◎Everything that is gone will eventually come back◎
Qi Qiuxue and Li Yiqing took the camera with them.
The two set out in the early morning, taking their companions' last wishes and belongings with them to see the sea. They planned to stay at the beach for a few more days to take as many beautiful photos as possible, including sunrise, sunset, flying birds, waves, and the sea at every time.
After finishing all this, it was time to prepare for the funeral. In fact, Qi Qiuxue didn't know how to plan a funeral before this. It was not until she looked into it that she realized that there were so many things to do.
Death certificate, body preparation, coffin selection, funeral supplies purchase, farewell ceremony, eulogy reading, etc.
This is the general process, but it doesn't seem to be applicable to Liu Ge and others.
——They were all buried in the dungeon, without even their bodies left.
So in the end, Qi Qiuxue decided to build several cenotaphs for them.
"I found Liu Ge's coat on the office chair in the conference room."
"I bought Su Wen's favorite candy."
"Is this game just released today? I heard Shanyue mention it a while ago. She said she really wanted to play it. So I should buy all the game cards in this series."
Qi Qiuxue sat in the dim room and confirmed the list with Li Yiqing over and over again, hoping to prepare everything thoroughly and perfectly.
But gradually, her attention unconsciously drifted far away.
It was like a long dream—
It's about a thrilling game and some like-minded friends. They spent countless days and nights together, struggling, fighting, laughing, and chatting. It is an extremely vivid memory. As long as I close my eyes, everything seems to still appear before my eyes.
But did these really exist?
Until now, the doomsday has been eliminated and the game has ended. Her friends seem to have been buried in this grand "fantasy", as if they had never appeared and never come to her side.
Thinking of this, Qi Qiuxue frowned unconsciously again. Frowning seemed to have become her habit since leaving the copy.
The phone numbers stored in the phone, the guild they founded together, the hands clasped together, the heartbeats that resonated with the same frequency... Once upon a time, there were many connections between them.
But now, everything has changed.
Memories and tombstones.
——These are the few left.
“…”
The plane flew for less than three hours and finally landed smoothly. Qi Qiuxue and Li Yiqing walked out of the airport side by side. Only then did they suddenly realize that the beach was not very far from where they lived. It was just that they had never had much time, so they had never been there.
It would be great if I could take them to see the sea earlier.
"Let's go." Li Yiqing beside him took Qi Qiuxue's hand.
"Okay." Qi Qiuxue looked at her and nodded slightly.
They first went to the hotel they had booked in advance. Li Yiqing went to the front desk to check in, while Qi Qiuxue stood behind her, looking aimlessly at the scenery outside the window.
"Do you want to go back to your room and rest for a while?" Li Yiqing quickly finished everything and turned back. "You haven't slept a wink since yesterday morning."
"No need to rest." Qi Qiuxue shook her head. "Let's go back to the room and put our luggage away. Then we'll take our cameras and go to the beach."
"Well, that's fine." Li Yiqing didn't stop him after hearing this, "After all, we still have a lot of things to do."
"But promise me not to force yourself." She looked at the person in front of her with heartache. Not only would Qi Qiuxue feel extremely sad, but the death of Liu Ge and others also dealt a great blow to her. But precisely because of this, she had to cheer up even more.
She had to miss her deceased friend while also taking care of her current lover: "I just checked the navigation. It takes about ten minutes to get to the nearest beach by taxi. If you feel sleepy, just lean on my shoulder and take a nap, okay?"
Qi Qiuxue nodded and said yes.
Soon, they got on the car.
The driver was a very enthusiastic middle-aged woman. She immediately recognized their foreign accents and, based on the principle of hospitality, began to introduce them to the local famous attractions and special snacks.
Qi Qiuxue leaned on Li Yiqing's shoulder and looked out the window. Forcing herself to stay awake for a long time made her thinking a little slow. She seemed to be listening carefully, but also seemed to be distracted.
She saw the lush trees on both sides of the road, heard the noisy and regular chirping of cicadas, noticed the various restaurants and shops, and waves of tourists passing by them. Somehow, she seemed to see two familiar faces.
They are Zhou Le and Jiang Rou, two girls who died in a girls' high school.
“……?!”
Qi Qiuxue sat up suddenly, rolled down the car window and looked back.
The two familiar figures had disappeared, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.
"What's wrong?" Li Yiqing asked quickly.
After a while, Qi Qiuxue shook her head: "...Nothing."
-
The air at the seaside is a little humid, the seaside is vast and lively, and the sun is shining.
The two quickly got out of the car, raised their cameras, and walked barefoot on the beach. They recorded the soft and moist sand, the waves surging in the wind, some small fish and shrimps lurking in the sand, and many, many, countless smiling faces.
"When we get back, make a few more copies of these photos and put them in their graves." Qi Qiuxue said softly.
"Okay." Li Yiqing responded. Seeing that she was still frowning, he raised his hand and took the initiative to smooth her brows.
She suddenly suggested, "Axue, can I take a few photos of you too?"
Qi Qiuxue originally wanted to shake her head.
But later she thought, would the people in the other world also want to see her current situation? If she and Li Yiqing seemed to be living well, perhaps they would feel at ease.
So finally, she nodded and said yes.
Li Yiqing pointed the camera at her and gently pressed the shutter button.
"Is the filming done?" Qi Qiuxue asked.
"The background here doesn't look good." Li Yiqing checked the photo he had just taken and was not satisfied. "Can we change the background?"
"Okay." Qi Qiuxue followed her arrangements and stopped at a place with more beautiful scenery.
Li Yiqing pressed the shutter again. Unlike before, this time she took a few more pictures as backup.
"Is it okay this time?" Qi Qiuxue asked again quickly.
"Not bad." Li Yiqing nodded, as if she was about to say something, but before she could finish her words, her eyes suddenly widened as if she saw something.
Qi Qiuxue noticed that her gaze lingered behind her: "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Li Yiqing said quickly. Perhaps because the light was too strong, Qi Qiuxue noticed that the corners of her eyes were slightly red. "Axue, don't move. This scene is perfect now!"
"Three, two, one." She raised her lips and chuckled, "Let's all say eggplant together, okay?"
Everyone?
As if catching the key words, Qi Qiuxue turned around suddenly, and the picture happened to freeze at this moment, recording this moment.
This time, Qi Qiuxue was no longer the only one in the photo.
But five people.
“…”
Not long ago, the temple.
Purcell threw a shiny, golden object onto the Lord's desk and complained, "I'm so tired!"
"Please don't assign me this kind of mission again, okay?" Her tone was filled with flattery, and her eyes were fixed on the Lord God in front of her, "Lord Lord God."
Perhaps because he disliked her being too close, the Lord God raised his hand and pushed her head aside: "It depends on your performance."
"Okay." Purcell nodded and glanced around subconsciously: "Are they gone?"
"Um."
"What did you wish for?"
"End the game and eliminate the disaster."
"Just like what we saw in the future." Purcell raised his lips slightly after hearing this. He conjured a chair and sat down in front of the Lord God. "That's great. From now on, the temple will have another excellent god."
"Actually, you like them too, right?" Perhaps remembering something, Purcell paused for a few seconds and suddenly spoke in a very soft voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Lord God closed the document in his hand and looked over.
She didn't rush to answer, but asked, "Why do you think so?"
"You've been helping them, haven't you?" Purcell winked. "As long as it doesn't violate the rules."
"For example, the seemingly ulterior motive of transferring Li Yiqing's memories to allow her to reveal some key information in advance; for example, those props that are "randomly" dropped in the game but always come in handy; for example, even though Li Yiqing interfered excessively with the main storyline, she didn't take away her abilities, but was instead given some so-called severe punishment."
"Take me for example."
"How sad! It seems I'm just one of your pawns," Purcell said exaggeratedly. "Being a god is so easy! You had to lead me into mistakes, letting me join the game as a player and accompany them to the end."
"Even in the last instance, I had to juggle my roles as both a player and a god, continuing to complete the tasks I was supposed to do."
"Are you feeling wronged?" The Lord God met her gaze and smiled faintly.
Purcell was dazzled by her smile, and after a moment he said, "Of course not."
"I'm happy to do it for you," she said sincerely.
"Congratulations on completing the obligations that a god should undertake, and congratulations on successfully completing the game as a player." There was a knock on the door. It was Leola, Logli, and Elena - the gods who were also assigned by her to enter the dungeon, coming to give a report and summary.
Before saying the words "Come in," the Lord God took the lead and said, "So, have you made up your mind?"
"What do you want to wish for?"
"As for me," Purcell quickly stood up, "my wish is, of course..."
The document on the Lord's desk was turned over a few pages by the wind she brought. It was an old file that recorded information about the first world line.
Qi Qiuxue and others’ meeting, separation, and future direction... everything.
At the very end is a record. Every god in the game can choose a human, witness her growth, and guide her direction. Initially, in the first world line, the human chosen by the main god was -
Li Yiqing.
She watched as the human she chose successfully cleared all dungeons and eventually became the First God. This human transcended class and possessed everything that others could not have.
But she is not happy.
Later, Li Yiqing made a wish to reset the world line. She wanted to start all over again, save her friends, save her lover, and save all the human beings who were suffering like her.
The Lord God respected her decision and allowed everything to start over again.
But this time, she wanted the human she chose to be happier.
"I hope that all the kind-hearted people who shouldn't have died in the dungeon will come back to life." Purcell said in a serious and solemn tone.
"good."
The Lord God decided to fulfill her wish.
“…”
"Li Yiqing, is this how you use my camera? Look how ugly the photos you took are!" Su Wen took a few quick steps to take the camera and carefully examined the photos.
Meng Yiyue let go of her lover's hand, walked quickly to Qi Qiuxue's side, and said, "Axue, long time no see."
Wu Shanyue took out a few candies from his pocket and gently placed them in Qi Qiuxue's hands: "Xue, try this, it's delicious. I bought it on the way here. It's the flavor you like."
The whole body was noisy again and again, just like before.
In a trance, my vision suddenly became blurry, tears quickly accumulated in my eyes, and then burst out.
The atmosphere in the room was silent for a few seconds, and everyone turned their eyes to Qi Qiuxue. On this sunny morning, by the endless seashore, everything that had passed away returned to Qi Qiuxue, as if they had always been together and had never left.
"The sea is so beautiful, isn't it?" Qi Qiuxue met their gaze and smiled.
"From now on, we will come here every summer."
