"Damn guy, finally gone far?" I cautiously stuck my head out, worried, and watched the bulky figure recede in the distance. I couldn't help but feel that it should be much stronger than Jason.
But now it's okay, the bulky guy opened a path for me, and I can follow... Just when I was about to leave, the bulky guy suddenly tore down the barricade in front of him, scaring me back!
Hehehe, let's run away from where it came from!
I dashed quickly in a dark corridor, hoping to see the light that belonged to me.
But no matter how fast I ran, I could never catch up to the light ahead, or even see it.
I don't know when it started, but my existence has become a sin.
I have thought about what will happen after I disappear, and I have also feared death.
But... I am now afraid because I cannot die!
In front of me, the gray color gradually turned a little lively, but this vitality appeared in the city.
"Is anyone here?!" I shouted, but no one answered.
Where did everyone go? I opened my eyes and couldn't find anyone. The rooms and streets were empty, as if no one had lived here for many days.
The sheets on the beds in the rooms were almost rotten, and even the switches were broken.
Returning to the window, I leaned out and looked down.
"Where am I again?!"
The scene on the street is something you can only see on the day of the world's end!
Cars collided with each other, and the flames on them were not completely extinguished. The sign of a large shopping mall nearby fell to the ground, creating a one-meter deep pit.
The sky was occupied by countless flocks of birds, looking very spectacular.
"What is this! It smells terrible..."
Just as I opened the door a crack, a rotten smell rushed towards me, causing me to close the door again.
"What kind of place is this?! I feel like... I've been here before?"
My intuition told me that there were some unfriendly guys lurking in the corridor.
When I arrived at the toilet, at the moment I pushed the door, I felt an invisible pressure blocking the door.
"Is the door locked?"
Everything still felt so familiar, as if I had been here before in front of this room.
"How did it become like this?!"
There was a gloomy feeling everywhere, even on the spacious road in broad daylight, there was hidden danger lurking nearby, waiting for the passersby to escape at any time.
It's better to hide in this hotel for now, and see that there is a bottle of mineral water and a sausage on the table. I'll wait until dawn to decide.
At night, without electricity, there was naturally no light or heating.
"Really... Are there no warm things here at all?"
After searching through the dusty kitchen cupboard, the only thing I could find was a bottle of red wine and a disposable lighter.
God bless, may the gods bless, I just hope that this lighter still has some fuel left...
Click! After a crisp sound, a flame burst out of the lighter, it was great!
I couldn't help but feel a little excited, so while this flame could go out at any time, I quickly lit a pile of encyclopedias and curtain-like things that I gathered together.
As for the strong liquor... Although I really wanted to use it to quench my thirst, it was obviously a stupid thing to do.
But leave the words...oh well, they might come in handy in the future.
And so, I strapped the bottle of strong liquor to my waist, and stuffed the lighter into my pocket.
Without curtains, now all I need to do is raise my head slightly to see some of the sights outside, including the dilapidated buildings under the moonlight.
Everywhere is so empty, lonely, and dark.
"What time is it now? How much longer until daylight?"
Without a watch or phone, I can't tell the time at all. I can only wait, keep waiting.
It's inevitable because I can only go down the path I least want to go.
Invisible pressure accuses this place, and every now and then, my energy is depleted by a large amount.
Furthermore, it's already late, and if I can't find a safe spot outside at this time, it would be adding insult to injury.
As midnight arrives, only my room on this entire floor is still brightly lit. The other floors and buildings are quietly sleeping in a black mist.
Clap, clap, clap...
Just when I decided to spend the night and wait for daylight, a hurried footsteps sound came from the fourth floor, and my first reaction was...someone!
"Hey, up there! Is anyone there?"
The current atmosphere of silence and loneliness is terrifying. Just having one more person would bring a sense of safety.
In this desperate situation, the best hope is that they are the Association.
Creak...
I finally took the brave first step.
Of course, considering the initial overpowering stench, I opened the door this time with caution.
For illumination, I collected the desk lamps and some fabric that could be used as a guide inside the hotel.
After some tinkering, I finally made an alcohol lamp using the strong liquor as fuel.
The walls around the corridor are cracked, so I must be extra careful when walking.
Every step feels like I'm walking on a fragile piece of cardboard, ready to collapse at any time.
I have to worry about the danger of stepping on nothing, paying close attention to the gaps on the ground.
Fortunately, it's not that bad here...wait, why do I feel like I've been here before?
Just as I was pondering, the athletic figure at the end of the corridor made it clear that it had come— the previous monstrous creature!!!
It quickly attacked me, but in the blink of an eye, the room became extremely bright again.
"Why am I here?"
What puzzled me was that the creature had disappeared without a trace, and I didn't even know what kind of world I was in.
It's not over yet, there is no blue sky and white clouds in this world, the entire sky is gray, and there is no way to tell if it's cloudy or rainy.
Just when I couldn't tell the directions, the whole world turned upside down, and the roads cracked and even collapsed!
Aahhhh!!!
Along with a series of screams, someone woke me up from behind.
When I regained my senses, I found myself in the "real" world.
I'm not sure if this is really the real world, but based on the current situation, I can at least call it the real world for now.
Turning around, I saw Yu Nai, who had come back, waking me up.
"Yu...Yu Nai?"
"It's just out of curiosity, I have no ill intentions."
"Robbery is just robbing the rich to help the poor, is it a childish lie like this?"
"Uh, please don't tell the administrator, she'll punish me twice as hard. Don't you want to work overtime in security forever?"
"Well, that depends on my mood!"
"..."
"But speaking of which, I don't want to work overtime continuously either. Working nearly thirty hours a day, even if my body can handle it, I would still feel mentally exhausted."
"Phew!"
I heaved a sigh of relief, finally able to catch my breath.
"It's already nighttime, let me get a good night's sleep."
The temple's collapse...
A temple stood between the vast, almost infinite Celestial Realm (the ancient universe), large enough to accommodate the living spirits. This lost city nestled in the end where even light could not escape from the black hole. This palace, revered by people as the divine palace, awaited eternity in this lifeless and lonely Celestial Realm without any signs of life.
Countless murals of the Wugods were carved on the walls of the temple. In the center of the altar, I closed my eyes, lying peacefully on the unfamiliar girl's icy and refreshing thighs.
Although she appeared to be only ten years old with her golden curly hair cascading to the ground, the girl gently caressed my hair.
"You have done well... You have changed the future, and I will no longer exist!"
"Is that so? That's good..."
I already knew the girl's past. Even if I couldn't open my eyes now to see her face, I could feel that we had once had such close contact long, long ago.
The City of Clouds and the girl's figure began to crumble little by little. If our future was also like this, it would be better to start over.
"Juxi... Oh no, it's Xi... Goodbye!"
The girl who claimed to be a goddess and the majestic palace gradually faded from the memories of time's door.
"Remember this day, remember my past and your future!"
The goddess left her palace, and the world was freed from its shackles. The lives we had once mercilessly killed naturally had life and death separations as well.
However, all of this would be faded away by the memories of time's door. Perhaps we truly couldn't see the future created by the crystal energy?
"Well, let's create our own memories in the next reincarnation."
I had another strange dream...
Of course, I was already used to such dreams.
As usual, I was responsible for the work in the library, and I must say, the library was the most mysterious place in the treetop house.
Speaking of which, that's why we had to work in the library... but it didn't seem entirely right.
I didn't like working here, and Yu Nai felt the same way. She also didn't like it, just like me, she hated this job.
In the end, it was all because our daily task was to guard these books, and there were no customers coming here, which naturally felt very strange.
Yu Nai started dragging me to morning exercises early in the morning. Anyway, I didn't have anything else to do, so I went to the seaside with her for a jog.
But on the other hand, thanks to the help of nanobots, my body recovered very quickly. I was able to run continuously for an hour without any issues.
"How about taking a short break? I'm starting to get bored," I suddenly suggested.
