Chapter 155 Chapter 150 [-]·HE·The Silent Future
The neatly dressed little loli sat in her own room, beside her, a bird like a nightingale was singing.

It conveys the meaning of His Majesty.

She opened the drawer, and inside lay a dagger embellished with vermilion gemstones. When she pulled it out, she saw her immature face reflected on the dagger.

Holding the dagger, she walked out of the door slowly, walked through the silent corridor, stepped on the scarlet carpet, and when she slowly went up the stairs, she heard the sound of something dragging the ground.

She walked up the stairs, and saw the door of the innermost room opened wide, and a person fell there. Even in the extreme night, she could still see the blood spots on the ground through the dim light.

She approached slowly, the ruby ​​on the dagger was shining brightly, as she walked through this corridor, the long dress in palace dress scraped the floor, making a slight rubbing sound against the carpet, which was very obvious in the quiet night.

The person who fell on the ground raised his head slightly, revealing a bloody face, and a blood-red tattoo was shining on his shoulder.

"Are you here...to kill me?"

Even though his face was covered with blood, he was still smiling, and the tone of his question was homely.

Hui Shuhang slowly squatted down and approached him.

"Yes."

"I thought you could take me away." He said, "After all, when I opened my eyes, it was you."

"I have been by your side for ten years."

"Really?" He said, with blood streaming down the corner of his mouth, his appearance looked rather weak: "...Can you talk to me, before I die."

Hui Shuhang clenched the dagger tightly, and then, she approached him again, sat beside him, and dropped the dagger in her hand.

The dagger fell on the carpet, and the jewel gleamed coldly.

She silently stared at the empty corridor, and then she set her eyes on his shoulder.

There was a blood-red mark there, she recognized it, it was a curse mark branded by His Majesty, as long as the person branded, within two hours, he would die.

...and she didn't even need to do it.

"How long have I been here?"

She suddenly heard his question.

"Have you forgotten?" Hui Shuhang said slowly, "You have been here since you were a child."

"Never go out?"

"Accompanied by me, yes, have you forgotten?" She said: "I have been taking care of you, and I know everything about you."

"I really didn't expect..." He sighed slightly: "I have done so much for the army, and in the end, when the experiment was about to be completed, I would be the first person His Majesty wanted to kill. I thought that he would at least Will keep me until the coming-of-age ceremony."

"...Maybe it's because you went to see him today."

"What's wrong?" He asked immediately.

"Your Majesty, he is also hesitating. It may be something you said that made him make up his mind in advance."

"That's right." He nodded, looking a little regretful: "...What should I say?"

Hui Shuhang didn't answer.

Perhaps she was restless herself.

"Tell me." She heard his voice: "Your Majesty, why did you send me to the altar?"

"—Because of the future." She also heard her own voice, like a puppet who can only answer, perhaps because she was too sad, she couldn't feel what she was answering: "Your existence will change the world , your bloodline...is itself the source of the world's catastrophe. You may not be reconciled, and want to change something through your experiment...but His Majesty can't wait for the day when the experiment is successful. It is necessary to wipe out the disaster in advance. Your Majesty's choice."

"What am I?"

"You are an evil dragon, you are a child with the blood of an evil dragon." Hui Shuhang said, "It is a disaster, a demon, a variable that should not exist, and a curse that presses on the heads of living things. You are still dead, the moment you are sent to the altar, the world will be at peace."

"……I understand."

Su Mingan completely understood.

Your Majesty's 95 favorability points are true.

His Majesty may really have feelings for him, so that he can live until he is sacrificed on the altar, but in the eyes of that ruler, maintaining the stability of the world is far more important than a single person.

Knowing that he might have the intention of getting out of control, His Majesty didn't give him another chance to survive the remaining nine days, but killed him directly.

"It turns out that I am not the future." Su Mingan said, "Killing me is the future."

"That's it."

She heard him coughing up blood, the person in front of her was getting weaker and weaker, and his life was only a few minutes away.

"……how about you?"

She heard his voice.

"... If one day, you suddenly don't want to send me to the altar, and you want to take me away, what kind of situation will it be?" He asked.

Hui Shuhang thought carefully for a while.

"That won't happen."

Even in this situation, little Lolita still had an elegant posture. She sat beside him, her skirt was not stained with blood, and under the faint light, her wine-red eyes were full of determination:

"Although I watched you grow up and respect you very much, I have already made up my mind that everyone has their own final destiny, so accept it calmly... this is what we can do in this world The only thing."

"I mean, what if?" Su Mingan asked.

"..."

Hui Shuhang was silent for a while.

She lowered her head, as if she had fallen into deep thought, and then, when she raised her head again, there was a little confusion in her eyes:

"...That's possible." She said, slowly picking up the dagger that fell from the ground.

The gems shone beautifully.

"...Maybe I fell in love with you."

She approached him and whispered in his ear:

"Listen well—love is a very complicated thing. It's crazy and incredible. If I could love you enough to give up all my beliefs and responsibilities for you, then I would take you away, no matter what the cost. , do everything possible - I will want you to live, even if I will die."

Su Mingan carefully recalled Hui Shuhang last week, when she wanted to take him away with all her heart, her eyes were so hot and crazy, when she looked over, she had an unprecedented longing, like a fire bursting out suddenly , to burn up her own past.

——It turned out that at that time, her full-value friendship became the so-called love.

"I understand." Su Mingan said.

The nightingale bird on the shoulder started to cry again, Hui Shuhang held the dagger, his tone was extremely gentle:
"Is there anything else you want to say?"

"I thought." Su Ming'an looked at her: "You would say - [No one is born a victim, but you are the future], something like this."

"If I say, I believe that your life is more useful than your being sent to the altar, I will say so." Hui Shuhang's tone was very light, as if he was telling a bedtime story: "The premise is that we all need Believe in you—you can develop a way to change the natural blood of the dragon."

"But it's too late now."

"Yes." Hui Shuhang said: "Your Majesty, he made up his mind in advance. We will send your body to the altar, and the experiment will continue, even if it will slow down the process, but you have gained a temporary An Ding, you are our [future]."

"...Then I know what to do."

Hui Shuhang listened to his words and looked into his eyes.

His eyes were too bright and dazzling, and it was easy for people to ignore the pain in his eyes.

...as if he didn't think his journey would end there.

"That." She stretched out her hand and covered his eyes: "Good night?"

"Is there still a chance to repent? For example, now you save me and let me go?"

She laughed: "I haven't fallen in love with you yet."

She smiled, but burst into tears.

When she retracted her hand, she saw that his eyes were completely closed.

She looked at the bloodstains on her palm, the blood was still warm, and when she looked at the blood in her hand, her heart, which was always as stable as Pinghu, suddenly felt strange emotions.

"—Death is not the loss of life, but eternity in time." She said, "Congratulations, you have become the [future] you want to be."

She lowered her head slightly and kissed the forehead of the person on the ground. The kiss was extremely light, like a saint kissing a token, like water disappearing into the water.

Then, she used the dagger to cut through her own wrist.

The blood dripping on the ground gradually mixed together and condensed into a strange pattern.

She closed her eyes and leaned against him, her breath dissipating bit by bit.

……

Su Mingan's consciousness slowly returned.

Through this temptation of death, he understood that his identity may be the source of some kind of disaster, and only by letting himself die can the world gain temporary stability.

Qinwang seems to be conducting a research on the method of changing the bloodline of talent. If he can't achieve results before being pushed to the altar, he will die.

When I had a conversation with His Majesty during the day, I might have touched some kind of thunder point, which made His Majesty attack me in advance.

Su Mingan originally thought that when he opened his eyes again, what he would be greeted would be a retracement of a certain period of time—still in that golden-white square.

But when he regained consciousness, what he saw was a barren land.

... There are no squares, no servants carrying things, no guards, not even buildings.

Looking around, the world is dead and silent, like being in a wasteland, with no living beings around.

He stood in the middle of a pool of blood-red liquid, with blood all over his feet.

"……what's the situation."

He hasn't had time to look at the live broadcast room - the live broadcast room is the best way to locate the time.

He heard the system prompt:
【Congratulations! You have successfully lived to No.15 days!】

[Perfect customs clearance progress 50%]

[Complete the normal customs clearance route, the main army line, (HE) silent future]

[Line evaluation: A (excellent)! 】

[(HE·Silent Future): "What I am facing is a silent future.

I just woke up and didn't know anything yet.

I will wait here until I am praised by all. "]

……

[The ending has been recorded and will be included in the final evaluation]

……

Su Mingan stared at the system interface, feeling out of breath.

A sense of suffocation surged instantly, as if a big hand pinched his heart.My whole body was numb as if electrified, and my eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of cloth, making everything blurry.

A death rollback does not roll back to a point in time he never experienced.

——And the strange scene in front of him was telling him that he did not die that night just now.

Instead, time continued to pass, and on a certain day, he who was not completely dead was suddenly awakened and accepted this inexplicable ordinary HE.

……how so.

He felt that he was getting more and more out of breath—it turned out that he didn't really die that night, but fell into a suspended animation.

It caused him to wake up suddenly at some point in the future now, and the retracement point may have been buried in a deep sleep.

【He may be in a stuck situation】.

Before, he had the idea of ​​"what if you get stuck and can't pass the level perfectly", but he didn't expect that he actually met it.

...He doesn't know if he can go back to the original point in time when he files back now, but he has no time to think about it.

...In case, in case he reverts this time, he does not return to the critical time point...

He felt that the whole world in front of him was turned upside down, and he immediately put his fingers on his temples, and instantly shifted back.

……

He opened his eyes.

He looked at the bright scene in front of him, still feeling suffocated.

The girl biting a chocolate bar was pushing the door, about to lead him out.

"Fia."

He breathed slowly.

……came back.

He didn't know where [Death Reversal] came from, but now it seemed that it could bring him back from the brink of collapse every time.

[Key time point], it may not change because of time, but depends on his experience.

He has always been extremely confident in this skill... as if he is confident that he will always pass the level perfectly.If even this only reliance could not pull him back, he really didn't know how he should go on.

Unlimited backtracking, backtracking until it crashes?

He looked at the familiar scene in front of him.

When he knew that everything could be restarted, the heavy sinking feeling in his heart disappeared little by little.

"……What's wrong?"

When he survived the catastrophe, Fia's hand came over.

She touched his forehead, then looked into his eyes:

"You suddenly look tired... Did you not sleep well? There are bloodshot eyes."

"It's okay." Su Mingan moved her hand away: "Take me to see His Majesty."

He needed to repeat the process from before that night.

"..." Fia looked at him, and suddenly bit the chocolate bar with a "click".

"I remember that you often stay up late before the game starts." She said: "If you want to play the game well, you must cultivate your spirit."

"You're right." Su Mingan said, "This is also a game, but it's hardcore."

"...So you mean to play so tiredly?"

"I will rest, but not now."

Fia sighed: "I have never been able to persuade you."

She said, leading him out.

On the way, Su Mingan recalled the progress of the previous week's goal, and had some guesses in his heart.

After that, he still went to see His Majesty as before, and the conversation remained unchanged.

The only difference from the previous episode is that he didn't use the power holder skill to raise the opponent's favorability from 95 to 100.

He felt that the problem might not lie in the content of the conversation.

At night, he retired to his room, sat at the table, and waited for the curse to strike.

He sat all night.

It wasn't until the extreme night period gradually passed and the dim light of the square came on that his hazy thoughts suddenly became clearer.

—he survived.

This time, he was not cursed with instant death.

In other words, the reason why he almost failed to pass the level perfectly was precisely because of the Power Holder skill he used.

...The previous time, it was also because he used the Power Holder skill on Shuhang that he died.

But this time, it was precisely because he used the power-holder skill on His Majesty that he suddenly got a normal ending.

... This is a pit.

If he didn't have a death rollback, he might already be forced to accept the status quo of failing to pass the level perfectly.

Su Mingan looked at the three words "power holder" on his taskbar, and suddenly laughed.

"It's funny."

He laughed, feeling only a burst of irony and absurdity.

"It's really... quite funny."

A surge of fatigue swept over him.

He looked at the sky outside the window and at the never-ending barrage in the upper right corner of his vision.

He closed his eyes and fell asleep in the dim light of day.

……

[Main Army Line·Future Line·Perfect clearance progress: 20%]
