Chapter 426 [Chapter Guizhang POT] Archive before the ending
It is not easy to come into this world, but it is very easy to leave this world.
Liu Quan only felt that there was a blur in front of his eyes, and he was in the "Endless Palace" again in an instant.The rotunda was still magnificent, and the four locked doors lined up on the wall facing her.
That represented the four worlds she had lived through.But at this moment, Liu Quan noticed that there was a new door on the right side of the door in the HP world.
She walked over, and as expected, she saw the number of [Prince of Tennis #1692357*] on the door.
This number and the world number of the previous Novice Village are actually next to each other!This suspicious feature must not be a coincidence...? !
Also, what does the asterisk at the top right of that number mean? !Does it mean that this world is just a world of additional tasks, which is "essentially different" from the world of mainline tasks—according to the system bacteria? !
But Liu Quan also knew that the system bacteria he had to face had never been a lovable, warm and considerate guy.What it didn't want to tell her, it wouldn't say a word about unless she deduced it herself.
Of course, now, the things it wants to mention are also very embarrassing.
[Player, don't you want to wipe your face? 】
A box of Kleenex suddenly appeared on a table in the middle of the rotunda.
Liu Quan: "..."
Too lazy to argue with this vicious guy, she walked over unceremoniously, took out a few tissues from the tissue box, wiped the corners of her eyes, wiped her face, and then deliberately blew her nose loudly.
Even though System Bacteria had no entity, it seemed that she was shocked by her rude behavior and became a clean freak.It snorted, and said in a disgusted tone: [... Has the rebellious period appeared, player. 】
Liu Quan ignored its sarcasm and said, "...Please give me a trash can."
The system bacteria snorted again, and then a trash can actually appeared under the table.
Liu Quan rolled up the tissue in his hand and threw it in, and couldn't help but make a joke.
"Hey, is my system so easy to use today? Then I'll try something else—may I ask you a god?"
The system bacteria snorted heavily this time.
[Being able to say this sentence means that you have made a choice in your heart? 】
Liu Quan was slightly taken aback.
Of course, System Bacteria would not let go of this last chance to taunt the player.
[Mission, well done. 】It said in a businesslike tone.
[Now, your points and task completion have reached the standards required by Perfect Ending. 】
[Congratulations, player, you can choose a world to continue living in, or go home. 】
Its tone suddenly changed.
[However, as a partner who has cooperated with you in five worlds, I would like to remind you of the following points:
1. The world you choose to return to must be your original world, or one of the four main worlds without an asterisk in the number in the completed world shown in this lobby.
2. Once you choose the world to return to, the road to other worlds will be permanently closed.In other words, even if you regret choosing this world, you must continue to live in this world until you die.
3. If you choose not to return to the native world, but to return to one of the four main worlds that have been cleared in the game, all the skills you have learned in this game will be permanently retained.But if you choose to return to the world of this life, your skills will be permanently withdrawn by the system, and you will no longer be able to use them in the future.
4. When you enter the world of your final choice, your points will be permanently cleared.This system and all functions attached to it will be permanently closed to you.
above. 】
Liu Quan: "..."
The description of the systemic bacteria has been clearly expressed.She didn't even need to ask a question.
A look of embarrassment and pain unreservedly floated between her brows and eyes.Standing in front of that table, she clenched her hands into fists unconsciously, and then thumped on the table, her upper body leaned forward slightly, her eyes fixed on the four closed doors in front of her.
【how?Can't choose? 】The system bacteria asked back with a mocking look.
Liu Quan: "..."
If the choice is so easy, what a good girl it is.
It is precisely because she thinks she is a good girl that she must have felt particularly difficult and painful when faced with this choice of "family affection or love".
Of course, it doesn't seem so accurate to say that the relationship between her and her parents is so close that she can't let go - her parents have been extremely busy since she was very young, often leaving her at her grandmother's house for a long time. On a business trip, I went there for more than half a year without seeing anyone.After entering junior high school, she began to live on campus again. When her grandmother passed away in her freshman year, she felt as if the person who loved her the most in the family had gone, and there was a layer of separation between the rest of the people and her. Same.
...This is probably why she was able to adapt to the deformed parent-child relationship of Liu Quan's family very quickly.Because treating each other politely with her parents is something she is used to doing.
But this is not enough to prove that such parents can be categorically abandoned.At least, although they are workaholics, they haven't given her any less living expenses since they were young.Even though they gave birth to a younger brother when she was in the first year of junior high school, they didn't give birth to patriarchal children because of this, and bullied her like a tragic heroine in a family ethics drama.
There is nothing to blame them too much - because the parents just chose hard work over family reunion, like many people in that era.A left-behind child like her who has lived in a big city for a long time cannot even be classified as a real "left-behind child".
But this is not the time when there is a lack of family affection, and one has to desperately hold more love to make up for oneself.What's more, she didn't even know if there was a so-called love waiting for her in the world she had chosen.
It was rare to see the player who was always full of talking skills and was silent for a long time, unable to answer, and the system did not rush.It's just that it added a sentence at the right time:
[Why don't players make decisions after experiencing it for themselves? 】
Liu Quan: "...I'm sorry, what did you say?!"
Probably the player's rare politeness (?) made the system bacteria feel a burst of satisfaction (not), and its voice began to carry a bit of a superior, unpredictable smile.
[Since it’s hard to decide, let’s try it out.According to the final statistical results of your actual affection for each world, I can send you to experience for an hour in a world where you actually have the highest affection for the native characters of the world. 】
Liu Quan: "What...?! This cheating game actually has such considerate service..."
System Bacteria smiled, ignoring her weak complaints.
[Games that don't consider players are not good systems. 】
Liu Quan immediately showed an expression of being unable to complain.
The system bacteria snorted and laughed.
[Of course, we are not really [-]% unreasonable.In the final analysis, how reliable is a substitute generated by a piece of data? Of course, it is not as reassuring as a living person to fill the vacancy left by one's original role, right? 】
Liu Quan was silent for a moment.
"It turns out that you are cheating people to continue to fill in the pits for you for the rest of your life after completing the game....Sure enough, you shouldn't expect anything from your integrity."
System bacteria showed a rare good temper today...and a good mood.
【Well, it is easy for people to be afraid of the unknown future... So, it is not impossible for you to see the situation you will face in advance.Willing to stay in a certain world will not cause any instability to the world? 】
Liu Quan: "...It sounds like you have taken the initiative to remove the option of [Natural World] for me."
System Bacteria: [No, no, no~ Of course not.However, let’s talk about everything after you have finished the experience, right? 】
Liu Quan: "...Thank you."
There is no room for polite refusal at all.I don't know why, but deep down in my heart, I don't really want to resolutely refuse.
But the question that should be asked should be said first.
"...I only have one hour, I hope I don't waste all my time on the way." She said, "Just like in Hakuouki's world, I was only given 24 hours, and it was impossible to find Say goodbye to Xiaoyi together?"
If the system bacteria had an entity, it must have raised eyebrows at this time.
【Oh?I didn't expect you to still remember him—is this your lifelong regret? 】It asked jokingly.
Liu Quan snorted, but did not answer.
[Don't worry, since it's for players to experience, we won't put players in a place far away from key figures, and let players waste time on positioning and rushing. ] System Bacteria added a sentence with a hint of mockery(?).
[In addition, the last point that needs to be explained is that if the player finally chooses any of the worlds in the game that have been cleared, they will get a randomly drawn "settlement reward package"? 】
Liu Quan: "...I understand. This reward mechanism is like forced immigration. If you want me to settle and open up wasteland in an inaccessible place where no birds can lay eggs, you must first agree to give me a large piece of land for free. Taste of being a landlord, eh?"
The system bacteria laughed.
【Sa, please—】
A white light flashed, and Liu Quan found himself standing in the——
The curb of a road.
As for the gate across the road, she was all too familiar with it.
On the wall next to that door, there is a huge school badge that is still shining like new.
As if some mysterious force dominated her body, Liu Quan walked across the road like sleepwalking, and walked straight to the door.After staring at the school badge for a full 5 minutes, she suddenly walked into the school.
No one stopped her.This is a world to experience and relive.Probably no one will notice her, and no one will recognize her.
She walked straight across the campus, passing people who were talking and laughing like ordinary people, or standing somewhere on the campus, and walked into a building, and climbed to the top of the building familiarly.
Standing next to the high safety net on the roof, she looked in a certain direction from afar.
As far as the eye can see, there is a beautiful playground.It was afternoon, which was the time for the department to work.Those boys and girls, just like herself in her memory, on the playground, in the wind, facing the brilliant light of the setting sun, their eyes are bright, they are smiling, or clenching their teeth, ignoring their bodies and spirits Going to the limit, running with all my strength.
Just looking at the playground in a daze, her slender fingers passed through the gap in the safety net, and her hands unconsciously clasped the wire net.
It stands to reason that in this world, according to the simple instructions of the system bacteria, she should not need to work hard to find the person she wants to meet—at least the person who is very important to the plot in this world - That's right.
But so far, she has come here all the time, and still hasn't met any important people in this world.
She couldn't help thinking with a bit of mockery, is it because there are too many important characters in the plot in this world, and the system statistics can't count them, so they are all canceled?Anyway, it's hard to tell whether this is a real or a virtual world, and even if she chooses this place, she still has to go back to the resplendent and resplendent endless palace to choose again, and then be cast again——
...Oh, damn system bacteria.
What if such a character never appeared, and the one-hour time limit passed like this, and she decided to choose the world of this life and return to reality?
Does that mean that even if it is a virtual character, she will never be able to see the person she once cared about in this world, the person she once missed in other worlds?
In this life, in the next life...he will always live in the original book, in the manga, in the TV, in this broken game, in every fan, and in this will continue to increase In the worlds of fandom... However, he has so many places where he can live, but no matter which place, it will be a world that she can't touch or go to?
The sun was setting.The evening wind gradually became cooler, and it blew past her eyes, making it seem like there was a bit of coolness there.
The time he can stay in this world... is only half an hour left.
If she still can't meet that person...then unless she runs to knock on the door of his house, the last time they met—the last time when she conquered this world, will be the last time meet.
At that time... when she had to leave this world, or even this game, she really hoped that she could at least finally have the chance to look at his back from behind and say Farewell.
1 minute is fine.Or, just a second.In this way, it is a good farewell.
Perhaps, in the future, when I really return to the world of this life, I will no longer have the deep regrets that fill my heart like now.
In the end, what kind of power can pull that person to reappear in front of her in this virtual world?Or, there is no such power; then, will her good luck end in this last world by chance?
...Is there still a chance to say Farewell to that person?
Accumulated high points that have surpassed everyone so far, and achieved an unprecedented perfect ending in almost every world... After exchanging many, many skills, I finally brushed all my stats to full...
Isn't all of this enough to exchange for such a second?
...should have figured it out a long time ago.That's the shitty nature of this game.It is the cruelest place in this game world.When it seems peaceful, gentle, and gentle to you, what is often hidden behind it is the cruel law and situation, the decision that can only be made by a strong man.
That is, the reality that can only be accepted even if she shed tears.
That is, even if you work hard tens of thousands of times and accumulate points and skills that you never thought you could get, it is still not enough to make your simplest and only wish come true.
[It's a bad habit to scold the system behind your back——]
After she was thrown into this world, the system bacteria that had been diving without making a sound suddenly said something faintly in her mind.
Liu Quan was startled.
But before she spoke back, the system bacteria had already opened her mouth leisurely, hitting her weak spot.
【Human beings——until the last moment, you won’t know what you’re really thinking. 】
It spoke guessing words with a certain tone like this, and there was an unprecedented joy in the tone.
[No, maybe you know; it's just that you will never face it until the last moment. 】
It asks the most vicious question yet, in a tone of "fish-lipped human" exclamation.
【So now, dear Miss Player, is it your final moment to make a decision?Or are you determined to wait until the last second of the hour the world can stand before making a decision? 】
Liu Quan was slightly startled, but did not answer.
Fortunately, System Bacteria didn't seem to want her to make an immediate decision.It laughed, and finally made a conclusion.
[Then, wait, one, next, we will see you in the Endless Hall. 】
It emphasized the word "wait a minute" inexplicably, sank, and continued diving.
Liu Quan ignored its sudden appearance and disappearance, and ignored the unclear words it said just now, just staring at the noisy playground under the building.
She just looked at the familiar playground in her memory like that, watched the sunset in the sky gradually move behind the distant horizon, and the color of the sunset was getting deeper and deeper; finally, she slowly stretched out her right hand and took it out of the pocket of the coat. He took out something and held it in his hand.
It was a cell phone—the one she had used when she was in this world.At this time, the mobile phone is as if she still existed in this world yesterday. After restarting, the battery is still full, and the signal is still full; looking through the address book, those familiar names are still there, Still lined up in the phone one by one.But looking at the mailbox again, the last email was sent out two years ago.
The small characters at the top of the screen show the time.A simple calculation shows that the time limit for her to stay in this world is only 10 minutes left.
She slowly moved her finger to swipe the screen, and saw the familiar name in the recipient column of the email titled "Goodbye".
Her fingertips hovered over the name for a moment, as if after a moment of hesitation, as if she had made up her mind, she pressed the name resolutely, and wrote "I'm back. Goodbye" on the editing interface of the new mail See you?" and press send.
However, the "ding" she was expecting for a successful delivery did not sound.
A dialog box popped up on the screen, with a big red cross on the left, and the words [send failed] written next to it.
She froze for a moment, and then pressed the send button again unrelentingly.
Still only the big red cross and the dialog box with the words "send failed" popped up.
There's still 15 minutes left.
She tried several times in a row, and finally seemed to understand something. Her fingertips paused for a second, and she didn't press the send button that seemed impossible to succeed.
Her right hand tightly held the mobile phone that stored an email that could not be sent, and slowly lowered it.
Her left hand is still clinging to the wire mesh, and through the gaps between the intersecting wires, she looks at the playground under the setting sun and the boys and girls on the playground who have gradually finished their work and are starting to leave here to go home .
The twilight is still warm and bright. On the horizon dyed red by the sunset, there is a group of birds flying from nowhere. They spread their wings and fly across the sky quickly, flying to the farther sky.
There's still 10 minutes left.
She seemed to think a lot, but she didn't seem to think about anything.For a long time, I just kept that posture, looking at that playground, that place.
Until, there was a "bang" sound behind her, as if someone pushed open the heavy door leading to the rooftop; then, a familiar and beautiful voice suddenly sounded behind her.
"...Liu, Quan—?!"
Her shoulders trembled slightly suddenly, as if she had froze in place unbelievably, for a moment, she didn't even dare to turn her head.
Then, she froze in place for a moment, and after the initial burst of indescribable surprise and shock, she slowly turned around as if in slow motion.
Although this is probably just a virtual world, even if she chooses this world in the future, this moment is probably nothing more than an illusory reward CG that prompts her to make the final choice...
But at this moment, the moment of seeing that person again, the moment of hearing his voice... She suddenly understood one thing.
The person standing behind her at this moment is the person she most wants to see, without a doubt.
She blinked, and a layer of water quietly floated in her eye sockets, but a most genuine smile slowly appeared on her face.
After such a long time, long separation, ups and downs of the plot, different worlds...
Only then can she have the opportunity to realize that the time spent with this person at that time is the most beautiful day she has experienced in her life; Nice watershed.
So...it's great to have the chance to meet this guy again.
She saw that he was holding the mobile phone tightly in his right hand. The mobile phone should not have received any incoming calls, dialed any numbers, nor sent or received any messages, but he suddenly appeared here at this moment— —
She saw him wearing neat and simple clothes, and the glow of the setting sun outlined his slender, tall and straight silhouette, just as she remembered; There was still an aftertaste of surprise, but it had been completely stretched out, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised, showing a smile; she saw the fine strands of hair on his forehead being gently blown by the evening wind, and saw the shadow cast by the setting sun. The warm light illuminated his handsome face; she saw bright spots dancing in his beautiful eyes, staring at her deeply, spoke softly, and called her again:
"...Xinya."
There is still a chance to see all this again, to experience all this again, to stand in front of him again, to stand in front of him forever...
There is still a chance to say "I'm back" to him personally——
that is really good.

～【The end of the common line before the ending／Please continue to watch Atobe Line HE tomorrow】～
The author has something to say:
February 11:
When I was excited, I wrote a lot of words. . .The number of words has exploded for two consecutive days, and the author's hand has already been typed out [No
This chapter should also have a soundtrack [Hey!
Since it is the common line before HE, please allow me to say a few more words.
Speaking of it, I always think that "Passenger" by Milk Coffee is very suitable for such a retrospective scene~~ The lyrics are amazing!
Since JJ doesn't let you post the link now, if you try to listen online, you can only trouble everyone to search by yourself, sorry for the inconvenience~~
【Walking and walking／The sky is slowly getting bright／As if I have been to this place
The old man with his face up / looked at me with a smile / whispered / I remember you
Your / mine / memory is like a piece of luggage / there is laughter and there is crying
I know this life takes me back here/has its true meaning
I looked at me / the me at that time / the moment I said goodbye / started to be a tourist
Your tears / let the smile block the eyes / look at me / see it as a distant place
Walking and walking / Stubbornness becomes soft / We grow up
In front of my eyes/beside my ears/the pigeons are sitting on the eaves/I am restoring that yesterday
The more I want to bear it / But I can't help crying
some people are missing
I look at me / I am calm / I am full of heart / A traveler walking back
My smile/Let tears flow out of my eyes/Thinking of you/I want to be a distant place
I look at me / I used to be small
At this moment let the old time/take me to open a door and window
someone stood / where i left that day
Make memories / stand as a distant place
My Stubbornness / Against the Shoulders of the Crowd
From the glare of the sun/slowly into the sky full of stars
Someone turns around/recognizes my crying face
Smile at me softly/laugh with tears/don't be sentimental
Walking and walking / I don’t know how long I’ve been walking / Brighten up the sky]
