With only the two of us left in the team, we couldn't ignore the fact that we would all be wiped out.

But Mirage still underestimated us.I believe we are only the vanguard of destroying Mirage.Because in the not-too-distant future, there will be more and more powerful people who will take what we have obtained so desperately and destroy it instead of us.

Until the end, I am willing to believe that all sacrifices are worthwhile.

——Shen Chiyu

After leaving Shen Chiyu's house, Chu Mie's cell phone vibrated desperately as if he had noticed something.

[Chu Mie, when are you coming back? 】

[Did you leave your friend's house?Where are you?Send me a location quickly. 】

Chu Mie frowned and looked at the phone, noticing that the sender was the two monster "parents" with plastic bags on their heads, so naturally he had no intention of replying to the text message.

The next second, the phone rang.

The caller was "Parents."

After Chu Mie pressed the hang up button, the phone was quiet for a second, and the next second the ringtone rang more completely and quickly.They didn't care about Chu Mie's hanging up behavior at all, and called as usual, as if Chu Mie would not give up unless he got through.

"call--"

Chu Mie exhaled a little irritably, and finally got through the phone: "Hello?"

"Chu Mie, are you finally willing to answer the phone?"

Hearing the father's voice on the other end of the phone, Chu Mie's irritable mood calmed down a little. Even though he knew it was a monster on the other end of the phone, he still tried his best to calmly say, "I'm on my way."

He looked up at his surroundings, and although he was still half way to go back, he still said, "I'll be home soon, I don't want to make a phone call on the way."

"Liar." The mother's voice interjected, with a horrifying coldness: "You obviously only walked halfway, how could you be home right away?"

Chu Mie felt a chill run down his spine.

He put down his phone and quickly scanned his surroundings, but he didn't see anything staring at him.

Chu Mi frowned and picked up the phone again, this time without concealing his hostility: "How do you know?"

"Come back soon."

The "mother" on the other end didn't respond to his question, and her gentle tone made people feel creepy: "Mom knows that you didn't invite anyone over. Although there are a lot of things prepared, you can still eat them all if you work hard." of."

Chu Mie thought of the "braised pork" still dripping with blood on the plate.

Chu Mie: "..."

"Understood." He said quickly, "Come back right away", and hung up the phone.

Chu Mie put the phone back into his pocket, stood where he was and sneered, and slowly walked towards "home" while rubbing the knife with his fingers.

When passing by the Red Ying Road, he took a careful look in that direction.However, the long street full of red lanterns has disappeared, and it has only become an insurmountable gray wall.

No wonder Shen Chiyu didn't let him pass.

Chu Mie stood at the intersection, looking thoughtfully at the gray wall at the end, and thought, "Do you want to go and have a look?"

"Buzz-"

The avatar on the phone sensed Chu Mie's thoughts, and immediately sent a message: [Don't go there, come back quickly. 】

【Otherwise, we will come to you in person. 】

It was the feeling of being watched everywhere again.

Chu Mie felt a sense of disgust and disgust from the bottom of his heart. Before he met Shen Huaiyun as an NPC, he felt this pervasive and creepy sense of voyeurism.His every move was monitored, and he was alert to the owner of this nameless gaze—the mirage consciousness.It wasn't until he met Shen Huaiyun that the feeling of being spied on and controlled got better.

Forget it.

He didn't want to make things too troublesome, he pressed his headache temple, and said in his heart: "It's not a day or two for Mirage to monitor me like this, I'd better concentrate on dealing with Shen Huaiyun and Shen Chiyu's affairs."

…………

When Chu Mie came near the house, he saw the door was wide open from a distance, and two people with plastic bags on their heads were guarding the door waiting for him to come back.

When seeing Chu Mie come back, the "parents" covered their faces with plastic bags rising and falling, as if they saw Chu Mie was extremely excited, even breathing quickly.

Chu Mie stood in front of them calmly: "I'm back."

He clearly smelled the stronger smell of blood from "parents".

"It's good to be back."

The man made a way out and said hoarsely, "Come in, Chu Mie."

"Yes, your dad and I have prepared a lot of delicious food." The woman smiled and reached out to grab Chu Mie's shoulder, but Chu Mie avoided it calmly.

Chu Mie looked down at the woman's blue skin and black nails under the transparent glue, and quickly looked away: "I'm full at my friend's house, so I want to go back to my room to rest."

"No!" The woman suddenly reached out and grabbed Chu Mie's wrist, and said angrily, "You must finish eating! Today is your birthday."

The wrist was whitened by the woman's pinch, and the sound of bones "creaking" could almost be heard.

Feeling the terrible force on his wrist, Chu Mie frantically took out the fruit knife with his other hand, then raised his eyes and stared at the woman coldly.

In the next second, Chu Mie flipped his wrist and broke free from the grip of "mother". Before she had time to make the next move to him, the fruit knife in her hand was smoothly sent to her neck.

This series of actions can be said to be done in one go.

"You...what do you want to do?" "Mother" stiffened and asked inexplicably, "Mom just wanted you to eat cake, why did you do this to me instead?"

"Because I'm not hungry." Chu Mie pushed her away forcefully, playing with a fruit knife and said, "I want to go back to my room."

"Okay then." She said in a lonely tone, "Mom won't bother you anymore."

"Father" stood by the side all the time, staring at Chu Mie, as if he was afraid to do anything.

Chu Mie ignored them, but turned around and went to the bathroom to wash up briefly.

"Whoa--"

Red water gushes out of the faucet continuously, forming a red "lake" in the sink of the sink.

Chu Mie stared expressionlessly at the faucet that kept bleeding "blood", and didn't want to put his hands on it to wash at all, so he could only stand in front of the mirror and wait for the water in the faucet to return to transparency.

The face reflected in the mirror was unfamiliar yet familiar.

This face is still very young, still looks like a youth.The facial features are not the kind of Nong Li's stunning beauty, it can only be said to be a kind of just right sense of coolness and distance.There is an inexplicable sense of sharpness between the eyebrows and eyes, and people's first reaction is to notice his bright light brown eyes, rather than the overall facial features.

It was Chu Mie's own face.

It wasn't Vincent, Min Yan...or the face of other identities arranged for him by Mirage.

The water in the faucet became transparent again.

Chu Mie took a deep breath, held his breath to avoid accidentally inhaling water, scooped up a handful of clean water with both hands, wet his face and hair, then supported the sink with both hands, looked up at himself in the mirror s face.

He will take it back.

Whether it's his own face and identity, or the teammates who were taken away, he will ask Mirage to get them back one by one.

…………

Chu Mie returned to his own room after tidying up.

The room is also almost exactly the same as the furnishings in his memory, and this sense of fit with memory makes him feel unrealistic.

"call."

Chu Mie inexplicably felt a sense of exhaustion.

He relaxed and lay on the bed, took out the "birthday gift" Shen Chiyu gave him, looked at the pen in his hand, and looked for its unusual features.

But no matter how he looked, he didn't see any difference.

It's just an old fountain pen with half of the red ink left.

Shen Chiyu would not give him useless things for nothing, let alone tell him to take them with him.

Chu Mie's white fingers lightly pinched the pen in his hand, the light above his head projected on the pen, slightly shimmering with silvery white metal light.

Can Shen Chiyu believe everything he says now?

Shen Chiyu may still have a little kindness towards him, but it may not be the case towards the players and Shen Huaiyun.You can trust her words, but it's better to have some reservations.

Chu Mie thought so, but felt extremely depressed and sad in his heart. He raised his hand to cover his eyes, allowing himself to enter the darkness briefly.He and Shen Chiyu were obviously friends and teammates who could be entrusted with life and death, but now he is always suspicious and wary of her, and even uses and threatens her in turn.

Is this what a friend should do?

He has no choice.

Because he didn't trust Mirage, he didn't believe that Mirage would really let Shen Chiyu, him and Shen Huaiyun go easily.

so tired.He thought, why not take a break?

Chu Mie put the hand holding the pen on his chest, and still covered his eyes with one hand, feeling that his consciousness became more and more blurred until he could no longer respond to anything outside.

…………

The surrounding area is endless darkness, only the red lanterns on both sides of the road hang high, like red fireflies neatly arranged in the darkness.

Chu Mie walked towards the other side of the darkness along the direction of the red firefly road. He didn't know where he would go, but he just walked forward instinctively.

The moment his foot stepped on a certain place, as if some special mechanism had been triggered, a white light suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

Chu Mie raised his hand to cover the light, and when he put his hand down again, he found himself standing under a streetlight.

The sky was still dark, but not as dark as before. The street lamps glowed with a warm yellow light, and moths fluttered around the lampshade above their heads.

"Ta-ta--"

Chu Mie heard light and rhythmic footsteps. Accompanied by the gentle evening wind, he saw Shen Chiyu walking through the darkness in the distance, stepping into the light step by step, and then stepping into the darkness again.

After passing through countless lights and darks, Shen Chiyu finally stood in front of him.

Chu Mie stared at Shen Chiyu with red eyes in surprise, she punched her shoulder lightly, and heard her crying voice in excitement: "Hey, our dear captain, I finally remembered Who am I?"

"Well, I'm sorry, Shen Chiyu." Chu Mie looked at Shen Chiyu with a sad expression, "It's so similar to reality, I almost forgot what I should do."

"Is everyone in the world over there?" Shen Chiyu calmed down his emotions a bit: "Is everything going well?" "

"Yeah." Chu Mie thought of his teammates who lived well in that world, and said a little lonely: "It would be great if it was true."

"No wonder you almost forgot that I exist over there." Shen Chiyu muttered with some dissatisfaction: "Whatever it is, I'm still left?"

As soon as these words came out, they all smiled wryly and said, "We are the only ones left now?"

"And—" Chu Mie bit his lip, concealing the confusion and despair in his eyes, and tried not to look so shaken: "Here is the instance where you are designated as the 'protagonist'."

No one can walk out of their copy alive.

Up to now, the chance of destroying the mirage is very slim. They can persist until now because of their hatred for the mirage and unwillingness to sacrifice their dead partners.

"Chu Mie, get ready?" Shen Chiyu suddenly said with firm eyes, "We can't always avoid this topic."

"Be prepared for us all to die." Shen Chiyu said with determination in his tone, and looked at him calmly: "Even if we are all dead, the news that we paid so much to get at the beginning must be preserved."

"I understand what you mean." Chu Mie closed his eyes and sighed deeply: "What we failed to achieve, we can only ask people in the future to do it."

"Aren't you afraid that no one will do it?" Shen Chiyu didn't want the atmosphere to be too heavy, so he deliberately smiled and said, "What if there are no fools like us who want to destroy the mirage?"

"There will be." After thinking about the worst outcome, Chu Mie finally felt relieved, but his eyes were a little red when he laughed: "After all, human beings are such a kind of existence, they always try to conquer those things that are almost impossible. existence, even at an extremely heavy price."

"That's why humans can create miracles."
