Welcome to Real Escape [Unlimited]

Chapter 138 The Wheel of Cause and Effect

On the day we parted, it was raining lightly.

"Long Yuan, get in the car, I'm waiting for you alone."

Three or two staff members stood aside holding umbrellas, and in the middle were two brothers holding hands.The atmosphere was tense for a moment.

"Hurry up!?"

The woman hiding in the car suddenly rolled down the window, increased the volume and urged.The staff next to him began to attack directly and roughly, and the little boy shook anxiously, throwing the umbrella behind his head.

He held his brother's hand persistently, and the rain fell down, wet his face mixed with tears.

The nanny next to her was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to say, and the stalemate lasted for ten seconds.

The air was eerily quiet.

My brother was standing against the rain, and the drops of water blurred his vision.He bent down, with all kinds of anxiety hidden in his eyes.Although there are thousands of words to say to the person in front of him, but there are countless pairs of eyes around him, he can't move an inch for a while.

Such silence eventually provoked the woman's anger.She couldn't help being speechless, opened the door and got out of the car, frowning, looking at the two people with a slightly angry expression.

"Ye Qi, why did you hold Long Yuan's hand and not let him go?"

The little boy bit his lip, his eyes were red with pain.

His emotions were out of control, like a trapped animal with a trap hooked around his ankle.As long as someone approaches, he will violently resist like crazy.His elder brother was pulled by him, and his eyes became sour.

But they have no choice.

"Ye Qi, brother don't go, brother don't go, Ye Qi don't cry..."

He could only hold the little boy in his arms, hoping that the other party would understand his hint.But the little boy's emotions had completely collapsed, and he couldn't hear any words at this time.He hugged his brother's waist tightly like grabbing a life-saving straw, and his only wish was that he would not leave.

But this scene provoked the woman's anger.

"Okay, you won't let go, will you?" She grabbed the little boy's collar, "Then I'll hit you until you're willing to let go!"

The light rain turned into heavy rain, and the piercing water penetrated into the skin, accompanied by the sound of splashing slaps, making his eyes glow with pain.

"Stop hitting, stop hitting!"

Seeing that the blocking was ineffective, my brother also cried bitterly, "I'll go with you, don't beat him again!"

In an instant, the pouring rain rushed the two people who were going against each other across an insurmountable gap.

Before being sent to the truck, there was only a shrill cry from the rain——

"Is this the result of your persistence? Your kindness is meaningless!" His voice was crying, "If you leave, I will never forgive you for the rest of my life!!"

But the car still drove away.At the end of that day, only the little boy was left standing in the rain curtain crying heartbreakingly, as if he had shed all the tears in his life.

……

Thinking of this scene, the protagonist couldn't help laughing when he raised his eyes—to meet the man's gaze.

"I thought I would hate you to the coffin."

The man shook his head calmly.

"That day... I was not sent away by them."

The protagonist raised an eyebrow.

The man said in a deep voice, "The car drove for three kilometers. I pretended to urinate and went to the grass to relieve my hand, and escaped while they were not paying attention."

"I kept running, out of the mountains, onto the road... and finally found a driver who was willing to give me a ride."

"But what I didn't expect was that," the man's tone suddenly turned cold when he said this, "they actually found another child to replace me! But... by the time I found out, it was too late."

Hearing this, the protagonist's movements suddenly stopped.

The man gave him a deep look, "Do you know why they sent me away?"

"Because they're scared."

The protagonist grabbed the tablecloth and rudely interrupted the man: "Wait... what are you talking about?"

"They knew that the recording was still in my hands, so they couldn't wait to clear my things and wanted to send me out." The man clenched his palms tightly, "Because I'm getting closer and closer to the truth, and I'm just one step away..."

"Shut up! I'm not asking you this!" The protagonist was impatient with his nonsense, and stood up abruptly, "What the hell are you talking about!?"

The man paused before realizing what he meant.

His expression also softened at this moment.

"Sorry……"

The protagonist's hands trembled.

"I lied to you, I didn't break my head and become stupid." The man lowered his head, his voice hoarse, "I did this... because I had no choice."

"After making up my mind to escape, I drew up a lot of plans. I started to collect evidence and wanted to report this place to a higher management authority. It was just in time for someone to contact the dean, and I was almost able to get them Recording of transactions."

"But then... I was discovered."

"The situation at that time was very dangerous. When I was installing the recording pen, I was caught in person by the vice president. She threw the pen down from the second floor. When I went to fight for it, I didn't expect that she would push me down the stairs together... ..."

The man paused for a moment: "I did fall and hurt myself, but I was still conscious. I thought about it all night... and finally decided not to tell anyone about it."

Under the almost scrutinizing gaze of the protagonist, the man lowered his head and his eyes dimmed a bit.

"I don't want to involve you too."

"Oh... I see."

The protagonist hooked the tablecloth and laughed jokingly, "Do you want to be a hero by yourself again?"

The man was silent for a long time.

"I'm sorry." He took a deep breath and said, "If you know that the consequence of doing this is that you will become like this..."

The protagonist interrupted him impatiently: "Ah, I remembered again. After that, those people really seldom come to me. It turns out that they are jealous of you."

The man clenched his fists.

"I never gave up on collecting evidence. But my actions seemed to be under surveillance. As soon as I had some clues, there was news that I was going to be sent away..." He pursed his lips unwillingly, "At that time, my strength was too strong. Weak."

"Since I escaped, I have been looking for you, wanting to know your whereabouts. But I didn't expect... one day, this system came out."

"I also tried my best to escape from here at the beginning. But then, you appeared. No, it should be said...'The Lord God' appeared."

"The better I get to know you, the more familiar I feel." The man's voice gradually weakened, "In contrast, I feel more uneasy."

The protagonist looked at him coldly and didn't speak for a long time.

Then, he stretched out his finger and drew a circle on the table.

"Uneasy? Hey, do you feel narcissistically..." His tone slowed down, "I'm like the remaining kindness in my body. After you leave, the humanity in my heart will no longer exist gone?"

"..."

Seeing that the other party didn't speak, the protagonist smiled.

The man on the opposite side was silent for a while, then slowly said, "When I first saw you... I had an intuition."

"Oh?"

"Compared to other children in the orphanage, I am more worried about you." The man lowered his face, his expression could not be seen clearly under the shadow, "And now... what I was worried about happened."

"But I didn't expect...it was me who ignited everything."

At this time, the man raised his eyes to look at him again, his eyes were full of guilt:

"Ye Qi, what happened after you called the police?"

The protagonist put away his fingers: "It's not worth mentioning."

"...I just want to care about you."

"But I don't want to say it."

"..."

The air was once again filled with stiff stalemate.

The images of memories flowed like film reels again.The protagonist watched the familiar scenes fly by in front of his eyes blankly, and the surroundings were so quiet that only the memory film was talking.

"Brother, can we really get out from here?"

"It's definitely possible... that day will come soon."

……

Looking at those memories, his eyes finally gradually became sharper.

"You want to know what happened to me?"

The man turned his face seriously, waiting for him to speak.

"I escaped, but just went from one hell to another."

The protagonist smiled contemptuously, "Those people suppressed this matter with their overwhelming power, and only left me with the false name of 'trafficked child'."

"The orphanage is still the same orphanage, but I was sent to the intensive care unit by the police."

"So, I called the media and performed in front of them what they wanted to see. I thought I would be safe with the protection of the public, but I didn't expect..."

"Haha, in this day and age, what kind of public opinion cannot be manipulated? People only say what they want you to hear."

The protagonist smiled.

"Later, I created this system."

"My revenge plan is like a deep-buried fishing net. At first you thought you were just caught by the hook, and you wanted to struggle, but instead you became more and more addicted to it."

"It's a pity that at that time, my physical body was completely necrotic."

The man pursed his lips in surprise.

The protagonist didn't take it seriously, and touched the corner of the tablecloth with his fingers for a while: "I have changed several hosts, but now this woman has been with me for the longest time. Her body is very special, and she has survived the invasion of poisonous rats. Half a 'virus man' with a strong sense of survival... is the most suitable host for me."

"On the other hand, I sympathize with her. In some ways... I am actually quite similar to her."

Then, his fingers stopped moving.

"You asked me before what I wanted to do after I left the orphanage."

The protagonist raised his eyes and thought for a while.

"I didn't really think about that question back then. But now, I'll answer you like this."

"I want to have a good night's sleep on a big clean, soft and warm bed." The protagonist let go of his hands, leaned against the back of the chair and closed his eyes, "...brother, I'm already tired."

Such a picture caused a tingling pain in the bottom of his heart. The man lowered his head and clasped his hands tightly.

"After the matter is over... I am willing to take responsibility with you."

The protagonist just smiled slightly.

Then, he raised his hand and picked up the plastic knife on the table, "Am I in a dream or in a game?"

The man didn't speak, and he looked at the square cake on the table, "It's really fresh. I haven't eaten this kind of birthday cake in reality."

But even knowing it is illusory, the protagonist is still very interested.He blew out the candles, took the knife and cut the cake in half, and put them on two small plates.

Holding the plate, he spread a handful of cream with his fingers, put it in his mouth, and tasted it carefully.The man opposite also scooped up the cake with a small spoon and ate it bite by bite.

The man was full of thoughts, but seeing the protagonist eating with gusto, he couldn't help asking, "Do you still like it?"

The protagonist smiled and shook his head, "I can't taste it."

The man paused, and the protagonist raised his eyebrows as if he had seen what was in his heart, "This is my birthday party. Isn't it natural for the birthday party to be happy?"

After the two finished eating the cake, the protagonist wiped off the cream stains on his lips with his fingers.Finally raised his eyes, "Where is the process now?"

The man stared into his eyes for a long time before he took out a blank piece of paper and a pen from behind him.

"Make a birthday wish."

The protagonist took the paper and looked at it, and found that it was a list, and the first column was: "Birthday".

His eyes darkened, he picked up the pen, and the nib rested on the paper, but he didn't write for a while.

The man didn't urge him, and the two sat quietly facing each other, as if sharing their last time together.

The protagonist stared at the man in front of him, as if he wanted to remember the stubble on his chin.Finally seeing enough, he withdrew his gaze, raised the pen again, and stared at the white paper.

Finally asked him softly, "Do you think... I did something wrong?"

The man closed his eyes.

"Stop."

Three words, let the protagonist understand immediately.

"My birthday wish has come true." He put down his pen suddenly, "I have nothing more to say."

The man raised his eyes in surprise, only to see that the main god suddenly reached out and waved his hand in the air, and a window was opened on his fingertips, and the characters prompted "Please enter".

The man pursed his lips tightly, stared at him, and clenched his hands into fists in the shadows.Then, the protagonist began to draw traces of characters in the air with his fingers.Halfway through, he stopped suddenly and said, "Oh, yes, there is still a little more."

After the man finished speaking, his expression gradually became a little complicated.

After the code is entered, the system emits a sharp beep.At that moment, the two only saw a white light flying in front of them, and the scenes on the four walls began to fade slowly...

The scene is starting to fall apart.

When the entire secret room fell apart completely, the two had already stepped on a white board that could only accommodate their feet.It was like falling into a dark abyss, with unprovoked shadows spreading all around.Immediately afterwards, countless white dots gradually lit up in the line of sight, like starlight in the Milky Way.In the end, the approaching white light became more and more intense... Only then did the man realize that the white dots were disintegrated game scenes.

This system is shutting itself down.

In the last minute, the protagonist suddenly stood up with a chuckle, walked to the man's side, and said something softly into his ear...

In an instant, the man burst into tears.

In the dense starry sky like meteors, a piercing gunshot suddenly came from a certain white point—like a sharp knife, cutting through the silent night.

After the gunshot, everything was silent.

The author has something to say: it’s about to end, this book took me half a year, and I was basically dying when I wrote it later, but fortunately, I persisted
