Why is the NPC Frightened By Me Again [Infinite Stream]

All the neighborhoods are bright and warm, only the ones they rent in the real world are pitch black. Not a single light was on, not a single voice.

They parked the car at the gate of the community. Chu Tianshu got out of the car. He wore a shirt showing his collarbone and looked at the dim unit building that belonged to them.

"Lin Huai." His voice was like smoke in summer, and it would soon dissipate, "We can't look back when we get here."

"I know." Lin Huai said.

This time, Chu Tianshu was silent for longer than any time before. In the end, he took Lin Huai's hand and wrapped his warm hand around him: "If Shui made her choice, we also made ours..."

Lin Huai turned around and hugged him tightly.

His hug was so tight, it was not like a hug that Lin Huai would have. Chu Tianshu gently patted the back of his neck and said, "I will always be with you."

"Well." Lin Huai said softly.

The community they rented in real life...is the perfect world in the black seam, the only place they have never set foot in, the only place that has nothing to do with it.

Chu Tianshu held Lin Huai's hand tightly and walked into the strange community. At the moment they stepped in, they seemed to hear the life behind them calling them.

What a beautiful and perfect life... This is also the life that Chu Tianshu always wanted to live with Lin Huai.

After walking into the community, all illusions disappeared like magic at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night. What appeared in front of the two was still a black seam, but the surroundings were pure white.

On the pure white floor, three lines of words were written.

"Before entering the final 'door', there is one final level."

"After you pass the level, you get everything you want."

"Before that, you have one minute left."

A one-minute countdown is displayed on the other side. The two looked at each other in the vast whiteness, and finally, Chu Tianshu looked at Lin Huai's face and smiled.

When he smiled, he was still bright and sunny: "Lin Huai."

"I will always love you," he said.

He didn't say rude words, he didn't play tricks, he didn't play tricks, and at the last moment, he only said the simplest thing.

"Me too." Lin Huai said.

They are like travelers who have traveled through mountains and rivers all their lives, and finally meet again here. Chu Tianshu touched Lin Huai's hair and said, "It's okay, it's just the last copy, see you soon..."

"Wait." Lin Huai suddenly interrupted him and said seriously, "This is the last sentence, I want to be in the real world..."

At this moment, the countdown reached zero.

zero.

...

Lin Huai was soaked all over and woke up from a cold sweat.

The vision in front of him was still a little shaky, and he didn't know how he appeared here.

He was holding a mobile phone in his hand, already wet with his sweat.

He found his fingers trembling.

Lin Huai saw that he was in a small room. In front of him is a big screen, and on the screen...

on the screen……

Lin Huai's teeth began to rattle. It wasn't because of the **** "18" in the upper left corner of the display, but because of the scene on the display... He could hear his heartbeat, as if he could burst out of his chest anytime, anywhere.

The heart that belonged to the evil **** was wailing.

"Chu..."

"Chu..."

He finally felt what it was like not being able to say a word. Lin Huai wants to destroy everything, wants to kill everything, wants to see everything turned to ashes...

Until the phone in his hand started to vibrate.

A text message came in.

"For the 18th time," the text message was simple and clear, "Send a text message to Chu Tianshu in the past to change your ending."

yes.

What appeared on the screen...was a bloody, but still recognizable corpse belonging to Chu Tianshu.

Lin Huai heard his bones rattle. He saw a new text message coming in, which said: "After entering the maze for the first time, you both worked together to clear the customs, but Chu Tianshu died, and you came here. Just push the black door next to you, and you will be able to reach what you want. the truth."

"But you chose a new game - send text messages to Chu Tianshu who just entered the maze, you can only send three messages at a time, it doesn't involve practice, trying to change this ending..."

Memories of being temporarily stuck due to a coma flooded in.

Lin Huai saw himself entering the maze with Chu Tianshu, saw Chu Tianshu's death, saw his choice, saw himself sitting in this room, texting Chu Tianshu again and again.

again and again.

But in the end...he didn't change anything.

No matter how he texts, the world line changes. In the end, he fell into a daze, and the final result he saw was still Chu Tianshu's corpse, and he was still in the exit room. As he struggled again and again, Chu Tianshu's death became more and more miserable.

From complete to bloody. New text messages come in again.

"Are you going to continue?"

Lin Huai's eyes stayed on the mailbox. In the blank recipient box, he could type out Chu Tianshu's cell phone number without hesitation—as if he had recited it billions of times.

But this time, he finally stopped his finger after dialing in the string of mobile phone numbers.

"It's the last time." He closed his eyes and said softly.

He didn't send out any valuable attempt information, and in the end, he just typed three words into the typing box.

"I love you".

Lin Huai closed his eyes, this was the nineteenth time. He knew that when he opened his eyes again, what he saw was still the more miserable death of Chu Tianshu on the screen.

He threw the phone under the table.

"I see." He said dryly, "I didn't admit defeat to the game, but to him."

"Because... only one person can enter that door. He should know before me who just entered the maze, right?"

"He gave me the right to choose. He chose death, let me leave, and let me pass the customs."

"So, it's not that I can't beat the game, it's not that I can't calculate the game, it's not that I can't beat the game no matter what..."

"What I can't overcome...is his determination to die for me."

"No matter what I post, there will only be this ending. I'm not fighting the game, I'm fighting him."

Lin Huai heard his voice twist, he never thought he would make such a voice.

He finally got up, instead of looking at Chu Tianshu's nineteenth death, he picked up the phone with a shattered screen.

He turned around and pushed open the door.

The... door to all truth.

Inside the door is a white staircase that goes all the way up. It floats in the dark, weird, weird and cold.

Lin Huai saw the transparent data stream floating around him. He remembered that he had seen such a scene before. The memories that were originally sealed in his brain and belonged to him were unlocked little by little with each step up.

He remembered that he was a ghost isolated in the war zone Wenxian.

He remembered that he was called the strongest virus by those white ghost-killing executors as "the zeroth of the Huai Sequence".

He is the original virus of Huai Xu, with all the original information. The rest of the ghosts are just his derivatives. They then regarded him as their father.

I remembered my acquaintance with the original white performer at the well. The white primordial executor was the appearance of a child at the time. It always looked at him silently and never spoke to him.

Think of the normal child Gu Youruo who accidentally broke into here, and the ghost who wanted to escape with the virus and infect the whole world.

He remembered that the ghost took away Gu Youruo. As a genius, Gu Youruo's last revenge before the consciousness dissipated was to take the original executor of ghosts out in his own consciousness.

In the many years that followed, the amnesiac ghost was in the outside world, married and had children, and with the birth of his own son, found himself taking the original executor out.

It used the last time to find a way to simulate Lin Huai's structure and compiled a pseudo-virus - also the original body of the game system. The whole game needs to rely on a powerful ghost like an engine - namely Lin Huai - as the core to drive. But Lin Huai is not there, it can only temporarily create a pseudo-virus that will grow, that is, the shadow, to temporarily replace it.

It tricks humanity into creating the Advent Foundation to aid its plot.

It wanted to take the original executor to Huiwen County to kill, and searched for Lin Huai, which only resulted in his own death. The blood-red virus somehow chose to protect the original executor, maybe out of fun, or maybe because it didn't want to go to the outside world to work as a core and work for the conspiracy to destroy the world.

But he eventually became a person in the world outside Wenxian because of an accident, the pull of the original executor, or the conspiracy of "Gu Youruo".

Lin Huai sequence.

Later, the amnesic virus and the original executor of amnesia reacquainted. The compiled pseudo-virus gave birth to its own will, formed a system, pulled sporadic supernatural events into the "copy" within its control, and was eager to devour the real virus for self-improvement. For this reason, it devoured the wills of several humans to perfect its functions, including Gu Chaosheng.

Later, enter the copy...

He felt the conspiracy, he felt shackled, he felt all the crises and the world that was about to collapse. He will never walk into the good night as calmly as Chen Liexue.

He will burn before the good night.

Then he entered the door, walked down the same long ladder, and saw the shadow. Sombra invites him to merge with it.

Lin Huai rejected it. He has not yet fully awakened his ability to be a virus, and he is still unable to resist the pseudo-virus shadow that has been entrenched for many years. He said, "Let's make a bet..."

Lin Huai stopped at the last step.

The door facing the last step was not a high-end or mysterious door. On the contrary, it is extremely ordinary, as ordinary as the door of a rental house in a unit building, and when you push it open, you can see a group photo of the two of them hanging in the living room...

Ordinary security door.

It turns out that the so-called "God" lives in such a door.

Lin Huai put his palm on the door. At that moment, he thought in a trance that he just got off get out of class again and returned home.

He remembered the content of his bet with Sombra.

His bet is... to close the game forever, he and the shadow will devour each other in the eternal darkness and in the eternal space, and fight repeatedly until they all turn to ashes in the long future.

"I will consume you completely, even if eventually, both of us will disappear from this world."

He heard his wanton voice again.

"I'm sorry, but such a heroic battle to death is more in line with me than infecting the world for the game 996 every day."

He also recalled many complicated memories.

Such as the copy at that time.

A copy before entering the door.

The dungeons of that time...where are the dungeons of today as easy and fun as today's dungeons. Players can even chat with examiners and NPCs.

The dungeon at that time... is a real life and death, a dungeon that is gut-wrenching, blood-drenched, and slaughtered with savage ghosts without sanity!

Even the memories of Chen Lixue and others in the current world... have been tampered with. Just like the world is supposed to be so relaxed and lively, even customs clearance should be free.

Lin Huai finally grabbed the door handle.

The doorknob was light, but when he opened it it seemed heavy. He felt that he was not opening a door, but shaking a whole world.

A whole... a world in which he was supposed to perish completely in darkness.
