Chapter 267 Welcome Back
The world is falling apart.
Everything was swallowed up by the endless black shadow.
In the boundless darkness, a brilliant light suddenly gushed out from the place where Grandma Lin had disappeared, shaped like a pillar of fire, piercing through the endless black shadows and straight into the sky.
"What is that?" Ren Anzhi asked.
"Granny Lin." Xiao Zhen said.
Sheng Shihua and Wei Hongzhuo looked at Xiaozhen in surprise, their eyes were already red.
"It's Granny Lin," Xiao Zhen said, "They're here to pick her up."
Feifeilu looked up and meowed.
With you around, she will be safe.
"And now, it's time for us to leave," Xiao Zhen announced.
"But Granny Lin..."
"They're protecting her. She'll be fine."
At Xiao Zhen's firm tone, everyone looked confused but still relieved.
"Can my parents, I and everyone else really leave safely?" Wei Jingjing asked. She had not stopped crying since she was rescued.
"Yes."
"Wait a minute!" Cui Mingzhi shouted, "I want to ask, according to the conventional routine, will all the memories here be erased after we leave?"
"Well, maybe." Xiao Zhen said.
Sheng Shihua and Wei Hongzhuo's faces suddenly changed. They finally faced up to their feelings for Jingjing . If they lost their memories, it would mean that everything would go back to the starting point, and they would become the same people who stopped moving forward and closed their eyes to escape. Wei Hongzhuo and Sheng Shihua looked at each other, and they saw the pain of reluctance in each other's eyes. He suddenly felt suffocated and couldn't breathe.
"...Mom, Dad." Wei Jingjing said softly. She held Sheng Shihua's hand and then Wei Hongzhuo's hand.
The daughter's little hands tightly clasped the hands of the two adults.
"I will never forget that my mom and dad came to save me. I will never forget it. Even if this is a dream, I will never forget it." Wei Jingjing said, "I will never forget it!!"
Sheng Shihua nodded, she reached out and stroked Jingjing's delicate face, "Mom will never forget." She repeated in her heart. She must never forget that old man, the little mushroom elf, the experience of this journey, and him - he who faced her daughter with her at the last moment, she would never forget him no matter what.
I will always remember how I feel at this moment.
"Dad won't forget it either!" Wei Hongzhuo said, and he grabbed her other hand, "Shihua, when we get out, I want to tell you something." This was the closest moment he and his wife had been in all these years, and he suddenly felt that they had a mutual understanding. They were about to leave, and perhaps they would become the couple who existed in name only and were strangers to each other, but at this moment, he just wanted to convey his feelings to her.
But when he said it, it just became this sentence.
Sheng Shihua looked at him, then she nodded, "Okay, I have something to tell you too."
"Okay, okay." Wei Hongzhuo said.
This is their promise to each other.
A promise that must never be forgotten.
…
…
The time is almost up.
People who are about to leave this world say goodbye to each other.
Ren Anzhi said: "If everyone can forget me, I don't care."
Cui Mingzhi said softly: "After all, you didn't play any role."
"Uh." Ren Anzhi scratched his head. "After all, for a little girl, a distant idol and real parents are different. I'm still very happy that it was Mr. Wei and his wife who saved their daughter. It's great that the family of three is reunited."
This guy seems to be a really good person. Cui Mingzhi blinked his eyes and suddenly said, "Big star, if you haven't forgotten, can you give me a few autographed photos of my comrades who fought side by side with you after you get out?"
"Ah? Okay." Ren Anzhi agreed.
Liu Xingquan whispered to Cui Mingzhi, "Don't you always not chase after celebrities? Why do you want his autographed photo?"
“I’m not a fan of celebrities, but do you know how popular Ren Anzhi’s autographs are?” Cui Mingzhi said, “Believe it or not, his autographed photos can make most of the girls in the class dance with joy.”
"Uh, yes."
"With his autograph, I'll have bargaining power with some of the girls in my class in the future," Cui Mingzhi said proudly. "In the future, whether I'm organizing an event or doing something else, as long as I have his autograph, why would I be afraid of not being able to deal with Han Youxin and the others?"
Liu Xingquan gave a thumbs up and said, "I'm convinced."
The little octopus crawled over to Gin. Gin had been staring at the towering pillar of light since a while ago. The Siamese cat squatted on the ground, its clear blue eyes reflecting the light, and its chocolate-colored tail quietly wrapped around its paws.
"They are uncivilized species," Gin said. "In this galaxy, almost all intelligent life forms believe that they have created great civilizations. They believe that they are superior to all uncivilized species, and that there is a unique and great ambition ahead of them. But in the end, the end of most civilizations is just the end. In the history of the galaxy, there have been countless planets with brilliant civilizations that have collapsed rapidly. Those proud intelligent life forms fell, but in the end, it was often those uncivilized primitive species that survived."
"Maybe." The little octopus stretched out its tentacles and touched Feifeilu next to it. "In such a vast universe, whether it is intelligent life or ordinary species, life is just a fleeting speck of dust."
He looked up and continued, "But only intelligent life would be moved by the miracle of this moment."
…
…
So, it was finally time to leave .
“Don’t forget your promise!”
"Goodbye everyone!"
“Don’t forget Granny Lin!!”
“Don’t ever forget Granny Lin!!”
"Goodbye everyone! Don't forget Granny Lin!!"
Sheng Shihua, Wei Hongzhuo, Wei Jingjing, Liu Xingquan, Cui Mingzhi, Ren Anzhi, Feifeilu, Gin, Xiaozhen, their bodies began to fade at the same time, and in each other's reluctant eyes, their figures disappeared from this world.
This gaming journey is over.
In the realm of consciousness, Lord Luo Kun appeared again in the desert. He shouted, "My Lord, the time is almost up. The game dimension world is about to collapse!!"
The traveler calmly watched the rumbling machine.
"grown ups!!"
He seemed not to hear Luo Kun's urging. He remained silent, but still had no intention of stopping the machine.
He is waiting.
Lord Luo Kun was a little puzzled. What was his monarch waiting for?
Could it be that among the players who were unfortunately absorbed into the game dimension world, there was someone Lord Mansfield knew? But even so, his monarch had never been swayed by personal emotions. The monarch of the First Court would not hesitate on such a matter. Or did the monarch have other plans?
Dark mist spreads around the machine. This cycle is about to end. The next cycle, the next unpredictable cycle that may bring more victims, is about to begin.
"Sir!!!" Lord Luo Kun shouted.
There was no expression on the monarch's face, and he still did not make a move.
In the next moment.
The machine made a strange sound, as if it was stuck by something out of place. It was still running, but it was obviously interfered with by unknown factors. After a flash of light, the machine was stopped.
Lord Luo Kun saw the corners of the monarch's mouth slightly raised under the hood.
He heard whispers like the breeze.
"Welcome back, Xiao Zhen."
The Third People's Hospital.
The calico cat Huahua jumped lightly onto the wall and walked straight forward along the wall.
There was a platform not far away, which was the best place to bask in the sun. Huahua stared at the platform unhappily. It was late today, and the platform had been occupied by five cats. Huahua came forward and poked with its claws. After a few exchanges, it finally got a small piece of territory.
Huahua curled up and licked her fur slowly. The curtains of the ward opposite the platform were not drawn, but at noon, someone would draw them open. At that time, they would be able to see the old man.
In the corridor outside the ward, two nurses were talking in low voices.
"The family had given up hope and were ready to remove the tube, but unexpectedly a big boss came and said the patient had done him a favor, so he covered all the medical expenses and later transferred the patient directly to the best single room. The most amazing thing is that the patient's condition actually improved and was saved, and he is getting better day by day."
"That old man has a strong desire to survive. Good things happen to good people."
"I think so too." The nurse nodded and turned to walk into the ward.
The old man's family was drawing open the curtains, and the bright sunshine outside was pouring into the room.
…
…
Choi Ming-chi is reviewing his homework at home.
After he came out of the game that day, he thought that sixty-one days had passed and his family would surely be anxious enough to call the police. However, he did not expect that sixty-one days had passed in the game, but only a few hours had passed in reality. In the eyes of his family, he had just taken an excessively long afternoon nap.
Although it was good that everything was peaceful without worrying his family, the past 61 days were very real to him. This meant that he had put his books aside for two whole months. Facing the upcoming exams, Choi Ming-chi, who had always studied easily, couldn't help but feel a little guilty. These days, he put away his playfulness and studied hard at home after school.
The doorbell rang.
Father Cui went over and opened the door. "Xiao Ming, this is your delivery."
Cui Mingzhi walked into the living room and asked, "What is that?"
The courier put a large box at the door and asked him to sign for it.
"What is this?" asked Cui's father.
"Cui Mingzhi won a lucky draw at a Weicheng event. This is the prize," the courier replied.
"Weicheng? Is this the company of Mr. Wei?" Father Cui was stunned.
Cui Mingzhi used a knife to cut open the box. After seeing what was inside, he immediately ran around the room happily: "It's a PS5!!! It's actually a PS5!!! Uncle Wei is the coolest!!"
Father Cui looked over in confusion and saw a piece of cardboard outside the new PS5 box. He picked it up and saw the following words written on it:
[To my most reliable teammate]
【——Wei Hongzhuo】
…
…
Wei Jingjing is waiting for her piano teacher to come.
After having an incredibly long dream, she returned to her peaceful life.
It was strange that she felt both strange and familiar with the last semester that had ended and this semester that had already begun.
Her notebooks were divided into categories to record notes on various subjects, and her diary recorded in detail the little things that happened every day. She seemed not to have experienced all of this, but she was not afraid at all. Because those things had also appeared in her dreams.
In her past dreams, there was a vague girl who looked similar to her , and she gently told her about everything she had experienced in those days.
So Wei Jingjing felt that he had never left.
The piano teacher should be here soon.
She stood up, and the music sheet slid down her legs. She bent down subconsciously to pick it up, and then she saw something.
"Mom!! Dad!! Look!!"
After running out of the room and calling her parents, Wei Jingjing brought them over.
“Look!”
Sheng Shihua bent down and saw it - in the corner under the piano, there was a small cluster of mycelium. This cluster of mycelium had not taken shape, only a shallow layer, white and crystal clear, very cute.
"Look, I don't know when this grew!" Wei Jingjing said.
Aunt Tan said, "Oh no! Didn't the cleaning lady notice it? This must be caused by the humidity. I'll shovel it out now."
"No!" Sheng Shihua blurted out.
"ah?"
"I want to raise it." said Sheng Shihua.
"Great!" Wei Jingjing clapped his hands.
"But this..." Aunt Tan looked as if she couldn't raise such a thing and was hesitant to speak.
Wei Hongzhuo said, "Put it in a cardboard box." After a long talk with Sheng Shihua, he moved back a week ago. The male owner smiled and said, "If Yan An's family can raise chickens, we can certainly raise this too."
