Doomsday Jigsaw Game
Chapter 173: The Hero's Journey
It was dark and gloomy.
The stars in the distance do have subtle lights, but these lights are far from being able to illuminate the endless darkness around them.
Obviously just walked into the edge, but it seems to have penetrated into it.
Lin Rui saw such a strange field for the first time.
"This is where?"
He had a feeling that this was someone's domain rather than nature's.
But if that's the case, this domain is too powerful, because the golden space-time power on him...is gone.
Everything seemed to have been dispelled, and he seemed to have completely become an ordinary person.
This feeling that was only available seven hundred years ago made Lin Rui panic.
He discovered that the master of the domain might really be an existence at the level of a great devil.
In the darkness, Lin Rui heard the sound of iron chains rubbing against the ground, and there was a hint of eternity in this sound.
It was as if he had come to an ancient world and saw an imprisoned god.
The body gradually began to respond to fear, and Lin Rui realized that even if his subjective will was not afraid...but his instinct had already begun to be afraid.
"I have to go!"
The thought was so strong, but when he turned around, he found that he couldn't leave at all.
As he thought before, he obviously only touched the edge, but in fact, this field is like a monster, which has completely swallowed him.
Once in, there is no way out.
"Calm down...Calm down, I'm just an ordinary person now, even if I escape, it's too late..."
Lin Rui forced himself to calm down.
But it's hard to actually do it.
Even though for seven hundred years, he has been the strongest among human beings, mastering the time and space power of the first generation of masked monsters, he still unconsciously feels fear when facing this unknown.
The sound of chains dragging was getting closer.
That overwhelming momentum approached like a storm.
"Is it because I've lost my power... so the feeling has become stronger?"
"No... no, this monster is really stronger than the Great Demon King..."
Lin Rui said to himself not to be afraid, but his back was already soaked in sweat.
He couldn't see who the man with the iron chain was, but for the first time, he felt that just by facing this man, he had half-stepped into the underworld.
The sound of breathing in the darkness gradually became rapid, and Lin Rui found that the other party had not spoken, and his fear became more and more intense.
This is not an existence that humans can fight against at all.
Could it be that there are gods in this world? This strange space, and this powerful unknown existence...
What was the origin of the world like?
Who are they?
Why did the world I once had become what it is now?
For some reason, facing this huge, ancient aura, Lin Rui subconsciously thought about the origin of the doomsday.
It seems that the answer can be found in this person.
"Kill, don't kill, kill, don't kill, kill..."
In the silence came a hoarse voice from the other side, with a bit of madness. When it came to killing words, Lin Rui could feel that the other party was a little happy.
When it comes to not killing, it seems that the other party finds it very boring.
This person seemed to be counting something. Lin Rui was no stranger to this kind of scene. He had seen it in many movies before the doomsday came seven hundred years ago.
Weak human beings meet a powerful villain, and the opponent will use a very absurd way to decide the survival and death of human beings.
Odd numbers die, even numbers live.
Lin Rui didn't expect this kind of thing to happen to him.
He really wants to enter a state of suspended animation, but the problem now is... the time and space force has been taken away, even if he enters a state of suspended animation, can he really return to reality?
"Ah... I must be prepared to die. This time, it seems that I am really going to die."
Lin Rui began to observe the surroundings. What can be used as a reference in the dark?
It seems that the only thing that can make this person count as odd or even is the stars all around. Soon Lin Rui was also confirmed, because as the unknown being in the darkness kept talking, Lin Rui found that the stars became dim one by one.
For some reason, Lin Rui felt that the vastness of stars was an odd number at a glance.
I will definitely die.
This is somewhat pessimistic, but Lin Rui was not very depressed, he just smiled, suppressing the fear in his heart with a smile.
"My name is Lin Rui, can I see what you look like?"
"Kill, don't kill, kill, don't kill, kill..."
The existence in the dark ignored Lin Rui, but still counted the stars.
Lin Rui felt that this person was a little crazy.
He added:
"If there is no accident, I should come from the future, but I don't know how long I have returned to the past."
"The city I'm in is called Baichuan City. Humans have built a refuge in that place...it's a place of survival other than a tower."
He didn't respond, that person seemed to be unable to hear Lin Rui's voice, and just continued talking to himself.
The fear in Lin Rui's heart was suppressed again and again, and it surged up again and again.
Only when facing this person, he seemed to have returned to seven hundred years ago and became that extremely helpless young man.
But the young man has gone through seven hundred years, even if he has no strength, his heart is still changing towards a hero.
If death is destined to be irresolvable, then at least let this death... make sense.
Lin Rui began to talk about the reason why he came here, and more and more stars became dim. The speed is also getting faster and faster.
Several times, he was frightened by the other party's sudden increase in speech rate.
But in the end Lin Rui mustered up his courage and decided to finish his story.
He really couldn't figure out how to survive.
"Maybe it's decades, maybe hundreds of years... It's possible later or earlier. This is the past, but that future will definitely come. If one day, a powerful existence like you won't stay in the Here, I hope that on the most dangerous day in the shelter...you can help humanity."
"Hahahaha...what the hell am I talking about...are you a disaster or a miracle? I'm not sure what kind of existence you are, I just never thought...that one day I would meet such a powerful monster."
"But I'm so unwilling...I'm probably going to die, right? Speaking of which, I've forgotten the specific date since human beings no longer belong to this world."
"Actually, curling up in a tower is also very good."
"I haven't had any problems in seven hundred years. I think in the future... Forget it, I dare not say it. I always feel that I am wrong and wrong..."
"Hey, why don't you kill me, but before that, let's chat?"
Lin Rui was very scared.
He talked a lot about himself, about the establishment of the refuge in Baichuan City, and about the various crises he encountered.
But the opponent didn't stop, the stars continued to dim, only a quarter of the stars remained.
Only when he spoke a sentence, Lin Rui found that the man paused.
"At least humans have struggled."
The monster in the dark didn't care about the content behind and before the sentence, but the sentence itself seemed to remind the monster of something.
He paused briefly for a second, then... continued to count the stars.
No matter what Lin Rui said after that, the other party didn't care.
There are fewer and fewer dazzling stars, and those dim stars are dormant in the night.
The countdown to death is so long.
For the first time, Lin Rui felt that he was so helpless. Since he met his senior seven hundred years ago, he thought that he would never be so helpless again.
"I still like my friends very much, even though they made wrong decisions again and again after the end of the world. Even though they simply treat me as a burden."
"But if I could go back in time, I would still save them."
"But seven hundred years, I tried countless times, but I still can't go back to that time..."
"Fortunately, I made new friends later on."
The faces of Bai Wu, Wu Jiu, Jiang Yimi, Liu Mu, Nie Chongshan and many others flashed in Lin Rui's mind.
At this moment, Lin Rui was like a dying person on the guillotine waiting for the knife to fall.
"It's just a pity that I can't continue to protect them, haha... this feels really uncomfortable."
As the words fell, Lin Rui found that there were only a few stars left.
He suddenly discovered something, and at this moment he was so excited that he wanted to jump up...
even number!
When the existence in the darkness shouted not to kill, the number of remaining stars was an even number!
This also means that he survived!
It's hard to imagine that when facing Jing Wushi, even if he was on the verge of death in the battle and finally survived, he didn't have such a surprise of surviving a catastrophe.
But now, when this monster hidden in the darkness finally counted all the stars, and the last word in his mouth was not to kill, Lin Rui really felt the joy of the rest of his life after the catastrophe.
"Kill, don't kill."
The tone of the monster in the dark seemed very impatient, and it turned out not to kill.
This made him a little unhappy.
Lin Rui wanted to say something, but suddenly found that he couldn't speak anymore. A powerful force imprisoned him, making him unable to move an inch.
"do not kill?"
The monster in the darkness was silent for a long time, and finally there was another friction sound from the iron chain, and his fingers... clicked in the dark field.
A star lights up.
Then he said excitedly:
"Kill! Kill! Kill, kill, kill!"
A series of killing words drained Lin Rui's inner hope little by little. Facing this man... he had nothing to do.
Finally there is light in the darkness! All the stars suddenly became dazzling at this moment, far more dazzling than before they dimmed.
At this moment, Lin Rui seemed to see countless stars being destroyed in the heat, and countless stars began to be born.
Everything in the void is like a corner of the universe.
A hand was pressed on Lin Rui's forehead. At this moment, Lin Rui raised his head and finally saw the appearance of this person.
Lin Rui's first impression was wildness.
With long hair hanging down and strong but not overly bulging muscles, the whole person looks extremely well-proportioned, but the scar on his chest is shocking.
She looks younger than herself, but in her eyes, madness and vicissitudes coexist.
"kill!"
The breath of death is like a huge wave that can destroy the coastline, Lin Rui is like an ant in front of this overwhelming torrent that can sweep the city...
He couldn't do anything, but it was clear at this moment that his journey should have come to an end.
"Death is just the beginning of the next journey...but it seems to me that...there is no next time."
Lin Rui's body began to rot, like a sandy rock peeling off bit by bit in a storm. At the same time, the body also began to undergo certain changes due to the attack of a huge resentment.
Evil. It's just that this kind of change is meaningless in the face of this madman's powerful power, it just makes his death more ugly.
Lin Rui didn't know what he was thinking of, but at the end of his life, he actually smiled, with a strange sense of beauty when his life was withering.
Pa, a mask fell to the ground inside the decayed body.
At this moment, as if under the threat of death, the golden space-time force finally released a part from the body...
But it was completely useless. This bit of space-time power was useless in the face of such a powerful and vast monster in the dark.
Lin Rui has also discovered that his life has come to an end, and his vitality has been swallowed up by an overpowering force. The reason why he is still conscious... is probably just a dying moment before death.
Even at this time, the powerful monster in the dark did nothing, he couldn't escape this death.
Ironically, at this moment, the monster in the darkness suddenly woke up.
"No...no...why are you here?"
"You have already been killed by me once...why do you still appear here?"
The time and space force that emerged at the moment of dying, and the mask that fell on the ground, made this monster in the dark finally regain consciousness for a moment from madness.
At this moment, in his crazy and vicissitudes eyes, there is only endless regret.
Countless stars exploded at this moment.
Beyond the dark starry sky, the area where the snow, cities, deserts, lakes and other places were mixed together began to decompose and split.
It seems that there is a huge force hitting this space crazily.
"Why you! How could I kill you... How could I kill you..."
The monster began to howl in pain. The huge power fluctuated with his emotions, bombarding the outside world indiscriminately.
Lin Rui's eyes were weak, the world in his eyes was already blurred, only this lunatic was still clear.
He always felt that he had seen him somewhere... But when he thought about it carefully, he probably had never seen him.
At this time, Lin Rui realized that these iron chains should be the means for this monster to imprison itself.
"Is it because you are too powerful and you are afraid of doing something stupid?"
"It's so lonely... How many years have you been in this place?"
Lin Rui's voice had become inaudible, but the wailing man still heard it.
There was mist in his eyes, and he wanted to pour power into Lin Rui, but it was meaningless. The decay of Lin Rui's body was irreversible.
The monster blamed himself for tearing out horrible wounds on his chest, but these wounds all healed in an instant.
Only the original wound is still there.
It was many years ago...a guy with a mask.
That person told him that the savior exists, and maybe one day in the future, someone will convey to him the situation that human beings are still fighting.
But at that time, he was completely insane. After seriously injuring the mask's owner, he began to wander the world.
He thought the mask owner was dead, but in fact, the mask owner still had a breath.
And in the end, under the guidance of a woman, he waited for his heir.
Lin Rui.
It is the descendant of the mask owner.
When the crazy man in the dark saw the mask, he thought of the man he had killed before.
His heart was overwhelmed by self-blame and guilt. For seven hundred years, the most painful thing for him was that he killed two wrong people...
One is a hero with a mask, and the other is a scientist who fights evil.
"Sorry... sorry... I didn't know you were alive, sorry!"
The words of the mask owner when he was seriously injured echoed in the madman's ears again:
"Don't despair... don't be afraid of the existence in the tower, and don't lose faith in humans. There may be a day in the future... humans walk out of the tower. At that time, I will definitely tell you the news..."
At that time, he will definitely tell me the news.
After many years, the lunatic has forgotten this passage.
Until now, when he regained consciousness again, he saw the mask and remembered what the human being in front of him had said to himself before he died.
"The city I'm in is called Baichuan City. Humans have built a refuge in that place...it's a place of survival other than a tower."
The great guilt made the crazy man cry out, and the mournful cry echoed among the stars.
The man with the mask... really realized what he said, and human beings are really still fighting...
He didn't lie to himself, and finally brought the news he had been looking forward to for a long time.
But I... killed him by mistake again.
"Don't cry... It's strange, I'm the one who died..." Lin Rui smiled wryly and fell to the ground, he had no strength to support himself to stand up anymore.
His body began to shatter inch by inch, and he might die completely in the next second.
"Don't die! Don't die! I'll give you back your strength!"
The golden space-time force illuminates the entire space, and the countless stars actually represent cause and effect.
These causes and effects began to explode crazily.
A powerful force of time and space poured into Lin Rui's decayed body, but all this was meaningless.
At the end of his life, Lin Rui unexpectedly saw some memories that did not belong to him.
It was still the lunatic in front of him, but the lunatic's hair was not so long at that time.
He sat with himself, as if talking about something.
Such a scene is a bit warm, Lin Rui finally understands that this person...knows his master.
Many things were connected at this moment, no wonder the master said that he was almost beaten to death... so it was him?
Is he imprisoned in this place because of guilt? He seems to regard me as a master...he is really a lunatic...the master is a real hero, and I...just a person clamoring to be a hero.
Lin Rui wanted to raise his hand, but he had no strength. He wanted to forgive this lunatic.
Because he could feel that extremely real grief and guilt.
It's just that he can't do it.
Consciousness gradually began to blur, and he couldn't even see the lunatic in front of him clearly.
Recalling the past... Lin Rui realized that he was really stupid.
"I'm always obsessed with the past... I always want to save you, but I wake up again and again, but I can't find you."
"I should understand that some things cannot be changed. I should be like a master to grasp the future."
As for the man with the mask, the opportunity to change the world does not lie in the past, but in the future. Lin Rui only now has a real understanding of it.
He was too obsessed with the past, and wanted to go back to the past to change something time and time again, but found that what he really did was not as good as what his predecessors had done in this world for less than a year.
"Heroes never die, but I'm not a hero... I'm not a qualified hero. Haha, even death, it's so inexplicable..."
Lin Rui closed his eyes. The heart also seemed to forget to beat.
I should have died.
In a trance, he saw countless lights and shadows. In the food city full of laughter and laughter, the girl he once liked, the group he had always wanted to join, stood on the campus of the food city, waving to him.
The sun is gentle, there is the noise of summer cicadas in my ears, and the air has the smell of soil being exposed to the sun. Everything outside the school gate is familiar.
As if the end never came.
He knew that he was really going to die, otherwise he wouldn't have seen these things...
It's just that Lin Rui always feels that there are still some things he hasn't done...I always feel that there are greater regrets in life than not being able to save his former partners.
This huge regret lay between life and death, making him extremely painful.
Maybe as long as you step into this school gate, you can make up for what was irreparable in the past seven hundred years in the kingdom of death, but...
If you die like this, how can you be a hero? How can I die with peace of mind if I know that the shelter cannot be established?
Lin Rui, who was dying, opened his eyes suddenly, and his body seemed to gain strength at this moment... He firmly grasped the lunatic's hand:
"Please...please...don't forget what I said...don't forget Baichuan City! Please!"
Lin Rui held the lunatic firmly with his hand, his thoughts were so simple that they were naive——
Taking advantage of this lunatic's moment of guilt, at least tell him the key information about Baichuan City and the refuge.
This may be a very embarrassing thing, begging the person who killed him to do some illusory things, but he can only do this. Compared with those beautiful and attractive pasts, he is more willing to fight for the dilapidated past. To fight in the future, even if it can only be done in such a way that does not conform to the heroic style of painting!
At this moment, the lunatic could feel this man's awareness beyond life and death.
What a great will is this?
Even though his body was already deserted and decayed, he could still feel a slight pain.
"Humanity has worked hard for seven hundred years... Please! Don't let their hopes fail... I don't know what happened between you and my master... I don't know why fate arranged for me to come here What, but I'm about to die, so please, please save Baichuan City!"
The man with a crying voice seems to have become the crying teenager many years ago. His eyes have no tears to flow. At this moment, his body has long been decayed and does not have the normal functions of human beings.
But he still begged, eager to convey that desire!
The lunatic didn't have time to respond. He couldn't imagine that someone would do such a thing without life after being devoured by him.
The body fell to the ground again, and cracks appeared in Lin Rui's heart, eyes, limbs, and torso. Like a stone sculpture that fell to the ground. Death also made Lin Rui's body degenerate... stuck in half.
The reply behind the lunatic...he couldn't hear it anymore.
"Don't focus on the past, look to the future."
When he was dying, Lin Rui finally carried out this sentence. The huge space-time force brought his body and disappeared into a certain time and space, but he was completely dead. No one knows where and how this dead body will appear in time and space.
This is the end of the journey belonging to the masked monster.
...
...
The dream of going to death has changed again.
Lin Rui did not step into the campus in the end.
He stood outside the campus and waved seriously to the people inside.
Mom and Dad, teachers and classmates, and the group of people who fled after the end of the world, maybe after I walk in, the people I liked in the past will also like me.
Perhaps after walking in, no one will regard themselves as a burden anymore.
Maybe in this campus world, everyone likes masked monsters... But this is the past after all.
Lin Rui turned around. The world behind him appeared in front of his eyes.
It was endless darkness, completely different from the wonderful world just before.
The world has become dilapidated, and there are only ruins of various buildings on the streets.
In the darkness far away, there is a narrow road.
This road may pass through deep darkness and finally lead to real light, or it may just walk into deeper darkness and finally usher in death.
But Lin Rui still chose this path.
Because he saw a masked person waiting for him on that road.
"Do you regret it? I came here so early."
"No regrets."
"What is more terrifying than death is the cycle. Those who play with time and space will inevitably be played by time and space."
"Master, I'm dead...can you stop being so obscure..."
"Master? Hahahaha... My relationship with you is not as simple as master and apprentice."
Lin Rui didn't know the meaning of this sentence, he just smiled and said:
"Although I don't regret it, I still feel that it's too useless to die. There are indeed many incomprehensible powerful existences in this world.
But in the end, I seem to have done a good thing, although I... have no way to watch the end of this karma. "
"Since you have worked hard, there is no need to worry about it."
"Speaking of... am I a qualified hero?"
On the dark road, two generations of masked people walked side by side, rushing to the depths of the underworld.
Lin Rui didn't hear the master's response, as if he didn't bother to answer whether he was a hero or not.
It's just that if someone looked behind them, they would find that the two figures gradually overlapped.
He's a hero, always has been.
