112 My Wish
◎So noisy, just like her heartbeat◎
Hearing the seriousness in Qingqing's words, Qi Qiuxue cooperated with her and calmed down even though she had many questions in her mind.
So Qingqing opened her mouth again and explained everything she wanted to say to her——
"Meng Yiyue and Wu Xiyin are not system-generated NPCs. Instead, they are spirits forcibly dragged into the dungeon by the game."
"Including me." Qingqing frowned unconsciously at the pain of the shattering, but she continued without slowing down. "Time flows differently in the real world and the dungeon world. We've been here for a long, long time before you entered the dungeon."
“Adapt to life in the old world and learn how to become a qualified NPC, waiting for players to enter the game.”
"Perhaps before you started the game, the system gave you different choices." Qingqing surprisingly knew everything. "Either you choose to complete the mission and fight alongside the old humans, or you choose to become new humans and clear the dungeon directly."
"The latter is certainly much easier than the former, but it actually comes with a hidden condition, not imposed on the players, but on us. If you choose the first path, all three of us will die, especially Meng Yiyue. She's already dead, and now her soul will be shattered."
"But even if you choose the second option, we will be subject to many restrictions: we cannot help you, we cannot reveal any information we know, and we cannot even reveal our identities to you. Otherwise, we will die, the game difficulty will increase exponentially, and the probability of you getting into danger will increase infinitely."
"Fortunately, everything is over now." Qingqing smiled and said in a casual tone, "Meng Yiyue and Wu Xiyin will be fine. You have also successfully completed the dungeon. What is the rating you received? An A?"
"A+." Qi Qiuxue said.
"Great." Qingqing praised sincerely, "That's great."
"What about you?" Qi Qiuxue didn't continue her words. Her eyes swept over her legs that were about to disappear, and her tone was no longer as calm as before. "What are you going to do?"
Qingqing didn't respond, but asked her inexplicably: "Axue, maybe you are curious about who I am, right?"
"I am also Li Yiqing." Before Qi Qiuxue could speak, she answered her own question, "Or rather, I am the embodiment of her deliberately taken away memories."
"Before becoming a god, she was once human, and I am the only one who can prove she was once human." Perhaps sensing that she had revealed even more hidden information, the fragmentation accelerated again. Realizing that time was running out, Qingqing skipped the relevant explanation and only spoke of the most crucial part, "This is reincarnation, Axue. Because of Li Yiqing's wish, the gods took away her memories and personally adjusted the world line, restarting the game!"
"Forgive me for not being able to tell you more. I am an incomplete being. I can no longer remember many things, but there is one thing, one thing..."
"The last copy, live towards death!" She stared intently into Qi Qiuxue's eyes, as if to carve these words into her soul. "Remember, live towards death!"
"Crash!" A sound like breaking glass was heard, and Qingqing's body shattered into countless transparent fragments of different sizes in front of Qi Qiuxue. They were blown away by a strong wind that suddenly blew outside the window and melted into the air that could not be seen or grasped.
Qi Qiuxue's mind went blank for a moment at this moment. She looked down at her hands. Her fingers were still bent and her palms were tightened, as if she was trying to grab something, but there was clearly nothing there.
Qingqing disappeared, as if she had never been there.
“…”
"Axue." After an unknown amount of time, Li Yiqing walked up and squatted in front of her. "We..."
"Are you God?" Qi Qiuxue interrupted her and looked up into her eyes.
Li Yiqing noticed that she was angry, perhaps because of Qingqing's disappearance, or perhaps because of her own concealment. After staring at each other for a few seconds, she nodded gently: "Yes."
"Clearing all dungeons will make you a god, right?"
"Um."
"Li Yiqing." Qi Qiuxue stood up and raised her hand to grab Li Yiqing's collar. Her mind was in a mess at the moment, but as calm as Qi Qiuxue, every word she asked was clear. "Did you know Qingqing's identity from the beginning?"
"No." Li Yiqing shook her head and cooperated with Qi Qiuxue to answer all her questions. "I only found out later."
"Due to restrictions, she did not take the initiative to reveal her identity, but I quickly recognized that she was me. How could someone not recognize themselves?" said Li Yiqing.
"You knew she was going to die in the end."
"I guessed it."
"What about you?" Qi Qiuxue frowned, and the strength in her hands also tightened. "Since you are her and she is you, if we encounter such a situation again in the future, do you also want to die for me?!"
"I want to do everything for Axue." Li Yiqing looked straight into her eyes, his tone surprisingly calm.
"I don't need it." Qi Qiuxue opened her lips to deny her words, and said word by word, "I can survive with my own strength. I don't need you or anyone else to sacrifice for me."
"Axue, are you worried about me?" After saying that, Li Yiqing laughed.
Qi Qiuxue was silent for a few seconds, then threw off her collar. This was the first time she had experienced such a big emotional fluctuation since entering the dungeon. She was fooled. All the players, even their relatives, lovers, and friends, were all manipulated by the system, the game, and the so-called main god.
If they hadn't chosen the second path...
Qi Qiuxue understood the Lord God's thoughts. She wanted to see them struggling in the copy, wanted to see everyone taking the risk of extinction, and whether they would sacrifice themselves and compromise for the people they loved. She wanted to see how they would choose and what kind of consequences they would face in the end.
This is exactly the purpose of her setting up the game.
"I know what my wish is now." After a long silence, Qi Qiuxue spoke softly, communicating with the system in her head, "As long as I successfully pass all the dungeons, whatever wish I make will come true, right?"
Yes. The system appeared quickly.
"I want this game to end completely. That's my wish," Qi Qiuxue said. "I don't want to see anyone else being toyed with, trampled upon, or lose their life."
[Okay, I'll take note of your wish.]
Unexpectedly, the system did not make any rebuttal.
[You can only have one wish. Simply ending the game may not achieve the result you want.]
There was a hint of smile in its cold voice, as if it had seen through everything long ago, and it stood in a higher dimension, looking down at humans arrogantly.
"Then add another wish." Somewhat unexpectedly, Li Yiqing followed up, "If I can successfully complete the game, I hope everyone can survive and no more innocent people will die."
[Are you helping Qi Qiuxue? ]
The system's voice quickly turned serious.
[The Lord God has stipulated that gods cannot interfere with or help players too much in the game. This is a serious dereliction of duty and you will be punished!]
[I will inform the Lord God of everything that happened.]
As the system disappeared, countless alarms instantly rang out in Li Yiqing's mind, like endless pop-up windows on a computer interface. Each sound came from all directions, telling her over and over again: [Li Yiqing has been severely derelict in his duty and will be punished soon!]
[Warning, warning! Li Yiqing has seriously neglected his duties, seriously neglected his duties!]
It was so loud, just like her heartbeat.
Li Yiqing silently placed her hand on her chest, feeling the regular and powerful beating there. When Qingqing, who carried her memories, completely disappeared, Li Yiqing not only heard the sound of heart breaking, but also heard her own heartbeat.
She clearly didn't operate it, but her heart seemed to have a life of its own, beating again and again, waking up from her chest.
"Axue." Li Yiqing raised her lips, and looked at Qi Qiuxue in front of her with her heartbeat and warning sound. She raised her foot forward under Qi Qiuxue's gaze, took her hand, placed it on her chest, covered her hand with her palm, and tightened it silently.
After a long time, she took out a brand new talisman from her backpack and fulfilled her promise with Qi Qiuxue as usual.
She smiled and looked into her eyes, her tone soft.
"Axue, see you in the next dungeon."
