in thirty seconds, and all characters within it will be wiped out. Your mission has failed. Since you didn't kill them, this system can only send you back to your original world, but will erase all your memories of this place."
Is the world of books collapsing and disintegrating?
Annihilate all characters?
They also want to erase her memory?
Gu Qingqing couldn't accept this fact. Before she could process it, she saw a huge hole torn open in the sky.
The ground not far away shook slightly as if an earthquake had struck, and then a deep, bottomless crack appeared in the ground.
"No—" she screamed, startling Fu Jue into hugging her.
"Qingqing, don't be afraid, I will protect you." He was also surprised by the sudden cracks in the ground. Could it be an earthquake?
However, the tremor was not strong.
Everything in front of me feels very strange.
"Fu Jue, don't leave me!" She looked up at him, only to find that all the colors of his clothes had faded.
She looked at the three Gu brothers and their companions running towards her and noticed that their clothes were all a shade lighter than usual.
Even their hair has changed.
As the sky grew darker, the sun was blocked by clouds, and the crack in the sky grew larger and larger until it was invisible to the naked eye.
The crack was dark and seemed to be swallowing everything.
Suddenly a strong wind arose, and birds in the sky fell down as if they had lost gravity.
"What on earth is happening? Is it the end of the world?" Gu En stared in disbelief at the scene before him; it was a scene straight out of a science fiction movie.
"No matter what happened, let's go back quickly." Gu Jin assumed it was an earthquake and took a step forward, supporting Gu Qingqing's arm.
"Don't be afraid, Qingqing, we will protect you."
"Big brother—" Her tears welled up as she saw cracks appear on Gu Jin's face.
Looking at Fu Jue and Gu Mu and Gu En, large cracks had appeared on their faces, and their skin was almost translucent.
"No--"
Gu Qingqing couldn't accept the disappearance of everything in front of her. They were real people with flesh and blood, with emotions and feelings, not characters in a book or some two-dimensional persona.
They will all disappear in just over ten seconds.
She will return to her original world, and the memories she created there will be erased.
"What happened? Why did we become like this?" Gu En was the first to notice the cracks and changes on Gu Jin and Gu Mu's faces, then looked down at their hands, which had become transparent.
