215 She's Great
◎I don’t want to have any regrets◎
A silvery-white crack appeared out of thin air along with the system's prompt sound, and gradually spread in all directions at the fastest speed, eventually forming a glowing, corrugated giant door.
This is a special space. Behind the door is the battlefield. All sounds can be blocked here. You cannot see the outside world, and you cannot be seen by the outside world. There is no obstruction, no boundaries, and even the flow of time is faster.
Before entering, Qi Qiuxue transferred all the props to Bai Shien.
"You must make it out alive." Her voice was firm and powerful. "Don't act rashly, and don't be too cautious. Be careful to avoid the attack and wait for the right opportunity to strike. Use props to protect yourself when necessary."
"I understand." Bai Shien nodded gently, and after a while, a faint smile suddenly appeared on her face.
As if she had already anticipated her own fate, she suddenly said, "I'm very happy to have met you during this time. If anything does happen to me, please help me take good care of my sister. Please."
"You'll be fine." Qi Qiuxue answered firmly, "Don't forget, we still have to go to the sea together."
Watch the sea.
Bai Shien paused for two seconds after hearing this, then looked in the direction of Qi Qiuxue. There was a hint of confusion and uncertainty in her tone: "Can we really still go to see the sea together?"
"I definitely can." Qi Qiuxue met her gaze and responded word by word, "I definitely can."
As if relieved, Bai Shien's smile grew more relaxed: "Okay, I will."
After she finished speaking, she turned and walked into the huge door in front of her, and the game began.
One second, two seconds...
One point, two points...
Time passed by little by little, and every minute and every second made people anxious. No one knew what happened behind the door. No matter how fierce the fight inside was, the only feedback left to Qi Qiuxue and others was a long silence.
Su Wen clenched his fists and paced anxiously and nervously; Liu Ge kept staring at the direction where Bai Shien disappeared, with a frown on his face; and Wu Shanyue, with tears in her eyes, even raised her hands and put her palms together, trying to place her hope on the gods and pray devoutly.
But soon, she put her hand down again.
It is useless to pray to God. It is not others who give them pain and fear, but these high gods in front of them.
"She'll be safe, right?" Wu Shanyue subconsciously looked at the person she trusted most and asked Qi Qiuxue hopefully, "She will be safe, right?"
“…”
Before Qi Qiuxue could answer, there was a loud "bang" and the light gate that was originally tightly closed suddenly reopened, and a dazzling light came in.
Is this... the end?
Qi Qiuxue narrowed her eyes and forced herself to stare directly at the bright light in front of her. She tried to find the familiar figure in the light, but to no avail. There was nothing inside, nothing at all.
"What does this mean?" She was stunned for a moment, and a strong sense of unease suddenly surged in her heart. She asked the god loudly, and then received an extremely sad answer -
"The first game is over. As you can see, Bai Shien didn't come out."
God said.
"She's gone."
Not here anymore.
Bai Shien is no longer here.
"What do you mean?!" Even though she had already understood the meaning of this sentence, Su Wen still refused to believe it. Her eyes were red with anger, and tears unconsciously flowed from the corners of her eyes. "I'm asking you, what does 'gone' mean?! Is she dead? Is she alive or dead?! Answer me!"
Her anger was met with a calm and straightforward response from the god, tinged with a smile: "Remember, the game ends only when one or both sides die."
“So, my answer to your question is: yes.”
"Bai Shien is dead."
“…”
The world seemed to quiet down in an instant, and time seemed to be infinitely distorted and stretched. Qi Qiuxue checked the time on the data panel with trembling hands: three minutes and twenty-six seconds.
The fleeting time mercilessly swallowed up a living person.
Isn't it about living towards death?
Shouldn't we live towards death?
Why is there only death and no life?
Even someone as calm as Qi Qiuxue panicked at this moment. Li Yiqing wouldn't lie about something like this, and neither would her memory avatar. Since the dungeon they experienced in the second worldline was essentially the same as the first, and she had even specifically confirmed this with the system before entering the final dungeon—
【Due to the different number of people, the mission content will also be different. 】
【But the setting and theme are the same. 】
If that's the case, why didn't I live towards death? What went wrong? What was the problem? What exactly was it?!
"The system detected that Bai Shien left behind most of the common items and all of the god-level items. Therefore, the items have been returned to the players' backpacks." The god spoke, breaking the silence. "Perhaps you will need some time to calm down and mourn your friend, but sorry, our time is limited. The second match is about to begin. Please enter as soon as possible."
The person who will participate in the second competition is Wu Shanyue.
"Where's the god who fought Shi En?" Liu Ge glanced at Wu Shanyue beside him, forcing himself to calm down, and asked the god, "Is she still alive?"
"Then the players will have to enter the game themselves to verify it." The god smiled gently.
"That is to say, I might be facing two gods..." Wu Shanyue widened her eyes and lowered her head helplessly and blankly. Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes and her whole body was shaking.
"Shanyue." Qi Qiuxue tried to calm down and said something to her, "You..."
"I'm fine, Axue, I'm fine." Wu Shanyue interrupted her and tried to raise a pale smile. She was the second person to play, and there were so many team members behind her. She shouldn't make everyone worry and shouldn't be a burden to everyone.
She looked at the players who were also concerned and worried about her one by one, suppressing her fear and sadness and calling their names one last time: "And Ah Qing, Ah Liu, and Ah Wen, I'm fine, I really am."
"I'm leaving."
She quickly turned around and walked straight towards the light gate, never looking back.
-
As she entered, the gap in the light door closed again, and the anxious, concerned and worried voices of her friends were all blocked out of the door.
Wu Shanyue called out his weapons and used ordinary props to add points to his various stats as quickly as possible. Behind him, there was the sound of wings spreading out and the sound of a mask falling off and thrown to the ground. Wu Shanyue clenched his fists, tried to control his fear, and turned around.
There was only one god present, the god who had signed a contract with her before. Now she had taken off her mask, revealing her original beautiful face.
"You're lucky." She smiled gently, "This match is 1v1."
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Leola, and my special skill is—"
The god before him raised his right hand, palm facing upward like a beautiful statue, supporting the dome before him.
But in the next second, she suddenly turned her palm over, changing it to a palm-down position, and the light in the dome disappeared, as if the sun had set, and an endless darkness enveloped the earth.
"Black Sky."
I can't see anything.
Wu Shanyue tried to open her eyes wide and look for Leola's figure in the darkness, but it was too dark, so dark that she could not see anything.
There was a night vision goggles in his backpack, and the time limit was only fifteen minutes. Wu Shanyue used it immediately, but the effect was still minimal.
Wu Shanyue pointed the muzzle of her gun at the darkness in front of her, like a blind person groping in the dark. She could not catch the god's movements, nor could she determine her exact location based on her extremely fast speed. The weapon in the god's hand left deep and fast blood marks on her body.
What is it?
What weapon did she use?
Wu Shanyue's hands were cold and his legs were shaking. When faced with absolute power, people will unconsciously feel fear and panic. It is an instinctive reaction.
But if you want to win, you must overcome your instincts.
Wu Shanyue forced herself to calm down and analyze things properly like Qi Qiuxue, and never give up thinking. She tried her best to use her brain and enhance her senses, feeling the sound of the weapon every time it penetrated the air and the pain and touch when it hit her body.
Like thorns.
A very long thorn bush covered with barbs.
I need her to get close to me. The closer I get, the more likely I am to see the person in front of me clearly, and only then will I have a chance of hitting her!
Wu Shanyue took a deep breath. Perhaps because she had found the direction of the battle, her fear and panic gradually eased. She put away the gun briefly, freeing her hands to grab the thorn when Leola hit her again and was about to retract it.
There were countless small thorns on the thorns, one after another, extremely sharp, which pierced her palm in an instant, and blood flowed everywhere.
But Wu Shanyue didn't care about the pain. She used all her strength to pull the thorns back, and quickly drew her weapon when Leola on the other side of the thorns got closer and closer to her until she could see her figure.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
She used her weapon to its maximum power, firing shot after shot in the direction of Leola.
Maybe nine, maybe ten, maybe even eleven, I couldn't count them all.
It should take away a lot of her blood, right?
Wu Shanyue looked at the health bar above Leola's head——
Her health bar... barely moved.
Even with the help of various common props, she didn't even reduce Leola's health bar to 0.01%.
In an instant, Wu Shanyue's brain went blank again. She turned around mechanically and fled helplessly. She didn't know what to do next. Should she use the god-level props? Should she use the god-level props?
【Damage transfer?】
[Attribute enhancement potion? ]
【regeneration? 】
No, actually, none of them are useful. We had discussed and analyzed in the previous meeting that these props are actually more suitable for several other people and are not suitable for her.
Under the current circumstances, even if she really used it, it would not change anything, and it might even take away other people's lives.
“Bang!”
The thorns attacked again, knocking Wu Shanyue to the ground.
Wu Shanyue used all her strength to get up, but before she could stand firmly, she was hit again and again and fell to the ground. She checked her data panel in severe pain and found that her health was almost gone.
what to do?
She is going to die.
Wu Shanyue thought silently.
But even if she died, she wanted to take away the god in front of her. She wanted to be as powerful as Qi Qiuxue, as reliable as Li Yiqing, as strong as Su Wen, and as determined as Liu Ge.
She doesn't want to be a burden, she doesn't want to hold everyone back, not even for a second!!!
[System prompt: Your health has dropped to 5%.]
Wu Shanyue lowered her head unconsciously. In a trance, she saw something glowing near her heart. A golden thread extended from her chest, and the other end was tied to...
At the last second before the night vision goggles lost their effect, she saw that the other end of the golden light was connected to Leola's body.
"I am here for you and with you."
"We managed to sign the contract and at that point we had a connection, a unique connection."
At this moment, Wu Shanyue's mind suddenly became clear, and she recalled what Leola had said to her.
Is this what you mean by unique connection?
Does coming for you and being with you mean that as long as she dies, the gods will disappear?
In that case—
Wu Shanyue turned the weapon in his hand and put the muzzle to his heart.
"It seems you've discovered something." Leola stopped attacking and looked directly into Wu Shanyue's eyes in the darkness. "Do you really want to do this? If you fire this shot, you will be completely dead."
"How about reconsidering this and using the life-saving talisman you have?" A smile lingered in her voice. "Let's make a deal. I can change the talisman's ability to drag someone you care about into the dungeon. This way, you can leave without worries, return to reality, and stay with your mother for a while longer."
"And I, if I win this game, will advance to the next one." Leola paused for a few seconds, as if recalling something. "I remember the next one to play is Su Wen, right? I'd really like to have a fight with her. What do you think?"
don't want.
The golden light slightly illuminated Leola's face. Wu Shanyue clenched the gun in his hand and met Leola's gaze at the last moment of his life.
Once upon a time, she was a very cowardly person, afraid of death, afraid of being injured, afraid of losing her loved ones, and afraid of the departure of her friends. In fact, based on her abilities, she would not have survived to the last copy without everyone's help.
She always felt that she was the weakest player in the entire team. Sometimes late at night she would quietly review the game, wondering if at some point she had been braver and more clever, would everything have been different.
She left herself with many regrets, so this time, she didn't want to have any regrets anymore. She also wanted to protect everyone and do what she could for her friends.
Even if it means her death—
"Bang!"
Wu Shanyue pulled the trigger without hesitation, and the bullet shot out instantly, penetrating her chest.
At the moment she fell to the ground, she saw the god in front of her also fall down, and then turned into a point of light and quickly disappeared from her sight.
It hurts so much.
It hurts so much to be hit by a bullet.
Physiological tears flowed from the corners of Wu Shanyue's eyes again, but this time, there was no fear in her heart. She raised the corners of her lips and smiled slowly.
She killed God.
She is so great.
“…”
The second game is over.
Wu Shanyue and Leola died.
