Chapter 126
Meng Xinghe raised his eyebrows, “What did you remember?”
Xiao Tangqiu looked at the passing scenery through the car window, his expression seeming like he was a world away. Once he remembered everything, it was indeed a world away, “…That’s not a dream, this is a dream.”
Meng Xinghe scratched his head and didn’t seem to understand what Xiao Tangqiu said, “Dream?”
In that moment earlier, all the memories flooded into his mind at the same time. Xiao Tangqiu was like a computer that loaded a lot of information at once as he paused for a while before turning his head to look at Meng Xinghe.
“I’ve remembered it. All I’ve been through is real… Who the hell are you?”
Meng Xinghe blinked, “Are you joking? Of course I’m Meng Xinghe.”
Xiao Tangqiu’s tone was calm, “No, you are not him. He is dead.”
Meng Xinghe laughed, “But I’m still alive.”
Xiao Tangqiu pursed his lips, “But the Meng Xinghe in my memory is dead… He died in that car accident.”
Meng Xinghe raised his eyebrows, “Maybe it happened in another parallel world. In this world, I didn’t die and everything is fine… Isn’t that good?”
Xiao Tangqiu laughed and said, “This again. You created such a beautiful illusion to keep me here last time. This time erasing my memory and doing it again, but my answer is the same. Maybe if it’s me from two years ago, I’d choose to stay, but it’s not possible now.”
Meng Xinghe sighed, “You really don’t want to stay with me? Everything is fine in this world, I didn’t die in a car accident, and all disasters never happened…”
Xiao Tangqiu couldn’t help but fall into contemplation. Yeah, how beautiful this world was. Meng Xinghe would not die and he would not fall to the rock bottom of life because of this. Nothing bad has happened and everything stopped at the best moment…
“I like this world very much and I have imagined such a scene countless times. If the car accident hadn’t happened, if you hadn’t died, my life would have been different…” Xiao Tangqiu closed his eyes and seemed to fall into nostalgia. After a while, he opened his eyes again and his gaze became extremely firm, “But my answer is still the same, I won’t stay in an illusory fantasy, let me go back.”
Meng Xinghe was not angry, he raised his eyebrows and smiled, “Then what if I tell you, if you choose to stay in this world, your life will continue to move forward and you will still have a fulfilling life trajectory. My world can give you a perfect and complete life. How about a smooth journey to the end of your life?”
Xiao Tangqiu nodded, “This is indeed a big temptation, even if I can return to reality, I might not be able to have the perfect life you promised. But I still choose to go back. To have a perfect life in such a false world, what’s the difference between that and playing games? Anyway, everything is just a string of data.”
“Even if it’s virtual, if you take it as real, then the fake can become real, and the virtual can become real,” Meng Xinghe smiled slightly, “If you choose to stay, I can erase your memory again, allowing you to live in this world in a state of ignorance.”
Xiao Tangqiu laughed, “To me, these are really tempting&#k2026; But my answer is still the same.”
Meng Xinghe sighed, and seemed to be talking to himself and talking to Xiao Tangqiu at the same time, “What’s wrong with staying? In this world, you can live as you want, you can have everything you want, and you are the master and god of this world. No matter what kind of life you want to have, you can achieve it here… Why don’t you want to stay?”
Xiao Tangqiu was silent for a while, then shook his head, his eyes were very firm, “Although it’s good here, I prefer the sunshine in the real world, I want to go home to meet my parents, not a string of virtual data.” He not only wanted to leave this illusion, but he also wanted to leave the instance world and return to the real world.
“Then…” Meng Xinghe suddenly laughed, “Have you completely come out of the shadow of my death in a car accident? Have you come out completely?”
Xiao Tangqiu knew that the Meng Xinghe in front of him was just a string of virtual data, just an imaginary character simulated by an illusion. But for some reason, when Meng Xinghe spoke the question just now, he couldn’t help but fall into a daze and treat the person in front of him as a real Meng Xinghe.
…The real Meng Xinghe?
Xiao Tangqiu couldn’t help but fall into thought.
At some unknown point, the driver in the front row had disappeared. Meng Xinghe and he were sitting in a driverless taxi and the scenery passing by the window began to crumble a little by little, gradually turning into nothingness.
He didn’t know where the car would go or where the end of the ride was, but he still sat quietly in his seat, watching this virtual fantasy collapse a little bit.
Maybe this would be the last time he saw Meng Xinghe?
Xiao Tangqiu couldn’t help turning his head, wanting to take another look at Meng Xinghe, only to find that Meng Xinghe had disappeared at some point.
He was the only one left in the taxi.
Soon, this taxi also started to blur away.
Xiao Tangqiu subconsciously closed his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, he had returned to the Light God’s Labyrinth, before the stone throne. In front of him was the Abyss Demon wearing a black mask.
The Abyss Demon still maintained a posture of having just shot.
Xiao Tangqiu glanced down at his chest and saw that although the bullet had pierced through his body, he was unscathed and didn’t even feel any pain.
The Abyss Demon on the opposite side didn’t seem surprised either. He slowly put down the gun in his hand and smiled darkly, “It seems that you have successfully withstood the test of the Light God’s Sword.”
Only then did Xiao Tangqiu realize that the Light God’s Sword in his hand was glowing. This ancient stone sword was exuding an extremely dazzling light… Could it be that this sword blocked a blow for him?
“But it’s a pity,” the Abyss Demon didn’t worry because Xiao Tangqiu got the Light God’s Sword that was said to be able to defeat him but was as calm and elegant as always, “Even if you got the Light God’s Sword, you can’t beat me.”
Xiao Tangqiu raised his eyebrows, “Oh? Why?”
The Abyss Demon smiled darkly, “Because I am the God who created this world. Everything in this world is created by me, not only the Light God is created by me, but also the Light God’s Sword is created by me… you can’t defeat me with what I created.”
“The Light God’s Sword was created by you?” Xiao Tangqiu pursed his lips.
The Abyss Demon tapped his own ribs with his gloved hand through the black trench coat, “Yes, the Light God is my other side, my light side, he was born from me… He took a rib from me when he was born, and that is his weapon, the Light God’s Sword.”
“So that’s how it is,” Xiao Tangqiu understood, “so the Light God’s Sword is your rib?”
No wonder the Light God was willing to bet with the Abyss Demon. His most powerful weapon was originally stolen from the other.
The Abyss Demon smiled lightly, “The Light God can defeat me with my rib, but he can’t kill me. People other than him, even if they get the Light God’s Sword, can’t defeat me, let alone kill me.”
Xiao Tangqiu nodded, “This is indeed very reasonable… So you used us to find the Light God’s Sword not because you were afraid that we could defeat you and kill you if we got the Light God’s Sword, but because you wanted to recover your lost rib?”
“You really are a smart kid.”
Xiao Tangqiu looked down at the Light God’s Sword shining brightly in his hand, “So… even if I get the Light God’s Sword, I can’t defeat you, let alone kill you?”
The Abyss Demon, “Of course, I am the master of this world, I am the God of this world. In my world, no one can defeat me.”
Xiao Tangqiu was suddenly struck by a thought as the Abyss Demon slowly walked towards him, “Come on, give me the Light God’s Sword… After so many years, it should be returned to its original owner.”
Just as the Abyss Demon walked up to Xiao Tangqiu and the two were within arms reach, Xiao Tangqiu suddenly laughed, “No… you are not the creator of this world.”
The Abyss Demon slowly said, “I am the world’s Creator Demon.”
“No, you are not,” Xiao Tangqiu laughed, “because I am!”
The Abyss Demon took a step.
“You are indeed the Creator Demon. The City of the Abyss, the Light God, and the Light God’s Sword are indeed created by you… but all of these are created by me, including you, the Abyss Demon. You are also my creation. I am the God of this world. “
Xiao Tangqiu’s tone was unprecedentedly emotional, but also unprecedentedly calm.
“I am the creator of this world, you are created by me, and everything you create is actually created by me… Because this world is just a novel I wrote, and you are just a character written by me. After all, if I, the author, give this Light God’s Sword the power to kill you, then this Light God’s Sword can kill you.”
Xiao Tangqiu raised the Light God’s Sword without hesitation and stabbed it into the heart of the Abyss Demon.
The Abyss Demon looked at Xiao Tangqiu through the black mask, any expression blocked by the mask.
His heart was pierced by the sword and stood in place.
Xiao Tangqiu sneered, “Then… let me see your true face…”
He didn’t hesitate to raise his hand to take the black mask off the Abyss Demon’s face.
