113 Longing for Goodbye【Update 1】
◎Duplication 5 completed◎
Qi Qiuxue could not hear the warning in Li Yiqing's mind, but she could sense her abnormal state.
"Is something wrong?" The moment Li Yiqing withdrew her hand, she subconsciously grabbed the corner of her clothes.
"No." Li Yiqing looked up at her, and after a few seconds, he smiled and shook his head slowly, "It's time for us to leave the dungeon."
"Let's go." She took Qi Qiuxue's hand, and the two of them left the dilapidated hut and walked straight out. It was two or three in the afternoon, and the sun was shining brightly. Qi Qiuxue followed Li Yiqing all the way forward, accompanied by the warm sunshine and laughter all around them.
But inexplicably, Qi Qiuxue always had a strange feeling in her heart, and she even felt a chill.
"Ah Qing." She paused and confirmed with Li Yiqing again, "Nothing really happened, right?"
"Yes." Li Yiqing nodded, and his warm fingertips stroked the skin on her hands soothingly.
Qi Qiuxue met her gaze with a determined look. "We'll meet again in the next instance, right?"
Li Yiqing raised his lips again: "Of course."
Qi Qiuxue was silent for a few seconds, and finally chose to believe her words, and continued to walk forward.
"Well, I hope you can keep your promise."
“…”
Following the system's instructions, Qi Qiuxue raised her hand and pushed open the gate of the border wall. A white light flashed, and when she opened her eyes again, she had returned to the real world.
Qi Qiuxue felt it necessary to let Liu Ge and Wu Shanyue know about the matter of Meng Yiyue and Wu Xiyin, so she called Liu Ge and Wu Shanyue one after another and told them everything Qingqing had told her.
After Qi Qiuxue finished telling everything, there was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time. When they spoke again, Liu Ge and Wu Shanyue's reactions were surprisingly consistent.
Liu Ge: "Actually, I have a vague feeling about it."
Wu Shanyue: "There were many moments when I really saw the shadow of my mother in her."
Liu Ge: "She has always protected and cared for me. It was like this when Ah Yue was alive, and it was also like this after her death. Fortunately, we chose the second path, and fortunately, we successfully cleared the dungeon. Otherwise, without my knowledge, how much more pain would she have to endure..."
Wu Shanyue: "After I came out of the dungeon, I received a call from the nurse saying that Mom's old illness had relapsed. She had actually been in a coma for several hours. Fortunately, she has now regained consciousness. The doctor said that she is in good physical and mental health and is no longer seriously ill."
"After listening to everything Ah Xue told me, I realized it wasn't a relapse of an old illness. During those few hours of coma, Mom had actually been suffering in the dungeon. Time in the dungeon world flows at a different speed than time in the real world. A few short hours felt like an eternity."
"She didn't remember what happened in the copy, but the first thing she said after waking up was that she missed me."
Liu Ge: "Axue, I won't be with you in the next dungeon. I need to go back and talk to Ayue and sweep her grave."
Wu Shanyue: "Axue, I'm already on the bus back home to see my mom. We won't be together in the next instance. See you later."
"Okay." Qi Qiuxue didn't say much, just told them to be careful on the road.
After hanging up the phone, the room fell silent again.
Qi Qiuxue lay on the bed, quietly reviewing everything that had happened before.
——This is a cycle of reincarnation. It can be seen that this is not the first time that the Lord God has opened the game. In the last round of the game, the winner who finally cleared all the copies was Li Yiqing. Then she became a god and made a wish. After that, the Lord God took away her memory, and the world line was adjusted, returning to the beginning of the game. The contest between the player and the game began again.
Qi Qiuxue didn't know if there was a limit to the number of winners, nor could she guess what wish Li Yiqing had made. She was even a little curious about whether she had survived to the end of the last round of the game and what the ending was.
Did she and Li Yiqing know each other in the original world line? What was their relationship? Would Qingqing's appearance in the copy be the same as she used to be? Why did she, a human being, turn into a skeleton after becoming a god?
Qi Qiuxue unconsciously recalled the night when she entered the dungeon by chance. The skeleton that popped up on the screen was not her illusion, but Li Yiqing, the game she had pulled herself into.
For what purpose did she choose me? Was it a coincidence or destiny? What about those who failed to enter the game? What will be their final outcome?
“…”
There are too many questions that need her to verify.
Qi Qiuxue closed her eyes. At this point, even without the system forcing her, her thirst for knowledge would lead her to enter the dungeon again and again in order to get the answers to these questions. She would either survive to the end with a clear conscience, or die in confusion halfway.
Inexplicably, Qi Qiuxue suddenly felt somewhat fortunate. Fortunately, she had been alone since birth, free of any ties. Even if she disappeared from this world, she would not be a burden to anyone.
So, either ending is fine.
-
In the next few days, Qi Qiuxue was unable to contact Li Yiqing.
Whether it was the contact information she had left before or her other alias on the chat software, Qi Qiuxue tried to send many messages and made many phone calls, but did not get any response.
She seemed to have suddenly disappeared from this world, vanishing without a trace overnight.
It seems that something really happened.
Qi Qiuxue was panicked about this, but it was only for a moment, and she quickly calmed down. She believed that Li Yiqing could take care of himself and had enough ability to deal with all the difficulties. What's more, Li Yiqing had promised that they would meet again in the next copy.
She would keep her promise, and the talisman would definitely work as it should and bring Li Yiqing to her in good condition.
"It's almost time to enter the dungeon." Qi Qiuxue asked the system.
The system quickly popped up: [Yes.]
【You can enter the dungeon directly now if you want. 】
Qi Qiuxue: "How is Li Yiqing now?"
As if it had anticipated her question, the system smiled and said, "Sorry, I don't know either. Please forgive me, I can't give you any answers regarding Li Yiqing's questions."
It quickly skipped over the topic: [Do you want to enter the game now? ]
Qi Qiuxue was silent for a moment: "...Yeah."
System: [OK, transmission will begin shortly.]
As he finished speaking, a white light quickly lit up, and a feeling of emptiness came with it, and the scene around him began to change.
As usual, Qi Qiuxue slowly closed her eyes in the white light, but this time, she had some hope hidden in her heart.
——She longed to meet Li Yiqing in the dungeon.
