She slowly turned her head and looked out the window.
The night was as dark as ink, so deep it seemed capable of swallowing everything.
The ticking of the clock was exceptionally clear in the room. She glanced at the time—12:20 a.m.
The television screen was still lit, and an urgent news report was being broadcast, the anchor's voice unusually hurried:
"A large number of deaths have occurred globally, primarily affecting people aged 15 to 40. Authorities are urgently investigating the cause. Citizens are urged to remain calm and avoid going out..."
Yu Xiangnan stared at the screen, his mind blank.
Immediately afterwards, she stood up quickly, walked to the window, and opened it.
The sight outside made her hold her breath instantly.
The streets were brightly lit, but they were no longer the warm and lively places they used to be; instead, there was a mixture of chaos and panic.
The sounds of people shouting, crying, and car horns mingled together. Not long after, the sirens of ambulances could be heard in the distance.
"Buzz—buzz—"
Her phone suddenly started vibrating wildly.
Yu Xiangnan looked down and saw dozens of missed calls on the screen, all from her parents.
Breathing became difficult.
She tried to calm herself down and then pressed the answer button.
On the other end of the phone, a mother's trembling voice came through: "Nan Nan, where are you? Are you alright?"
Yu Xiangnan's heart tightened, and her throat felt like it was blocked. She gripped her phone tightly, her voice hoarse: "Mom, I'm fine. Where are you? I'm coming right away!"
“We’re at home, but it seems like things are chaotic outside. Your dad said that a lot of young people have suddenly fainted. I saw the news, and it seems like it’s not just happening here…” The mother’s voice was filled with barely suppressed fear.
"Don't be afraid, wait for me!"
Yu Xiangnan hung up the phone and immediately rushed out of the house.
The streets were in chaos. Yu Xiangnan didn't care about anything else and ran wildly towards home.
Finally, she saw her parents standing at the door, anxiously looking around.
"Dad! Mom!"
Yu Xiangnan rushed over and hugged them tightly, feeling their bodies trembling. "I'm sorry, I made you worry..."
Her mother gently patted her back, her voice trembling with tears: "My child, it's alright, it's alright."
Her father didn't say anything, he just patted her shoulder.
......
Half a day later.
Yu Xiangnan successfully returned to the real world, but he didn't feel much joy.
The news of Xiaobai's death weighed heavily on her chest, making it almost impossible for her to breathe. The remaining people, though still alive, all fell into a coma.
She was the only one who woke up, which made her the focus of everyone's attention.
The older reporters from the television station swarmed around her, microphones and cameras pointed at her, bombarding her with questions:
"What happened to you?"
"Why are you the only one who woke up?"
Could you elaborate on the situation of the other people?
"......"
Faced with a barrage of questions, Yu Xiangnan did not stop. With a blank expression, he strode through the crowd.
"Ms. Yu, please wait a moment! Could you reveal some details?"
The reporters were stunned for a moment, then tried to catch up, but she was extremely fast and quickly left them behind.
She only slowed her pace slightly when there was no one around.
The world has undergone tremendous changes.
......
It got dark very quickly.
Yu Xiangnan had calmed down and planned to go to the hospital to check on the situation when he suddenly felt someone following him with light and hurried footsteps.
She quickened her pace without making a sound and turned into a secluded alley.
Sure enough, a figure followed them in.
Yu Xiangnan stopped, turned around, and looked at the other person coldly.
It was a strange man, who looked to be in his forties, with a malicious smile on his face.
"You're the only one who woke up, there must be something special about you, right?" The man slowly approached, his tone threatening.
"What's special about it?"
Yu Xiangnan curled her lips into a cold smile. Just as the man pulled out his knife, she swiftly struck, delivering a clean and decisive grappling move that sent him sprawling to the ground.
The man cried out in pain, but before he could react, Yu Xiangnan had already stepped on his chest.
"Aaaaaah!!!"
Yu Xiangnan clapped his hands and turned to leave.
The world is no longer what it used to be.
She looked up at the night sky, where the stars were dim and scattered across the inky blackness.
This is an extremely familiar scene.
However, in games, such scenes can be simulated very easily, and even exaggerated.
It's not just the scenery, but also the people.
The next second, the personal information panel reappeared in front of me.

No wonder, that explains why...
The next second, a card book fell from the sky and was aimed at her head!
Yu Xiangnan raised his hand and steadily caught the card booklet.
The game continues...
At that moment, she understood.
Before the game invasion, why did someone appear out of nowhere like a reclusive master? After being killed by Wei Li, why was I able to return to the time before the game invasion? Why was I able to get a six-star item at the start, allowing me to have a smooth journey...?
This was the solution provided by the second-reversed Dragon in the previous tournament, and it was also his ideal ending.
All of this was destined long ago.
But now, it's her turn to rewrite the ending.
She wants to change all of this, and she's confident she can.
Those people shouldn't have died like that.
......
......
