Chapter 110 God’s Dream (VIII)
Quan Shengyan had never experienced such emotional fluctuations before. He stretched out his hand, grabbed the edge of the cube, and refused to return to his own world.
Xiang Liangyu had turned around at this moment. Zhuge Xunzhen was standing in front of the railing. He was not standing very steadily and needed to hold the railing with both hands to keep his balance.
Xiang Liangyu knew that he had broken many of his bones, and the fact that he could still stand was already a miracle among miracles.
Behind him was the collapsing world, as if those huge rocks were about to fall on his head.
Xiang Liangyu sighed, stepped forward and said, "You should have told me earlier, do you need my help now?"
Zhuge Xunzhen raised the corner of his mouth and said, "No, I have succeeded."
Quan Shengyan had already climbed up from the edge. As soon as he stood up, he heard the sculpture behind him suddenly return to its position, covering the exit.
Xiang Liangyu turned around when he heard the voice and asked in confusion: "Why don't you leave?"
"Leave?" Zhuge Xunzhen's voice came, "Do you think that if you let those people go, they can really cut off all contact with this place? No! X, you have to know what the rules were when you created this world."
Xiang Liangyu was stunned, her mind working rapidly. She had lived here for hundreds of years and her memory had long been blurred. Now that Zhuge had pointed it out, she just felt as if she remembered something.
Indeed, in order to prevent the secret place she built from being discovered and disturbed, she specifically set a rule:
"If anyone who enters this place tells others, they will suffer from illness for the rest of their lives."
Zhuge Xunzhen: "Do you think that group of people will not reveal everything here to anyone? Friends, family, higher-level people, even cats and dogs, can they guarantee not to say a single word?"
"But I won't let them die so easily. Everything here is also my contribution, so I changed the rules. As long as they reveal everything here, the listeners will also enter this world. The listeners' listeners will spread the news to ten people, and ten people will spread the news to a hundred people!"
Xiang Liangyu curled his lips: "Z, you destroyed this place."
Zhuge Xunzhen: "Destroy? Yes, it was destroyed. But, you are still here. Use your ability to reshape it to rebuild it."
Xiang Liangyu: "I'm sorry to disappoint you. I haven't used it for too long. My ability to reshape has completely disappeared."
Zhuge Xunzhen was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened and he asked with a ferocious expression: "What did you say? What did you say?"
But after a moment, he restrained himself, laughed muffledly, and then rolled over from the railing and fell down.
Xiang Liangyu felt that Zhuge was a little weird, a bit like the symptoms of a neurotic disorder in human medicine. She just thought that he couldn't accept it and was acting impulsively because the blow he suffered was too great, so she ignored him.
She turned around and looked at Quan Shengyan indifferently: "You missed the best time to leave."
Quan Shengyan shook his head: "It doesn't matter. I just..."
Xiang Liangyu walked to the human face statue, took off the pair of ruby eyes, hid them inside his clothes, then sat on the sculpture table and said, "It's very strange. The players are gone, the world has collapsed, and there is no reshaping. What about the future?"
Quan Shengyan was also sitting next to her. He paused after hearing her murmur and said, "The future?"
Xiang Liangyu fell silent and changed the subject: "Why don't you leave?"
Quan Shengyan pursed her lips and said softly: "This place is much better than I thought. My life is too dull. After experiencing life and death, I will be depressed if I return to a dull life."
"Thank you for saving me."
Xiang Liangyu found it extremely novel. The reason she saved Quan Shengyan was because he was completely different from how he looked when she first met him in the game. Here he was a human, but in the game he was an innocent mermaid who was dragged into the game.
Perhaps it was because the golden fish tail was too stunning that Xiang Liangyu could not forget it for a moment, so she took him to the pool and used the fish tail to heal his wounds.
But in all honesty, this fish tail is just a healing effect, it is definitely not as solid as if it were grown. When she went back to the pool to check, she found that Quan Shengyan's fish tail had been completely glued to his lower body, as real as if it belonged to him completely.
It was also at that time that Xiang Liangyu felt as if something connected them. She thought that before the game was created, she had met Izumi Shengyan.
And for saving him, he was given a fish tail.
But Quan Shengyan's legs have recovered, and she has not deprived him of the ability to walk. Why would he give up life on land and choose the deep sea?
Xiang Liangyu asked: "If you return to the real world, would you choose to live on land or in the sea?"
Quan Shengyan said without hesitation: "In the sea."
Xiang Liangyu's heart moved: "Why?"
Quan Shengyan said: "A life that is too peaceful and without desire will lead to thoughts of death."
Xiang Liangyu was slightly stunned. No wonder, she finally understood why she could always feel a vague sense of silence from Quan Shengyan. She originally thought that his emotions were too stable, but she didn't expect that the silence would disappear in the next second.
Xiang Liangyu spoke faster than his brain: "I was wondering why when I saw you, I felt like I was going to die in the next second. So this is how it is."
Quan Shengyan smiled slightly: "So I am very grateful to you."
Xiang Liangyu raised an eyebrow: "Thank you for giving you a tail?"
Quan Shengyan did not answer, but asked: "When will I return it to you?"
Xiang Liangyu said vaguely: "Next time, next time."
With a "bang", the two heard a sharp sound of electricity, and then a floating screen appeared in the sky, showing the familiar gingerbread man.
Xiang Liangyu looked at the familiar system in the sky and suddenly understood.
At first, she created this thing. The first reason was that advanced technology could indeed save her a lot of trouble, and the second reason was that she wanted someone to talk to, so she gave this artificial intelligence self-awareness and also input some of her own abilities into the program.
No wonder this seemingly hopeless situation could develop to such an extent in the end. It turned out that the thing that turned everything around was created by her.
Xiang Liangyu was no longer surprised. She looked at the system in the sky. It became as familiar as she remembered. The original cute and timid expression disappeared, and turned into that annoying and changeable one.
Quan Shengyan frowned: "The world is recovering?"
Xiang Liangyu looked at the world that was being restored to its original appearance bit by bit, and was not surprised: "It is a replica of me, but its abilities are not as comprehensive, so the ability to reshape it has become restoration. So what should I do next?"
It was impossible to stop it. When the system gained self-awareness, Xiang Liangyu gave him the power switch for his own safekeeping. She felt that this was a sign of respect.
So she didn't know where the power supply of the system was. As long as the power supply was there, no matter how many times the system died, even if it was broken into powder, it could repair itself and be reborn.
Xiang Liangyu stood up, took out two rubies from his pocket and stuffed them into the eyes of the human-face statue. Then, at a speed that Quan Shengyan didn't even notice, he reached out and grabbed his shoulders and pushed him into the exit.
If he were to stay here, who knows what might happen in the future.
Quan Shengyan was swallowed up by the white light before he could even make a sound. The sculpture returned to its original position. Xiang Liangyu took the gem and walked to the railing, looking calmly at everything that was gradually restored in front of him.
Coincidentally, at this moment, the system in the sky turned to face the Life Tower, and its green eyes stared at Xiang Liangyu.
The world has returned to normal, and is even more beautiful than before.
The Life Tower began to shake. The internal tremors did not reach the point of collapse, but flat blocks rose from the outside to form a staircase surrounding the tower.
The system's normal expression suddenly turned into a grim smile, and its round eyes turned into sharp eyes: "Welcome to my game world!"
Xiang Liangyu said: "Hey, Green Man, you have been transformed, do you know that?"
A trace of confusion flashed across the system's face, and then it flickered for a moment before returning to its original grin: "Game, start!"
The system snapped its fingers, and Xiang Liangyu's feet were empty, and he fell straight down.
She closed her eyes as she fell, not with fear or timidity, but with relief and relief, relieved that she was not a robot but a living person. Although she didn't know what species she was and why the future would be like this, at least she wasn't a cold machine in the beginning.
With her back touching the soft inflatable bed, she entered the experimental area, which she had built for the system in order to allow the system to learn human architecture and medical technology. Unexpectedly, it would be used against her.
What followed was an endless transformation. Ever since she was injected with a sleeping needle, her consciousness has not been clear.
In a daze, she heard the conversation between Zhuge Xunzhen and the system, vaguely a conversation about her body.
Then there were more and more voices. Xiang Liangyu didn't know what they were saying, but he heard them calling his name.
"Xiang Liangyu..."
"Xiang Liangyu..."
“…”
Names with different tones and different times began to gather together, until a sentence exploded in my ears: "Xiang Liangyu!"
Xiang Liangyu suddenly opened her eyes, and the cold white light gradually focused her vision. She moved downwards. Beside the bed were the extremely anxious Fang Zi and Xiu Lu, and behind her stood Meng Dian.
Xiang Liangyu straightened up and leaned against the bed, glanced around the house, and said, "Why am I here?"
Xiu Lu complained, "You scared me to death. Why did you go to the old site for no reason? The system got really angry and said that when you wake up, you have to go to the Life Tower."
Meng Dian emphasized: "Xiang Liangyu, you are too reckless this time. The old site is a forbidden area."
Xiang Liangyu was silent for a while, then she sighed and said, "I know, I will go."
Go kill it.
Fang leaned close to Xiang Liangyu's ear and said, "Sister, can you tell me what happened in the old site? Ji Rendong screamed when he saw us after waking up. I almost thought he was crazy."
Xiang Liangyu thought that his brain was not broken, he just couldn't accept what he had done.
Xiang Liangyu said: "Just ask him and you'll know. I don't think it's a big deal."
She threw off the quilt and got down: "I'm going to the Life Tower."
"Wait!" Meng Dian stopped her and said, "Zhuge is not quite right, you... don't get into a fight with him."
Xiang Liangyu put on his coat, turned around and smiled when he heard it: "Don't worry, I will definitely make trouble with him."
Meng Dian: “…”
Fang Zi felt very strange: "Something is wrong. All three of them are not right. And that player, as soon as he woke up, he ran back to the first floor like crazy. No one could stop him. How could Xiang Liangyu be so calm?"
Xiu Lu continued: "Isn't she always calm?"
Fang Zi thought it made sense and nodded to show her agreement.
After Xiang Liangyu went out, he went to the third-floor Life Tower. When his eyes fell on the old church not far away, his eyes darkened. The system still abandoned its own things and let it die in time.
Suddenly, Xiang Liangyu stopped and saw a familiar figure standing at the entrance of the community.
Quan Shengyan turned his head sharply, and the two of them met eyes. He walked slowly to Xiang Liangyu and whispered, "How can I return your reshaping ability to its original owner?"
