Chapter 099 Who loves her?
My thoughts gradually returned to Gu Yi.
Gu Yi shook his head and looked forward.
In the midst of nothingness, my sister was squatting in the corner with her knees hugged, sobbing softly.
Gu Yi walked towards her using his hands and feet, the clown mask on his face was breaking bit by bit - even a clown mask could not resist the invasion of the void for long.
Gu Yi wanted to shout loudly, but suddenly remembered the rules for using the mask and now he couldn't speak.
He struggled to walk to his sister and patted her shoulder gently.
My sister slowly turned her head, her eyes were empty and dark tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.
"A clown... a clown..."
Gu Yi pointed to his face.
"ah!"
My sister suddenly opened her mouth and let out a shrill scream.
Gu Yi's eardrum was pierced , and countless white bone branches shot out from his sister's chest and headed straight towards him.
Countless cracks appeared on the clown's mask again, and he had to hold the mask at all times.
My sister's strange power is too strong.
She was unable to communicate, and even if she found the most powerful plot prop in the copy, she was unable to counteract her sister's strange power.
There is really no way to resolve my sister's resentment.
In their original families, they were insulted and beaten, and after being sold, they were just tools used by others.
If it were Gu Yi, he would also degenerate until he became as unspeakable as his sister.
Is it... that there is no other way?
Everyone in the real world, have you completed the tasks I assigned to you?
Crunch, crunch—
Gu Yi's mask began to shatter, and a black glove appeared in front of him, pulling him out of the void.
"Wow!"
Gu Yi's mask broke into eight pieces. He sat down on the chair, staring at everything around him in a daze.
This was the screening room he had been to last time. On the big screen was playing a scene of himself confronting his sister in the void, and the movie was frozen at the moment before his mask shattered.
"Gu Yi, you can't survive."
The host's voice came from behind. He sat down next to Gu Yi, took out a bucket of popcorn and ate it leisurely.
"Don't be unconvinced." The host said with a smile, "My ability to predict the future is a hundred times or a thousand times stronger than yours. I can predict thousands of outcomes in an instant. No matter how you communicate with your sister in the end, you will die."
Gu Yi didn't say anything.
"I know you don't believe it, but if I show you, you will believe it."
The host took out the remote control from his pocket and pressed the switch.
Countless clips flashed across the screen, all showing various ways in which Gu Yi died.
The heart was pierced by branches.
Crushed into mud by tree trunks.
His eyes were gouged out by his sister.
No matter how hard she tries, no matter how much she persuades, her sister will eventually kill Gu Yi.
"How is it? Have you given up?"
Gu Yi leaned back in his chair like a puddle of mud, "Hmm... it's a good shot. I haven't experienced dying by having my eyes gouged out. I'll try it when I get a chance."
The host was stunned for a moment, and even he felt creepy.
"Gu Yi, I know what you are thinking. You are still worried about your family, right? It doesn't matter, as long as you promise me to join us and become a host, I can guarantee that your parents will have a good life and enjoy an endless life."
“What exactly does a host do?”
"He can become the master of the copy world." The host laughed, "The more people die in your copy world, the stronger your power will be. The world you can create will be more dangerous and the rules will be more complicated. In the end, you can be immortal and live forever."
"Oh, I'm not interested."
Gu Yi remained unmoved. He squinted his eyes, reached out to take a piece of popcorn from the host's arms and stuffed it into his mouth.
“What are you resisting?
Do you really care about the survival of other humans? Is there anyone in this world who is worth your desperate efforts? Human nature is ugly and selfish, and the story of this copy is the best annotation.
Who caused my sister's tragedy?
It was her parents - the parents she should have loved the most.
Because she is a daughter, she is a money-loser in her parents' eyes and can only be sold as a whore when she grows up.
The town where she was born made a living by buying and selling human beings. There were countless corpses of innocent people buried under the poplar forest behind the town.
She was sick, but her parents refused to treat her. In order to squeeze out the last bit of value from her, they sold her to someone else.
The only grandmother who loved her eventually died in the hospital.
The only brother who loved her only lived in her imagination.
Do her parents love her?
Does the world love her?
Is it fair to love her?
Does Justice love her?
Crunch, crunch—
The sound of Gu Yi chewing popcorn echoed in the screening room.
The host grinned and placed popcorn on Gu Yi's knees, "Join us and make all humans pay the price they deserve."
"Pooh--"
Gu Yi spat out the contents of his mouth.
"do you know?
You are like the stone you chew when eating popcorn, like a bottle of not-so-cold Coke you buy after playing basketball, like a big bump bitten by a mosquito on the sole of your foot, like an achievement you discover has not been completed after completing a game.
Although none of this can hurt you, it just makes you feel uncomfortable.”
The color palette on the host's face kept changing, and he clenched his fists tightly, shaking slightly.
Gu Yi turned his head to look at the host and gave a bright smile.
“Humanity’s survival to this day is definitely not based on selfishness. Sharing, unity, sacrifice, dedication, and courage are beliefs engraved in our bones.
In primitive society, if you don’t know how to share food, your companions will starve to death , and when you encounter dangerous wild beasts, they will not be able to help you.
In the face of terrible natural disasters, human beings are the Great Wall that holds each other hostage. Countless times, we have used our own flesh and blood to build walls to block mountain torrents and tsunamis.
I have seen firefighters sacrifice their lives trying to save lives in fires;
I have seen volunteers who have helped disaster victims silently and without asking for anything in return;
I have also seen countless adventurers who refuse to submit to the gods and dare to challenge the weirdness. They would rather die than bow to trash like you.
These are the immortal spirits that we have passed down from generation to generation.
We, the Dragon people, do not believe in God and we do not accept our fate.
One day we will eliminate all weirdness and the so-called gods!"
"presumptuous!"
The host stood up from his chair, and Gu Yi also stood up and threw the popcorn in his hand on the host's face.
“You saw the ugliness of human nature in this copy, but I saw the brilliance of human nature.
Even though her life was miserable and she suffered a lot, the sister always remained optimistic and always believed that her brother would protect her.
Even though my sister was a girl, my grandmother still treated her as her dearest granddaughter and never abandoned her. She was willing to protect her granddaughter even at the risk of getting hurt herself.
Even though his brother is a non-existent ghost, he is still willing to give up his chance to become a human being and his own life just to wake up his sleeping sister and fulfill his duties as a brother.
what about you?
You are nothing but a scum who betrays humanity, betrays faith, and betrays yourself. What shitty qualifications do you have to judge human nature here?"
"Good... Really good... Good of you! Just continue to be the human hero you are, and get out of here!"
The host clenched his fist and punched Gu Yi on the nose.
Gu Yi's nose was bleeding and stars were appearing in his eyes.
When he regained his sight, his sister appeared before him again.
