My World: From Zombies to Demon King HIM

Seeing Notch's condition, Stephen's whole camel was panicked, and his heart was full of panic and anxiety. He had walked such a long way with Notch, but he had never seen Notch so fragile and on the verge of collapse.

In Stephen's eyes, Notch has always been knowledgeable and calm, and he can always remain calm no matter what kind of difficulties he faces.

Moreover, Notch's mentality has always been very good, and even if he encounters setbacks or difficulties, he rarely has big emotional fluctuations.

He always gives people a feeling of being confident and in control of the overall situation, as if everything is under control. Because of this, Stephen always feels extremely safe and secure during this journey.

If it weren't for Notch by his side, Stephen would probably find it difficult to enjoy the beautiful scenery around him so easily in this trial land full of dangers and challenges.

However, at this moment, Notch's changes made Stephen feel unprecedented worry and confusion.

"What did I say wrong..."

Stephen tried hard to recall what he had just said to Notch.

He tried to think of the words he had said that might affect Notch.

But after thinking for a long time, he found that there seemed to be nothing wrong with what he said.

At this moment, Stephen was full of panic and helplessness, and he seemed to have lost his direction and was at a loss.

After all, he was just an ordinary alpaca, and the people he had contacted before were limited to those partners in this game world who had developed self-awareness.

Although these partners have different personality traits - some are crazy, some are dull - at least their status has always remained relatively stable.

Crazy guys have always been like this, and those dull ones have always been stupid and stupid...

However, Stephen has never seen a situation like Notch suddenly becoming a different person.

Faced with this sudden change, Stephen was really helpless and had no idea how to help Notch get out of trouble.

But he naturally couldn't let Notch suffer like this. After thinking hard for a while, Stephen finally spoke.

"It's so painful to see you like this..."

"Didn't you say that players can leave this game world and return to their own world?"

"Why don't you leave and have a good rest?"

"You told me not to force myself to think when my mind is confused. A good sleep will make my thoughts much clearer..."

"You said before that I didn't come here to win. Since it's so painful, it's better not to force it."

"Don't worry, I will work hard on the next road alone to fulfill our agreement..."

"..."

Notch and Stephen have gone through a lot of hardships along the way.

They always keep in mind the mission of "traveling merchants" and keep moving forward.

Every trip is a baptism of the soul. They witness the attitudes and views of various camps on this world, and witness the unknown bitterness of various camps.

They carefully record what they see and hear along the way.

As a calm and objective observer, they silently watch this small world.

Stephen knew that he was eager to complete this legendary journey with Notch. However, seeing Notch suddenly become like this, he was extremely anxious.

Although he was anxious, Stephen was helpless and didn't know how to make Notch's condition slightly better.

It was out of this helplessness and worry that he made that suggestion.

At this moment, although Notch, who was on the verge of collapse, could not fully hear every word Stephen just said, he still understood the other party's intention.

"Leave..."

"No... I can't leave..."

"I can't escape anymore!"

Escape may give people a moment of peace temporarily, but it is by no means a long-term solution, and it is impossible to solve the problem fundamentally.

Notch has long been accustomed to escape, and this behavior is not the first time.

The pain he is suffering now is precisely because he cannot face the unfamiliar self in the past.

In the past, Notch always adopted an escape strategy when facing difficult problems and was unwilling to delve into them.

In the past, Notch avoided the game he made and loved without knowing it.

At that time, he had reasons to convince himself that his avoidance was only for himself, and his avoidance of his game did not hurt anyone.

But what he didn't know was thatIn the gaps in his memory, he may have chosen to erase everything in order to escape.

He hated himself like that, and could not accept himself like that. The source of his pain was because of his past self.

If Notch still decided to continue to escape after knowing the truth, then what was the difference between him and his past self?

After thinking about this, Notch slowly calmed down.

"I can't escape anymore..."

"I can't let the past happen again..."

"This is my sin... I must pay it back..."

What happened in the past was just Notch's guess. Although Notch felt that this guess was a sure thing, there were still many mysteries that had not been solved.

What happened in the past has already happened, and the former Notch has made a choice.

Even if Notch is unwilling to admit it or accept it, it has already happened and cannot be changed.

If he still keeps himself trapped in the quagmire of denying his past self and feeling ashamed of his past self, and cannot extricate himself for a long time, then he is really too selfish.

What he was struggling with, collapsing, and unable to accept was his past self.

This emotion should be digested by himself, and should not affect the progress of all things now.

As Notch said, this is his sin.

His past sins should be borne by himself, and should not affect the present.

If he is always trapped in this sin, unable to extricate himself, and consumes himself.

New sins will arise quietly.

Because the world will not stop because of his self-blame, sadness and sorrow.

The many problems in this world will not disappear because of his confession.

The problem still exists. The most important thing now is not to indulge in the past, but to try to find answers to solve the current problems.

Thinking of this, Notch slowly controlled the various emotions that could not help but overflow.

Then he looked at Stephen, who was at a loss.

"I'm fine..."

"I won't leave."

"Because I won't escape anymore."

Seeing Notch suddenly adjust his state, Stephen was even more confused.

"You..."

"Are you really okay?..."

Stephen just finished speaking when he looked up and met Notch's gaze.

Although Notch's eyes were a little red, Stephen could see his determination in his eyes.

Before Stephen could say anything, Notch walked slowly to the edge of the cliff and looked at the lush rainforest below.

"Our next stop is the rainforest, right?"
