Chapter 138: "The Ghosts and Gods" 14 I just want to be my brother's sister...

"This place is really going to collapse." I felt the pain only when the rocks hit my body.

Ye Chao had a bitter look on his face and found a triangular area that looked relatively safe to hide in.

The door was also sealed. I don't know how to solve the game.

"What should we do now?" Zhou Yang asked.

Xue Ming said: "President, don't worry, I will definitely break the door open for you."

"Wait a minute." A figure suddenly appeared and startled them all.

Qi Shiyu narrowed his eyes: "Oh? Mr. Joseph?"

Joseph glanced at him, looking dusty and exhausted, and he said, "Qi Shiyu."

"Oh, I wonder if you have seen Zhuci? Have you ever fought with him?" Qi Shiyu had met Joseph before.

"Here you go." Joseph handed him a star pendant with an ugly look on his face. "The blessing says that An An gave it to you."

"Hmm?" Even Qi Shiyu was a little confused at this moment. Zhuci, An'an, and Joseph? How could the three of them reach an agreement peacefully?

However, Joseph disappeared again.

"What is he doing here? Isn't it..." Ye Chao was excited for a moment, but soon the place started shaking even more severely, and he could also hear the horrifying sound of a lone wolf howling.

Xue Ming stretched out his hand, and the flames burned up the wall that was about to collapse on Zhou Yang. He smiled and asked Zhou Yang to take credit for it: "President, I..."

Zhou Yang said to Qi Shiyu: "Chairman Qi, stop watching the show. We are really going to die!"

Qi Shiyu looked at the amulet in his hand and suddenly his expression became solemn.

…

the other side.

Joseph also found Mo Yangbing's location.

"Here." He threw something to Mo Yangbing. His expression was very grumpy at the moment. He didn't know why he was running errands for Zhu Ci. Was it because he was grateful to him for unlocking the seal?

Sympathy for the dying, perhaps?

"What is this?"

The space on the other side is about to collapse, and the condition of the shady side, which is the opposite of the sunny side, will not be very good either.

Joseph glanced at him and sneered, "Zhu Ci said An An gave it to you, but I don't know who it was."

"Besides," he added helplessly, "at this moment you still don't know how to turn from the shadow side to the bright side, aren't you a little too stupid?"

Mo Yangbing glanced at him. Of course, this was not the reason. Ever since Zhu Ci took away all the wooden signs, he knew how to get out. But he didn't leave because of Qi Shiyu.

The positive side collapsed faster, Qi Shiyu said, let him wait for him here.

Joseph said, "I am dying of blessing. Forget it. I am too lazy to talk to you. I am leaving now."

…

Qi Shiyu asked: "Do you know that this underground palace has been sealed?"

"Nonsense." Ye Chao said unhappily.

"There is a way. If you can't go out as a human, then you can just become a ghost."

"ah?"

This is just not a solution.

"President Qi actually said that, so there must be a truth to it." Zhou Yang nodded in agreement.

There was no smile on Qi Shiyu's face.

In fact, from the moment he entered this copy, he knew that he could not make a 100% correct decision.

Because this instance had been prophesied, they all saw the end of death.

The only hope is actually the speech.

Can Zhuci take them out?

"Yoseph said Zhuci is dying." Mo Yangbing contacted him.

Qi Shiyu closed his eyes, smiled bitterly and said to these people: "What I mean is, if you can't get out alive, then get out dead."

If becoming a ghost was useful, there wouldn't be so many people trapped here after dying and unable to escape.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang..." The sound of someone smashing the door was heard.

"Hey, there is someone over there who defies fate and changes his destiny." Qi Shiyu shook his head.

This underground palace was built for suppression. Not even ghosts or people could get out. Moreover, according to common sense, if a riot occurred in a tomb, people outside would certainly try to suppress it and not let the people or ghosts inside have a chance to get out. Even the system's props could not break through the background restrictions of the copy.

They couldn't get out by teleporting, so they had to solve puzzles. Solving puzzles was possible, but due to the changes in the dungeon, they were at a loss.

Earthquakes and rubble are not factors that can really make it difficult for these people, but if the gaps are blocked and there is a lack of oxygen, that would be a real death sentence.

Oh, I forgot to mention that no one knew where those ghosts had gone, and no one knew when they would suddenly appear and give them a blow.

"Qi Shiyu, what are you thinking of now?"

Qi Shiyu smiled slightly: "I don't have any ideas. Why don't we go find Zhuci? Maybe he has some ideas."

If you want to find the blessing speech, you have to go deep into the underground palace.

The danger of this place is obvious at a glance, but if you look further out, it is unknown.

…

The lonely soul is constantly wandering, but the body is as heavy as a rock.

Evil thoughts roam in my mind.

Zhuci's groggy brain was already finding it difficult to remain calm.

Two roads stretched out before his eyes, one of which was covered in white snow. The snow was fluttering everywhere, and he could vaguely see a person standing in the distance.

The other road was pitch black.

"Congratulations. I'm so glad to see you at this time."

Suddenly, a light came on on the dark road, and under the light was a familiar face.

An An.

While Zhu Ci was stunned, she had already walked over.

"It turns out that the end of my trial is you. Congratulations, thank you. In this way, there is still someone who can help me convey my wish."

The girl smiled brightly, but the regret in her eyes was hard to conceal.

I don't know why she suddenly felt regretful, but Zhuci now knew that the person she wanted to see most was not him.

"In the previous timeline, you probably haven't gotten that power yet. But it's okay, I'll help you."

"An An, what did you say?" Another timeline?

Zhu Ci frowned, not understanding what she was saying.

"This world is balanced. From the day I entered this game, a voice told me that I could obtain a godly position without doing anything." Mo An'an smiled and lowered his head, "Because they think that my desire to live and die for protection is very strong."

"But I refused. I just wanted to be with my brother. But no matter how hard I tried, my brother would die in front of me again and again... me." Mo Anan choked up in his throat, his expression forbearing.

She looked as if she was about to say goodbye, which made Zhuci confused and a little reluctant.

"Is he dead too?" Mo Yangbing should still be alive.

Mo Anan nodded, but didn't say much. He said to Zhu Ci: "In fact, I was the one who entered this game earlier before. This time, I deliberately tried to avoid the opportunity to enter the game, but my brother still entered it."

The amount of information was too much, Zhu Ci couldn't help but digest it. Mo Anan knew everything?

Why is he the only one who doesn't know, why do others know everything?

Mo Anan smiled slightly, and looked at Zhu Ci with tears and light in her eyes: "I'm sorry for lying to you."

"I have met you many, many times, but you are different every time. At the beginning, you were silent and taciturn, just doing your tasks and never talking to others. Later, you gradually became like this." Mo Anan lowered his eyes, filled with emotion.

"Thank you for being willing to lend us a hand this time. Thank you to those who keep changing you. Those who change you must be very patient and love you very much."

Zhu Ci was about to speak, but he saw her shaking her head. He could only choose to shut up and not interrupt her.

"At first I didn't know why it kept happening again and again. I thought God had given me the chance to save my brother. But when he died in front of me again and again, I finally understood."

"It turns out that my mission was already predetermined." Mo An'an narrowed her eyes, tears welling up in her eyes. For a moment, her eyes were no longer gentle, but firm and resolute. "But I changed his experience and met President Qi. In addition to changing my own destiny, I can also change the destiny of others."

"Zhu Ci, it's not easy to melt a piece of ice like this. It has happened so many times. I don't know who is as obsessed as I am, but as an outsider, I hope I can give you a gift as a blessing to those who resist fate." Mo Anan looked at Zhu Ci.

She has failed, but hopes that others can succeed.

Seeing that sad and kind smile, Zhu Ci felt a mixture of emotions. He had a feeling that he would never see An An again.

"I will use my chance to become a god to remove your curse. Be a thoughtful person. Next time, don't stand alone in the snow and reject everyone."

Mo Anan said with a smile.

“Cry for things that really make you sad, and be moved by the people you love, rather than just being moved to accept it.”

At that moment, a warm and gentle light burst out from Mo Anan's body. Zhu Ci's eyes were stung but he did not look away.

He couldn't stop feeling sad, and tears were welling up in his eyes.

This feeling is very strange, as if it shouldn't belong to him, what is this?

"I wish that my body will perish, but my soul will be eternal, so that I can protect my brother, come and go freely, be happy, have everything go well, and be healthy and at ease. I also hope that all those who resist fate in this game can get what they want."

Mo Anan's face gradually became blurred. Compared to a concrete person, her expanded radiance made her more like a god in the hallucination of a person who had reached a desperate situation.

Her voice changed from a gentle girl's to an ethereal one, as if it were an illusion.

The smile also changed from bitter to holy and bright.

She is no longer the underage girl who her brother expected to go to college, escape from this game, and have a bright future.

“I hope that humanity will never be extinguished and the light of kindness will shine forever.”

"And a congratulations, to obtain your true happiness."

She became a symbol of prayer for the happiness of all living beings, and gave her last bit of selfishness to the speech.

Zhu Ci held the amulet that Mo Anan left for him. His eyes were blurred by tears. He should have felt sad, but his chest felt warm instead, so warm that he wanted to cry.

…

Memories from another line flashed through his mind.

It was the gentle but dignified face of Mo Anan when she grew up. At that time, she had become a person who could stand on her own feet, and many people trusted her.

"Zhuci, according to the information left by the couple who gave birth to you, they should think that the most suitable person to become a god is the one who abandons all emotions and walks to a dead end. But I don't think so. People should live for their own love and hope, not for others."

"So, as a temporary teammate, I hope you can fight back." The grown-up girl encouraged him softly.

As a person with a destiny opposite to Zhuci's, the woman who should have obeyed the guidance of the game and concealed her edge to have the destiny that others wanted, she fought against her own destiny and tried to protect her brother with a sharp blade.

Anyone who advises others to fight against their fate has actually already shouldered the thorns.

But...she failed.

"I don't want to become a god. I want my brother to see me every day, go shopping with me, and look at the normal sky. I don't want him to be lonely. But I hope he can survive even more."

She couldn't do it anymore.

After many failures and her brother’s death in front of her, Mo Anan began to be afraid. She was afraid that her burning hope would be extinguished and she would not be able to hold on to even the last hope.

So this time she disguised herself as an ignorant little girl again and returned to her most original and genuine love.

She was forced to take that position, as the god of love and hope, and could no longer have anything to do with the human world. Only in this way could the passionate love last long, frozen in the moment of despair and hope.

The speeches in many previous timelines were unable to understand her obsession.

Although he does not live for himself but lives like a controlled machine, he does not understand people's complex emotions, loyalty, and trust.

Those who did not understand love finally got lost in the snow, but they were forever alone, waiting for a balanced destiny.

And now, the person who truly understood what she wanted to live for shared some of her great love with this speech.

Maybe it's because only the current speech can make her understand a little more.

People who have never been loved by their parents or the world will subconsciously retreat and resist when they encounter true love.

Mo Anan and Mo Yangbing are siblings who protect each other. Like Zhu Ci, they have no parents and the world treats them poorly, but their desire to protect each other is so firm and precious.

Mo Anan, who seems gentle and weak, has experienced so many shattered hopes, but she is still able to stick to her original intention.

What reason do others have to back off?

…

Another path was lit.

Zhu Ci stood at the fork in the road and looked at the snow-covered world.

He sighed.

There was a strong feeling that if he had chosen another path, the other him would have disappeared.

“It won’t disappear.”

The puppet suddenly appeared in Zhuci's hand.

"He is you. You will only merge, not disappear. You will be able to see that girl again."

"Zhou Nian? Why are you here?"

"Because this is the turning point of fate, it is related to me, so of course I am here. The child named Mo An'an communicated her fate with you. Once one of you is about to die, she will come here and save you. So, you are saved."

Zhu Ci was stunned: "I am going to die?"

"Yes, the power you inhaled is too great, and you will soon explode and die. But fortunately, your physique is suitable for becoming a god, otherwise you would have died long ago." Zhou Nian said.

"Then, will I disappear too?" Zhu Ci asked. It was hard to describe the expression on his face, hesitant and lost.

"Did you still have obsessions before you disappeared?" Zhou Nian suddenly laughed strangely.

"Yes, yes." Zhu Ci nodded. His eyes were sore and his throat was a little blocked.

"Who do you want to say goodbye to?"

"I want to... meet him." Zhuci said.

How could I forget?

When he was alone before, Shen Wu suddenly appeared and took care of him meticulously. Not only was he very tolerant of him, he also said that he would give him back his lost childhood.

Zhuci suddenly flashed some fragments in his mind.

The building Xing Boyi arranged for him to live in... that courtyard. He had been there when he was young.

But why was he left outside to grow up?

Yes, Meng Yuanzhou told him that someone once broke in alone and blew up a building.

Shen Wu, Shen Wu, you have actually been waiting for me to grow up, right? Why? You can tell him directly, tell him everything. I am not so unreasonable, I will listen to you.

"Why are you crying so hard? There's no paper here. Oh, by the way." Zhou Nian said with a smile, "You can tell me what you want to say. I can go anywhere and will definitely tell him for you."

Zhu Ci gave him an unpleasant look.

"You have to make a choice soon. I am your only chance."

"I won't disappear. I will go back to find him." Zhu Ci said firmly.

"Eh? Wait a minute. You must not be too anxious to be with him. Oh, okay, okay, I can't stand you anymore. To tell you the truth, if you continue on this path, you will gradually recover the power and ability that you should have obtained, but you have to hide it first, understand?"

"That guy Shen Wu made a deal with the game. He was never a good person. You don't need to feel too guilty. He's just a guy who played with people's feelings and got angry out of shame. But your real enemy is this game." Zhou Nian's voice was still coming over continuously.

"Originally, this was just a tool to select some people from the human race to restore order in order to maintain the harmonious balance of the world. However, this tool developed its own will, dragging many innocent people into it, causing frequent disasters in the real world."

"Don't blame anyone. Their intentions are good, and your and my mission is to restore order. But this guy Shen Wu... is our real enemy. Our mission was about to be completed, but he had to go back and forth. Sigh... Now, maybe he will surrender if you just give him a wink." Zhou Nian said half-jokingly.

Zhu Ci frowned and said angrily, "Shut up."

"That little girl is really amazing. She made your expression so rich. Hey, wait, don't throw me away. I'm serious. I have a way to have the best of both worlds."

After hearing him talk about the solution, Zhu Ci put down his raised hand.

"What?"

"You must keep it a secret from him, because if he knows, the game will know too, and the person the game wants to kill the most is you. Remember, I will take you to a copy where only your soul cannot be contracted by the game, to find an item. The King's letter." Zhou Nian said, "That item can restrain the contract level of the game. You will find out more specifically when you recover your memory later. If someone tells you another name for this item, please find it according to what I say."

"Greetings."

Without waiting for a reply, Zhou Nian's voice suddenly became serious and solemn.

"Thank you for your hard work. I have a feeling that this will be our last and closest chance to success."

Hear this sentence.

Zhu Ci's heart suddenly sank, and all the troubles disappeared.
