Chapter 158 The Clouds Disappeared and the Rain Cleared [End]
"Are all the living people here?" Wu Tian slowly raised his head and scanned everyone one by one.
Li Ziyue's eyebrows twitched slightly.
Wu Tian? Didn't he die a long time ago?
No. What he had seen before was just his imagination.
But it's still a little strange.
If it was really his fantasy, how could he know that Fang Yuan, a stranger to him, would eventually die from a mission that could never be completed?
Zhang Xingzhi stood beside Li Ziyue. He seemed to know the doubts in Li Ziyue's heart, and then slowly shook his head: "We are all in our own "advanced pseudo-human copies", but the experiences of all of us will be cross-integrated, and will change to a certain extent due to different personal consciousness. For example, in the copy I experienced before, you were standing downstairs in the rain... I guess you were troubled by water for a long time."
Li Ziyue nodded.
"Wu Tian was entangled by the baby in the end..." Zhang Xingzhi thought thoughtfully, "I was chasing him at the time, but he accidentally lost me and I never saw him again."
Li Ziyue said in a deep voice: "I once saw Wu Tian's head swollen by blisters in the sewer."
Sun Yuancheng got goosebumps: "Huh... it's disgusting."
Zhang Xingzhi's expression was solemn: "So, is this Wu Tian in front of me a real person, or a fake——"
Before he finished speaking, a strong gust of wind suddenly flashed by his ears, and a bullet flew past Zhang Xingzhi's face and headed straight for Wu Tian.
Wu Tian moved his body at a speed unimaginable for ordinary people, and the bullet penetrated deep into the wall behind him.
"Everyone...can't breathe..."
Liu Yuche's weak voice came from the door.
She was deeply poisoned. She didn't expect the gun to kill Wu Tian, but only to remind everyone in the house.
In a flash, Li Ziyue opened the folding fan in his hand and blew away the strange airflow that had just wrapped around Zhang Xingzhi's nose.
Li Ziyue's eyes darkened as he stared at Wu Tian.
The folding fan and the spear were in his and Zhang Lian's hands respectively. Unexpectedly, the remaining [poison fog] had been hidden by Wu Tian until now.
Wu Tian raised his eyelids indifferently.
"without……"
Zhang Xingzhi’s eyes were almost closed: “When you… realized the poisonous gas emitted by the [poison mist]… you were actually already deeply poisoned…”
In less than half a second, Sun Yuancheng had knelt down beside the bench. Even Zhang Xingzhi, who was more resistant to toxins, looked pale, with beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.
"Patta." The folding fan fell to the ground.
Li Ziyue leaned on the edge of the table, covering his mouth with one hand, but his chest rose and fell uncontrollably.
Obviously, the real Wu Tian had been killed, and the one in front of him was the fake Wu Tian who escaped.
"You guys cleared the level, but I will die because of it," Wu Tian said calmly, "It's so unfair."
In fact, everyone present had misunderstood one fact.
The top three in the current standings are Zhang Xingzhi, Bai Yu, and Wu Tian.
However, Zhang Xingzhi is half a pseudo-human. As long as he is not in the "Advanced Pseudo-Human Copy", no matter how many times he dies, he can survive in the end by relying on the pseudo-human's powerful self-healing ability.
Not to mention Bai Yu.
To be fair, Wu Tiancai is number one in the player rankings.
At this time, Bai Yuming on the side maintained a neutral attitude. He sat on the sofa, as if he didn't see the chaos, and continued to leisurely make tea for himself.
It is really troublesome that someone like Wu Tian ends up becoming their enemy.
Li Ziyue's vision had begun to blur, and he seemed to be suspended in mid-air, unable to find a support point no matter what.
[Poison Mist] does not have the destructive power of a spear or a folding fan that can kill people instantly. Its advantage lies in its silence. By the time the prey reacts, it is already too late to save them. It is like a fly that accidentally falls into a spider's web and can only watch as the spider gnaws at its body bit by bit.
There are no windows here and the door is closed by Wu Tian. It is simply a perfect poison house. Li Ziyue even began to associate Bai Yu's previous words with this scene.
Could it be that the so-called customs clearance is another scam?
Could it be that Bai Yu had colluded with Wu Tian in order to trick all the survivors into coming here? !
Li Ziyue no longer had the energy to think about these questions.
In a trance, the puppy wallet that had been in his shirt pocket fell out. Li Ziyue pulled himself together and used the last bit of his strength to open it upside down.
A few coins fell from the gap.
“Bang!”
The coin spun and collided on the ground, making a series of crisp sounds.
Li Ziyue bent over, coughing uncontrollably, and held a coin in his palm.
Zhang Lian.
Those were the last two words he thought before he lost consciousness.
The next second, Li Ziyue, who had completely fainted, was slowly picked up by someone.
Zhang Lian remained silent. He placed Li Ziyue on the long sofa and fed him half a bottle of liquid. When his face turned from pale to slightly rosy and his breathing was no longer as rapid as before,
"Bang!"
Most of [Wu Tian]'s body was forcefully embedded deep into the wall. Zhang Lian looked down at him expressionlessly and stepped hard on his left shoulder bone. With a little more force, [Wu Tian] could even hear the sound of his bones breaking bit by bit and then shattering into powder.
An endless storm seemed to be suppressed under Zhang Lian's deep blue eyes, without a single emotion that a human being should have.
When he was locked in a test box as a child, when he was maliciously speculated, talked about, and ridiculed by people around him, when he was treated as a guinea pig, when he was forced to have liquids injected into his body, Zhang Lian never felt angry.
Because Zhang Lian doesn't care about many things, in most cases, his emotions are extremely stable, like a silent and quiet sea under the sun.
He thought he was almost forgetting the feeling of anger.
[Wu Tian] knew that Zhang Lian was stronger than most people. However, after he really came to this copy, he found that Zhang Lian did not do much. Most of the time, Zhang Lian would just look at Li Ziyue quietly, like a well-behaved and obedient younger brother. If Li Ziyue said to go east, he would go east and never offered any other opinions.
What kind of storm can such a person stir up?
Therefore, even if Zhang Lian had a spear as a weapon, Wu Tian, who was holding the [Poison Mist], was not afraid of him.
However, when his body was really dismembered bit by bit, Wu Tian realized the huge gap between him and Zhang Lian.
Zhang Lian was like a giant weapon that might explode at any time. Only when Li Ziyue was next to him would he hide the detonator in a corner where no one could find it.
The pseudo-man's powerful self-healing ability was far inferior to Zhang Lian's unilateral speed in crushing him. Zhang Lian finally stopped not because Wu Tian had no breath left, but because Li Ziyue seemed to be calling him.
When he arrived in front of Li Ziyue, Zhang Lian realized that it was just an unconscious dream talk. Zhang Lian gently held Li Ziyue's left hand in his palm. He slowly lowered his head and left a light kiss on the back of Li Ziyue's hand.
"elder brother."
He said softly.
Afterwards, Zhang Lian was no longer seen in the room.
When Li Ziyue woke up, Bai Yu was the only one around him who could talk to him. Zhang Xingzhi, Liu Yuche and Sun Yuancheng were still unconscious because the poison had not yet dissipated from their bodies. As for Wu Tian, in Bai Yu's words, his soul had gone to the King of Hell to receive three whips.
"It seems you don't like this joke." Bai Yu said.
Li Ziyue forced a smile. He looked at the others in the room and said with a sense of loss, "Where's Zhang Lian?"
"You knew he was here?" Bai Yu was surprised.
"I feel..." Li Ziyue said slowly, "I feel like he's been here, I don't know."
Bai Yu smiled and said, "Zhang Lian will be fine."
Li Ziyue muffled his voice.
"Don't be sad," Bai Yu rubbed the top of his head, "Come and talk to me about your final choice."
"What choice?" Li Ziyue was stunned.
Bai Yu stared at him intently, his lips moving slightly.
"Hello."
"Li Ziyue."
“I’m watching you.”
Li Ziyue's pupils shrank slightly.
This was the voice of the pure white child he had heard in countless dreams.
"Who exactly are you..." He looked at Bai Yu in disbelief.
"I am myself at this moment. I am just borrowing this body to talk to you." It took Li Ziyue's hand and said, "Don't be afraid of me. I have no ill will towards humans."
Its hands waved in the air, and in an instant, the entire room dimmed, forming a purple, blue and black starry sky.
Many portrait windows appeared one after another around Li Ziyue.
Most of those people were crying and shouting something excitedly to Li Ziyue.
[Wow, wow, wow, it’s the last one! This is the last copy.]
[Host, do you know how I spent the time you were away from me? I downloaded three copies... I really understand you, I am so sad]
[Those worlds... Brother Li, how did you survive in the first place...]
[I'm really honest now. I will definitely protect the environment. I never want to encounter big hail and zombie sieges again.]
[All my companions are dead... I really... I don't know what to do... Fortunately, you have completed the game, so I don't have to have nightmares all night long.]
【Finally, say goodbye to everyone】
[Yueyue! I want to be your audience in my next life... Wuwuwu, bah, bah, bah, what am I talking about? You are not allowed to get stuck in the dungeon again. The dungeon is too hard to endure! ]
[Anchor, you must be extremely happy in the future! All the difficulties are over! ]
[I want to give you all the points I have accumulated in the dungeon during this period! ]
[I still want to be your moderator! Woohoo, when your life becomes stable, start live streaming. Everyone wants to chat with you.]
[5555, brother, I watched you do physics papers in the dungeon every day. I followed your ideas and my comprehensive science scores improved. I can't bear to leave you.]
[Don’t leave, I saw you sleeping during the live broadcast before... Don’t leave...]
…
On his live broadcast homepage, the reward points continued to increase, gradually reaching an astonishing number he had never seen before.
"You humans have really complicated emotions." It stared at the rapidly updating words on the screen. "Before you were scared to death, but now you are so happy and in tears because of the same thing."
Li Ziyue pursed his lips, his eyebrows were soft, and his eyes were shining: "Thank you all for your company and support."
The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and his tone was very light: "Good night."
[Goodbye, anchor! I will miss you! Woohoo, I don’t want to say goodbye at all]
【Goodbye! Yueyue! 】
[Brother Wuwuwu, you know what? If I hadn’t learned something from you, I would have died in the last instance. Wuwuwu. I don’t want to never see you again in the future.]
【I still want to learn from you】
[Wuwuwu anchor, I am still a middle school student. Although I often complained about you bringing homework to dungeons in the barrage before, I really learned a lot from you]
[I don’t want to graduate ahhhhh]
【Good night woooooooooooo】
[Can I still hear you say good morning?]
[No more days of clicking on your livestream after school to watch you dodging monsters while finding opportunities to do your homework]
【Goodbye! Goodbye, goodbye! Woo woo woo】
The screen went out little by little, and the surroundings returned to silence.
A fluorescent light rose in front of Li Ziyue, gradually expanding and finally turning into the appearance of Huo Qianyun.
"Senior sister..." Li Ziyue murmured.
Huo Qianyun did not say anything, but just pursed her lips and showed a gentle smile. She stretched out her hand and put her palm against Li Ziyue's.
Time seems to stand still at this moment.
Li Ziyue's eyelashes trembled slightly.
Her body disintegrated into long strings of numbers, which in turn formed other characters.
[Li Ziyue, became an infinite dungeon player at the age of 18]
[Highest scoreboard ranking 1/20370]
[Completed 237 primary dungeons, 578 intermediate dungeons, 76 advanced dungeons, and 1 final dungeon, a total of 882 clearances, an average of one clearance every 3.31 days, and the activity coefficient ranks 6/357861 among all players in history]
[A total of 3,375,700 points have been earned, ranking 1/357,861 among all players in history]
[673 times won the title of "Ahead of Time", 125 times won the title of "Perfect Time", 257 times triggered the "Critical Moment" Easter Egg, and was finally named "Winner on the Edge of a Knife"]
[Li Ziyue, 26 years old, successfully cleared "Advanced Pseudo-Human Dungeon"]
[This is your 2922nd day in the dungeon]
"Human." It stood up and looked at Li Ziyue, "I know you are sad at the moment."
Li Ziyue turned his face away.
It held Li Ziyue's fingers and said slowly: "You are a human with rich emotions. I like you very much, human."
It waved its hand downwards, and the surrounding scene returned to normal. Unknowingly, it had walked to the door, put its hand on the door handle, and then pressed it down.
It was already late at night and it was exceptionally quiet outside the door. The dim street lights illuminated the trash can, and stray cats and dogs had half of their bodies stuck in, searching for food.
In the distance, there is a 24-hour food stall, and occasionally you can hear the loud laughter of people gathering together to drink beer and play cards.
Above, the moon is round and bright. The night is deep, and occasionally one or two shining stars can be seen.
It looked out the door: "This is your last choice, human."
"Outside is the world where your audience lives, which is more than a hundred years earlier than your civilization. I know that those people never let you find out the time difference between you and the audience in order to make you adapt to this life quickly." It shrugged and snorted, "I knew it long ago. They thought they had hidden it from me, but nothing can be hidden from me."
"But, who cares."
After not seeing it for a while, its personality seems to have changed a lot. It is no longer as cold as before.
"You can leave, or you can stay." It turned and looked at Li Ziyue, "This is your final choice."
…
"Where's Zhang Lian?" Li Ziyue held the puppy wallet in his hand. "If I leave here, will I never find him?"
It smiled and said, "Zhang Lian is no longer in the Advanced Pseudo-Human Dungeon. You don't need to worry."
Afterwards, its facial features seemed to undergo some subtle changes.
When Li Ziyue opened his eyes again, it had turned into the frail-looking god wearing a worn straw sun hat and with extremely fair skin.
"You once asked me for my blessing of marriage." He tapped Li Ziyue's brow with his finger, "May God bless you."
"You will meet each other one day. Believe me, I won't keep you waiting too long."
Li Ziyue stood at the door, but finally turned back hesitantly.
"Who are you?" he asked softly, "Are you that kid, or the God of Marriage, or...senior?"
"Now you know how to call me senior?" Bai Yu's eyes curved, "Yuezi."
"I've been in the dungeon for too long, so long that I've forgotten my true identity. Most of the time, I'm just a shell of someone else."
His eyes were gentle: "But I always remember that I promised you, Senior Sister, that I would help you here. I have done this, and the rest is not important."
Bai Yu said: "I am a fake person. A fake person who keeps his promises."
…
Li Ziyue escaped three times.
For the first time, he lost his grandmother, who had depended on him for everything.
For the second time he lost the only friend who cared about him.
For the third time, he lost the senior who protected him.
Three lessons, three tortures of blood and tears, and countless spit and hatred thrown at him during his lowest moments, never bent his back.
He said he was mediocre, incompetent and of average qualifications.
But he is the first player to complete the "Advanced Pseudo-Human Copy".
…
Li Ziyue often has no mornings off, but if Zhang Lian could be a little more restrained like his name, Li Ziyue's excellent biological clock would wake him up at half past six.
Li Ziyue half-sat on the bed, carefully took away Zhang Lian's hand that was across his waist, and put a pillow that Zhang Lian used to sleep on into his arms - it had his scent on it, and Zhang Lian would not be able to wake up for a while.
He then breathed a sigh of relief, and belatedly remembered that there was a reason why Zhang Lian let him go last night.
What is the reason?
He frowned and pondered over the fried eggs in the pan.
After thinking for a long time, he couldn't come up with any useful information, but some color memories filled his morning.
Li Ziyue gritted his teeth and decided to give the egg with burnt edges to Zhang Lian.
There were children outside the window secretly setting off firecrackers. Li Ziyue yawned and slightly opened the glass window to let the light from outside in.
The cold wind also sneaked in, caressing Li Ziyue's eyebrows and flushed face, reducing the heat in his body.
Before I knew it, it is New Year’s Eve. Tomorrow is New Year’s Day. The chill is still there, but the crowds are getting busier.
Li Ziyue stood by the window and watched for a long time, until the hot milk turned cold again, and then he came to his senses.
When I walked into the room, Zhang Lian had already stood up, but as usual he would sit on the bed and stare blankly for a while, waiting for his brain to "start up normally."
The man was still in a daze, but he had not forgotten the action.
He put his arm around Li Ziyue's waist, rubbed her intimately through her pajamas for a long time, and kissed her a few times, and only then did she really wake up.
"elder brother."
Li Ziyue's brows softened and he responded softly.
In the past few years, he would either spend New Year's Eve in the dungeon, or fall asleep early and be woken up by the sound of firecrackers in the middle of the night, and then sit on the bed and wait quietly for dawn.
At that time he always felt that the night was long, the weather was really cold, the sound of firecrackers was harsh, and the red color made people irritated.
I have forgotten all that now.
He thought about trying to cook a few dishes in the evening. He knew Zhang Lian's taste, but he rarely cooked. Just the task of "making New Year's Eve dinner" would take Zhang Lian a whole day to teach him.
Li Ziyue felt happy for the first time in a long time. However, when he walked out of the room, he felt that the house was too empty.
Originally, he and Zhang Lian were living well in another place. These days, Zhang Lian wanted to move to a quieter suburb to celebrate the New Year. Li Ziyue had no objection to this at first, but the house was really big and it was a bit lonely for two people to live in it.
Zhang Lian was cleaning up in the kitchen. Li Ziyue walked over. He had a candy in his mouth. He licked it twice, then hooked his hands around Zhang Lian's neck, pushed him down, and kissed him carefully.
When the person was put on the table, the doorbell rang.
"Ignore them." Zhang Lian asked him to concentrate.
Li Ziyue was stunned, and seemed to remember something in a trance.
He coaxed and kissed Zhang Lian, then pushed him away and walked towards the door.
I could still hear those familiar voices through the objects.
"Zhang Xingzhi, you have become a big eater, right? You finished a bowl of noodles in just a few bites, just to compete with me for the first place. Aren't you afraid that you will get burned and won't be able to eat later?"
"Without the spirit of striving for first place in everything, how could I have ranked first in the rankings? Sun Yuancheng, don't make excuses for yourself. If you hadn't stopped to watch Liu Yuche shooting toys for the kids, you would have arrived earlier."
"You two are arguing. Did you bring any gifts? If not, please move aside. There are so many people waiting for you behind us."
