Chapter 102 The Key to Breaking the Situation
Perhaps he dreamed about something at night because after he fell asleep in Chu Xihen's arms, he began to have a nightmare.
In the dream, Bai Jinli described to him the scene of Chu Xihen's death from illness.
Chu Xihen was lying weakly on the bed, with an oxygen mask on his pale face. He stood beside the bed, holding Chu Xihen's hand. He wanted to hold it tightly but didn't dare to use force. He could only watch the other's life slip away bit by bit. Finally, he dropped his hand powerlessly and left him cruelly.
"Xihen!" Lou Su woke up from his nightmare and opened his eyes suddenly.
It was still dark, and Chu Xihen was hugging Lou Su with his eyes closed, resting. Sensing his abnormality, she also opened her eyes.
"What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?" There was sweat on Lou Sujun's face and he was still breathing heavily. It seemed that he was very scared.
Without saying a word, Lou Su put his arms around Chu Xihen's neck and leaned over to kiss him on the lips, as if to prove that the person who left him in the dream was really in front of him and not an illusion.
Chu Xihen also hugged him and responded enthusiastically.
After the kiss, both of them were a little breathless.
Lou Su had no desire to sleep anymore, so he got up and sat next to Chu Xihen, holding him in his arms.
"I dreamed that you were sick." Lou Su frowned and spoke reluctantly.
He didn't say much about the content of his dream, but the scene kept replaying in his mind over and over again. He remembered every detail clearly, as if he had really experienced it himself.
"Don't old people say that dreams are the opposite of what they really are? The fact that you dreamed of me being sick means that I won't be sick." Chu Xihen comforted her.
He knew that Lou Su cared a lot about what Bai Jinli said, and he would also think about it over and over again if he were in her shoes. However, he had just fallen asleep and had a nightmare that woke him up, which was somewhat inconsistent with Lou Su's strong psychological quality.
"I'm scared." Lou Su looked more vulnerable than Chu Xihen had ever seen before. "I'm afraid that day will come and I won't be able to save you. I can only watch you and can't do anything..."
Lou Su did not allow others to say these words in front of him, but he himself had to admit his own incompetence and inner helplessness.
"Impossible." Chu Xihen held his hand, "If that day comes, you can go back in time and save me."
Lou Su regretted, "Yes, why didn't I go back in time to save you in my dream just now?"
Chu Xihen chuckled, "Okay, stop dwelling on it."
However, as someone who has been plagued by nightmares for many years, he can understand Lou Su's current mood.
Lou Su still cares a lot and wishes he could go back to his dream and bring Chu Xihen back to life. He won't allow Chu Xihen to die in front of him, not even in a dream!
It's a pity that his time rewinding is still too weak in reality. The time he can rewind for a single target is only one minute, and if he selects multiple targets at the same time, the time will be even shorter.
It is very effective in preventing accidents from happening, but it is still a long way from changing the inevitable facts.
If we want to prevent Chu Xihen from dying of illness, we need to go back in time to the time before he left the institute, which would be at least ten years.
Even if he could go back so long, if Chu Xihen went back to ten years ago, he would just be walking the same path again...
The more Lou Su thought about it, the more despair he became. It felt like his chest was sealed by Hu Yaoyao with concrete, and he could hardly breathe.
"It's okay. I've lived to this day and I won't give up easily." Seeing that Lou Su couldn't slow down for a long time, Chu Xihen spoke to comfort him again.
Originally he only had the thought of living, and he was able to walk through all the thorns. Moreover, now that he has Lou Su by his side, he will never bow to fate.
Even if he falls ill again, with his previous experience of enduring the disease for five or six years, and now that he has superpowers and friends who truly care about him, he should be able to endure the disease for another fifty or sixty years, right?
"When you complete the game, why don't you make a wish for good health?" Lou Su thought of this question again.
Chu Xihen made a wish to delay the end of the world, which seemed to save the world, but the infinite game restricted his supernatural powers, so that he might kill some people whenever he used his supernatural powers, which meant that he didn't get any benefit at all.
"Actually, I did." Chu Xihen hugged Lou Su tightly, "I'm not as great as you think. My own life is a mess, how can I care about the life and death of others? But my wish to live was rejected."
Lou Su's heart shuddered when he heard this, "My wish was rejected?"
What does this mean?
This means that even the infinite game world cannot allow Chu Xihen to survive. Is this the so-called power of the plot?
Because Chu Xihen was a cannon fodder who died early, no matter how hard he tried he couldn't change the outcome?
"Then I made a wish to make the apocalypse disappear, but it was rejected again. The reason was that the apocalypse could not disappear. It could only be delayed for half a year at most. I bargained with that thing for a long time and only postponed it for two years." Chu Xihen was a little angry. Who knew that he would have to use his special powers to exchange for just two short years!
"What a rubbish game!" Lou Su didn't know what to say, so he could only imitate Ling Yao's helpless rage.
"That's right!" Chu Xihen also echoed.
He squeezed Lou Su's slender fingers again, "Although the game is rubbish, we cannot deny that I am still alive because of it, so don't despair. As long as I am not dead now, we can change the future, right?"
"Well, I'm not hopeless anymore." Lou Su said firmly.
Chu Xihen himself remains optimistic, so how could he be defeated by his own incompetence?
Your ability level is not high enough? Then upgrade it quickly. If turning back the time of Chu Xihen alone cannot change the facts, then turn back the time of the entire world!
"Let's not wait until dawn. Say goodbye to Jiang Zang and the others, and let Ling Yao take us directly to Jing City to find the Taoist priest." Lou Su suddenly became excited.
Chu Xihen looked at him speechlessly, "Shouldn't we just find a place to retire instead of looking for a Taoist priest?"
He was relieved that Lou Su was no longer emo, but he still couldn't forget that Taoist priest, which made him a little upset!
"No, I just thought of something." Lou Su explained: "Remember the first time we met? I was a little absent-minded at the time and bumped into you at the entrance of the mall."
"Remember, you left after you apologized." Chu Xihen said. He suspected that Lou Su didn't even see what he looked like at that time, but he couldn't forget Lou Su's face.
Lou Su nodded, "Because before I bumped into you, the Taoist priest told me a lot of things about the end of the world and supernatural powers. When my mind was in a mess, he told me to keep going forward and that I would find the answer as long as I didn't look back."
Chu Xihen said nothing, waiting for Lou Su's next words.
Lou Su continued, "After I bumped into you, I continued walking forward, and then I saw Wan Ming and Han Chong fighting. One of them had extraordinary strength, and the other was extremely fast, which immediately reminded me of the supernatural powers that the Taoist priest mentioned."
Then he took the two people back, provided them with food and shelter, and the three of them trained together to prepare for the arrival of the end of the world.
"Ah...then the answer you were looking for was killed by me." Chu Xihen said in a weird tone.
Lou Su smiled, "After understanding their personalities, I know they are not that kind of people. But they are at least the first group to awaken their superpowers. I wonder if we can still take care of each other if the end of the world really comes?"
But even though he knew that Han Chong and Wan Ming were not the answers mentioned by the Taoist priest, he never thought that Chu Xihen would be.
So he had to find the Taoist priest as soon as possible, maybe he was the key to their breakthrough!
