Chapter 159 Why do I have you in my eyes? I can't answer, Vice...

How did everything begin?

…

In the beginning, there were indeed mermaids in the sea. The ocean gave birth to life, and creatures with human bodies and fish tails moved into this underwater palace that had always existed.

After a long journey, the boy returned home and saw that his house had been occupied.

"Who are you?" asked a mermaid.

The boy waved his hands: "Then this is your home now."

"Are you the god of the sea?"

"I am not. I have never seen a god in this world."

When order is lost and civilization collapses, the truth of the world will be reshaped again and again.

However, when new life is born, it tries to use supernatural power to solve things that it cannot understand. It prays and imagines that there is a God in this world.

However, the only ones who can save people are humans themselves.

The game was originally a medal used by ancient tribes to reward warriors. After the warriors died, their spirits lived on, and humans offered incense and worshipped them as gods.

Later this tradition gradually evolved into a rule.

People in the world pursue objects too deeply, often fighting for them with blood and sin, to the point that the objects have spirits and are gradually blinded by blood and greed.

There is only one witness to everything, a boy forgotten by time, who perhaps still has a destiny.

"I want to die." He said, but he was the only one in the world who still remembered the spell that could restart the world.

So bored that he lost all his memories and picked up a child.

Anno comes from that time of famine.

The farmers had no harvest, and every household had to trade their children for food.

As a girl, Annuo almost died at birth.

At that time Shen Wu had lost his memory, but because of his magical abilities, strange clothes and face, he was still worshipped as a god in the mountains.

The offering he received that day was from a child.

It was Shen Wu's first time raising a child. She had no knowledge and no patience, so she turned An Nuo into a little irritable girl who fought and killed every day. Shen Wu was too lazy to care about her and just let her do what she wanted.

However, when they met again, she had still gotten into trouble. In order to save a little boy who was mistaken for a monster because of his transparent white skin, she was caught by the villagers and bled.

"Aren't you a god? Why... did you come just now?" She said this with tears in her eyes but a stubborn expression.

Shen Wu was stunned.

What is God? He never thought about whether he was God or not, even though so many people thought he was God.

It would be great if he really was like that, then he wouldn't be confused about where he came from and where he was going.

However, the gears of fate began to turn, and that moment actually became the opportunity for him to follow Annuo into the game.

【Know your wish: know where you come from and where you are going. 】

…

"Zhuci, you are so determined to kill me. Are you trying to destroy the game? Is this your wish or someone else's? Do you know where you come from?"

Zhuci's appearance definitely caught the game off guard. Shen Wu was also very surprised that with human intelligence, such a freak could be born.

Can a person still be considered a human being if he is free from emotions?

Zhu Ci did not respond to his interest. His eyes were clear, not dull like a machine, nor confused like being deceived by someone. He knew clearly what he was doing and why he was doing it.

"But you can't answer it either." Shen Wu said.

It didn't seem to make sense to say these things to an enemy who was ready to fight to the death the first time we met.

However, he was unexpectedly excited because the speech was similar to and opposite to his.

Zhu Ci doesn't care where he comes from or where he's going. Under his cold appearance, perhaps he's actually the same as him, tired of this world and doesn't care.

Is there really a God in this world?

They all said he was, but Shen Wu felt that Zhuci was the most similar.

He is a complete person, born for humanity, died for humanity, ruthless and without desire, a definition that helps the world.

He is the real God, and God was born from man’s will.

…

And now.

Shen Wu: Thanks to the game for making my wish come true.

…

The game will not disappear because it has been merged with the rules for too long. Moreover, there is still a vacant throne and its original function has not yet ended.

However, Shen Wu regained control of the core in the end and destroyed Yugi's will.

With a slight modification, we can reduce the number of people pulled in, make sure that those who die in the game are just eliminated instead of actually dead, and make sure that people in reality forget their memories in the game, so that they think it was just a dream.

…

"Why don't you believe me?"

Zhu Ci was silent for a while: "How could I not believe you?" It was because he believed in you that he took the risk.

"Didn't I tell you to wait for me?" Shen Wu pressed Zhu Ci's shoulder and stared into his eyes. "What if he destroys your soul directly?"

“The possibility is very low.”

"Why is it so low? You..."

"Okay, I believe you won't let me die, okay?" Zhu Ci sighed. He was not good at refutation of these things, and Shen Wu's plan was full of loopholes in his opinion, but he simply didn't ask.

"I'm not happy." He turned his face away and said in a cold tone.

Zhu Ci: “…” Although there is a suspicion that he almost beat him to death, it can’t be entirely blamed on him.

"Okay, okay, what do you want to do?" Zhu Ci frowned and sighed.

Shen Wu chuckled, and when he looked at Zhuci again, an ambiguous light flashed in his eyes.

"Sometimes I dream about you hitting me. It's really dangerous, honey."

From the moment his tone changed, Zhu Ci had a bad feeling.

"So...what do you want to do?"

"Of course. I'm more curious about what will happen if you lose?" Shen Wu gently lifted Zhu Ci's chin.

Lost?

I haven’t thought about the speech yet.

"Aren't you curious about how I will treat you?"

Under his guidance, Zhu Ci actually recalled the place where they had fought before.

By that time he had discovered the exact location of the game, and Shen Wu was on a huge white marble aerial platform outside, a platform that was larger than a central square. Tall and holy statues stood around it, some of which were majestic without even being angry, while others were weeping in sorrow, with all kinds of magical instruments hanging from their hands.

Shen Wu was sitting on the throne in the center, with countless chains hanging on both sides like decorations.

"Won't he just kill him directly?" Zhu Ci asked.

This was the outcome his meager imagination could conceive of.

It's a life-and-death struggle, that's about it.

"Killing you, wouldn't that be too easy for you?"

Zhu Ci was suddenly pushed to sit on the bed.

He tried to stand up, but his shoulders were held down, so he could only raise his head and look up at Shen Wu.

"A disobedient and troublesome child like you should at least be tied up and tortured for a few days."

Zhu Ci swallowed his saliva and said, "Haha."

He roughly understood what he was going to do, but now he could only smile bitterly to express his reluctance.

"Your hands will be hung up and your feet will not be able to touch the ground..."

Zhu Ci watched as the clasp on the bracelet was knocked open and blood began to wrap around his body. He completely lost his balance and fell backwards.

Shen Wu's aggressive eyes followed him closely.

…

In fact, he was not 100% sure at first that if they started fighting and both of them were determined to kill him, he would be able to escape unscathed, so the possibility of failure was also very high.

If I really lose, the worst that can happen is that I die, but what if I don’t die?

So for that person who does not understand love and hate, being forced to open the door to a new world little by little might be difficult to accept.

…

“…”

His snow-white limbs were covered with shackles, but Zhu Ci's cold eyes still reflected nothing, even though his failure was obvious and the person who defeated him was standing right in front of him.

He was forced to raise his head and look him in the face. Zhu Ci was so calm, as if he was not a loser.

"You have beautiful eyes." Shen Wu praised.

"The only pity is that I'm not included." He placed his hand on the collar of the speech.

Zhuci's gaze was like an unpolished mirror, which gradually reflected the human figure after subsequent processing.

He looked at Shen Wu, his eyes and brows were far from the coldness he had before.

…

"Why..." The boy's voice was hoarse, perhaps because he had not spoken for a long time, or perhaps because he had exhausted all his strength.

His confusion was real.

"Why does it have to be you?"

The chain made a clanking sound. It was the sound of the boy struggling.

Zhuci is obviously not someone who gives up easily. As long as he survives, he still has a chance to resist.

"Oh, that's a good question. You're so smart, you should be able to figure it out yourself, right?" The person whose sword you were facing bit your ear, and the other person's words were like a heavenly book, pouring into your already muddled brain. "Until you tell me the answer, this copy will not stop."

Zhuci seemed to have heard something incredible, his pupils suddenly widened and his lips were clenched.

But perhaps it was too difficult, and someone would not allow him to keep silent, so Zhu Ci could not help but show weakness.

"Any...hints?"

"That's not enough? Haven't I been giving it to you all the time?"

Zhu Ci closed his eyes, but he no longer had the strength to refute. After a long while, he weakly cursed, "You're crazy."

"You answered wrong. You're a bad kid. Do you know the punishment for failing the mission? It will be very painful. Do you want to guess again?"

There were some crystal beads on Zhu Ci's eyelashes. Hearing the words, she raised her eyes and glanced at him. It was a look of weakness and doubt, and confusion because she really didn't know the reason.

What is the answer? Can I really leave if I answer correctly?

He naturally didn't know that for his opponents, this could only serve as a stimulant during combat.

"..." Zhu Ci's wrist had a circle of red marks. His fingers hooked the chain, looking for a point of force and a way to break it, so that he didn't need to find any correct answer. The chain made a louder sound because of his strength, which also reminded the people in front of him of the prisoner's thoughts.

Zhu Ci certainly realized that such questioning was meaningless and was entirely out of the other party's bad taste. After a while, when he realized that there was no possibility of escape, his tone unconsciously took on a hint of pity.

"Killed... ahem, me."

But the other party's next words made Zhuji's brain buzz completely.

"Oh~ Not yet. You know, people like us like to see survivors who have no way to escape and suffer the consequences of their own actions. Besides, you have never seen a real prison and have never been tortured. Surrendering without permission and giving up halfway is not a good habit."
