Chapter 31 48h (End)
The inner world began to collapse.
Feng Ru and Xu Jing looked at the space around them that had shattered into countless shapes. Dust was floating around them, revealing the true appearance of Yucheng University.
Feng Ru showed a trace of surprise on his face: "This is actually..."
"What?" Xu Jing asked.
Feng Ru had a complicated expression on her face: "You didn't know that you were in the dungeon. Yucheng University has been newly rated as a first-class university in the past two years. It's very famous. If I had passed the college entrance examination, I would have filled in this application."
When Feng Ru found out that this school was also called "Yucheng University", she had doubts in her heart, but because she had searched for photos of Yucheng University before, after discovering that the campus setting and building distribution were somewhat different from the reality, Feng Ru thought it was just a coincidence of the name collision.
But when the illusion disappeared, countless miles of worlds were abandoned, and the true original appearance of Yucheng University was revealed, Feng Ru was shocked to find that this copy was modeled after the real Yucheng University.
"When I entered the game, Yucheng University was apparently at its peak... What happened later?" Feng Ru murmured.
Xu Jing said, "Don't trace it back! Look at the students around you, they are all running towards the school gate."
They both turned their heads and saw the rapidly raging fire behind them.
Feng Ru yelled, "Oh my god, this guy is really awesome! Setting fire to the school fulfilled my dream before I entered the game!"
She grabbed Shao Qiu Shui's hand and started running wildly with the students.
Xu Jing took a breath and hurriedly followed behind. He was not in very good physical condition, and he was panting while running: "I saw the exit of the dungeon, it's just in front!"
"Let's go... Hey," Feng Ru felt her hand being torn away. She looked at Shao Qiu Shui blankly, as if waking up from a dream, and said, "Ah, yes, you are an NPC."
Feng Ru looked at the clean and pretty girl in front of him, and for some reason he suddenly felt reluctant.
Xu Jing pulled her, and Feng Ru finally came to her senses. She didn't know what was wrong with her, so she asked, "What are you planning?"
Shao Qiushui said: "I haven't escaped from this university, so I probably can't leave. You guys leave quickly, I'll wait for someone here."
The fire engulfed the entire world behind her with a burning feeling, and a strong and sultry wind blew the girl's skirt slightly.
Feng Ru hurriedly responded "Okay" and was half-dragged and half-pulled out of the copy by Xu Jing.
Shao Qiu Shui lifted her hair and looked at the campus behind her which was like purgatory, a trace of worry appeared in her eyes.
Even if this was a replica, what did it matter? She was originally a replica, and her memories and emotions were all rooted in the fake replica.
Shao Qiu Shui stayed here, just holding on to a glimmer of hope.
She wanted to see Mr. Gu walk out of the sea of fire and formally thank him and say goodbye to him.

After negotiating the situation with the person on the other end of the phone, Gu Qiufeng already felt the burning sensation of the fire right between his eyebrows.
Gu Qiufeng didn't stay any longer. He took Feng He with him and jumped down one section at a time along the exhaust fan of the air conditioner before the fire completely engulfed the building.
Most of the students have successfully escaped from Yucheng University. Fire is devouring the ruins left by the pollution and mutation, as if the world is disintegrating and reconstructing itself.
At the beginning, Gu Qiufeng could barely stay ahead of the fire, but after he gradually ran out of energy, he had to rely on Feng He to drag him along.
As the sky and the earth were burning, Gu Qiufeng paused when he was about to reach the school gate.
"Student Shao." he said.
Shao Qiu Shui lifted her skirt, bent down and saluted him respectfully.
The fire quickly moved closer to a place more than a hundred meters behind the two men.
In front of the bright flames and ashes filling the sky, the girl blinked her eyes which seemed to be filled with tears.
"I am very grateful to Mr. Gu." Shao Qiu Shui said, "I am not afraid now, and I will not be afraid in the future."
"I wish Mr. Gu a safe journey."
The fire spread to her back and burned off all the ends of her hair.
The next moment, Gu Qiufeng held Shao Qiu Shui's hand tightly.
Shao Qiu Shui suddenly opened his eyes wide, tears flew out and evaporated in the air.
Gu Qiufeng sighed: "Will you come with me?"
Shao Qiushui was stunned and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"Be an artist for me and work for me." Gu Qiufeng thought for a moment and said, "I don't have any other advantages, but I can make you dance, and dance for many, many people."
He bought a protective shield and placed it between the two of them. Then it seemed as if the heaven and earth had been destroyed, leaving only the two of them.
Shao Qiu Shui wiped her tears and nodded quickly: "I am willing to go with Mr. Gu!"
"Let me make it clear first, I don't want artists who can't fight." Gu Qiufeng sighed, "This copy is very expensive, but luckily the rewards are enough."
He spun out a blank card with his middle finger and put it on Shao Qiu Shui's wrist.
The mechanical voice beside my ear kept broadcasting——
[Fifty draws! Congratulations to the player for drawing the UR character card "Dancing Girl in the Sea of Fire"]
[Card surface is being generated...]
Gu Qiufeng took advantage of the moment before the protective shield broke down, grabbed Shao Qiu Shui's wrist, and ran into the copy exit with her before the fire caught up.
His eyes were hazy for a moment, and when Gu Qiufeng stood still, the mechanical sound beside his ear seemed to be stuck, and there was no sound announcing the successful generation of the card surface.
For some reason, Gu Qiufeng had a bad feeling.
Before drawing the card for Shao Qiu Shui, he put Feng He's card back into his pocket just in case, so Gu Qiufeng slightly turned sideways and stood beside Shao Qiu Shui.
After leaving the copy, they saw the school gate that they saw after getting off the bus.
There was clearly flames in the campus, but when I looked back at the campus at this time, I found that it seemed as if nothing had happened.
They were surrounded by "students" who had escaped from Yucheng University, and were discussing their thrilling experiences over the past few days in a state of shock.
Gu Qiufeng was stunned. This was different from the scene he saw when he cleared the Phoenix God copy.
The copy actually reproduced this part?
What exactly did the prophet want him to see?
Although he had left the copy, Gu Qiufeng still did not relax his vigilance. After a while, several official vehicles with sirens blaring stopped by the roadside, and several uniformed protection center personnel came out.
"Who reported the case?" asked a staff member from the protection center.
"I don't know." The students whispered to each other, and finally realized that no one here admitted it.
"Officer, when we were in school, our cell phones and computers had no signals and we couldn't contact the outside world at all," said a student.
Someone immediately agreed with him: "Yes! Our school is shrouded in an anomaly. We can't escape, and we can't contact the outside world!"
The police officer who was questioning murmured, "That's strange. Someone reported the case to me, and the phone IP address was at Yucheng University."
"Deputy Captain!" A young police officer ran over in a hurry. "The drone sent a photo. Look, it looks like there's a fire inside Yucheng University!"
The deputy captain looked at the devastated scene inside with a serious expression.
This doesn't look like it was caused by a fire...it looks more like it was cleansed by something.
He immediately looked up: "Send all the students here to the hospital for examination! Seal off the scene, this is an abnormal phenomenon!"
Gu Qiufeng and Shao Qiu Shui just stood in the crowd, watching everything that happened half a year ago.
They were talking to themselves, and no one could see them.
Gu Qiufeng said: "Is this the past half a year ago?"
In this way, we can infer everything that happened at that time.
The initial abnormality at Yucheng University came from a ghost baby that escaped from the "Fatal Fall" copy. The school initially wanted to suppress the incident and tried to frame a female student. At the same time, the female student was seen by Zhou Jie who came to clean the toilet. Zhou Jie intended to blackmail the female student with the "female college student giving birth on campus" incident, but failed. She had a bad idea and pushed the female student down.
At the same time, while investigating his sister's disappearance, Shen Yubo was accidentally found by the parents of the female student who fell from the building. They asked Shen Yubo, a lawyer, to represent them in the lawsuit. Shen Yubo found a girl from the Student Union Security Department and wanted to get the corresponding surveillance to pry open the mouth of Yucheng University.
Judging from the skills, the existence of the ghost baby should be highly contaminating and infectious. So the student from the School of Information who was repairing the video for his girlfriend became the first victim of the ghost baby. The girl realized something was wrong, and at this time the influence of the ghost baby was already evident in the school. After the school leaders were controlled, Yucheng University became an isolated island. Before the school was completely closed, the girl used means to send the video to Shen Yubo.
But it was obvious that the express delivery was delayed due to some force majeure. Then, the students of Yucheng University had a hard time for a few days, and were saved by a sudden fire. The infected people were wiped out in the fire, and Yucheng University resumed contact with the outside world. The protection center received an unknown report call and rushed to seal up Yucheng University, which had abnormalities, and publicized that it was because of the serious fire losses that Yucheng University needed to relocate.
This incident was suppressed, and even many people in City A didn't know what was going on inside the local Yucheng University.
[The hidden plot of the dungeon has been unlocked. Congratulations to the player for completing the game perfectly.]
[Rewards are being settled...]
The uneasiness in Gu Qiufeng's heart grew stronger and stronger.
The bus that took him back to the game from the copy never showed up. Around him were busy protection center staff and a group of frightened students, as if they were not in the game, but had really returned to the reality of half a year ago.
Gu Qiufeng's eyes swept over these virtual characters one by one, hoping to find the source of his uneasiness.
The prompt sound indicating the successful generation of his skill card never appeared.
So weird.
He had clearly already cleared the level and escaped from the dungeon!
The buildings in the distance were shrouded in thick fog, exactly the same scene they saw when they arrived by bus.
Suddenly, Gu Qiufeng saw a man wearing a baseball cap and a black mask in the crowded crowd.
The students here all escaped in a hurry. They were lucky enough not to be in a mess. It was impossible for them to have the energy to cover themselves up so tightly.
This person did not escape from Yucheng University!
Gu Qiufeng's heart began to beat violently.
This was clearly a reappearance of what happened half a year ago, and that person might have been a passerby who passed by unintentionally half a year ago.
However, the strange and uncomfortable feeling in Gu Qiufeng's heart was growing more and more, and it became extremely strong the moment he discovered the man in the baseball cap.
The man raised his head as if he realized something and glanced at Gu Qiufeng from a distance.
Gu Qiufeng only felt a buzzing in his head, and some fragmented mumblings suddenly flooded into his mind, making him feel dazed.
Until a mechanical sound woke him up——
[Warning, it is detected that the player is being disturbed by an unknown force...]
[Skill...invalid...]
[Card surface damage…45%]
[Warning, players please look away! Do not look directly at the invisible things! ]
Shao Qiu Shui who was beside him was immediately put into the card in Gu Qiufeng's hand, and a blood-red "X" appeared in the center of the card.
At this moment, Gu Qiufeng's head was about to explode due to the countless voices.
But he stared at the man in disbelief.
In the copy, he saw Xie Xin from half a year ago!
Although the man was covered tightly, only a pair of peach blossom eyes were exposed.
But Gu Qiufeng would never admit his mistake.
That’s Xie Xin!
Why is Xie Xin here?
For a moment, Gu Qiufeng truly felt a chill rising up his back.
He saw Xie Xin from half a year ago, appearing next to the unusual Yucheng University.
And Xie Xin was clearly filming in Y City that month.
Xie Xin half a year ago and Xie Xin half a year later, at this moment, are looking at each other from afar across time and space.
The author has something to say:
*Xie Xin: Appears in the first chapter
