Chapter 128 The Mechanical Era (End) Players gain "Permanent Exit from the Game..."
Eve hadn't seen Mo Rugui for several days.
Mo Rugui hadn't contacted her since the banquet ended, but they still kept in touch. She didn't miss any of Mo Rugui's and Shi Yu's video conferences every few days, and she would also video call Mo Rugui from time to time.
Everything is normal.
But I just can't get him to come out.
"Would you blink if you were being kidnapped?"
During the video call that day, Eve said this in a sweet and lovely voice. She twirled the chainsaw in her hand and then carried it on her back, as if she were about to rush to the Palace of Dessades to save people in the blink of an eye.
But Mo Rugui managed to keep his eyes completely still for a full minute.
Eve: "..."
She put down the chainsaw in frustration.
Okay, she understands.
It's a case of one person willing to give and the other willing to receive.
After that, Eve stopped video calling Mo Rugui, stopped going out to do good deeds, and even stopped participating in their meetings. Anyway, someone else was taking care of it, and Mo Rugui had already taken down the big boss in the dungeon.
I will definitely pass the game; it's just a matter of time.
She simply lay down flat!
.
Shi Yu and Shen Su were also half-lying down.
The reason was their recent phone call with Mo Rugui, who seemed to have found a solution from Jiang Liuyue, but he asked them to give him a month.
Although they didn't give a specific reason, they weren't in a hurry and agreed.
A month has passed quickly.
Almost without warning, on the day the deadline arrived, the world suddenly descended into chaos.
A crack appeared in the sky, revealing an intense, impenetrable blackness within. The crack widened, gradually covering the clear sky with inky darkness, and the houses, villages, and cities shrouded in darkness vanished instantly.
The black gap gradually widened, spreading from the suburbs to the city, followed by a deathly silence after a series of screams.
Even the Desa Palace, where the leaders resided, could not escape this catastrophe.
The only thing unaffected was the small island where the sun was set.
Rewind to 8 a.m. on that day, before the black gap appeared.
Jiang Liuyue got out of bed very quietly. Mo Rugui, who was beside him, was still fast asleep, which was unusual. Usually, Mo Rugui would wake up first every morning, while he would stay in bed a little longer.
He took a shower, put on his bathrobe, and came back. Mo Rugui had just woken up and was surprised to see him by the bedside. "So early?"
Mo Rugui got up and went into the bathroom. Jiang Liuyue followed him in. He picked up a toothbrush, and Jiang Liuyue squeezed toothpaste onto it for him. After he washed his face, Jiang Liuyue handed him a wrung-out towel. After he dried his face, he saw Jiang Liuyue leaning against the door frame, watching him.
That look in his eyes is hard to describe.
It was indifferent, devoid of any emotion, yet so profound that it seemed to imprint everything before it.
"What's wrong with you?" Mo Rugui asked.
Jiang Liuyue laughed, her posture unchanged, and joked, "Don't we look like an old married couple?"
"ill!"
Mo Rugui threw the towel at Jiang Liuyue and walked out.
He didn't know that the smile on Jiang Liuyue's lips disappeared after he left.
Jiang Liuyue glanced back at Mo Rugui, then turned around and hung the towel back up.
Even though I know that no one will ever use this towel again.
Mo Rugui went into the kitchen to make breakfast.
Although the leader was surrounded by star chefs, Mo Rugui didn't like those flavors and preferred to cook for himself. So Jiang Liuyue happily ate another breakfast made by Mo Rugui.
Although the fried egg wasn't heart-shaped, the bread wasn't toasted crispy, and the milk was a bit too sweet... he still liked it very much.
After the two had breakfast, Jiang Liuyue handed a list to Mo Rugui.
Mo Rugui was puzzled.
"They are all players who signed contracts to become NPCs."
Jiang Liuyue's casual remark stirred up a huge wave of discussion.
"Why didn't you say so sooner?" Mo Rugui was so excited he almost stood up. "Where are they?"
“They all work at the Desa Palace.” Jiang Liuyue took a sip of milk before slowly speaking, “I have already terminated their contracts, so you can take them away then.”
At that moment, a commotion arose outside the door.
Someone came in and reported: "Your Excellency, the guards wish to see you."
Mo Rugui followed Jiang Liuyue out to the reception room. A group of guards holding contracts surrounded them, but they did not mean to offend them; they just looked puzzled.
"Sir, why is this?"
"Sir, why are you terminating the contract with us? Is there something we did wrong? We can change!"
"We don't want to terminate our contract with you, nor do we want to leave here. We are willing to follow you for the rest of our lives. Please do not terminate our contract!"
Everyone knelt down and said in unison:
Please do not terminate the contract with us!
Please do not terminate the contract with us!
Please do not terminate the contract with us!
...
Mo Rugui's expression at that moment was indescribable. Jiang Liuyue whispered in his ear, "Do you think they were threatened into staying here?"
Mo Rugui did not answer, which was taken as tacit agreement.
"What's the difference between false and real? Not everyone can tell the difference as clearly as you do. Most people just want to live a better life."
Jiang Liuyue's voice floated softly in her ears, and Mo Rugui felt as if she had only met him today.
"As long as life is good, what does it matter if it's real or fake?"
Jiang Liuyue stepped forward and sighed to everyone, "If I could, I would also like to give you all this kind of life for the rest of your lives, but sometimes I have no choice..."
As he finished speaking, he looked out at the sky through the floor-to-ceiling window.
A crack was faintly visible there.
“It’s no longer safe here.” Jiang Liuyue turned her gaze away and said seriously to Mo Rugui, “Send Chen Su and the others over here, and be quick.”
The world collapsed, and the only safe place was Shen Su's small island. Shen Su teleported all the players on the list to the island to wait for the game to end.
At this moment, the black cracks have already covered half the sky, and soon the Palace of Desa will also be swallowed up.
In the end, only Mo Rugui, Jiang Liuyue, Eve, Shi Yu, and Shen Su remained.
Shen Su opened the last teleportation array.
"Let's go." Mo Rugui naturally took Jiang Liuyue's hand and walked forward. "For the sake of saving so many players, I forgive you for what happened before."
This was the first time in a month that he had taken the initiative to hold Jiang Liuyue's hand.
Jiang Liuyue, however, did not move.
"I can't get in..."
Jiang Liuyue softly uttered four words.
Mo Rugui was immediately enraged: "What do you mean you can't get in? Does that mean you can't go to the other side's camp just because you're on opposing sides in the instance? You come with me! I'll take you there!"
Jiang Liuyue broke free from Mo Rugui's hand and stood alone in place: "They guessed right before. I am indeed no longer human. To put it idealistically, I am a lingering obsession of Jiang Liuyue. To put it materialistically, I am just a bunch of data. I can't even be called alive. In this state, I am part of the instance. When the instance collapses, I will disappear along with it."
When Jiang Liuyue first told him, "He will die if he destroys the instance," it turned out he wasn't joking.
"What nonsense are you spouting!" Mo Rugui seemed unable to accept this fact. He raised his hand to pull Jiang Liuyue again, "Come with me quickly, or it will be too late."
Jiang Liuyue took two steps back to avoid his hand, smiled helplessly at him, and said, "I only wanted to see you one more time, but I not only saw you, but also had a month of happy time with you. I am very satisfied."
"Brother Mo, I've never been easily satisfied. I'm very ambitious and will stop at nothing to get what I want. Therefore, I hope you'll never forget me, and that you'll never be able to marry and have children normally. You'll live your whole life carrying the memories of me, but..."
The dark rift was spreading in this direction at a visible speed, and it looked like half of the Desa Palace had already been swallowed up.
Shi Yu and Shen Su were already standing in the formation. Eve urged, "Hurry up!"
Mo Rugui remained standing still.
"Are you out of your mind?" Eve rushed over and dragged Mo Rugui into the formation.
"But I can't bear to do it." Jiang Liuyue stood there, watching Mo Rugui being pulled away.
Mo Rugui tried to rush out again, but Eve held him back tightly. He shouted at Jiang Liuyue, "Come here! Come in! I'll take you away! Come on—"
“I can’t bear to see you all alone…” Jiang Liuyue looked like she was about to cry, but in the end she gave a smile that was even more painful than crying. “So I hope your wish comes true.”
"I hope you go back to the world you want to return to. I hope that the end of the world in that world will end one day. I hope you can meet someone you truly love and grow old with."
"Then……"
Jiang Liuyue's smile was still on her lips, and the three words trembled slightly in the wind.
"Forget me..."
Then his gaze fell on Shen Su, as if he had suddenly discovered something unbelievable, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
"he……"
But he only managed to utter one word before darkness completely engulfed him.
At the same time, everyone was teleported out of the instance.
When Shi Yu opened his eyes again, he was back in his bedroom at home.
He opened the game interface.
The settlement details for this instance were very simple, consisting of only one line—
[Congratulations to player Shi Yu for clearing the final dungeon, Mechanical Era! You have received one "Permanent Game Disengagement Ticket." Would you like to use it now?]
【whether】
At the same time, he received a message from Shen Su—
Did you use a permanent quit ticket?
