Chapter 183 Main World 01 Starting Over
Even though Lu Huai felt that his performance in this world did not satisfy him.
Even though the storyline is used as a reference, many details are still not clearly worked out.
He felt a little upset that his grasp of the role might not be accurate enough.
But in the end, he and 0359 completed the mission and won the final battle.
Lu Huai had always considered himself a Buddhist, but no matter how positive his attitude, facing successive failures, he was still overwhelmed by the invisible pressure of the main system. Especially since it wasn't just him who had to bear the consequences, but also his closest comrade, Xiaojiu.
Until now, after exiting the small world, I don’t have to worry about being OOC anymore, and I don’t have to worry too much.
He and 0359 smiled at each other, and then sat down on the lawn in the space of consciousness like bones, breathing in the fresh and free air.
At this moment, the heavy rock that had been hanging in the air finally fell.
Lu Huai covered his chest with his hands, his heart beating vigorously, making him clearly feel his own existence.
He could have stopped there and not revisited the complicated experiences in the small world, but Lu Huai still liked to dig deep.
Just as he plays every "role", he has to carefully study his past experiences, experience emotions, and figure out the state of such a character in different situations.
He still has many questions in his mind.
For example, how did those people in the technological dimension break down the barriers between the worlds and allow two planes that were originally parallel to be combined together in defiance of the laws, and what secrets are hidden in it?
For example, what will be the fate of the indigenous peoples of the two worlds?
Adaptation itself is painful. Even humanity, the creator of the universe, took millions of years to complete its evolution. When different power systems and civilizations collide in an instant, intense pain is inevitable.
Especially for ordinary people, they need to break the stable state overnight and accept the cruel reality that those who follow the trend will prosper, while those who go against the trend will perish.
In Lu Huai's view, technological civilization, that is, the real society connected by "games", has made the rules of the survival of the fittest less cruel.
Now that a powerful being has emerged that possesses powers beyond cognition, innocent ordinary people are forced to face the more primitive side of human nature.
Lu Huai also thought of the people who were closely connected to him.
What about Jon, who is all alone? What about the two hostile gods of Cenolanth?
Where should they go?
He ended this journey so abruptly, before he got the answer.
It's like a fragment of music that comes to an abrupt end in a concert hall, the lingering sound is full of regret.
But there is no way.
Lu Huai closed his eyes, and scenes from the past flashed through his mind. He couldn't delete them, nor did he want to delete them.
The only thing he can control is himself.
His breathing, his pulse, even if the years pass and the world changes.
Looking up at the stars and the moon hanging high in the sky, they are so quiet and distant.
As luck would have it, at this moment, 0359 had gotten up to apply for settlement and was not by his side.
Lu Huai was the only one left on the vast lawn, and he suddenly felt very lonely.
He realized more clearly that only he himself could accompany him through the journey of this life.
Just like after the Samsara Company set him free, his work partner Xiaojiu will also have a new partner, and when he returns to where he came from, his state of mind will probably be completely different, and when facing the people from the past, he may not be able to go back to the past.
In the next few days, Lu Huai was busy with the procedures.
It was just completely different from the impatience he had imagined before completing the task. He hoped that the process would not go so fast and that he could spend more time with 0359.
But all good things must come to an end.
At the moment of parting, 0359 blinked his big, KISS ME eyes and stuffed his already full backpack until it was almost bursting.
Lu Huai knew that his points weren't enough to buy so many. It must have been the greedy 0359 who had cut off some of his own "flesh" and dug a lot out of its own coffers to give him. It was always stingy, and who knew how many points it had squandered this time.
He shook his head, resisting the urge to cry, and pretended to be nonchalant and refused: "Xiaojiu, I don't have a big house in real life. There is no room for these flowers, plants, birds, rabbits, cats and dogs to live in."
"Keep it for yourself, or give it to your colleagues behind you to decorate their consciousness space."
0359 said firmly: "Huaihuai, with your ability, you will have a big house sooner or later."
"You are the superstar in my mind. You will definitely become a huge star. I would not want to give these things to anyone else except you. No one else deserves it."
"Huaihuai, when I go on a mission next time, I will try my best to visit you in your world."
"We agreed to meet again, okay?" The ending tone of 0359 trembled, and some emotions could not be hidden and rushed out.
Lu Huai also went against his original intention of leaving quickly and hugged the small system.
Tears welled up in the corners of his eyes, and his black eyes seemed as clear and distinct as if washed by a spring, and his beauty was even more imprinted in 0359's eyes.
"Okay, but my hair might be all white by then, so I hope Xiaojiu won't fail to recognize me."
0359 sobbed reluctantly, "I will always recognize you first, Huaihuai."
--------------------------------------------------
Lu Huai walked through a very long corridor, so long that he almost thought the road had no end.
After an unknown amount of time, he was enveloped by a strong light. When he could see his surroundings clearly again, a sense of familiarity came over him.
A small but cozy room decorated in blue, it was the apartment that had accompanied him for more than two years.
Returning to the bedroom he hadn't visited for a long time, he felt a little strange even when he picked up the cup for washing.
He has been jumping back and forth between the ancient and modern worlds, so much so that when he returns to his own territory, he feels unable to distinguish between reality and illusion.
Lu Huai habitually wanted to share his feelings with 0359.
But after calling twice, there was no one around.
He suddenly realized that the mission of the small system to accompany him to complete the task had ended.
Life is a journey, and there will always be a time to say goodbye. Lu Huai warned himself: There will be no 0359 to accompany him in the future, and he has to get used to this mode of being alone.
But he still couldn't help missing 0359, especially when he was alone and quiet.
Lu Huai felt that maybe he should find something to do to divert his attention.
"Is this me?"
Lu Huai raised his eyes and looked at himself in the mirror, his fingers vaguely tracing the familiar yet unfamiliar face.
He looked as young as ever, handsome and beautiful, his lips like lacquer, his eyes like cold stars, his features like a meticulously crafted work of art. It was his, without any other appearance.
Unfortunately, the owner of this body changed into a more experienced soul at the age of 23.
Lu Huai gained the long-lost freedom:
He doesn't need to play anyone anymore, and there is not even a plot line to "teach" him what to do. He just needs to be himself without worry.
But this made him feel confused.
Lu Huai also asked himself and found that he had not talked to himself for a long time. Who was he?
At this moment, the cell phone thrown on the desk rang crisply. Lu Huai stopped thinking and walked out of the bathroom to answer the phone.
The call belonged to his agent.
The agent's name is Lou Que. When Lu Huai first heard someone calling him that, he thought it was "Lou Que". He also lamented that the names of the people in this company all sounded scholarly.
Later I found out that it was the "缺" which means immoral.
Lou Que was on the other end of the phone, clearly a bit anxious, and the first thing he said was, "Little ancestor, can you please stop being so stubborn?"
"We've been arguing with Young Master Wei for so long, are we really planning to be put on ice?"
When this name was mentioned, some bad memories were quickly awakened, flooding into my mind like a tide, occupying the originally spacious space.
Lu Huai narrowed his eyes and tightened his knuckles around the phone.
Meanwhile, Lou Que was still trying to persuade himself:
"I say the same thing, Xiao Lu. You have to understand that if an amateur like you wants to make a name for yourself, you have to have someone to rely on."
"Looking around the entire industry, there's simply no one else who can look like you. Your natural talents are beyond the reach of many people. If you were stuck like this, wouldn't it be a shame to die?"
"With just a nod from you, and considering Young Master Wei's devotion to you, what resources are there for you? Don't you love acting the most? All the top resources in our company are at your disposal..."
"You're just lucky to have been favored by our boss. If you want to wade into the murky waters of the entertainment industry, you'll never be able to get away with it. Those wealthy investors and sponsors are no pushovers. Some of them might even lose their lives if you send them there."
"Compared to them..."
"Haven't you said enough?" Lu Huai said calmly.
Then, his slender fingers, like a work of art, pressed the phone and decisively turned it to silent mode.
In an instant, the world fell into comfortable silence.
When Lou Que heard that Lu Huai didn't respond for a long time, he realized that the other party might not be listening even if he talked for a long time. He could no longer keep up the pretense of being gentle and hung up the phone in frustration.
Lu Huai didn't take it seriously and casually scrolled through the short videos. When he saw a good one, he generously gave it a three-click like.
Although he has personally performed many "scripts", he couldn't help laughing at some of the outrageous plots. After all, he didn't have to act out the scenes himself, but someone else performed them for him. How could this not be a kind of relaxation?
After a while, a message popped up on the top of the phone. "Fifteen million in liquidated damages, you can't afford it even if you sell yourself. There are plenty of beautiful young stars out there."
"If you miss this opportunity, you'll never get it again. If Young Master Wei completely loses his patience with you, you'll never make a name for yourself in your life!"
Someone's furious look appeared on the screen. Lu Huai regretted not turning off the pop-up message, which ruined his mood for entertainment.
"Are you sick? It's really endless."
He felt a slight headache, so he turned off his phone and gently rubbed his temples. Then he stood up and silently poured himself a glass of water.
The missing building is an opportunity.
Lu Huai found that he still had a lot of messes to clean up. He lamented that he didn't seem to have grown much after this experience, and he was still as upset as before when facing these things.
Reminded by this phone call, Lu Huai quickly realized his situation.
Some people and things will never be solved if they are not dealt with. At that moment, he knew what he had to do.
As for what his past status was, he was probably an 18th-tier actor with simple interpersonal relationships.
From the first time he saw a film or TV work, Lu Huai knew that he longed to become those people on the screen.
His friends also support him and think he is born for this job.
Unfortunately, no one was doing related work, so when Lou Que extended an olive branch to him, Lu Huai glanced at the contract, thought it was okay, and did not refuse, and then got on board.
He was still too young.
I didn't realize that behind every gift there was already a price tag, and I foolishly thought that I was being recognized. Later I realized that there had to be a price to pay, otherwise society would teach me a lesson.
The upper class is really good at blocking the news.
Lu Huai didn't know that the Wei Group's film and television company was actually a brothel that signed beautiful young stars as pimps. He could only rely on the information he had collected and thought that this was a good place to go.
Then I was taught a lesson.
However, he vaguely remembered that there was someone who had been dissuading him from going, but when asked who this person was, Lu Huai couldn't remember clearly.
It was as if an eraser had been rubbed around his storage, and he might have forgotten something that was very important to him.
I can only think about it slowly.
Even though he had persisted in resisting capital for so long, the pervert Wei Shiyu still had no intention of letting him go.
Still like a ghost, it clung to him tightly, threatening him to either die or agree to it.
Lu Huai usually hates being forced, so he would rather live a simple life, playing minor roles, taking unknown, low-paying advertisements to save up the penalty to escape his control.
But Wei Shiyu and Lou Que had set him up, getting him drunk and forcing him to sign the contract while he was half asleep, and he almost lost his virginity.
He still couldn't forget how that feminine, pale, rich young man, his boss, had gazed at him with obsessive greed. That sickly gaze was like the tongue of some animal, licking every inch of his skin stickily and wetly.
I also remember that in the high-end hotel with ambiguous fragrance, Wei Shiyu opened his clothes to reveal a large and muscular chest, and there was a ghostly look in his dark pupils, perhaps because of the alcohol, which stained them with a little scarlet.
"Come on, hit me."
"You can be pressed by me or press me, I want you, Lu Huai."
He handed him the thick whip, and urged the drugged Lu Huai to "punish" him.
The soft voice was bewitching: "Be mine, I can give you anything."
"I don't want...stay away from me..."
Lu Huai felt nauseous, and the food and the wine he had drunk were bubbling up in his stomach.
It was raining heavily that day. Lu Huai rolled and crawled outside. He vaguely remembered someone chasing him, so he just kept running for his life.
After an unknown amount of time, he lost consciousness. The last thing he saw before his eyelids closed was a pair of black leather shoes in the rain, belonging to no one.
When I woke up...I was already at home.
So Lu Huai made up his mind to stay away from them.
However, most of those enthusiastic predecessors and directors who admired him, under the pressure of the Wei family, tearfully withdrew the olive branches that were extended to them.
All he could get were those thankless, small Karami roles that were screened out by someone and didn't even show his face.
Lu Huai had indeed struggled for a long time and discovered that the sky-high penalty for breach of contract was indeed a bottomless pit that an ordinary person like him could not see the end of.
But now, he had a plan in mind, holding the blank check that 0359 had obtained for him from the Lord God before leaving.
Lu Huai tapped on his phone, and after sending the message, the corners of his mouth kept rising, and he looked cunning like a cat stealing some fish.
"Tomorrow morning, I will come to the company to terminate the contract."
