Chapter 112: Sharing the same boat in Yuzhou (VIII) Sharing the same boat, suffering the same disease. ...
Dong Yu and Lin Yuzhou exchanged a glance, their expressions complicated. Seeing Shi Hong had already left, they hesitated when Wei Yuanye ascended to mid-air. He, Bufa, and Zhouzhu each released a stream of Qi, which merged in mid-air and continuously smashed into the air. Suddenly, a loud rumble erupted from the sky, and a bolt of lightning struck down. Wei Yuanye, still concentrating, suddenly turned around and looked in the direction of the two men, shouting angrily, "Run!"
Dong Yu and Lin Yuzhou turned and ran outside, but were swept in by the surging Qi of the Heavenly Gate. Wei Yuanye frowned, but heard Bufa shout, "The mission is accomplished. Focus!"
Wei Yuanye watched Dong Yu and Lin Yuzhou being swept into the air. His brows furrowed, knowing full well that with their skills, there was no chance of survival. Wei Yuanye said in a deep voice, "Hold your breath!"
The sound cut through the raging wind and rain, piercing their eardrums. Dong Yu and Lin Yuzhou held hands, braving the storm. They took a deep breath and held it. Suddenly, a black mist arose from nowhere. A closer look revealed tiny, indistinguishable cubes of particles. These particles enveloped the storm, sucking in the wind and compressing the air. The surrounding air seemed to be drained, and all spiritual energy was completely eliminated. Without anger, he said, "Wei Yuanye, how dare you be distracted!"
The black fog surrounded the two of them and threw them out. Zhang Deng looked at everything in front of him in disbelief. He said, "What is this?"
"This isn't something from Earth," Chi Xiaoxia said. "The gates of heaven have opened, and Wei Yuanye's abilities have returned."
At this moment, Zhang Deng suddenly realized that Wei Yuanye was so terrifying. His strength and intelligence were so uncontrollable that once out of control, it would cause the destruction of the world.
Compared to him, Aping is nothing. Aping deserves to die, so what about Wei Yuanye?
The sky had already cracked open, and Chi Xiaoxia stood up and said, "I'm leaving."
"Will we meet again?" Zhang Deng raised the corners of his mouth and forced a smile.
Chi Xiaoxia didn't laugh. He was a very honest person. When he didn't want to laugh, he wouldn't force himself.
"Zhang Deng, I'm not actually my real self," Chi Xiaoxia said. "Perhaps it's hard for you to understand, but I don't actually have a physical body. What's before you is just a fragment of me. Time doesn't exist for me, and the future is a false proposition. The real me drifts in the universe. Unless observed, it's just a ball of nothingness."
"We won't meet again," Chi Xiaoxia said. "Human life is too short for me, but I'm glad to have met you."
Zhang Deng said, "Me too."
"I like your courage and resourcefulness," Chi Xiaoxia said. "Although you're a human being, trapped in cognitive locks and causality, you dare to love and hate. You're the bravest person I've ever met."
"Oh," Zhang Deng said, "So you're so good at talking."
Chi Xiaoxia was speaking from the heart. He really wanted to take Zhang Deng away, but he also knew that Zhang Deng would not leave with him. Zhang Deng belonged to this world. Zhang Deng had a clear understanding that he was very good at swimming in the river called cause and effect.
Chi Xiaoxia took one last look at Zhang Deng. Zhang Deng smiled at him, tears flashing in his eyes, but they didn't fall in the end.
Chi Xiaoxia just disappeared before his eyes.
Everything was just like this, and Zhang Deng suddenly remembered a sentence.
Like dew, like lightning, like a dream or bubble.
Zhang Deng sat back on the big rock and looked up into the air. Wei Yuanye's figure was too far away to be clearly seen, but Zhang Deng always felt as if his features were in his mind.
Zhang Deng curled his legs up against his chest with his arms around them. He rested his chin on his knees and looked at Wei Yuanye's back again and again.
Logically speaking, he should have a lot to think about, and many emotions should be squeezed in his chest.
But at this moment, Zhang Deng couldn't find any emotion.
He seemed to be watching someone else's affairs. He felt very calm, as if he was in the eye of a tornado. The wind was swirling around him, but not even the corners of his clothes were blown away.
He felt that Wei Yuanye seemed to be looking over here as well.
But there is no need to be so self-indulgent. Wei Yuanye will not look in this direction.
The tears in Zhang Deng's eyes finally fell unconsciously. He quickly wiped them away, wiping away the traces on his cheeks. He thought for a moment and said, "Bye, Wei Yuanye."
Wei Yuanye seemed to have heard it. He turned his head slightly, and Zhang Deng seemed to be talking to himself. He guessed that Wei Yuanye had such a skill. He said, "I don't blame you, nor do I hate you. There is no cause and effect between us."
Zhang Deng guessed that this was what Wei Yuanye feared most.
I have an inexplicable relationship with an inexplicable boy on Earth.
Zhang Deng said, "I am grateful to you. You are the one who saved my life, but I have also repaid the favor. Now we are even. You go your way, and I go mine. There is no need to look back. Let's move forward."
After Zhang Deng finished speaking, he was afraid that he would regret it and afraid that he would say another unnecessary word, so he immediately wrote a word on the palm of his hand with his finger. After writing this word, a white light lit up in his palm, and he looked up for the last time.
He still smiled at Wei Yuanye.
Zhang Deng waved his hand, smiling brightly. He was happy for Wei Yuanye, who had finally escaped captivity and Zhang Deng. He shouted, "Goodbye, handsome!"
"The future is bright and promising," Zhang Deng shouted. "Goodbye!"
Then he left.
The whole world, no matter where or at which coordinates, was shaken.
All the worlds were impacted by the Qi source that poured in after the Heavenly Gate opened. Zhang Deng returned to his rental house. His computer, kitten, and everything were all left in Yingzhou, but Zhang Deng was not worried.
He knew that everything was in his heart, and as long as he could see clearly, he was the center of the earth.
Zhang Deng casually picked up a book from the bookshelf. A page fell out of the book, and on it was a short poem: "This kind of love is like the sky is high and the clouds are light, I am alone in setting the prairie on fire."
Zhang Deng's original intention was not to take it, but he added a sentence at the end -
“It’s like a sea of clouds on fire, but my heart is still as still as water.”
Then he turned the page over and wrote one word on the back: "Change."
His heart moved at will, his energy moved the universe. He repeated the word in his mind, and then when he opened his eyes again, the whole world seemed to be turned upside down. The world of words and the real world were exchanged, and everyone was thrown into this virtual novel.
Zhang Deng sat on a bench in the playground, watching the setting sun at the end of the sky. The setting sun was like fire, and Li Xin's figure was running across the playground.
He was holding Xiao Mi in his arms. Xiao Mi was startled by his sudden appearance and tried to climb onto his shoulders by grabbing his neck, but Zhang Deng stopped her and said, "Don't worry, it's okay."
Xiao Mi slowly calmed down after being comforted by him. Zhang Deng touched its head and rubbed its smooth fur. It seemed that at this time, he finally found something that could support himself.
Zhang Deng cried for a while, then calmed down a little.
After running two laps, Li Xin felt something was wrong and walked towards him.
Zhang Deng looked up and saw Li Xin looking at him.
Li Xin said unhappily, "Who the hell are you?"
Zhang Deng said, "I'll just sit here for a while. I didn't come to chat with you."
Li Xin: “…”
She was choked and said after a while: "Can I touch it?"
"You have to ask it," Zhang Deng said, "I don't know."
Xiao Mi agreed. Li Xin touched its tail and then scratched its tailbone. Xiao Mi squinted his eyes in comfort.
Zhang Deng said, "You're quite good at petting kittens."
"I want to get one too," Li Xin said, "after I buy a house. My current landlord won't let me."
Zhang Deng had nothing to say about this.
He was still a little tired. He had just experienced too much and he could hardly open his mouth.
Li Xin said: "Actually, I graduated."
Zhang Deng: “?”
"If you want to find me, you can call me," Li Xin said a little unnaturally, "I don't come here often."
Zhang Deng smiled and said, "You misunderstood."
Li Xin's face instantly turned red, and she said, "Oh, forget it."
Zhang Deng wasn't a fan of Li Xin, nor was he a fervent pursuer. He thought for a moment and said, "We can leave our meeting to fate."
"I'm tired," Zhang Deng said, closing his eyes. The sunset light hit his face, making him look exhausted and fragile. "Let me rest for a while."
He sat here for a long time, until the sun had completely set and the couples who had finished digesting their food had returned to the dormitory. He was the only one left in the entire playground, with only the chirping of cicadas in his ears.
The outside world should have quieted down, Zhang Deng guessed.
He has to wait until the Heavenly Gate is repaired by the so-called God, wait until the Qi body that was attacking slowly returns to stability, and then release these people, and he can return to normal life.
But what happens after we go back?
Zhang Deng looked at the stars in the sky. He knew that these stars were fake, fabricated by him, and did not conform to the operation of the universe. There would be no Wei Yuanye in them.
This moment is the real farewell, without even a glimmer of hope.
Zhang Deng sighed, picked up the kitten, kissed its head, and said, "Let's go eat."
In Zhang Deng's world, he created a space that can accommodate everyone, countless buildings, countless houses, and everyone can move in directly and go in by pushing the door. This is the world he created. Riots, disputes, and robberies are not allowed here. His world may not be complete, but it is definitely safe.
Zhang Deng was walking on the street holding Xiao Mi in his arms. All the people passing by looked confused and at a loss. They didn't know what had happened, nor did they know that the creator of this world was passing by them.
Zhang Deng found a noodle restaurant to eat. There was 10,000 yuan in his mobile phone account, which is the initial capital that everyone has, enough for them to live until they leave this world.
Out of Zhang Deng's selfish desire, he fabricated a room for himself that was exactly the same as his rental house. He pushed the door open, put Xiao Mi down, prepared cat food and water for it, then lay down and fell asleep quietly.
