Chapter 278 Two Options Given by Nashu
[It is detected that the health of the final world boss has reached zero. The world boss battle ends here. Congratulations to all players, you have won this planet. 】
[The overall effect is being tested. Based on the overall value played by all players in this battle, the best effect in this world boss battle has been determined. ]
[NO.1——Anson Lu (former chess player)★MVP]
[The MVP of the World Boss Battle is the 18-year-old youth "Anson Lu" from China. As the world's number one player, he will have a chance to meet the game developer.]
Anson Lu remained silent, and the system prompts kept ringing in his ears.
[Tip: You will be teleported to the location of the "game developer" in ten minutes, please prepare in advance. ]
Just ten minutes...
In ten minutes, I'll see the bastard who ruined the world like this...
Yuri, wait for me.
Anson Deer took a deep breath of air, the smell of tobacco piercing his throat.
He looked up at the sky.
After a long night, dawn comes, and the light of dawn shines into the world through the gaps in the clouds, like a beam of dim sunlight shining into the dead sea.
Anson Lu lowered his head and looked at the principal's back. The old man clicked open his lighter and lit another cigarette for himself.
Ansenlu hugged her shoulders and looked at them quietly without saying a word.
[There are still two minutes until the "Gate of the Future" is completely closed. ]
The principal hissed a puff of cigarette, turned his head, looked at Anson Deer, and said, "I'm almost going back."
"Explain?"
"I messed up the past and violated the 'Time Code', so I was thrown into the time crack."
The principal said this with self-mockery, looking up at the deep blue door of light.
"The function of the Gate of the Future is just to temporarily pull me out of the time rift, but I have to go back eventually."
Anson Lu scratched his nose and said in a trembling voice: "Only two minutes left, you're going back?"
"Yes," the principal shrugged and refused to deny it. "To be precise, there is only one minute left."
"What are you going to do next?"
"What else can I do? I have to wait for death in this broken, cyclical time." The principal took another puff of his cigarette. "Don't pity me. This is my own fault."
Anson Lu lowered his eyes and said deeply: "In fact, I have always, always admired you, even if you say you are a loser."
"You don't want to learn from the good, but learn from a scum like me, you little bastard."
The principal smiled, with wrinkles at the corners of his eyes: "I enjoy every game of chess with you. It has been many years... many years since I met an opponent."
Sistolia pulled his sleeve and whispered, "Chess player, we are leaving."
The principal looked up and glanced at the door to the future: "Well, it's time to go."
"Goodbye, old principal." Anson Lu forced a smile.
"Goodbye, brat."
Sisdoriya covered her mouth and smiled playfully: "Don't cry when you go back, chess player, you are already very old."
"You're so noisy. I'll throw away this chess piece of yours when I get home." The principal put out his cigarette and sighed.
Sisdoriya put his hands behind his back and smiled happily: "If you abandon me, who will stay with you in that lonely place?"
As the last sentence fell, the door to the future suddenly closed, the old man and the girl left, and their figures gradually stepped into the deep blue door.
Like death row inmates walking toward the guillotine, the two men's backs did not show any hesitation; on the contrary, there was a sense of relief.
【The door to the future is closed. 】
[There are still five minutes until the Anubis Gate closes. ]
Anson Lu turned his head and looked at Anson Lu.
"You're leaving too," he whispered.
Ansen Lu hugged his shoulders, looked away, and said coldly: "I'm still wondering if I disturbed you?"
"No, I just kept thinking, could I finally say goodbye to that old man? I didn't expect it to happen."
"Yeah, your eyes are red, you crybaby chess player."
"Tell me, how many videos of me have you watched using that 'trans-temporal observation'?" Anson Lu was speechless.
"Isn't this mutual?" An Senlu's mouth curled up slightly.
"Yes, yes, yes. Aren't you tired of standing?"
The two of them sat on top of a tall ruin, looking out at the horribly destroyed Tokyo, which was now covered with desolate craters like the surface of the moon.
At this moment, the sun slowly rose from one end of the horizon, the dawn light sprinkled on the vast wasteland, and the pale yellow halo enveloped their cheeks.
"What are you going to do when you go back?" Anson Lu asked.
"Waiting to die." Ansenlu said without hesitation, "I didn't draw the 'Sisdoriya'. Like you, I can't travel through time."
"Only death..."
"This is also my retribution. In fact, since I saw that side of you a long time ago, I have been thinking..." Ansen Lu turned her face away and said coldly:
"It's better not to stay in such a world. Just destroy it. It's impossible for me to atone for my sins like that principal did."
The girl's long black hair fluttered in the wind. She remained so cold and strong until her death, as if she would never show a trace of weakness.
"Then I'll let you do whatever you want..."
Anson Lu sighed deeply:
"You are such a devil. Your actions are even more extreme than the principal's. I thought you would change your ways like him, but I didn't expect you to choose this path in the end."
"I am who I am. Don't compare me to that principal."
"Sorry, sorry." Anson Lu quickly gave in, fearing that this female devil would stab him again before she died.
An Senlu hugged his shoulders and asked in a low voice: "In your heart, am I just the 'projection of the young principal', not an individual?"
"You are you." Anson Lu said, "Maybe I thought of you as the principal before, after all, your experiences are exactly the same, but now it has changed."
"That's good."
"Don't you feel any regret? Going back to that messed up world and watching that dragon destroy everything?"
"My only wish is to see you again before I die." Ansen Lu hugged her knees, lowered her cold eyes, and said softly:
“Well, now it has been accomplished.”
Anson Lu's eyes suddenly turned red, and he whispered, "Thank you. If you hadn't come, I might have given up and wouldn't have made it to the last moment."
"Don't thank me, I did this for myself."
"Thank you, too."
"Are you an idiot?"
Anson Lu tilted her cheek, a smile bloomed on the corner of her mouth, she stood up and stepped on the ruins of Tokyo Tower.
"Goodbye, Anson Deer."
"Goodbye, Lu." Anson Lu waved to her.
Ansen Lu suddenly looked back, the pale yellow dawn light sprinkled on her profile, and her golden hair fluttered in the wind.
"Anson Deer, you are my only friend."
Anson Deer opened his mouth and wanted to say something.
However, the Gate of Anubis closed at this moment, and with a "bang", the girl in school uniform disappeared.
As if it had never existed.
Anson Lu was the only one left on the desolate and charred land. He lowered his dark brown eyes, and there was still a hint of Anson Lu's scent in the air.
He slowly raised his head and looked at the sun rising from the horizon.
After a long, long time, Anson Deer stood up, dusted himself off, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Well, it's time to go meet that jerk developer."
[Upgrade: The countdown has ended, and you will be teleported to the location of the "game developer". ]
Anson Deer opened his eyes.
What came into view was a floating palace. The clouds were close at hand and the sun seemed within reach. Flocks of white birds were circling in the sky, scattering their hazy feathers. The afterglow of dusk brushed his cheeks.
There was a red carpet on the floor of the palace, and at the end was a throne. On the throne sat a boy with deep eyes, wearing a white hospital gown.
"Nashu."
Anson Deer pronounced his name.
"Long time no see, since that myth copy." Nashu smiled, "Ah, I'm really not cut out to play the role of a teacher, and I can't manage you students well."
"So, you know why I'm here." Anson Deer walked towards him.
"What do you want? Resurrect everyone? Everyone who died?"
"That's right. The purpose of your opening the Evolution Game is for selection. This 'selection phase' should have been completed by now."
"You are very smart. You are worthy of being the one I chose from the billions of people on this planet."
"Will you promise me?" Anson Deer said, "Let them all live, and then I will follow you."
"Don't worry, I will certainly agree to your request. After all, I am not a bad person." Nashu said, "But it's too early for you to follow me."
"What's the meaning?"
"I will conduct a second round of selection, but it will have nothing to do with you. From now on, you just need to live peacefully on this earth."
"It has nothing to do with me, and I don't care." Anson Lu said, "I just need you to return my companions and everyone around me now."
"Well, you are really interesting." Nashu held his chin with a smile, "You really have an interesting quality."
"Finally, I want to ask a question, who are you?"
"The answer to this question will be revealed one day." Nashu said slowly, "At that time, I will bring the other chosen people to see you."
Anson Lu was silent for a long time. "Will you come up with something like the 'Evolution Game' in the future?"
"Maybe." Nashu smiled faintly: "Well, I will give you two options now, please choose between them."
"What options?"
"In the first option, all those who died in the Evolution Game will come back, and then the Evolution Game will start the second round." Nashu said, "They will regard you as a savior hero, and you will lead the human beings of this planet to move forward with supreme glory."
"What about the second option?"
"The second option is to go back to half a year ago, before the evolution game started. At that time, you were still an ordinary senior high school student. No one would remember what you had done for them. The principal would also be completely dead. All traces of him in this world would be wiped out. The Titanic incident would no longer have anything to do with him. Jack the Ripper was just a clown who died in an accident."
"So, are the others still here?"
"Of course, everyone you care about was still alive six months ago." Nashu paused and emphasized:
"They are all alive and well, but they have lost their abilities as players. They are just ordinary beings like you."
Anson Deer suddenly laughed.
“Do I even need to choose?”
"Then please make a choice." Nashu looked at him, "Be a savior hero, or be an unknown ordinary person."
"I choose the second one."
"Everything is as you wish."
