Chapter 1 Extra: Quick Report of Gratitude - A Tragic Novel 08
But for some reason, this time the group was only reborn before the conflict broke out, and the location was still the underground bar.
Before the worker bees could react, Xin Que jumped over the railing, grabbed a worker bee she had knocked down, and slammed it directly at the swarming bees on the booth.
Teng Feng also realized that time had rewound to before the explosion. He dodged the worker bees that were rushing at him, but Xin Que blocked his hand halfway to draw his gun with a punch.
Tengfeng "???"
"Have you no shame?" Teng Feng blocked Xin Que's punch that was swinging down at him again, and cursed, "Are you addicted to stealing other people's equipment?"
Xin Que stared intently at the gunstock at his waist, refusing to back down. She dodged the worker bee that attacked her from behind, and as he lurched forward, she grabbed his shoulder and threw him over the shoulder.
The swift-eyed bee dodged.
"Who said the gun is yours just because it's in your body?" Xin Que said confidently. "You said it's all about skill, whoever gets it keeps it!"
Teng Feng felt a sharp pain in his wrist as Xin Que interrupted his gun-drawing action once again, fueling his rage.
As soon as Shen Yuzhou opened his eyes, he found that Xin Que and Teng Feng had directly attacked him.
His eyes widened as the fear of death gripped his mind once more.
The man frantically moved toward the numb, stiff worker bees to the side, trying to avoid the two killing machines.
But moving around would inevitably bump into other people in the booth, so when he looked up, he was met with a row of stiff, uniform expressions that looked like they had been copied and pasted.
Shen Yuzhou was so frightened that his hands and feet began to tremble. He was caught in a dilemma, not knowing whether to go left or right.
Until he heard the terrifying cocking sound of a pistol once again.
Xin Que and Teng Feng simultaneously raised their guns at each other.
Xin Que: "...Why do you bring so many guns to a bar with your identity?"
Teng Feng chuckled a few times, his face full of arrogance, "Didn't expect that, did you? This identity is all about dual-wielding!"
Xin Que looked on with disbelief.
The swarm of worker bees rushed towards her once again.
She played poorly again this time.
Teng Feng was taken aback when he saw Xin Que shift the gun barrel he was aiming at to the lower left an inch, no longer pointing it at his brow.
A moment later, he suddenly turned around.
Shen Yuzhou was shot in the head by Xin Que in the next instant.
Tengfeng "???"
He cursed, "Xin Que, you're such a sore loser! If you're so capable, why don't you just not press the restart button?!"
Xin Que was still thinking about how to remove all the guns from Teng Feng's body next time.
With the death of the male protagonist Shen Yuzhou once again, the entire bar environment begins to collapse and deteriorate, starting from the center point of the bar's ceiling.
Teng Feng cursed, withdrew his wrist, and fired a shot to the side as if venting his anger.
It struck the back of Shen Yuzhou's head.
The progress of the bar collapse paused for a moment.
Xin Que: "???"
Tengfeng "???"
What's going on? Is the male lead, Shen Yuzhou, not just a restart button, but also a pause button?
Xin Que fired another shot at Chen Yuzhou.
The collapse continued immediately.
Teng Feng pointed the gun at Shen Yuzhou once again.
The collapse has been suspended.
The subsequent collapse of the bar was like a choppy online video, constantly switching between pausing and playing.
"Enough!!!"
The previously quiet, barely noticeable voice beside the dance floor could no longer contain itself and slammed its fist on the table in anger.
Everything was put on pause.
Everyone present instinctively looked towards the source of the voice.
It was the face of a familiar face from the interrogation plan.
Luo Jingchen sat upright beside the dance floor, his face as black as the bottom of a pot.
Xin Que had a bad feeling.
This person only has a face that resembles Luo Jingchen's features, but their temperament is completely different.
The man waved his hand, and the bar immediately fell silent.
Tengfeng and his worker bees vanished without a trace from the bar.
The gun in Xin Que's hand was also taken away and disappeared by that invisible force.
"Who are you?" Xin Que's alarm bells rang loudly.
“The real King of Biancheng,” the man said coldly, “and this place is just a corner of the City of the Wrongfully Dead, which I govern.”
Seemingly sensing Xin Que's doubts, the man's face darkened. "I know what you're thinking, but the author of the side story was too lazy to come up with names and appearances for me, so he just used the appearance setting of the AI in charge."
Xin Que "..."
"I will explain to you in detail the [time travel] you and your companions experienced." Seeing that Xin Que did not do anything destructive, the man's expression softened.
The bar environment instantly shattered into sand. A gust of wind blew by, and after the sand dispersed, the two stood in the university cafeteria where Xin Que had first traveled through time.
However, the university cafeteria, now paused, resembles a sandbox landscape, and everything about it feels eerie.
Students coming and going, getting food, queuing, or chatting and laughing while eating at the tables, all maintained their own postures and expressions, like a frame captured by a camera, motionless.
Xin Que and Shen Yuzhou were at a table not far from the two of them.
However, the two were doing the same thing: Shen Yuzhou was pressing Xin Que's head down, trying to shove her face into the bowl of chili oil in front of her, while a group of Shen Yuzhou's cronies surrounded them, laughing in various ways.
"You can use the concept of parallel worlds to understand the relationship between our world and your world," explained the man who claimed to be King Biancheng and looked exactly like Luo Jingchen.
"Our world is divided into two parts: the human world and the underworld."
Xin Que understood the gist of the man's explanation.
【Xin Que】was a real person who actually existed in the human world. She was not a female protagonist in a novel, but a wrongfully killed person who was murdered by 【Shen Yuzhou】.
And this chaotic world with unlimited rebirth... is actually just a scene simulated by the City of the Wrongfully Dead, which is under the control of King Biancheng.
"Xin Que was filled with resentment before her death, trapped in hatred for Shen Yuzhou and unable to escape... After her death, she was led to the City of the Wrongfully Dead by the jailers."
“The wronged souls who enter the City of the Wrongfully Dead live like people in the mortal world, but are imprisoned by the City of the Wrongfully Dead.”
"These wronged souls can climb the city walls to peer into the world and see if their murderers have received retribution in this life."
"If the retribution in this life is enough to comfort these wronged souls and soothe their resentment, these wronged souls will be sent out of the City of the Wrongfully Dead and led by the jailers to other hells under the jurisdiction of Yama. Then, according to their good and evil deeds in life, they will be rewarded or punished and reincarnated."
The man glanced at Xin Que, "What Shen Yuzhou thought was rebirth was actually an illusion created by the jailer during the process of separating his soul and body, and the time of his karmic retribution in this life."
"But something went wrong somewhere in the middle... You actually entered our world directly, and you just happened to end up in my City of the Dead."
The scenes keep changing, depicting various unforgettable moments before Xin Que's death, each one revealing the overwhelming rage of Xin Que's wronged spirit.
"According to the wishes of the wronged spirit [Xin Que], as long as Shen Yuzhou suffers everything she has suffered, she will be at peace..."
King Biancheng's lips twitched as he thought of the female ghost in the City of the Wrongfully Dead who was purified at lightning speed after Xin Que transmigrated. "You accidentally transmigrated and ended up taking over my colleague's job."
Xin Que: "???"
King Biancheng's expression was complicated. "The female ghost with the same name as you was the one who was imprisoned for the shortest period among all the wronged ghosts in the City of the Wrongfully Dead."
"When I was picked up by other hell guards, they even gave me a five-star review."
According to the jailer, the female ghost was laughing so hard her mouth was almost split open when she left.
"If it weren't for this inexplicable positive review, I wouldn't have known that you guests from another world had infiltrated my City of the Dead."
