Chapter 137 Finale + Extra Talk In
the blink of an eye, a year has passed.
Summer vacation is approaching, and because it has entered the final review stage, there are a lot of people in the library.
Li Zhao helped Yu Xi reserve a seat early, and put a cup of steaming soy milk on the table.
"Why are you so late today?"
As Yu Xi came over with her schoolbag, several distracted students in the library quietly looked up and looked at her a few times, and then hurriedly lowered their heads, and the books on the table blocked countless sights.
Li Zhao pulled out the stool and helped Yu Nuo take off her schoolbag. "Did you sleep late last night?"
Yu Nuo didn't look at him. She sat down by herself, lowered her head for a long time before she said, "No."
As if she heard the impatience in her words, Li Zhao paused and didn't ask any more questions. His expression was still as warm as ever. He picked up the soy milk on the table, "I bought buns and soy milk. We can go to the corridor to eat together."
Yu Nuo picked up the soy milk on the table and still didn't look at Li Zhao. "I don't want to eat." It
was difficult for him to have a good face to Li Zhao now.
Just confirming that Li Zhao was Qin Du made Yu Nuo very upset, so she decided to gradually distance herself from Li Zhao during this semester. As a result, this exposed Li Zhao's desire for control and he had to follow him no matter what the occasion.
"I will go to the library with you," Li Zhao said when Yu Xi proposed to go to the library to study at the end of the semester. "If you don't agree, I can only give Maomao away."
He actually threatened him with Maomao.
Yu Xi was so angry at that time. I don't know what he was thinking. His mind was blank. He just picked up the book on the table and threw it out.
He originally just wanted to throw the book at Li Zhao, but Li Zhao deliberately leaned over slightly and used his head to catch the book. It just hit his forehead and immediately bled.
Yu Xi was frightened and his face turned pale. He stood there staring at Li Zhao blankly.
"Are you still angry now?" Li Zhao didn't even wipe the blood off his face, and even tilted his head and smiled at Yu Lin. "If you are still angry, you can smash it again until you are satisfied."
Seeing that Yu Lin didn't say anything, Li Zhao stepped closer and lowered his head to observe Yu Lin's expression. "If you don't say anything, I will take it as your consent."
As he said, he held Yu Lin's cold fingers with his backhand.
After this happened, Yu Lin was forced to acquiesce to Li Zhao's going to the library to study with him.
Although he agreed to many of Li Zhao's requests on the surface, Yu Lin had been thinking about how to tell Yu Lin about this matter in private, so that Li Zhao could completely disappear from his life.
——It seems that there is only one way.
Li Zhao is a player of the infinite world, and Yu Lin is the main god of the infinite world.
If Yu Lin could somehow prevent Li Zhao from leaving the Infinite World forever, he would naturally not appear around Yu Zhen anymore.
But before Yu Zhen had time to figure out how to tell Yu Lin about this, Li Zhao took away Yu Zhen's phone.
Previously, because of Maomao, Yu Zhen gave Li Zhao a key to her off-campus apartment. After his relationship with Li Zhao deteriorated, Yu Zhen deliberately stopped renting apartments and lived in school dormitories instead.
But Li Zhao threatened him with Maomao again, "Maomao is still off-campus, don't you want to see him anymore?"
Maomao is still a puppy less than one year old, and Yu Zhen really can't bear to watch Li Zhao do something bad to Maomao.
After being forced to move back to the rental apartment, Li Zhao really lived with Yu Zhen.
At first, the two were just "silent roommates". Although Li Zhao always liked to talk to Yu Lin, Yu Lin never paid any attention to him and completely ignored him.
However, as Li Zhao pressed harder and harder, Yu Lin's attitude towards him changed from indifference to annoyance.
This situation continued until the night after the last final exam.
Because Li Zhao's exam ended later, no one was in the apartment when Yu Lin returned.
He was relieved immediately and called Yu Lin while packing his luggage.
"Didn't you say you were going on a trip with your classmates when school started?" Yu Lin asked, "Why do you want to go home right after the exam?" Yu
Nan wished that Yu Lin would fly over to pick him up right now, and said quickly, "Are you coming to pick me up or not? If not, I'll buy a plane ticket now."
Yu Lin immediately agreed on the other end of the phone, "Come on, I'll pick you up tomorrow."
While talking to Yu Lin in the room, Yu Nan didn't notice that Li Zhao had been standing outside the door listening for a while, holding a bunch of flowers in his hand.
"Speaking of which, can you take Maomao away next semester?" Yu Nan said to Yu Lin, "Let Maomao stay at home, I'll go back to accompany him on Saturdays and Sundays when I'm free--"
Li Zhao strode into the room and reached out to snatch Yu Nan's phone.
Yu Nan: "What are you doing! Give me my phone back!"
Without waiting for Yu Nan to step forward to snatch it, Li Zhao took a step back, raised his hand and turned off the phone.
"You are not allowed to go anywhere."
Maomao, who was tied to the door outside the living room, whimpered uncomfortably, and kept scratching the wall with his claws.
Yu Nan stood up and tried to snatch the phone, but Li Zhao was much stronger than him. He threw the phone behind him with one hand and pushed Yu Nan onto the sofa with one hand, holding her down.
"You want to take Maomao away," Li Zhao stared at Yu Nan's dark and timid eyes, and said word by word, "I don't allow it."
The two were so close that Li Zhao could even smell the subtle fragrance of Yu Nan.
Yu Niang was pressed down and couldn't move. When they looked at each other, she was very sensitive to Li Zhao's mood at the moment. "...Maomao is my dog." She
spoke in a low voice, fearing that Li Zhao would do something extreme.
"Maomao is our dog," Li Zhao repeated, "As long as you don't leave, Maomao can always be by your side."
Yu Niang didn't understand what he meant.
Then, Li Zhao took out the flowers that he had prepared long ago from behind.
"Xiao Niang, I like you."
"Be with me."
Yu Niang was stunned.
Li Zhao pushed the flowers forward again, as if he would keep doing this if Yu Niang didn't take them today.
It was too absurd.
Yu Nuo lowered her eyes, and stretched out her hand slowly to take the flowers as if she was forced to do so. Li Zhao, who was opposite her, finally smiled and handed the flowers to her with both hands.
But before he could put the flowers into Yu Nuo's hands, Yu Nuo took advantage of Li Zhao's loosening of his hand, suddenly stood up and kicked Li Zhao.
"Who wants your flowers!"
Taking advantage of Li Zhao's temporary lack of reaction, Yu Nuo turned over and ran down from the sofa to pick up the mobile phone on the ground.
But just as the mobile phone was in her hand, Li Zhao restrained Yu Nuo again.
During the struggle, Yu Nuo kicked the door frame, making a dull sound.
Maomao outside seemed to sense the movement inside the house. He started to bark loudly from his initial whimpering, and scratched the door with his claws.
"If Qin Lingqi can do it, why can't I?"
Li Zhao exerted force on his wrist and threw Yu Nu's phone out with one hand. His face was reflected in his dark eyes. "Why, can't I satisfy you alone?"
Yu Nu's face turned pale and red, and she gritted her teeth. "Who would like you... You are so hypocritical and..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Zhao's expression changed visibly. The
current Li Zhao has perfectly overlapped with Qin Du in the copy.
...Not only Qin Du, but also "Charlie" in another copy.
Or are they actually Tan Lan?
In front of him, Li Zhao and Tan Lanbi's Yu Cheng huddled together, and finally had no choice but to squat in the corner, their foreheads stained with sweat, and their thin black hair hanging around their ears.
The man wanted to eat his mouth.
After realizing this, the "experienced" Yu Cheng hurriedly covered her mouth, stared at Tan Lan in warning, and her whole body tensed up.
- Like a frightened rabbit.
Tan Lan was unmoved and came up to break off Yu Cheng's hand, but now Yu Cheng's strength increased again, and she would rather scratch her face with a red mark than let go.
He could only resort to kissing Yu Cheng's neck.
Yu Zhen covered her face tightly, and could even feel the other person's hot breath on her neck, sliding down with an itchy touch.
If someone noticed, they would see that along Yu Zhen's collar, the skin from the clavicle to the chest turned dark red.
Tan Lan's breathing became heavier.
But before he could take the next step, three loud "bang bang bang" noises came from outside the door.
Tan Lan stopped moving.
[Run.]
System 08 suddenly came online at this time, and there was a slight sound of electric current in his ears, and the electric current went directly into Tan Lan's palm.
As if she thought of something, Yu Zhen stood up suddenly, pushed away the electrocuted Tan Lan, and ran out.
Maomao, who was tied to the door, barked excitedly and jumped on the ground with his paws.
Yu Zhen's hands were shaking with nervousness, and the few seconds to open the door seemed to be several hours.
It was indeed Yu Lin who knocked on the door.
It had been a while since Yu Zhen's phone was forcibly hung up. It just so happened that Yu Lin had just got off the plane when she answered the phone. When she found that Yu Zhen was in a bad situation, she quickly bought a plane ticket and rushed here. As soon as
Yu Lin opened the door, she saw that her brother's eyes and nose were red, and there was a large area of bruises on his neck. It seemed that he had been bullied and couldn't even speak.
"What's wrong? What's going on..."
Yu Lin was scared to death. Before she could ask a question, Tan Lan walked out of the bedroom.
Both of their clothes were a little messy, and combined with the marks on Yu Lin's face and neck, no matter how dumb Yu Lin was, she could guess what happened.
Tan Lan even greeted Yu Lin: "Brother."
Who is your brother? !
Yu Lin's head buzzed, and blood rushed to his brain. He lost all his thoughts and was hit in the face by a punch, knocking Tan Lan down and bending over. He used full force in this punch, and the back of his hand hit Tan Lan's nose, scratching himself.
Tan Lan covered his face without saying a word, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and stood up again as if nothing had happened.
Yu Xi was afraid that Yu Lin would push Tan Lan too far and the latter would do something crazy, so she hurried over to hold Maomao and tugged at Yu Lin's sleeve, "Let's go first." It
would be even worse if Yu Lin was allowed to beat Tan Lan to death here.
Yu Xi was not sure what impact the space he was in would have on the future, so she could only try her best to control things from happening.
Tan Lan's face was covered in blood from the beating, his ears could not hear clearly, and his vision was blurred by the blood. He could only watch Yu Lin go into the house to pack his luggage.
Yu Xi just stood at the door holding Maomao from a distance and did not come to see him.
The suitcase made a noise as it was dragged on the floor. Maomao was obviously a little scared, and he whimpered softly at the angry Yu Lin. Only when Yu Nan kept touching his head did Maomao stop him from barking.
The two of them and the dog left the apartment one after the other.
"Did that bastard do anything?" On the way to the airport in a taxi, Yu Lin was obviously still angry, and stared at the marks on Yu Nan's face for a long time, "If he really did something more outrageous, I would go back now--"
Yu Nan quickly shook her head, "No, no, I did it myself."
The car was quiet for a while.
"Take a sick leave for the next semester," Yu Lin closed his eyes, his hands still shaking, "I will explain this matter to the school. If it doesn't work out, I will move to live with you near your school."
No wonder Yu Lin is so nervous.
Yu Nan has been beautiful since she was a child. After their parents passed away, Yu Lin was the only one living with Yu Nan.
With two children living together and Yu Nan's outstanding appearance, there are naturally more troubles.
Bad people have no morals and will not stop because of Yu Nan's age. They will only become more rampant.
Yu Lin has lost count of how many strangers and even relatives and friends with ulterior motives he has secretly uncovered behind his back.
That is why Yu Lin strictly controls Yu Nan's social circle. Even if someone around him compliments Yu Nan for being cute, he will warn him.
Affected by the isolation of this vacuum environment, Yu Xi has never known what she looks like.
"If it was abroad..." Yu Lin gritted her teeth, wishing she could tear Tan Lan apart with her bare hands.
Yu Zhen was thinking whether she should take this opportunity to tell Yu Lin about Tan Lan's identity.
After all, the most urgent task now is to find Tan Lingqi. Having Tan Lan here all the time will affect Yu Zhen's search and it will also take time.
Besides... if Yu Lin helps him look for him, maybe they can leave this copy faster.
[Don't worry too much about cause and effect.]
System 08 finally found a chance to talk to Yu Zhen, [The infinite world is a completely independent dimension. Although your choices in this world will affect the future direction of this world, it will not affect the development of the infinite world. 】
【Besides, you can't be sure whether there was a "Yu Lan" in the past timeline who told Yu Lin about the future. 】
Yu Lan communicated with System 08 all the way, and after the system was forced offline again, Yu Lin finally took Yu Lan back home.
The two walked into the entrance one after another, and Yu Lin turned on the light with a "click".
"Brother," Yu Lan hesitated for a moment, and finally plucked up the courage to speak, "I have something to tell you."
.After
finishing the story, Yu Lin really began to frequently enter the infinite world and catch players named "Tan Lan" or "Qin Du".
What shocked Yu Lan was that at this time, Yu Lin had become the temple of the Judgment Hall and successfully ascended to the throne of God.
The news that "Qin Lingqi is also one of the nine gods" really shocked Yu Lin.
"Nine gods, to be precise, there are nine god positions," Yu Lin said, "These nine god positions have not been filled in the infinite world yet... Oh, maybe they are already full in your timeline."
"According to what I know now, there are probably seven god positions named after pride, jealousy, rage, laziness, greed, gluttony and lust, plus the main god and the evil god, a total of nine god positions."
At this point, Yu Lin's eyebrows sank, "So that Li Zhao, oh no, Tan Lan, is the god of greed, right?" "Then
what kind of god is Qin Lingqi?"
Yu Lin didn't know the answer to this question either, and could only listen to Yu Lin's analysis beside her in confusion.
Originally, Yu Xi thought that Yu Lin would soon be able to restrict Tan Lan's actions in the infinite world, but Tan Lan was much more powerful than they thought. For two months, Yu Lin couldn't even find his shadow.
In the real world, Tan Lan disappeared completely as if he had evaporated from the world. In
the past two months, Yu Xi has been waiting for news from Yu Lin every day, and by the way, she has continued to use various methods to find the whereabouts of Tan Lingqi, but there has been no progress.
What made Yu Xi even more worried was that he seemed to have forgotten something very important, and his heartbeat was violent.
This kind of life continued until the day before Yu Xi's 20th birthday.
"Tan Lan ran away."
Yu Lin's expression was grim. "I applied to the main system to restrict Tan Lan's authority. He has not had the opportunity to return to the real world during this period of time. I don't know what means he used today to make the main system lose its response and escape from the infinite world." As he spoke
, Yu Lin frowned more tightly and held Yu Lin's hand tightly. "Although it's not a big deal if he ran away...but I'm always uneasy. I feel, I feel like something is going to happen. thing."
The main system actually lost its response...
Yu Xi seemed to remember something, while recalling the message that System 08 had sent him at that time, she hurriedly asked Yu Lin, "The main system... does it have a number?"
He had never thought that the main system would be related to the player system, but based on the various loose behaviors of the main system towards him before, plus the main system that lost contact after he entered this copy, and the disappearance of Qin Lingqi, Yu Xi suddenly thought of a possibility as if she had suddenly realized something.
"It's System 00."
System 00, could it be Qin Lingqi's player system?
It was because of Qin Lingqi's physical problem that System 00, that is, the main system of the infinite world, also had problems?
Yu Xi felt dizzy, as if some memory was breaking out of the ground.
Without bothering to explain to Yu Lin, Yu Nu turned around and rushed out of the room.
"Where are you going!" Yu Lin quickly followed with her phone.
"Looking for Tan Lingqi!"
Where
on earth is Tan Lingqi?
Yu Nu stopped panting. The summer night was still hot and humid. Because she ran too fast, Yu Nu was covered in sweat. She supported her knees with her hands and gasped for breath.
Many passers-by passing by in the park noticed Yu Nu and cast vague glances at her.
Yu Lin had just separated from him at the fork in the road, and the two were heading in completely opposite directions.
His heart was beating too fast.
Yu Nu took a deep breath and her face turned red, but she couldn't slow down the frequency of her heartbeat.
What did he forget?
Someone was walking his dog on a leash in the park. A golden retriever that looked very similar to Maomao was wagging its tail and jumping around, occasionally jumping on its owner.
Maomao.
Oh, Maomao at that time...
Two blinding white lights flashed before his eyes, and Yu Nan's eyes suddenly widened.
He remembered.
He remembered how he died.
"Maomao!"
A golden figure leaped up from the air. Maomao had somehow broken free from the leash at home and chased Yu Nan all the way over. After noticing the danger around his owner, he ran over and tried his best to block the glass of the private car that was crashing straight into him.
[Warning.]
[The player system signal has been received, number: 08]
[The main system is activating...]
[The life risk value of the key target has reached 99%, and automatic protection has been activated. The
main system never interferes with the life and death of players.
But it is born to serve the evil god, and it must obey every order of the evil god unconditionally since its birth.
The most basic order given to him by the evil god, and the order that can never be violated, is "Always ensure the safety of the player's children."
The private car in front of him seemed to be firmly pressed in place by a pair of invisible big hands, and the car body that was rushing forward came to an abrupt stop.
Maomao stood in front of the car and barked.
With the help of the car lights, Yu Wei saw the unconscious face in the driver's seat.
——Tan Lan once again wanted to make him lose his memory and enter the infinite world in this way.
Yu Wei remembered everything.
In every timeline in the past, he had experienced such a cycle, and every time, without exception, he was hit and killed by Tan Lan's car, and then lost his memory and returned to the infinite world to start from the beginning.
[Hurry up and find Qin Lingqi. ]
System 08 urged, and sent a real-time coordinate.
[This is our last chance. ]
[If Qin Lingqi also chooses to split himself in exchange for your life in this timeline, there will be no chance for him to recover. 】
It is still unknown how Tan Lingqi, the evil god, was born. At present, we only know that as an evil god who was born with consciousness together with the infinite world, he has many abilities that ordinary people cannot imagine.
One of them is to change fate against the will of heaven.
Just as Yu Lin said before, according to Yu Xi's physical condition, it is a miracle to live to the age of twenty.
But Yu Xi is now almost twenty years old, and her physical condition is improving at a speed visible to the naked eye.
On the contrary, Tan Lingqi began to catch colds and get sick frequently.
Gods will not die, so after Tan Lingqi used his "life" to extend Yu Xi's life, he himself would split into various fragments in the infinite world, randomly falling in different corners and becoming NPCs or players.
It's just that he missed Tan Lan, who is also a god.
In each cycle, Tan Lan interrupted Qin Lingqi's life-changing behavior at a critical moment, causing a cycle in a strange way, and Qin Lingqi has been in a fragmented unconscious state.
System 08 in her ear explained to Yu Nuo at a rapid speed. Yu Nuo stared at the red coordinates in front of her, her palms sweating, and searched all the way.
There is a natural lake in the distance. Qin Lingqi and Yu Nuo liked to play hide-and-seek here when they were young.
Yu Nuo saw a familiar figure by the lake.
"Qin Lingqi!"
The figure by the lake turned his head, and Yu Nuo could see the obvious surprise on his face in the light.
Yu Nu ran over breathlessly, and seeing Qin Lingqi again made her angry and sad, "What are you doing standing here? I've been looking for you for a long time."
Qin Lingqi stared at Yu Nu, unable to speak for a long time, "...How did you find--"
"I also have a system, isn't it easy to find you?"
Qin Lingqi was even more shocked.
"What on earth--"
"You're so annoying," Yu Nu's temper exploded, "I'm standing here now, you don't have to jump into the lake."
Qin Lingqi was silent for a while, as if thinking about the complicated situation here.
[He is secretly asking his system now. ] System 08 secretly complained to Yu Nu.
Yu Nu looked at him with a frown, watching the expression on Qin Lingqi's face change from surprise to confusion to shock, and finally fixed on... moved?
"I'm sorry."
Qin Lingqi lowered his head slightly and said in a low voice.
Yu Niang became more righteous and raised her head, feeling that she had become a great man who saved the world. "I've been worried about you for a long time. You must repay me in the future. Do you know-"
"I like you, little Niang."
Qin Lingqi still lowered his head. "I, I... I have wanted to say this for a long time, but I..."
He rarely began to stutter. He said "I" for a long time but couldn't say what he meant.
Yu Niang was shocked by Qin Lingqi's sudden confession and blushed. Before she knew how to respond, her face was held and kissed.
And, she was bitten again.
Qin Lingqi kissed very hard, but it seemed that he was afraid of hurting Yu Niang's mouth, so he had to use all his strength on his arms. He wanted to crush Yu Niang in his arms.
Yu Xi was like a drunk, being taken advantage of stupidly, until someone touched her tongue and she suddenly woke up and pushed Qin Lingqi away.
"I'm sorry." Qin Lingqi's apology became more and more skillful.
Yu Xi wanted to scold him, but before she could say anything, she was shocked to see Qin Lingqi's eyes gradually moisten, staring at her stubbornly with red eyes.
"Why are you crying..."
"You won't kiss me."
"You can't, you can't just agree to it."
"..."
"Oh...you, don't cry."
"Then give me a kiss."
