Chapter 154 End of the Main Text
4:58 minutes.
They both woke up in bed.
The moment they propped themselves up and looked at each other, they paused and couldn't help laughing.
Finally back to this morning - clothes scattered all over the floor, morning light shining through the gaps in the curtains, the body still retains fatigue from the previous night, and the intimacy seems to have happened just a moment ago.
They got out of bed and picked up their clothes in tacit understanding.
Mu Yu sighed: "I have always hoped to wake up earlier than you this morning, but when I woke up before five in the first reincarnation, I wondered why I woke up after such a short sleep."
Lu Zhongnian had just put on his T-shirt, walked over and rubbed his lower back, and asked in a low voice: "Does it still hurt?"
"It's sour," Mu Yu's ears turned red and his voice became quieter, "Let's talk about it after it's resolved."
Lu Zhongnian curved his lips: "Yeah."
They all drew aside the curtains, opened the sliding door, and walked out onto the balcony.
The sky was still grey, with thick clouds slowly drifting by. A black crescent moon stretched across the uncertain sky, and a huge, skinny black hand had just retracted into it.
Then, a flash of light appeared next to the moon and flew down.
"Is this the scene you saw in your second reincarnation?" Mu Yu asked, staring at the scene in the sky.
"yes."
No matter how they trace back, they can only return to the moment when the thief released the first game to the earth, so the only thing they can do is to solve this game so that no more copies will be dropped in the future.
"Let's go," Mu Yu turned around, "to the corridor."
The mountain has not yet awakened.
The corridor on the third floor of Wenshan Club was empty.
But they all knew very well that the waiters downstairs had already started working. Once they lost control of the game, those waiters would become monsters and the entire club would become a battlefield.
They were facing the terrace at the end of the corridor, and the light slowly drifted closer and penetrated into the room.
The ball of light floated slowly, like a ghost, until it moved in front of them. It stopped and floated in the air, just like the previous two reincarnations, waiting for them to touch it.
Mu Yu: "Shall we go together this time?"
"Okay," Lu Zhongnian turned his head and whispered the plan in his ear, then asked, "Do you want to stay or should I?"
"I'll stay," Mu Yu's eyes flashed with a sharp light, "I want to take a good look at its true appearance."
"Okay," Lu Zhongnian agreed, and then suddenly said, "I don't think the word 'future' should be described as destined."
Mu Yu was startled.
"When the past and the future are intertwined, the future seems to have an answer, but that's because we are the ones who choose to do so." Lu Chongnian lifted his hair, his voice soft.
“When you are drawn into a dungeon, you will want to find the answer and keep going. When the two worlds are torn apart and it seems that there is no way out, no one will give up at that moment. Everyone will definitely return to the starting point and struggle to the last moment. At the starting point, time and space intersect there.”
“The future is certain because we are certain.”
Whether in soul or character, they are strong and have created a solid future.
In this process, if there is any lack of correct choice or any lack of stubborn persistence, the future will collapse on the road ahead.
Therefore, the future is not "destined".
It was still created by their own hands, persisted in, and struggled out.
Just like now——
The reason they can come to the present moment is because they have persevered through two reincarnations.
Every step they took towards dawn dragged the heavy and thick eve behind them.
The future may be foreseeable.
But it was all still full of meaning.
They need to walk up to it and unveil it with their own hands.
The light in Mu Yu's eyes slowly settled down, and he responded softly: "Yeah."
The two stood side by side, their eyes fixed on the ball of light.
Take one step toward it, two steps.
Stand still.
Both hands were raised at the same time, with the fingertips touching the surface of the light ball.
——
Initial game, third start.
The moment his cell phone vibrated, Lu Zhongnian turned around, ran to the other end of the corridor, and went straight down the stairs.
[Game starts:]
The cursor flashes after the colon.
When it flashed for the second time, Mu Yu input [1] - In this game, they and the thief sat on both sides of the chessboard. They were always equal, or rather, they had an advantage.
The guardian was still suppressing him at this moment. The four times the cursor flashed were opportunities to input the rules first. It was a pity that they did not realize this in time in the first two reincarnations.
【1. The player and the monster are locked. 】
A three-dimensional map appeared in Mu Yu's mind. The map covered the entire Wenshan Club. He could see the people moving around in real time on each floor.
As if he was programmed with some kind of program, he quickly circled the player and regenerated into a monster. The image disappeared from his mind, and the phone screen and cursor reappeared in his field of vision.
[1. Players and monsters are locked. All players must be inside the instance, have an independent entity that can be killed, is not attached to any creature or object, has energy and abilities equivalent to each other, and is not a copy of any human face that has ever existed.]
The cursor continues to flash.
[2. Humans are one camp, and non-humans are the other camp. The side whose members are killed by monsters first loses the game, and the other side wins.]
A powerful force descended from the sky, the ground shook violently, severe double vision appeared, dense black vertical lines appeared in the air, and the space seemed to be torn apart.
Mu Yu gritted his teeth to resist the pressure and looked up.
A strange figure appeared in front.
She was on the terrace, bent over, holding the eaves with one hand, and leaning her head into the corridor, staring at him.
The body is three or four meters long, naked, with slender hands and feet. Rather than being human, it looks more like a monster that only appears in urban legends.
There was not a single hair on his body, and his pupils were silver. When he was stared at, Mu Yu's hair stood up uncontrollably.
This is Him.
This is the appearance He chose to transform into when He was forced into the battlefield.
With his hands and feet on the ground, he grabbed his prey like a wild beast, staring at Mu Yu while quietly crawling towards him.
The body began to clamor to stay away.
The icy air began to pour into his body frantically, as if it wanted to swallow up all of his human body temperature and transform him into an indescribable inhuman appearance.
His hands were about to be unable to hold things, his legs were about to be unable to support him, the shape of his body was about to collapse, his blood vessels were about to burst, and the blood was about to gush out, all of which would fall to the ground with a loud splash.
Mu Yu's breathing became very rapid, but it seemed not to be rapid, but rather it was infinitely slowed down.
He could no longer sense space or time, and he couldn't even sense that he was still on Earth, in the dimension to which he originally belonged.
The light-colored pupils were pressed against the front of his eyes.
Eyeball against eyeball.
He stopped breathing and seemed to have lost consciousness.
The phone vibrated with a buzz -
His eyeballs twitched, and Mu Yu suddenly pulled away from this strange eye contact.
Turn your gaze downward.
The players have written down their rules.
【3. When the game ends, the non-human player returns to the initial state, and the channel is closed and abandoned. 】
At this moment, Mu Yu's eyes were focused and a smile suddenly appeared on his lips.
He asked calmly, "Do you want to continue?"
Light-colored eyes studied him inquiringly.
"If one of your sentences is enough, I will continue writing."
The cursor flashed for the fourth time after the period, and Mu Yu pressed the Enter key to change the line.
[4. Players who are judged dead in the game will remain forever in the world where the copy was created.]
He immediately frowned and took a step back.
There was a noisy sound coming from downstairs.
On the terrace, Lu Zhongnian suddenly climbed up from downstairs and rushed towards them.
He turned his head subconsciously. At that moment, Lu Chongnian jumped over him and threw Mu Yu into a corner to protect him. A three or four meter tall monster with muscles as big as a hill followed closely behind him and stepped on him who was caught off guard!
His body was instantly broken, his light-colored eyeballs burst out of his sockets, and silver blood spurted out of his body.
He opened his mouth wide and let out a silent scream. His face was distorted and hideous. For the first time, a human emotion flashed across his inhuman face: disbelief.
The monster paused, shifted his gaze away from Lu Zhongnian, lowered his head, and shifted all his attention to him.
It bent down, grabbed his neck and lifted him up.
Mu Yu and Lu Zhongnian stood up.
"Do you think we will still follow the settings you made in the first two reincarnations?"
Monsters are equal to players, killing a player is equivalent to killing a monster.
He even wrote down the third rule to prevent them from making the rule like Lu Chongnian wrote in the second reincarnation: "Once a player dies, it is truly dead and there is no reversal."
However, He knew that everything would change with the succession of reincarnations, and they certainly knew it too.
For this initial game, the players they set up were only the three of them from beginning to end.
And the monster is the fourth creature besides them.
"How does it feel to be stepped on by a monster?"
The monster roared and threw him heavily to the ground.
Its limbs had been twisted and deformed, like a broken toy, unable to move any more. It could only lie on the ground, staring at them coldly.
Mu Yu and Lu Chongnian looked down at him.
“Is it fun to play the role of a human in a game that humans have experienced so many times?”
He was panting rapidly, silver blood was flowing out from his body, and his face was filled with anger and revenge.
Mu Yu picked up the phone.
"'The channel is closed and abandoned'. You insisted on writing this down. Doesn't this mean that humans actually have the ability to travel through dimensions and go to the other side of the channel?"
The monster raised its foot and stepped on his head.
"But this should be a matter for future humans."
"Now, the game is about to be closed. Since you like our world so much, stay here for the rest of your life."
Mu Yu said calmly, writing down the last rule.
[5. Dead players will transform into the outer shell of the world in the form that their initial state can adapt to, and become the energy that feeds the world.]
A hint of fear flashed across his eyes, and the next second, his head was severely crushed!
Just like human beings will eventually return to dust in this world that belongs to them.
Since you like this place so much, then stay and become a part of the energy that makes this world go round.
——Then, open your eyes wide, look at human beings forever, and watch them live well!
