Xiao Tangqiu didn't ask Meng Xinghe how to end it all, but asked softly: "If I end this experiment, what will you do?"
Meng Xinghe had been brain dead seven years ago, and it was only thanks to this crazy experiment that he was able to barely regain some consciousness. However, this experiment could only barely help Meng Xinghe regain consciousness, but could not make him truly sober.
For the past seven years, Meng Xinghe has been relying on this experiment and these machines to barely maintain his consciousness. Once this experiment is stopped, what will happen to Meng Xinghe?
Meng Xinghe smiled softly: "...Maybe he will die."
"Will you die?" Xiao Tangqiu murmured.
"I was already brain-dead..." Meng Xinghe sighed softly. "I died seven years ago. For the past seven years, I've barely relied on this experiment to maintain my consciousness. Although seven years were snatched away by death, I've lived a wonderful life that ordinary people might never live out in their entire lives... But all of this was built on that crazy experiment, on the innocent people who were forcibly dragged into it, especially you."
Xiao Tangqiu couldn't help but fall into silence. Those who were forcibly dragged into this experiment were definitely not willing. Meng Qingqiu's behavior completely disregarded those people's wishes and even put them in an extremely dangerous situation.
"Everything should end here. This crazy experiment should be over..." Meng Xinghe said calmly, "Once this experiment is over, you can return to the real world and resume your original life trajectory... Don't worry, you haven't been missing for very long. The longest time someone has been missing is about half a month, and you've been missing for about a week."
"A week?" Xiao Tangqiu was in a daze. It turned out that he had only spent seven days in this horror game world?
Meng Xinghe nodded. "So don't worry. You won't be out of touch with this era after you return to the real world. To your loved ones, you've only been missing for a while... You'll be able to resume your normal lives and get back on track."
Xiao Tangqiu asked blankly, "...So you killed so many people before, not for fun, but just to let their consciousness return to reality temporarily?"
Meng Xinghe said calmly, "Once my mother returns and discovers that I've 'killed' everyone, she'll immediately erase their memories and send them back to Abyss City. So you have to hurry and end this experiment now to free everyone."
Xiao Tangqiu was silent for a long time, then suddenly asked, "I want to ask you a question... Seven years ago, you became brain dead while trying to save me. Do you regret it?"
Meng Xinghe paused for a moment, then he said calmly: "No."
"Are you kidding? How could you not regret it?" Xiao Tangqiu murmured, "If you hadn't died back then, your life would definitely be very exciting now..." No matter what, it is definitely much better than being the king in a single-player game.
"I've indeed imagined countless times what kind of life I would have if I hadn't died..." Meng Xinghe sighed deeply, "Maybe we would have been admitted to the same university, even studied the same major, worked for the same company after graduation, and rented an apartment together..."
"Maybe I'd like to be a game streamer with you, make gaming my career, and live the free life of a freelancer together..."
"But no matter which of my assumptions about life... you are always there. I have indeed regretted dying, but I have never regretted saving you."
Xiao Tangqiu stared at Meng Xinghe blankly. It turned out that the two "tests of the Sword of the God of Light" were not only Meng Xinghe's hint to him, but also another future that Meng Xinghe imagined... If there really is a parallel world in this world, are he and Meng Xinghe in another parallel world living another life?
