Chapter 45
Morofushi Kagemitsu and Kudo Shinichi both looked as if they were worried about something. How could Oda Sakunosuke and Huang Hun not notice it?
The players were supposed to be on the same side, but two of them were distracted by other things and clearly concealed important information. In order to win the game, Huang Hun and Oda Sakunosuke had to take some extraordinary measures.
In the previous cycle, the two placed a bug on Kudo Shinichi. Originally, they also wanted to place one on Morobushi Keimitsu, but Morobushi Keimitsu was always with Ling Yi. Whenever they wanted to get close to him, Ling Yi would look at them, so they finally gave up.
Although they failed to place a bug on Morobushi Kagemitsu, what they didn't expect was that Morobushi Kagemitsu and Kudo Shinichi had teamed up, and they overheard what the two discussed.
So after that, when Morofushi Kagemitsu and Kudo Shinichi were perfecting their plan, they found Ling Yi and tested Ling Yi's attitude.
After learning about Zhu Fu Jing Guang's plan, Ling Yi was silent for a long time, and finally said: "I will help you stop Jing Guang."
They chose to believe Ling Yi simply because they believed that someone who could be treated like this by Morobushi Jingguang was trustworthy.
In their plan, they had intended to wait for Zhu Fu Jingguang to take out the chip before coming out to stop him, but they did not expect an accident to happen suddenly. Ling Yi came to the underground laboratory at some point and stood with Zhu Fu Jingguang.
"My decision remains unchanged."
Ling Yi explained to them, and they observed Ling Yi's expression and saw his seriousness and determination, while Morofushi Kagemitsu next to him was full of surprise. Huang Hun and Oda Sakunosuke knew that they had misunderstood.
"Your method is not the only one." Oda Sakunosuke said.
"You already know?" Zhu Fu Jingguang looked at the blond-haired and dark-skinned young man next to him with a stern tone.
The blond young man spoke, his tone was the same as usual: "The chip is in Jingguang's hands, can you give it to me?"
"Toru..." Morofushi Jingguang understood what this meant. Did Zero decide to choose another path for him? But the road was so long, how could one person go on...
"I stayed here for too long, and almost dragged you into the darkness." The blond young man stared at him, his eyebrows and eyes as gentle as when they first met, "Jingguang, do you still remember the meaning of the two names Midorikawa Hikaru and Amuro Toru?"
If there is no Tou, the light cannot shine out. Then if the light is dim, Tou will lose its meaning. So let the light remain in your heart and accompany Tou forward.
Morobushi Jingguang was bitter, for he could not do anything for Zero, for Zero's decision, for the path Zero would take in the future, and for the fact that he could not refuse Zero's request at this time...
Zhu Fu Jingguang took out the chip and slowly handed it to Ling. Ling looked at him, with a glimmer in his purple-gray eyes. Then his fingers tightened, and the chip carrying all the hard work of the organization shattered and disintegrated in an instant. Everything was over...
[I burst into tears for the relationship between Keimitsu and Toruko]
[Kagemitsu wanted to sacrifice himself for Tohko, but Tohko finally got out of trouble because of Kagemitsu]
[My tear point is low, and the game tricked me into crying]
[And Conan, who kept answering the phone by the window. When Shinichi finally told him it was time to end, I couldn't stop crying.]
[I can’t help but empathize with you. When a loved one passed away, I couldn’t get over it for a long time. It was like I was stuck in a cycle. I always felt like that person was still around.]
[It's a pity that I didn't get to see Keimitsu's resurrection, but it's the best ending for Tohko and Conan to get out of this situation.]
The chip was destroyed, the organization's boss lost hope of resurrection, Rum was also controlled, and the system determined that the player's mission was completed. Just when 599 was about to announce the result of the game, a man with long silver hair appeared at this time.
Gin took in the chaos at the scene and instantly raised his gun. Ling Yi's body reacted subconsciously and stood in front of Zhufu Jingguang. The sound of bullets breaking through the air came, and Zhufu Jingguang's pupils shrank. He stretched out his hand and wanted to push the person in front of him away. However, before that, the picture in front of him became illusory and distorted. The players felt dazed for a moment and returned to the place where they first entered the game. However, although it was the same place, the scenery was not the same...
The resort island, which used to have pleasant scenery, has now turned into a charred black area. It is lifeless and looks like it has been completely destroyed by explosives...
[Am I stupid???]
【Who can tell me what this is like? 】
[Didn’t Conan say that the reason they entered the loop in the beginning was because the entire resort was blown up, and now the loop has ended, so everything has returned to the starting point]
[No, Toruko and Conan just got out of the cycle, why did it turn out like this?]
[I totally cannot accept Wuwuwu, I hope to see the organization destroyed, and Toruko become Furuya Rei again. Although the good friend who once traveled with him is no longer by his side, he has turned into light and will remain in his heart forever, accompanying him as he moves forward.]
[I cried. I hope that Conan will turn back into Shinichi, and then go to the hospital to visit Ran, holding her hand and telling her about his experience as Conan. Although the doctor said that there is little hope for Ran to wake up, I, Shinichi, am blessed by the protagonist's halo. Ran will open her eyes one day and say to Shinichi: Big fool...]
[I couldn’t help myself after what I said before. I really hope that what you said is true.]
[My tears are worthless, I hope the game can save the world]
The deserted resort in front of them also made the players feel heavy-hearted, and they completely lost the joy of completing the game.
Morofu Jingguang stared at the ruins of the resort in front of him. It took him a long time to find his voice and ask the game system: "Will this place... always be like this?"
Since the game allows them to participate in the affairs of this world, can it also save this world?
This copy is very special. When the resort was bombed and all the main characters died, the world stopped running. Those who have been wandering here, or trapped here, are those with strong obsessions. Now that the game is over, the obsession that drives the cycle has dissipated, and the players return, what they see is naturally the final ending of this world.
However, it is not easy to save this world, because although the physical time of this world has ended, the obsessions of the protagonists are still circulating forward. If you want to go back to this world, you must first go back to the countless cycle times, and this undoubtedly requires a lot of energy. With the experience of the last time, 599 looked at Ling Yi eagerly.
Ling Yi looked at the bullet screen that kept flashing across the screen, with a faint smile on his face. He said, "It will take time."
After all, that period of time trapped in the cycle was a bit long, but when they leave, this place will be slowly healed by hope sooner or later.
[The world will be restored.] 599 responded to Morobushi Kagemitsu's question, and also explained the players' game completion status and allowed players to participate in the lottery.
Oda Sakunosuke looked at the slot machine that suddenly appeared in front of him, his expression a little dazed. He was about to return to the original world. Before entering the game, he and Andre shot each other at the same time. It should be impossible to save them, but he was able to do something meaningful before dying, so he had no regrets...
Huang Hun actually has doubts about the game. After all, the world he knows is still in line with real science. Now that the slot machine appears out of nowhere, his worldview is shaken again. What kind of rewards will the game give? Is there really a superpower that exceeds the limits of human beings?
Huang Hun couldn't help but think about it, and felt that he was a little naive.
Because even if super powers really exist, they cannot appear in his world. Just like at the beginning of the game, the system prohibits players from using non-scientific means. This means that any world has a constant, and power that exceeds the world's tolerance is not allowed.
Therefore, the only rewards he could expect were probably a handy weapon, or a game that could help him further improve his physical fitness...
Huang Hun thought about this and pulled the lever. The slot machine's screen started to roll. Some unclear images flashed before his eyes, and finally froze into three treasure chests with the same patterns.
[Congratulations to player Huang Hun for obtaining the skill treasure chest! ]
Skill treasure chest? Huang Hun's expression was a little confused. What is a skill? Is it a skill that can enhance shooting and fighting skills? Or... He suddenly remembered Joel's unique cooking skills, or a skill that can enhance the level of cooking?
Huang Hun, who was constantly guessing in his mind, reached out and opened the treasure chest. The same pink light as Anya's hair was reflected from the treasure chest. At the same time, he also saw clearly what was in the treasure chest - mind reading.
Mind reading??? Can such a thing exist in his world?
【Why is Huang Hun stunned? 】
[What did you draw? I'm so curious! ]
[The system said it was a skill treasure chest]
[Is it some weird skill? ]
[My blind guess is that it might be mind reading, right?]
[If it is mind reading, then wouldn't it mean that we can read each other's minds?]
[That should be fun, I really want to eat the melons there]
"It seems that there are supernatural powers in your world as well." Seeing the barrage, Oda Sakunosuke next to him suddenly spoke. He and Huang Hun had a lot of exchanges in the game, and they also understood each other's world.
Huang Hun also noticed the content on the barrage. Although he found it a little hard to believe, the meaning of the barrage was very clear, that is, there was someone in his world who could use mind reading, and that person knew him.
There was actually such a person around him, and he hadn't discovered it yet. If it was an enemy with bad intentions, wouldn't his identity have been exposed? Huang Hun's expression became cold, and he suddenly felt very fortunate to have been chosen by this mysterious game. No matter who that person was, he would find him out when he returned...
After calming down, Huang Hun looked at Oda Sakunosuke beside him and asked in confusion, "Aren't you going to participate in the lottery?"
Oda Sakunosuke looked at the slot machine in front of him and said, "I may not be able to use it anymore."
"Let's give it a try. After all, this game is magical." Huang Hun said.
【Wuwuwu, Odasaku, don’t give up】
[Let’s have a lottery, let’s have a lottery, what if you win a resurrection item?]
[Don't wait, you will definitely get the resurrection item! ]
[Don't wait, you will definitely get the resurrection item! ]
[Don't wait, you will definitely get the resurrection item! ]
Oda Sakunosuke was shocked by the sudden barrage of messages that flooded the screen, and a warm feeling arose from the bottom of his heart. Although he did not know the identities of the people behind those words, he truly felt their sincerity and kindness.
As a way of repaying the kindness he received, Oda Sakunosuke also started the lottery. The screen of the slot machine spun and then slowly stopped, and a treasure chest different from the one in the evening appeared in front of him.
【Congratulations to player Oda Sakunosuke for obtaining the item treasure chest! 】
【Wow, it really is a treasure chest! 】
[Seeking truth resurrection props, a believer is willing to eat vegetarian food for three days to fulfill his vow]
【Seeking the resurrection props, a believer is willing to eat vegetarian food for a week to fulfill her vow】
[Seeking a resurrection item, this believer is willing to fail in ten consecutive draws next time, wuwuwu]
Oda Sakunosuke opened the treasure chest, and a green light reflected on his stunned face. It really was a resurrection item...
Curious viewers couldn't help but swipe their screens to ask, and Oda Saku responded, "It's a resurrection tool."
The barrage was so exciting that it seemed like he had won a prize. Oda Sakunosuke looked at the content that was scrolling by and said, "Thank you."
Oda Sakunosuke does not believe in coincidences, nor does he believe that he has such luck. He thinks that he was able to draw the resurrection item because of the blessings of the audience behind the scenes.
System Space 599 was also puzzled by this, because every player drew the reward that best suited them, which was almost impossible based on probability. Was there a bug in the system?
Ling Yi looked at the flickering data light ball of 599, smiled but said nothing, without explaining.
The only ones who hadn't drawn a prize yet were Kudo Shinichi and Morofushi Kagemitsu. When 599 said that the world could be restored, their heavy hearts relaxed. Although they had only known the people in this world for a short time, it was an unforgettable experience for them and the biggest gain of their trip, so they didn't care much about what prize they could win.
Kudo Shinichi pulled the lever of the slot machine and got a treasure chest. After opening it and seeing what was inside, he couldn't help but be stunned. Although he didn't care what he could get, this thing... made him feel complicated.
"A bottle of APTX4859 antidote." Kudo Shinichi responded to the barrage of inquiries.
[A box of antidote, can be taken for a long time]
[Shinichi can't use it now]
[You can give Conan one as a gift]
[I feel like everyone's rewards are all appropriate, and I'm suddenly looking forward to Jingguang's reward]
[Look forward to Jingguang's reward +1]
When Kudo Shinichi was drawing prizes, Morobushi Kagemitsu also got a treasure chest. After seeing the content on the bullet screen, he opened the treasure chest. A purple light shone out. He was stunned for a moment before he said the name of the item inside: "Rebirth Item..."
