Chapter 136 Autobiography (I)
9:00 PM
Mu Yu joined the main group in the library.
The library of Lianda University is uniquely designed. It is in the shape of a disc with white exterior walls. It is called the "Autobiography Library" and is full of artistic atmosphere inside and out.
There is a small shop on the first floor where students can sit in the window seats and read books while drinking hot drinks.
At the beginning, Jiang Shuyue studied very seriously.
Although the arrival of the copy made him nervous, it was not his style to waste time on meaningless tension.
Gao Zhanyuan was the first one to lose his temper.
He would rather go out for a run than sit here like an idiot. He and places like libraries just don't suit him.
When he got outside, he rolled up his sleeves and ran around in circles. His spirit of diligence in sports attracted the attention of many Lianzhou University students.
Then, snow started falling from the sky, and Su Mingyun, Jing Qiao, and Yu Ning ran outside and started taking pictures.
Two girls and one boy, getting along surprisingly harmoniously.
Then, Yan Shaowen and Mu Chenxi began to chat about some very adult and mature topics, Fu Xiaoju, Hong Yang and Ye Sui teamed up to play games, and Mu Yu secretly talked to the invisible and intangible Lu Chongnian.
...Jiang Shuyue couldn't continue studying on his own.
He was desperate and started playing with his phone. He chatted with his friends on WeChat, then looked up and said to them, "Hey, they said that the Lotus Festival will set off fireworks at midnight tonight!"
"Hmm?" Mu Yu became excited. "Is this something your school officially does?"
"Of course not. It should be organized by students themselves. The scale should not be very large. It is placed in front of the library."
"That's perfect. We have a great location here." Mu Yu said.
Jiang Shuyue rubbed his hands, exhaled, looked out the window, and murmured, "I wonder if we can see it..."
"Why not?" Mu Yu said in a relaxed tone, "No matter what time the dungeon starts, as long as you clear it successfully, you can see the fireworks."
However, will this copy really be the same as usual?
This question always lingers in everyone's mind.
But everyone tacitly kept silent.
Because difficulties can only be solved when they actually occur, there is no point in worrying in advance.
When it was almost ten o'clock, Gao Zhanyuan came running back, his forehead was covered with sweat, and his whole body was hot: "It hasn't started yet?"
They can only continue to wait.
…
At half past ten, the snow became heavier, and goose feather-like snowflakes fell from the night sky one by one.
There were more and more students on campus, and those who had not originally planned to "gather together to celebrate the New Year" and stay in their dormitories all ran out.
…
At eleven o'clock, everyone started posting photos of the snow on their circle of friends.
The auspicious snow in the New Year is undoubtedly a good omen.
Even Mu Yu, who usually doesn't like taking photos, couldn't help but take several photos of the snowflakes falling outside.
If only Lu Zhongnian could actually be by his side right now...
"You and Snow Flower must be a good match." He whispered.
A vague touch squeezed his hand.
…
At half past eleven, seven or eight students came to the open space in front of the library and set off fireworks.
There are not many of them and they are far away from the surrounding trees and buildings, so they are very safe.
Because the copy had not started yet, and something more attractive appeared outside, everyone walked out of the library to watch.
The temperature didn't rise at all, and the wind was still bone-chillingly cold.
Fortunately, the New Year's Eve atmosphere is getting stronger and stronger, and everyone is excited.
Some people put their hands in their pockets, some stamped their feet, and everyone gathered together, their excited laughter and joy could be heard in the heavy snow.
Mu Chenxi brushed the snowflakes off Mu Yu's hair.
Halfway through, he let out a "tsk", then withdrew his hand and took a look.
"What's wrong?" Mu Yu asked puzzledly.
"I bumped into you," Mu Chenxi said disdainfully, "Lu Chongnian, please go to the other side."
Mu Yu: “…”
A faint touch moved silently from the right side to his left side, and Mu Yu felt that his boyfriend was really miserable.
He held Lu Chongnian's hands in his arms sadly, as if Lu Chongnian could still feel the coldness of the real world, trying to use his body temperature to warm Lu Chongnian's heart that might be crumbling in the cold wind.
By the 58th minute, the crowd was getting more and more excited, and the snow was falling heavier.
Gao Zhanyuan walked around Mu Yu in the heavy snow and shouted, "Why hasn't the dungeon started yet? Did everyone make a mistake today?"
"So the reason you suddenly wanted to come to Lian University today was because your desire to learn had exploded?" Mu Yu asked from his soul.
Gao Zhanyuan was choked up immediately: "Brother Yu, don't say such things. I have goosebumps..."
"It's a little late though," Ye Sui and the others came closer at some point, "If we continue like this, today will be over. Except for the copy in Yinghu Park, there has never been a copy at this time."
They looked around calmly, alert to any changes.
Time finally came to midnight.
Halfway through the 59th minute, the emotions of the students gathered in the square had reached their peak.
20 seconds left, 10 seconds, 8 seconds...
"five!"
Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted loudly.
The others followed immediately -
"Four!"
"three!"
"two!"
"one!"
The clock struck midnight from somewhere, resounding in the night sky of the university town.
The fireworks were lit and rushed into the sky with a bang, exploding into gorgeous fireworks, and the bright light flashed in everyone's eyes.
[In the overlap of time and space, a total of eleven pairs of duplicates appeared. ]
[Please find another self within five minutes and merge with it, otherwise you will be annihilated.]
【5】
Golden subtitles suddenly appeared behind the fireworks in the night sky, stretching across the horizon.
In the square, ordinary students were still cheering for the arrival of the New Year, but the pupils of the players suddenly contracted.
They immediately pulled themselves away from the warm New Year atmosphere and looked around.
——Right opposite the crowd, Gao Zhanyuan from another world noticed them and shouted, attracting the attention of Ye Sui and Hong Yang beside him!
Mu Yu immediately pushed the three people beside him and said, "Go over here quickly!"
Gao Zhanyuan over there also pulled the shocked Ye Sui and Hong Yang over and said, "We need to merge with our other self, quickly!"
Mu Chenxi was scanning the crowd when Mu Chenxing's voice suddenly sounded behind him.
"Ah Xi!"
He turned around and saw another himself and Mu Chenxing running towards him.
He strode over and embraced and merged with his other self. When the dizziness passed, he found that Mu Chenxing's body was emitting bursts of golden mist, as if it was disappearing.
Except for Mu Chenxing, the same thing happened to all other ordinary students in the square!
Mu Chenxing said calmly: "This time, the dungeon may only select players from both worlds who have reached the map range. I can't enter the dungeon with you."
"Sister!" Mu Yu also ran over, frowning, "Don't worry, my brother and I will take good care of ourselves."
Mu Chenxing touched Mu Yu's face with a complicated expression: "Yan Shaowen brought Lu Zhongnian's skin here too. We don't know if this will work. I hope he can come back."
Mu Yu quickly asked: "Where are they?"
"It should be in the back. Yan Shaowen thought it was too crowded here, so he went there to stand."
Mu Yu felt the vague touch that had been holding his hand suddenly disappear. He raised his head, his eyes passed over Mu Chenxing and fell on Yan Shaowen who was in the dark more than ten meters away.
The Yan Shaowen from the two worlds have already met. Lu Zhongnian stood aside, looking away with an indifferent expression, as if he didn't notice anything unusual.
Mu Yu's heart was lifted.
"I'll go take a look." He ran over there.
The snow was so heavy that people could hardly see each other's figures. The golden mist merged with the wind and snow, and with the laughter, creating a weird atmosphere.
[Six pairs of repeaters left]

In a corner of the square, Su Mingyun found himself looking up at the night sky with an incredible look on his face.
Their eyes met, and the other girl instantly opened her mouth in amazement.
Su Mingyun hurried over and shouted, "Don't run! There's no time to explain. You'll know after the fusion!!"
She rushed over and gave him a strong bear hug, and the two of them merged into one. She shook her dizzy head.
"Mingyun, have you seen another me?" Jing Qiao's anxious voice came from behind.
Su Mingyun opened his eyes and met the gaze of another businessman who was walking towards him from the depths of the woods with a cell phone in hand.
The light from the phone screen shone on this clever face.
She looked panic-stricken, as if wondering, "Did I just witness a crime scene, or am I having a severe hallucination?"
Su Mingyun immediately yelled: "Qiaoqiao, come here quickly, the other one you stay here!"
[Four pairs of repeaters left]

Qu Ge stood in the heavy snow.
He looked up at the golden words in the sky, then lowered his head and looked at his body.
His body was gradually becoming transparent in the golden light.
Sigh softly.
Wasn't selected in this copy?
So, he from another world didn't arrive here tonight?
Not far away, a boy with curly black hair was standing with his friend. His friend was chattering excitedly about something, but the curly-haired boy was looking at the night sky in doubt, speechless.
Qu Ge noticed it and said loudly, "Yu Ning."
The curly-haired boy didn't respond, but his friend heard it and patted him on the shoulder.
Yu Ning turned around blankly.
His friend asked using sign language: "Is that your friend?"
Yu Ning shook his head blankly, indicating that he didn't know Qu Ge.
Qu Ge said slowly: "Have you noticed the current situation between me and your friend?"
The distance was too far, and Yu Ning couldn't see Qu Ge's lip movements, but his friend could translate for him using sign language.
While translating, he kept talking to himself: "What's going on? What's wrong with me? I'm fine!"
Yu Ning pursed her lips.
Of course he noticed that just after those strange subtitles appeared in the sky, his friends and the people around him all emitted golden light, and their figures began to become transparent, as if they were disappearing.
However, none of them seemed to notice anything unusual about themselves.
"If you want to know what happened, run forward," Qu Ge pointed to the square ahead, "The subtitles are in that piece of sky, so they should be there too."
"What is he talking about?" asked the friend beside him confusedly.
In fact, Yu Ning didn't understand either.
However, a voice in his heart told him: Yes, he had to hurry to the square, where someone was waiting for him, and he had to go there immediately.
Yu Ning's heart was beating very fast.
He hesitated for a second and signed to his friend: I'll go over there and take a look, and be back soon, you wait for me here.
"Hey, Yu Ning!" Hearing his friends' shouts, Yu Ning ran forward without hesitation.
[Two pairs of repeaters left]
【2】
A thick fog began to settle over the square.
Jiang Shuyue and Fu Xiaoju searched frantically for two minutes and finally found themselves in another world in the corner of the square. They had a "forced love" with each other regardless of each other's confusion. After merging, they began to retreat towards the library.
Everyone gathered together again and shouted to each other.
"Is everyone here?"
"Yu Ning, here, come here quickly!"
"Where are Mu Yu and the others?"
Behind the square.
Mu Yu discovered that the "Lu Chongnian" in front of him did not react.
The boy stood in front of him indifferently, as if he could not see the words in the sky, the strange situation around him, or even himself.
——The square was in great chaos at the moment. Players from both worlds and ordinary people appeared here at the same time. Old players could see each other across the barriers between the two worlds, regardless of whether they were selected for this copy or not. But ordinary people could obviously only see people from their world.
As for Lu Chongnian, his reaction indicated that he was no different from ordinary people now.
He came from another world and could not see Mu Yu.
His body was emitting golden light and becoming more and more transparent.
"Lu Chongnian..." Mu Yu's heart sank.
Why is this happening? Is it impossible for Lu Chongnian to combine with his skin?
His skin was excluded from this copy?
Could it be that the way to leave the foggy world is not what they thought, but there is another way?
Yan Shaowen and Mu Chenxi were beside him, watching the scene with frowns on their faces.
The fog was getting closer and closer, and it seemed that it was going to swallow up the place. Mu Chenxi decisively grabbed Mu Yu's arm and said, "Let's go, let's get out of here first. If we want to find a way, we have to enter the dungeon first!"
Mu Yu stared at "Lu Chongnian", but the latter never gave any response and his eyes were calm.
"..." Mu Yu gritted his teeth and turned around, "Let's go!"
The fog was getting closer and closer, and the people in the square were being swallowed up.
They retreated straight into the library.
Jiang Shuyue counted the number of people and was stunned: "Except Mu Yu, there are only ten people? Didn't the subtitles just indicate that there are eleven duplicates?"
Gao Zhanyuan stared at the situation outside and said casually, "Could the eleventh person be Lu Chongnian?"
The next second, a figure walked up the steps in front of the library and headed towards them.
When they saw who was coming, they were surprised.
"Principal Dou?!"
"Principal Dou, why are you here?"
Principal Dou walked into the library, brushed off the snow on his shoulders, and said helplessly, "I saw your chat history. I just arrived at the airport half an hour ago, so I wanted to come over to see what was going on. I didn't expect that the scene would be so big before the dungeon even started."
Jiang Shuyue asked quickly: "Then Principal Dou, have you also merged with your self in another world?"
"Of course," Principal Dou sighed, complaining rarely, "I finally managed to get rid of He Xin on the road, but in the other world, I still carry him with me... Alas."
At this moment, the fog was about to surge up the steps.
Mu Chenxi asked Mu Yu in a low voice: "Can you feel him now?"
Mu Yu shook his head, took a step forward, and stared straight out the door.
The fog was getting closer and closer, enveloping the entire library.
This time, the copy seems to be taking place here.
"...Lu Chongnian!" He couldn't help but shout into the depths of the fog, "If you're still here... remember to come to the library! Come here!"
"We are waiting for you, you must come!"
The fog rushed towards them quickly, like a huge wave, as if it would swallow up the whole place!
Jiang Shuyue and Gao Zhanyuan quickly worked together to close the library door. There were two clangs, and the glass door shook twice and then stopped.
The thick fog hit the glass door and finally stopped.
They surged silently outside the door, full of a covetous look.
Everyone swallowed their saliva, feeling that this time the fog was much more severe.
A moment of silence.
Mu Chenxi spoke first: "Let's take a look at what's going on in this instance."
The library has changed at some point.
The students all disappeared.
Originally there were three floors in total, but now only one is left. The ceiling was sealed at the top of this floor and the stairs were erased.
There is a sign on the front desk at the door with the rules written on it.
They walked over.
Library usage rules:
1. Please maintain order in the museum, do not play around, and do not touch the facilities in the museum at will.
2. Only readers can read books.
3. Only librarians can adjust the position of books.
4. When returning a book after reading, please write the return time on the library card.
5. You can use the library card as a bookmark, but please do not lose it or misplace it. Please ensure that the library card is always clipped in the correct book.
6. Please cherish your books and do not drop them on the ground. If you find them dropped, please pick them up immediately.
7. Closing time: 1:35.
Jiang Shuyue picked up the sign and turned it over - the back was blank.
Everyone looked at each other.
Jiang Shuyue and Gao Zhanyuan immediately went back inside the table and rummaged around. After standing up, Jiang Shuyue said uncertainly, "It seems that there are no three prerequisite rules this time..."
Since the first copy came, the first things they saw were always those three rules that appeared together, or those two rules that appeared together.
[From now on, don't let people around you notice your abnormality. ]
[Please find the monster generator as soon as possible and destroy it. 】
[If you cannot complete the task within xxx, please be mentally prepared... to face death. ]
However, this time, these three rules did not appear.
In silence, Su Mingyun asked in a low voice: "Those three rules should be the same as the general rules. They are all used by the guardians to remind us."
"... Could it be that the guardian has completely disappeared?"
