Everything is daunting when you immerse yourself in it.
Once you find yourself in the "I" perspective, some emotions become uncontrollable.
He always knew his situation well, knew he wasn’t subjected to a spiritual invasion, knew this wasn’t an illusion.
He also knew what he had to do. From the beginning, he considered the cruelest possibility.
But precisely because he was awake and aware, because it wasn’t an illusion or spiritual invasion... it became increasingly difficult.
"Is my world... not worth surviving?" 045 Wen Xishu looked fearfully at Wen Xishu.
Wen Xishu shook his head:
"It’s not about worthiness, it’s that my world can’t be replaced."
"I’m sorry, I have to kill you."
Wen Xishu immediately said:
"Can’t we both refuse to tick √, to protest the game?"
Wen Xishu shook his head:
"I can’t afford to gamble."
Indeed, he couldn’t afford to gamble.
Once someone ticks √ first, there are only two possible outcomes...
Either both worlds perish, or his own world perishes.
Simply put, no matter what, his world should come to an end.
Wen Xishu was also unsure, even if ticking a form, even imprisoning the Otherworldly Me, even knocking out the Otherworldly Me... all carried substantial risks.
This was world-ending, the cost meant destroying all his ties.
He dared not gamble on any risks.
The eyes of Blue Star Wen Xishu grew increasingly bleak, he couldn’t think of a way.
"My brother is still waiting for me... don’t kill me... don’t kill me..."
In the last moments of his life, he could only repeat one sentence.
This sentence did not make Wen Xishu’s silhouette waver.
Wen Xishu had already summoned the shadow, turned his head away.
Even the shadow seemed to realize this was a simple yet utterly messed up task.
The shadow waited for a gesture from Wen Xishu.
Shortly, a muffled groan came, the shadow’s technique was exceedingly decisive, devoid of any sense of torture, purely aimed at finishing the opponent off.
Soon, the shadow disappeared, along with Blue Star Wen Xishu’s life.
No luck, no surprises, no miracles.
Wen Xishu looked at the dead Otherworldly Me, his whole being gradually became dazed.
After a while, he lifted the opponent’s body, placed it in a corner, allowing it to remain in a leaning position like sleeping in the corner.
At this moment, when he touched the opponent, there were no longer any memories about the other world.
Because that world, and everyone there, had already vanished.
[Due to insufficient participants, you have become the winner of the second round and a half of the game. Please wait patiently for the third round to begin.]
Wen Xishu thought for a moment, then sat beside the corpse of the Otherworldly Me, beginning to wait alone.
...
...
Within these fifteen minutes, many similar tragedies were happening.
successfully returned, naturally, so did 001 Wen Xishu.
Having seen those exaggerated mechanical life’s armor, 001 Wen Xishu somewhat admired 005 Wen Xishu.
"You are very low-key, your world still has many possibilities."
Wen Xishu spoke in a calm tone.
Entirely different from 046 Bunker Wen Xishu, there was not a shred of emotional fluctuation visible in his eyes.
Wen Xishu said:
"Did you see the Wise?"
Wen Xishu nodded:
"I saw it, it’s the Pisces."
Wen Xishu said:
"Then did you find the answers you sought? But I always feel like your world no longer has the correct answers."
Wen Xishu did not deny:
"Yes, my world, although I am strong, I’ve answered every question incorrectly."
Wen Xishu said:
"So... will you kill me? Or fulfill me?"
Wen Xishu said:
"Your world, and mine, has differing strength, the disparity is too great."
"That drunkard acted unnecessarily, but if I were him, I would do the same."
"But the problem now is, I can’t fulfill a world weaker than mine in terms of strength dimension."
"Your world doesn’t have the Three Towers."
The light in 005’s eyes gradually dimmed.
"Then, do it."
Wen Xishu calmly nodded. No apologies, no excuses.
He had seen too many die, in his world, the only remaining connection wasn’t the people in the bunker, nor the constellations outside the bunker...
But the creature in the Dragon Hide Plan that even the Outer God couldn’t erase...
Or rather, that plan has reached the second stage, called the Dragon Rise Plan.
But that lunatic, in a fit of rage, could even kill him.
They are not on the same path, even if they share a common enemy.
A world without any partners really holds no meaning to exist anymore.
Before becoming extremely lonely, 001 Wen Xishu thought solitude wasn’t scary.
But once truly alone, he understood that sense of powerlessness.
Before dying, 005 surprisingly felt relieved about everything:
"We’ll ultimately share the same ending."
Wen Xishu nodded:
"Yes, we’ll ultimately share the same ending."
Wen Xishu died, with the mechanical core destroyed. That was as brilliant a core as the Pisces.
...
...
Wen Xishu and 098 Assassin Wen Xishu also survived in each other’s world.
They faced the same choice.
"Seems like I will be killed by you?" 007 Wen Xishu was rather composed.
Wen Xishu said:
"My journey ends here."
"I want to kill you but it’s meaningless, because my assassination skills appear insignificant in those worlds with superpowers, although I believe with some training, my deciphering ability wouldn’t be weaker than yours..."
