Fatal Game Syndrome

After jumping into the coffin, the long passage was exactly the same as when they first entered the underground palace, but this time everyone was mentally prepared. After escaping from the darkness, everyone found that the place they landed was actually the corridor where they entered the door.

“It actually came out!!!”

Xiong Qi and the others were extremely shocked. They were the ones who had died inside the door and had never dared to think that they would be able to go out again!

Li Dongyuan put his hand on Xiong Qi's shoulder and said, "Don't have too high expectations. Even though you followed us out, you can't stay away from the door for too long, otherwise you will completely disappear from this world!"

Can't stay away from the door for too long?

Xiong Qi glanced at him. If a dead person wants to leave the door, there must be a price to pay. Is it just that he can't leave for too long? This is not an outrageous restriction, right?

Xiao Ke looked around. In addition to the circle of doors, there were several small compartments separated by screens. Except for the beds, all other utensils were available in the compartments.

"Don't you have anybody living here?"

Xiao Ke's mind was working quickly. Combining what Li Dongyuan had just said, it seemed that someone who died inside the gate had come out of Obsidian before, and had been living here because of the restrictions of the gate.

Ignoring Xiao Ke, Ling Jiushi and Ruan Lanzhu walked to the door that was closed by a layer of transparent light cover. This was the last door and also Ruan Lanzhu's door.

"Actually, I don't quite understand. There are many small worlds behind each door. Why do all the worlds behind this door disappear as soon as we clear a level?"

"It's actually very simple!" Ruan Lanzhu pinched Ling Jiushi's fingers and explained to him, "Behind each door is actually a whole, but this whole is made up of small worlds of different sizes, like building blocks. If we kill a door god or take a door god away, then this small world will disappear."

"So if one small part of the world disappears, the whole thing will become unstable and collapse."

Ling Jiushi understood. Looking at the closed door in front of him, he couldn't help but recall what happened last time he came out of the eleventh door.

"The twelfth door last time was considered a parallel world outside the door, so will we encounter that kind of situation again this time?"

It's really uncomfortable to miss someone alone for fifty years, and he doesn't want to experience it again.

Ruan Lanzhu turned around and touched his head with a smile. He certainly didn't want to experience that kind of world again, but he didn't know what the situation was like inside.

"Although this is the twelfth door, I have been outside it since I became conscious, or I have been traveling through the worlds behind other doors. I will not know what is going on inside until I open it."

Having said that, Ruan Lanzhu turned around and looked at his companions behind him, "Everyone, the next step is my mission. You can go to other worlds to have a look, or you can choose to go out."

Everyone stopped their actions quietly and looked at the man opposite them, with a smile in the corner of his eyes and a determined expression. This was the legend of the gate world, the highest gate god in the spiritual realm, and the one who saved them from the gate.

"I'm with you!"

Ling Jiushi's tone did not allow for rejection. Ruan Lanzhu held his hand and held it back, "We agreed to go through every door together!"

Ruan Lanzhu stared into his eyes for a long while before nodding and agreeing, "Okay!"

Ruan Lanzhu placed his hands on the light shield outside the twelve doors. A layer of water ripples spread out from around his palms. In an instant, the entire light shield spread out layers of waves. Then the light shield seemed to be melted by his palms, and gradually dissolved with his palms as the center.

"Let's go!"

Ruan Lanzhu went up and pushed open the last iron gate. As everyone watched, she and Ling Jiushi disappeared hand in hand in the strong light behind the door.

After the strong light, the two could see clearly where they were. The place they stepped into seemed to have traveled through the interstellar space. Above their heads was an empty starry sky, and the stars of all sizes made the sky above their heads bottomless.

The two of them took two tentative steps forward. They didn't know what the ground was made of. It seemed like transparent ice, and the color under the ice was blue to black. They didn't know if it was the color under their feet or if it was reflected from above their heads.

Not far away there was a nebula moving in a very regular pattern, like a miniature version of the Milky Way standing upright, and it seemed to be an entrance. The two held hands and continued to walk forward, and every step they took saw a ripple, as if they had accidentally entered a fairy tale, which was very magical.

"You said before that the world behind the door has a past, a present, and a future, so, have we arrived in the future?"

Ling Jiushi observed his surroundings curiously. Although Ruan Lanzhu had told him before that there was a future world behind the door, no one around him had ever entered the future world, and no one on the forum had ever shared it.

Ruan Lanzhu shook his head and said, "Let's go in and take a look!"

The two men stepped into the rotating nebula, thinking they would land on another planet, but unexpectedly they passed through the nebula directly into a magnificent palace.

Ling Jiushi looked around in amazement. The palace was very large, but it had nothing that a palace should have. There were only walls full of sophisticated instruments in operation, one connected to another to form a complete system, covering the entire palace wall tightly, without even a door.

"This is......"

There was a buzzing sound from the instruments operating, and above his head there was a light screen with codes constantly jumping on it. Ling Jiushi looked at these things and felt like he was watching a science fiction movie, full of a futuristic sense of technology.

Ruan Lanzhu had a headache, so what on earth was this door for? As the owner of the door, he couldn't see through it!

"Do you think these things are the backstage of all the worlds?"

Ling Jiushi was thinking wildly. The purpose of their entering the twelfth door was to purify the spiritual realm. Now they were teleported to this place full of instruments. Could this be the backstage for controlling other worlds?

Without waiting for Ruan Lanzhu to answer, Ling Jiushi was attracted by the code on the light curtain. The code was not running very fast, but Ling Jiushi compiled and understood it quickly in his mind and gradually immersed himself in it.

Ruan Lanzhu did not disturb him when he saw this. Instead, he started to walk around the palace, trying to see if he could find any clues or hints.

However, after searching for a long time, Ruan Lanzhu found that except for the light curtain, there was nothing else with letters on it, and these instruments were connected in a perfect closed loop, and he couldn't find where the starting point was.

"how?"

Ruan Lanzhu asked softly when he returned to Ling Jiushi's side.

"I found a clue!" Ling Jiushi stared at the light screen above his head motionlessly, "This is indeed the backend data center of all worlds, but the data of the world we destroyed before has collapsed."

"These programs control the instruments on the wall. We must restore the data!"

“Does it have to be restored?”

Ruan Lanzhu frowned. It was so hard to erase those worlds, but now they have to be restored? This is really annoying!

“Must recover!”

Ling Jiushi said firmly, "To purify the spiritual realm, all these operating instruments must be stopped. Now the data is missing and the program cannot be operated, so there is no way to stop the instruments on the wall."

Ruan Lanzhu didn't believe it, so he drew out his long sword and walked to the side. He grasped the hilt with both hands, poured all his strength into the blade, jumped up and chopped at the instrument on the wall.

The hurricane created by Ruan Lanzhu's knife made Ling Jiushi involuntarily take two steps back. However, the blade cut a streak of sparks on the instrument, but did not leave even a white mark, and the instrument did not stop operating.

"It's definitely not possible!"

It was so solid that Ruan Lanzhu had no choice but to wait for Ling Jiushi to continue his research and prepare to fill in the missing recorded data.

Time passed little by little, and I don’t know whether it was one or two days, or one or two years, Ling Jiushi finally finished reading all the programs on the light screen, and had a rough idea in his mind.

After the code finished jumping, a light touch keyboard slowly appeared in front of him. It was a very novel thing and it was the first time for Ling Jiushi to operate it. However, this thing was indeed much more convenient to use than things in the real world. It was indeed worthy of being the technology of the future.

As the collapsed data holes were filled one by one, the mechanical instruments on the wall actually lit up one after another. However, there was no pattern to the instruments that lit up until Ling Jiushi had fixed all the holes.

As all the instruments lit up, the entire palace seemed to come alive, with countless small light screens projected in the air.

"One world, one light curtain!"

Ling Jiushi tapped the light curtain closest to him. After being tapped, the light curtain suddenly enlarged, and the two could clearly see what was happening in the world behind the light curtain.

Ruan Lanzhu randomly opened a few small worlds and took a look. "So this is the complete spiritual realm. What we saw when we came in just now was a half-purified and incomplete one."

"Yes!"

Ling Jiushi rubbed his stomach. He didn't know how long he had been here. His stomach had already started to protest. "How long have we been here?"

Ruan Lanzhu looked at his watch. "It's two o'clock in the afternoon of the fourth day."

Ling Jiushi widened his eyes. No wonder he was so hungry. Had he not eaten for four days?

"How long will the purification take? How about eating something first?"

Ruan Lanzhu also touched Ling Jiushi's belly, which was flat.

"Let's go out and eat. The purification won't take long. I can't just give my stomach a half-hearted pampering after being hungry for so long!"

Ruan Lanzhu laughed and put the chocolate back into his pocket, thinking about going out and asking Lu Yanxue to make all her specialties again.

Ling Jiushi found the program running center on the large light curtain and clicked Delete with the cursor. All of a sudden, all the mechanical instruments on the four walls began to run in reverse. The sound of Carrara's machinery was endless, and the instruments that had just been lit began to go out one by one.

When all the light disappeared and everything returned to the way it was when they came in, the mechanical instruments on the wall began to fall down, and one piece of machinery after another hit the ground, causing the entire palace to shake.

Until there was nothing left on the wall, a black iron door slowly rose up on the white wall.

"finished!"

Ling Jiushi turned his head and stared at Ruan Lanzhu with his dog eyes, smiling. The happiness in his eyes could not be hidden. He finally helped Ruan Lanzhu complete the mission. There were no casualties and no separation. It was exactly the result he wanted.

“Awesome!”

Ruan Lanzhu hugged Ling Jiushi's shoulders and kissed him hard. His wife was not only beautiful but also extremely smart. If she hadn't come in with him, it might take him a long time to learn what was in the light curtain, and it would have taken him a long time to get out.

"I am a little grateful to Gao Dawei now!"

Ruan Lanzhu felt extremely fortunate when she hugged Ling Jiu. Although Gao Dawei was a little annoying, he gave her the opportunity to appear in this world, gave her a lover, and also gave her a perfect ending.

"Why thank him? Thank me!"

Ling Jiushi raised his head from his neck and felt more relaxed than ever before. Finally!

"Get out!"

Ling Jiushi smiled and took Ruan Lanzhu's hand and pushed open the door. This time when they went out, they would say goodbye to the spiritual realm completely!

The two of them looked back at the dim backstage of the spiritual realm, smiled at each other, and stepped out of the iron gate.

Thank you Haiyan my favorite, Xiyueying, and Yaofeng the little cutie for powering with love, muah~
