Chapter 115 I Am Also Me (Part 3) I observe the floating world, just as the universe observes me...
Li Mai asked, "What's going on?"
She also saw the problem. Li Mai asked, "You didn't write this at all. Who wrote it?"
"No one is writing this," Zhang Deng said, then denied the claim. He looked up at Li Mai and said, "God is writing this."
Zhang Deng said, "Bufa once speculated on the future of Earth. No matter what, it's extinction. There's only one way out, and that's escaping to the second dimension. Perhaps the outside world has already been destroyed."
Li Mai said, "What...does it mean?"
"Maybe God wants to lock us up here," Zhang Deng said, "so that we can put an end to this forever."
"Don't be like this," Li Mai said, seeing him about to collapse. She hugged him and comforted him, "I believe in you. You can do it."
believe?
Zhang Deng wanted to ask, what is the use of believing?
He himself didn't know what to do about this matter. Bufa had never sincerely thought about a way out for mankind. Now everyone had left, and only Zhang Deng was left. Zhang Deng had no idea what else to do.
Zhang Deng has never solved a big problem independently. For so long, he has only been hiding behind others. When encountering danger, the first thing he does is to run away and protect himself. This is because Zhang Deng knows that he has no ability.
He is not a man of both courage and strategy. He is not as strategic as Wei Yuanye, not as courageous as Lin Yuzhou, not as loyal as Shi Hong, and not as open-minded as Dong Yu. He is not as brave as Li Mai, nor as calm as Chi Xiaoxiang. He can do nothing at all.
Zhang Deng felt like the sky was falling.
Li Mai went to examine the document. She flipped through it for a long time. The two of them sat in front of it. Zhang Deng's heart was almost broken. He really couldn't hold on any longer. After an unknown amount of time, Li Mai suddenly said, "Actually, it still revolves around Li Xin."
Li Mai said, "They are all people around Li Xin, including the two of us. This story tells everything. Your identity, my identity, and your past experiences are all written out. As long as it is related to the main plot of this story, no matter whether it is related to the stories you wrote before, it will be written in detail."
Zhang Deng was finally awakened by her and said, "Oh, that's how it is."
Li Mai said, "So this could indeed be written by God, but it's also possible that these people simply entered the world of this book, and naturally something will happen to them, so you can't control the plot anymore."
Zhang Deng said, "What should we do then?"
"You think about it," Li Mai said, "how would I know?"
But Zhang Deng had no choice. He pressed the delete key again, but found that it still could not be deleted.
Zhang Deng said, "This is all I know."
"Can you cheer up a little?" Li Mai said, "You really weren't like this before."
Zhang Deng also felt painful, even aggrieved. He felt as if he was slapped in the face when he heard these words. Tears streamed down his cheeks. The words in the document continued to increase, and Zhang Deng had no ability to defend himself.
What can Zhang Deng say?
How should he express his grievances so as to appear less hateful?
His dream from the beginning was just to have a romantic relationship.
In order to have this relationship, he left where he lived and went to the World Tree alone to start a new life there. He also experienced many terrible things, but because he could be with Wei Yuanye, Zhang Deng still felt that it was bearable.
In order to have a good relationship, he even agreed to be the so-called "savior" of others. In the end, he felt that he had been crushed by the pressure and reached the point of mental dissociation. He watched his own collapse coldly and pretended that it didn't matter at all.
He never betrayed his original intention. In the pursuit of this dream, he never greedily asked for more. He always responded to Wei Yuanye's requests and was tolerant of people and things that could keep Wei Yuanye by his side.
Zhang Deng is not without dignity, he just loves Wei Yuanye very much.
The education Zhang Deng received since childhood told him that if you take a step back, the sky will be wider. As long as you are tolerant, you can have a satisfactory result. As long as you work hard, you can get everything you want.
But the facts dealt him another heavy blow.
Zhang Deng thought it was okay and acceptable. If they didn't want to have a relationship, he could just go back and live his own life. But now he told him that he couldn't go back. If he wanted to go back, he would have to take on huge responsibilities, otherwise he would be a traitor to humanity.
As a human being, Zhang Deng really couldn't bear so much.
But Li Mai told him, could he cheer up a little?
Zhang Deng really wanted to say no.
He turned his head, looked at Li Mai, and said, "Okay."
He took the mouse and re-examined the document. He read it for more than two hours, his eyes dry. When he finally stopped, Li Mai asked, "What do you think?"
"I think," Zhang Deng said, "this world needs to stop for a while, maybe five minutes. Let me change the subsequent plot and kick these people out."
Li Mai: "See, I knew you had a way."
"But how do we stop the world?" Li Mai said, "Isn't that difficult?"
"As long as the world surrounding Li Xin stops," Zhang Deng said, "it's best to do this while she's asleep. All her friends shouldn't move, not even the clocks. Her world must be absolutely still. If the document stops, I'll have a chance to write."
"This..." Li Mai frowned and said, "How is it possible?"
Zhang Deng said, "We can't do it just by the two of us, but I have some friends."
"I still have some," Li Mai said, "the problem is that everyone is separated."
"Sure," Zhang Deng said, "Isn't there already an internet celebrity?"
Li Mai's eyes suddenly lit up. She hugged Zhang Deng and kissed him: "You really are a genius."
Zhang Deng registered his own account again.
There are many people looking for their relatives on the Internet now, and the news has been drowned in the vast ocean. Zhang Deng knew that it was useless to post this video. He thought about it, asked Li Mai to take a photo of him, and then he issued a "revenge order".
"If anyone knows this person, please come to me on the 13th floor of Tianyuan Community, X Street, X City, with his head or information."
Because the censorship in this world is not yet strict, this video will not be taken down immediately. Because it is very absurd and far from the lives of ordinary people, it caused an uproar. Zhang Deng also promoted his own bounty order, keeping it on the hot list for two days.
Li Mai was a little worried. She asked, "Won't this attract some bad people?"
"It's hard to say," Zhang Deng said, unsure. He had no other choice but to say, "But you should move out for a few days. I'll come back to you when you're all right."
Li Mai: "Stop talking nonsense! Do you think I could leave?"
But she still silently put the kitchen knife under her pillow.
Zhang Deng has been paying attention to his own comment section and found that many people were making a fuss, but few people really knew about him. This so-called hunting order did not offer a very high reward, and it was more of a publicity stunt.
That evening, Zhang Deng saw the black shadow again in his dream.
Even in his dream, Zhang Deng still felt very tired. He sat down anywhere and could feel the dark shadow staring at him.
Zhang Deng felt strange, but didn't want to say anything. He just let the black shadow stand there and look at him.
After a long time, Zhang Deng suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Don't come here again."
He looked in that direction and said solemnly again: "Never come here again."
"This isn't your world," Zhang Deng said. "It's very dangerous for you to come here. I can't understand why you always come here."
"Maybe this is just a fragment to you?" Zhang Deng muttered to himself, "But to me, it's a very real moment. It would be better for both you and me if you don't come again."
The shadow didn't speak a word from beginning to end.
"Sleep is very important to me," Zhang Deng said. "I don't want to always expect to see you in my dreams, or not see you at all. You can't affect my real life and then affect my sleep. I hate you guys always controlling me through dreams."
This was the first time Zhang Deng spoke so firmly to Wei Yuanye.
"Go away, go quickly." Zhang Deng hurriedly said, "I would rather not sleep in this life than see you again."
The black shadow remained motionless and silent, but Zhang Deng felt that he must have understood and heard what he said.
Zhang Deng felt that it was the last time in his life, and it was very sad to say such heartless words, so he added: "Listen, I allow you to live a good life."
"Wei Yuanye," Zhang Deng announced, "I forgive you. I just don't want to see you again. I allow you to be happy in the future."
In the dream, Zhang Deng had no tears, but when he opened his eyes, his pillow was wet.
Then he saw the person sitting at the head of his bed.
Zhang Deng screamed in fright. Even Xiao Mi was woken up by him at this time and was frightened to the point of having her hair stand on end. Li Mai rolled off the sofa and hurriedly said, "What's wrong?"
The small light in front of the window was turned on, and Shi Hong's face was revealed.
Shi Hong helplessly put the knife aside and said, "Where did you learn such a wicked method?"
Zhang Deng finally smiled and said, "You're here!"
Shi Hongdao: "From that video of yours, I thought you were in some big trouble."
Zhang Deng hugged him. Shi Hong made him feel like he had someone he could rely on again. Zhang Deng said, "I'm fine. I just missed you guys so much."
Shi Hong also hugged him, patted his back, and said, "After that day, I suddenly understood a lot of things. I'm sorry for the hardship you've suffered."
Zhang Deng looked at him, exhausted and dusty, and suddenly realized that Shi Hong was not a person who had lived under the framework of this worldview. Everything in this modern world should be very unfamiliar to Shi Hong.
How did he cross thousands of mountains and rivers, buy tickets, take a ride, ask for directions, and come to my side?
Shi Hong never mentioned any of the hardships he had endured. Even when he came here and found out it was all a scam, he just sat by the bed and waited for him to wake up.
Shi Hong himself had just lost his lover when the Heavenly Gate opened.
Zhang Deng's tears fell. He hugged Shi Hong and shouted, "Brother!"
"What's wrong?" Shi Hong was a little surprised. He also hugged Zhang Deng and stretched his head to look at Zhang Deng's face. "Are you crying? What are you crying for?"
Shi Hongdao: "I told you long ago, if you have any problems, just come to me."
