Game, Live Stream

Chapter 127.1

Xiao Tangqiu took off the Abyss Demon’s mask to reveal an extremely familiar face underneath.

At this moment, there was a violent storm in his heart. No, it should be said… there were no words of shock that could describe his mood at this moment.

His mind went blank and he could hardly believe his eyes.

After a terribly long silence, Xiao Tangqiu called out a name in disbelief, “…Shen Yuan?”

The face under the mask, those cold features, the tear mole under the corner of his left eye. This was clearly Shen Yuan who had been with him day and night not long ago.

At this moment, even if a meteorite fell and hit him in the face, Xiao Tangqiu would still not be surprised. He mobilized almost every cell in his body and every neuron in his brain to barely turn his rusted brain. He squeezed out a sentence, “…Are you Shen Yuan?”

The Abyss Demon looked at Xiao Tangqiu calmly, “I am the Abyss Demon.”

Xiao Tangqiu still had that shocked expressionless expression, “You…”

The Abyss Demon continued to speak calmly, “…and also Shen Yuan.”

Xiao Tangqiu took a step back in disbelief, “You are the Abyss Demon and also Shen Yuan?”

The Abyss Demon… or Shen Yuan, he still maintained the appearance of having a sword in his chest, but there was not a drop of blood flowing from the wound. As he said, the Light God’s Sword had no effect on him.

“…Since when?” Xiao Tangqiu looked dazed, “Or, from the beginning?”

From the very beginning, since the first time he met Shen Yuan in the City of the Abyss, was that Shen Yuan already the Abyss Demon in disguise? The Shen Yuan he knew was the Abyss Demon from beginning to end?

“Does the real Shen Yuan really exist?”

Shen Yuan took the black mask with a small smile, “Since the Shen Yuan you have known from the beginning is me, does this question really matter to you whether a real Shen Yuan exists or not?”

Xiao Tangqiu fell into silence. That’s right, maybe Shen Yuan did exist a long time ago, and then he died at the hands of the Abyss Demon, so the Abyss Demon became Shen Yuan. So the Shen Yuan he knew was the Abyss Demon from beginning to end, so did it matter to him if Shen Yuan existed or not?

“You’ve been lying to us? …You’ve been lying to me?”

Shen Yuan spoke as he slowly took off the black glove on his hand, “I didn’t lie to you, before the last instance, I really didn’t have any memory of the Abyss Demon. I always really thought I was Shen Yuan.”

“The last instance?” Xiao Tangqiu was stunned for a moment, “So after I resurrected you in the last instance, you recovered your memory?” It turned out that in the last instance, he really successfully resurrected Shen Yuan. The Shen Yuan who was resurrected by him not only successfully revived, he retrieved his lost memories and regained his memory of being the Abyss Demon.

But, once Shen Yuan regained his memory of being the Abyss Demon, the person “Shen Yuan” died. Because there was no more Shen Yuan in this world, only the Abyss Demon.

“But… I’ve seen you both appear together… You were also killed by the Abyss Demon…” Even though he witnessed it with his own eyes, Xiao Tangqiu still couldn’t believe that Shen Yuan was the Abyss Demon.

Shen Yuan chuckled, “Yes, I did appear with me, and I did kill myself… Is there anything wrong with this? I am the master of this world, the God of this world. I can do whatever I want, however I want.”

Xiao Tangqiu’s face was pale, “You have been lurking around us pretending to be a human player, for what? What is your purpose?” The Abyss Demon wasn’t aiming for the Light God’s Sword which was said to be able to defeat him, what was the purpose of the Abyss Demon disguising as an ordinary human player and lurking around them?

Shen Yuan said casually, “Just because of boredom.”

“Boredom?” Xiao Tangqiu asked Shen Yuan in disbelief, “Just because of boredom?”

Shen Yuan hooked his lips and smiled, “You should have discovered it? The secret about your special ability card.”

Xiao Tangqiu’s heart turned to ash, “You mean the real identity of the audience in the live stream room?”

Shen Yuan nodded, “Yes.”

“Are you saying they’re all demons? Demons like you?” Xiao Tangqiu took another step back.

Shen Yuan sighed softly and said casually, “My people and I are the masters of this world, we have great power and a long life. We will inevitably feel bored after living a long time, so someone proposed to play a killing game…”

So the demons in this world summoned ordinary humans from another world and made them the prey in this killing game, the instances were hunting grounds, and the hunters were set loose demons. Their memories and powers were wiped and they became NPCs in the instance world.

With both hunters and prey, demons could sit outside the arena and enjoy the killing games for entertainment. There were also spectating demons watching who wanted to participate themselves, but because of the rules, the only way to enter the hunting arena is by the “Sacrifice Summon” special method.

The special ability card that Xiao Tangqiu accidentally obtained was the live stream room that could connect the real world where the demons lived and the instance world. The creator of this live stream room was none other than the Abyss Demon.

Xiao Tangqiu was shocked and numb, “The creator of the live stream room… is you?”

Shen Yuan smiled, “What I thought at the time was that it would be interesting if a human player could see our chatter, wouldn’t it? Maybe we can see more interesting things.”

Xiao Tangqiu shivered and heard Shen Yuan continue, “The last holder of this special ability card was Shen Yuan.”

Shen Yuan took off the gloves completely and it was only now that Xiao Tangqiu realized why this guy was wearing gloves. Perhaps it was because he had a hand kink and especially paid attention to everyone’s hands, especially good-looking hands, that’s why this guy wore gloves to hide his hands that look exactly like Shen Yuan?

He asked in disbelief, “The last holder of this special skill card was Shen Yuan?”

“Yes, he met me in the last main mission and was killed by me,” Shen Yuan smiled and explained casually, “At that time, I happened to be bored because of my long life, so I eliminated my own memory and became him, intending to experience a new life… His special ability card has since become a card with no master, landing your hands after a few years.”

Xiao Tangqiu closed his eyes. The waves of reversals today overwhelmed him. He originally thought that he failed to resurrect Shen Yuan and the Abyss Demon disguised as the resurrected Shen Yuan lurked around them, trying to use them to get the Light God’s Sword that was said to be able to defeat and kill himself and destroy it. But in fact, Shen Yuan had been the amnesiac Abyss Demon from the very beginning. The only thing he did when he resurrected Shen Yuan was to successfully restore his memory as the Abyss Demon.

Even that Light God’s Sword couldn’t defeat the Abyss Demon at all… So what if he passed the double test of the Light God’s Sword?

“…Are you going to kill me?”

Shen Yuan’s answer surprised Xiao Tangqiu, “Why should I kill you?”

Xiao Tangqiu closed his eyes and asked, “This killing game is over, I lost.”

Shen Yuan smiled, “But I don’t want to kill you…”

Xiao Tangqiu suddenly opened his eyes, but heard Shen Yuan continue to say, “I’m not interested in killing you, but I’m more interested in what you just said…”

“You just said… you are my creator, you are the creator of this world, what does that mean?”

Shen Yuan stared at Xiao Tangqiu’s eyes intently with a sharp interest in his eyes, “What did you mean when you said that this world is just a novel?”

Xiao Tangqiu broke the cracked pot, “It’s always been like this. Your world is just a series of settings I wrote down in my notebook when I was in junior high school. Whether it’s you or Shen Yuan, it’s all just characters I wrote down casually… Although I don’t know why I didn’t remember any of it at all when I first entered this horror game world, now I remember it.”

“According to my settings, you and Shen Yuan are not the same person at all. The relationship between you two is clearly the relationship between the hero and the demon boss. In the end, it should be the standard ending of the hero who successfully defeated the demon boss. How can you, the demon boss, kill the hero before the story even started? This is ridiculous! This is OOC! I will never admit that this novel was written by me! This must be some kind of OOC fanfiction!”

Shen Yuan said with a half-smile, “Who said that the demon boss can’t kill the hero at the beginning of the story? The type of demon boss who doesn’t kill when he should kill only to become killed in the end is truly OOC. They should be expelled from the Great Demon King camp.”

Xiao Tangqiu, “…That kind of demon boss is clearly the most common and typical demon boss! Your kind of demon boss is the OOC one! Get out of the demon circle!”

Shen Yuan raised her eyebrows, “Aren’t you afraid of me killing you now?”

Xiao Tangqiu simply sat down, “I can’t beat you anyway, even the Light God’s Sword is useless. Kill as you like, I can’t resist.”

What joke was this? From the very beginning, the demon boss they had to face was a demon boss with no solution! What a farce!

“Interesting, but I don’t want to kill you,” Shen Yuan curled his lips and smiled, “Since I’ve found the Light God’s Sword, it’s time for me to go back.”
