Chapter 183, Lying on the Sofa III (Two in One)

Screen transition.

Thick black clouds pressed overhead as if they could be touched with one's hand. There was no lightning or thunder, no birds or animals, and it was so quiet that not a single sound could be heard.

The air was filled with choking dust, and every breath you took felt like your teeth were coated with rock particles.

There was knee-deep water under my feet, and broken rubble and broken bricks and stones were deposited under the water, in a mess, scattered everywhere.

The familiar streets turned into ruins, the tall buildings were dark, and there were no lights in any direction.

beep - beep -

Utsunomiya was walking in the water, holding his cell phone with both hands and talking on the phone.

I don't know how many times I've called, but no one has answered.

A fishy sea breeze blew by, the knee-wetting sea water rolled up ripples, the stones at the corner rolled, and the strange yet familiar neighbors floated past.

Zhuo couldn't imagine what he saw before him.

At this moment, five crow-like fighter jets flew across the sky in a V-formation formation, and their white exhausts were particularly conspicuous in the dark sky.

Zhuo raised his head, turned his head, and turned around - his eyes were always following the fighter jets.

Then, in a flash, the five fighter planes exploded from left to right like fireworks ignited by the god of death... The burning wreckage of the aircraft rotated and fell, crashing into the water not far away, causing waves again.

Gollum-

Zhuo was caught off guard by the oncoming tide and fell into the water.

With his arms behind his back, he looked up at the sky at the two black and white lights that kept intersecting, separating, intersecting again, and separating again.

He couldn't see clearly what it was. It was like the complex and gorgeous lines in a kaleidoscope, dragging its afterimages and drawing all kinds of incomprehensible lines in the sky.

The Japanese Self-Defense Force fighter jets had just approached them when they were bombed. They didn't even have time to jump out of the cabin.

Zhuo was stunned for a moment, then suddenly woke up, stumbled to his feet, and rushed towards his home.

The air was fishy and humid, and one could smell a strong stench and blood.

It was very difficult to walk in the knee-deep water. After walking only two steps, something got entangled on his leg. Zhuo didn't dare to look at what it was. He raised his head and pulled it off a few times, then continued walking.

Twenty minutes later.

When he was out of breath, his ears were ringing and his heart was beating, he finally saw the courtyard of his home.

A broken and decayed courtyard.

The door was closed, but there was a hole in the middle, a hole that was super big, big enough for two people to squeeze through side by side.

He held on to his last fantasy and hesitated for a long time in front of the door. When he finally made up his mind to go in, he was suddenly attracted by the balcony of the study on the fourth floor.

At that moment, he seemed to have seen the most severe torture in hell and the ugliest devil. His pupils instantly shrank to a point and trembled slightly, like sharp needles.

They were the two most familiar figures in the world, huddled together in the corner of the balcony. The man held the railing with both hands to protect the woman underneath, but his lower body was gone, and the woman was holding the remaining body of the man, hanging outside the railing.

Zhuo tilted his head in a daze.

His eyes were out of focus, yet trembling. In his eyes, the whole world was trembling and blurry.

My hands and feet lost strength and I didn’t know what to say.

sad?

sad?

anger?
None of these.

My mind was empty, neither sad nor angry, like a puppet that had lost its spring, standing there motionless.

Under the overcast sky with dark clouds covering the city, the lines in the sky were still moving madly. Those guys who didn't know what they were couldn't see, nor did they care about the deep malice that a twenty-year-old young man felt at this moment, which was like the severe winter in September.

Not many people care about him.

It's all gone now.

Loneliness is when no one cares about you.

Zhuo's blood turned cold, and his heart turned cold too.

At this moment, two black and white lines flew across the street at a low altitude several times faster than the speed of sound. No sound could be heard on the ground. All the glass along the way shattered, and a clear dividing line was drawn in the middle of the flooded street, and the sea water rushed to both sides.

It hit Zhuo on the back of the head and behind... He was carried by the waves into the wall in a terrible posture like a dog chewing mud, and his forehead bone hit the wall. A faint sound of bone cracking could be heard.

My eyes went white, and then my vision was filled with red.

"It doesn't seem to hurt as much as I thought."

Zhuo did not resist, floating on the water, his eyes following the two lines that flashed by and were high above.

on the sky.

The dense black clouds were like toys being kneaded at will, suddenly shattered, then had to gather together, and then shattered again. The two lines collided like meteors, then bounced apart, and then collided again.

Just by watching from afar, one can imagine how exciting this battle, unprecedented in history, is.

Hearty.

Zhuo's eyeballs were constantly moving, and even if one looked from a distance, it was difficult for human eyes to capture their figures.

too fast.

The latest fighter jets were like toys in the hands of a boy in front of them, and they dared not approach the area at all.

Is this God?

In Zhuo's sight, the originally balanced and stable scale was shaking wildly. [Both parents alive] [Harmonious family] [Good health] [Several close friends]... disappeared quickly, and correspondingly: [Supporting parents] [Managing friendships] [Conflicts in life] [Managing one's own future]... these weights on the right were also fading.

The weight on both sides was rapidly decreasing, and the balance was swaying left to right, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right, as if a naughty child was making trouble.

Zhuo floated on the water with an expressionless face, without any emotion.

Unprecedented peace.

He was so calm that he even felt like a cold-blooded person who didn't care about anyone.

So after witnessing all this, he remained so calm.

They watched the lines in the sky for a long time, until they collided again, then each retreated and fell toward the seaside.

It's really boring.

Life, life, fighting... and God.

It's all so boring.

Zhuo sighed in his heart and looked at his own scale.

"I need a way to kill them."

As the thought came to his mind, the black weight with the word "Nothing" written on it suddenly fell from the sky. It was originally as floating as a cloud, but when it fell, it was like a mountain.

[None] hit the right side of the weight, and the whole balance shook as if it was about to fall apart.

At the same time, a blurry [@￥@! ] appeared on the left side of the scale, and the handwriting was unclear... Then, the second [Nothing] fell, and the scale trembled again.

[External wisdom is activated. Starting...Starting completed.]

【Answer: Start summarizing. 】

[Report: Based on the known situation and the comparison with memory, there is an 89% chance that the enemy is the new White King Herzog and Lu Mingze (Lu Mingfei), who possess the ability of unknown power 'element', amazing recovery ability, wind ability, wisdom beyond human, weapons that cannot be understood, and the ability to predict the future... Start summarizing.]

[Answer: The only way to kill the opponent is kinetic energy. Do you want to start exchanging abilities? ]

"Hmm" [Answer: Received the instruction.]

Boom—the third weight fell.

A new weight appeared again on the left side of the scale: [(Alas, I won’t tell you for now)].

[Report: The balance is insufficient and cannot be exchanged for protective measures. Do you want to continue exchanging? ]

"Um"

[Answer: Received the order. [Arrogance][Jealousy][Rage][Laziness][Greed][Gluttony][Lust][Chastity?][Diligence?][Generosity?][Humility?][Gentleness][Temperance][Tolerance]...]

As the voice in my head chanted out one by one, the weights on the left side of the scale disappeared one by one and piled up into something new.

[Report: Cell structure is being reorganized... Abandoning the carbon-based structure... Abandoning the oxidation reaction function, changing to a core transformation method... Modifying the matrix outline... Modifying the host's life definition... Modifying the host's death definition...]

[Report: All your emotions are about to disappear, do you want to set up a backup plan? ]

"Not interested in"

[Report: According to your memory, this world is the world of Dragon Clan, so even if you have the power to kill them, you may not be able to really kill them.]

"Oh, then kill them."

[Report: There is no way to fix the timeline, so it cannot be done. Suggested plan: disrupt their plan in a balanced way, let Herzog go, and lure out Nidhogg. Only Nidhogg has the ability to converge the timeline.]

"My advice is: fuck the equilibrium, kill them all!"

[Report: Received the order, fuck the balance. ]

[Report: In thirty seconds you will completely lose your ability to think. I will temporarily take over your body and kill the life in their world. Do you have any other instructions? ]

"Oh, then kill them... By the way, what did you say just now? You can't kill them completely?"

【Report: Yes.】

"…Then what use do I have for you?"

[Report: My birth was based on this situation. The timeline will be reset and everything will start over again, but they will still remember you, so when loading me, they chose the parallel time and space method at the cost of half a weight, so that I will remain in the next timeline.]

"...Then I'll have three extra weights?"

[Report: No, you also need to pay a price. Your balance is based on the principle of fairness. No matter how you get something, you will pay a corresponding price. Similarly, no matter what misfortune you encounter, you will receive corresponding compensation.]

"...Ah, I know that. Getting into Tokyo University with hard work also comes at a price."

【Report: That’s right.】

[Report: Do you want to set up a backup plan? In the backup plan, I will take your memory of this time to the next world, and you can try to kill them before anything happens... If you fail, you will have another chance, and the timeline reset will take you back... Once, twice, three times, you will eventually find a way to completely kill them.]

"..."

Zhuo was silent.

Killing these high and mighty gods is the only obsession in his heart now.

But when I heard the words "before anything happened", the string in my heart twitched violently, and then became weaker and weaker, as if it was pulled away by something.

It can be seen from this exchange that if you want to gain the ability to defeat these "gods", you must give your all to do it.

And after giving everything he had, he killed them before anything happened - in a way that both of them would perish together.

Is it worth it?

If I don't kill them, everything could happen again; if I kill them, I'll have to give up everything... It's a dead end.

Zhuo is actually not afraid of death.

In fact, humans have an urge to die deep in their hearts... Standing on a building hundreds of meters high, you look down at the ant-like crowd below, why wouldn't you follow the urge in your heart and jump down?

Because we have parents, friends, relatives, and lovers.

It's very simple.

Those who survive often suffer more than those who die.

"Set it up... Activation condition 1: Being attacked by a word spirit. Activation condition 2: When I feel lonely. Activation condition 3: #￥...@&...@"

[Answer: After receiving the instruction, start the pre-selection plan.]

[Answer: The body has been reconstructed. See you in the next world. Goodbye.]

"...Oh, what an awkward farewell. But..."

——Boundary line——

Zhuo jumped up.

The last few words of the final farewell did not register in his mind.

In the slightly moist vision, the room is reflected as usual. The summer sun shines in from the window, illuminating the unlit room with warmth.

Utsunomiya Shuo was the only one in the room, and except for his breathing which was more rapid than usual, everything was quiet.

He took a deep breath and adjusted his breathing. He looked at the time and realized that it had been about an hour since he dozed off. He had dozed off for an indeterminate amount of time, but his fatigue had not eased at all.

...Maybe it was because of the nightmare.

[Report: Memory encoding completed, information transmission in progress...]

"..."

Zhuo, exhausted both physically and mentally, should have continued to sleep, but his sleepiness was swept away.

"Great Sage"

【Report: Please speak. 】

"What was that just now?"

[Answer: I will use the memories you have stored in me to create images in your brain through bioelectric currents, in the form of dreams...]

"Stop, just tell me if it's true or not?"

In fact, when asking this question, Zhuo already had the answer in his heart.

【Answer: True.】

"..." Zhuo wanted to say something when he suddenly received an [Exchange Application] from the great sage. The price was two weights [None].

"Stop, stop, stop right now! Let me think about it, let me think about it..."

I recalled the content of the dream again, about that [preset plan].

He suddenly realized and asked in confusion.

"Am I lonely?"

【Answer: Yes.】

"You must be kidding. This is totally different from the dream. My family is fine. How can I be lonely?"

Didn't get a reply.

Maybe he was too disdainful to argue with him.

Zhuo was also stunned for a while and sat on the sofa for a long time.

“Wait a minute… wait a minute…”
