Meteors were like waterfalls, constantly streaking across the sky above the dungeon world.
In the "Is God" copy, in the cave.
In the corner was a pool of splattered blood. The thick blood was mixed with countless pieces of flesh, emitting a strong smell of blood.
That was Chai Feng's body.
The heavy rain in the dungeon world has completely stopped, and the surroundings have become silent.
The voice of the god, Tang Yi, also suddenly disappeared.
After Xia Jing crushed the tiny ant in his hand, the entire copy world fell silent.
Fei Shengxiao was the first to come to his senses. He said in surprise, "The option to exit the dungeon has popped up in my mind. What about you guys?"
Lu Chenfei: "Me too."
Feng Shi and Bian Ya: "Same."
You Ye, Li Mian and Song Yang all nodded.
This also means... Tang Yi is completely dead.
Everyone walked over to Xia Jing.
Looking at the ant corpse in Xia Jing's hand, Fei Shengxiao exclaimed, "The main monster in this dungeon is actually a small ant? I really didn't expect this!"
You Ye pondered, "It seems logical that the ants are the masters of the ant tunnel. But this particular ant is a bit slow. Before dark yesterday, I saw a large number of ants 'moving', yet it was still crawling in the tunnel until midnight?"
Shadows only appear at night.
If this main monster ant had not been crawling on the wall of the corridor in the middle of the night and was discovered by Tang Yi with a flashlight, Tang Yi would naturally have had no chance to seize the divine power unknowingly.
Bian Ya said, "It's impossible for the dungeon to allow the main monster to leave the dungeon map without permission. Its identity means it will be the slowest crawling ant."
Fei Shengxiao wondered again, "How big can a shadow of such a small ant be?"
Song Yang said, "Although its body is small, it is a god in the dungeon after all. Its godhead is huge, so its shadow is naturally huge."
The huge shadow and the tiny body are connected together.
It was normal that Tang Yi only saw the shadow but didn't find the real body.
He seized the divine nature, and the main monster's body crawled for a long time in the dark night, climbed onto the head of the "most obedient" believer, and perched on this hat.
At that time, Tang Yi would never have thought that his life and death would be decided by this tiny ant.
At this moment, the copy was completed and Tang Yi was dead.
The meteor shower outside the copy world seems to be coming to an end.
——The game lobby should have almost collapsed, and the players in the lobby should have all returned to the real world.
They are the only ones left.
After they exit this copy, Smiley City will completely disappear from the world.
Feng Shi suddenly thought of something and quickly said, "By the way, Xia Jing, how can you leave here?"
It was only at this time that they had the energy to discuss this issue.
After they exited the copy this time, they probably went straight back to the real world, but what about Xia Jing?
Song Yang also looked down at Xia Jing. He also wanted to know the answer to this question.
He thought of something else and frowned, "Come to think of it, is your current body still a tool body?"
"Not anymore," Xia Jing raised his eyebrows and smiled, "When I disintegrated Tang Yi's power, my tool body exploded in the void along with it."
Others: "?!!!"
Song Yang's expression tensed.
——What is Xia Jing's current body like? !
Xia Jing seemed to find it very amusing to see how nervous they were.
After teasing them, he said, "When I dealt with Jiang Ying, I converted some of his power for my own use and constructed a full-strength body. Now that I'm dealing with Tang Yi, I'll naturally leave some of his power for conversion."
"So," the young man spread his hands and smiled with narrowed eyes, "now I have regained my pure power."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
I see...
After breathing a sigh of relief, they swallowed secretly.
This young man... is simply beyond belief.
"As for how I'm going to get back to the real world," Xia Jing smiled after noticing Song Yang's concerned look, "When Tang Yi's power exploded, I saw his memories."
Xia Jing said with interest, "It turns out that as long as one becomes the master of a certain power, they can decide whether this power can manifest in the real world. Tang Yi is much more skilled in using supernatural powers than Jiang Ying, so he was able to discover this."
Xia Jing glimpsed his memory and was able to return to the real world by following his instructions.
Song Yang finally relaxed his body completely.
He hugged Xia Jing tightly.
Lu Chenfei was shocked and said, "So you two haven't figured out these problems until now? You are really too bold, aren't you afraid that at the end of the plan, you will find that things are different from what you imagined and it will be completely overturned?"
He had long known that there were many things he could not tell these two people because the mysterious man had not been resolved.
But he always thought that these two people at least knew what was going on.
As a result, they didn't even figure out how Xia Jing was going to return to the real world until the crucial moment of the explosion?
Hearing Lu Chenfei's words, Song Yang's voice sank: "How could I not be afraid?"
In fact, Xia Jing had never discussed with him explicitly how to finally resolve the issue of Tang Yi and how Xia Jing would leave Smiley City.
As Xia Jing once said, many problems may only be explored and solved in the process of continuous progress.
Of course, Song Yang could probably guess some of Xia Jing's thoughts.
If they want to kill the mysterious man, it is unlikely that they will succeed by killing him directly. They may have to use a method similar to the one Xia Jing used to deal with Jiang Ying.
But they couldn't be sure until that moment. Even if they were sure, this matter would ultimately have to be accomplished by Xia Jing, because Tang Yi's only target was Xia Jing, and only Xia Jing could be the most dangerous bait to lure Tang Yi into the pit.
As for how to leave Smiley City, this is probably a problem they can only study after they deal with Tang Yi.
From the beginning to the end, Xia Jing didn't want to make him worry, didn't want him to stop him, so he chose not to say anything.
Song Yang finally chose to believe Xia Jing and work together with him, so he suppressed all his chaotic emotions in his heart.
Of course, he was prepared to do whatever it took if anything happened.
This is an operation that is destined to be full of uncertainties.
Song Yang understood very well that only if he and they fully supported and cooperated with this young man could they achieve success together.
Thankfully, they got a happy ending.
They can go home.
Seeing his expression, Xia Jing jokingly said, "If I really can't leave here, what are you going to do?"
Song Yang held his hand and said, "No big deal. Let Feng Shi and the others exit the dungeon and go back to tell my parents. I will stay in this dungeon until I can figure out a way for you to leave with me."
Xia Jing's smile widened: "Doctor Song is really persistent."
Song Yang pulled him closer, dissatisfied with Xia Jing's teasing: "So what?"
Song Yang is not the kind of person who has a strong need for love and cannot live without love.
For him, love is only necessary when it is sincere and serious enough.
Xia Jing is his first love, and Song Yang only wants to stay with this person for the rest of his life, so of course he will be persistent.
It's not just obsession, it's possessiveness, it's protectiveness—
He would never let Xia Jing die alone.
When Xia Jing was swallowed by Tang Yi, Song Yang was already ready to induce Tang Yi to swallow him as well and go find Xia Jing. He was determined to bring this young man back no matter what.
He would never let Xia Jing be left alone in this copy world.
If they couldn't find a way out of here, then he would stay here until they found a way.
Lu Chenfei on the side hissed and muttered, "Look at this disgusting look", Fei Shengxiao and Li Mian covered their lips and chuckled.
Bian Ya suddenly became curious and asked, "Xia Jing, do you regret helping Jiang Ying?"
If Xia Jing had never come into contact with Jiang Ying, no matter what Jiang Ying's situation was later, or whether his superpowers exploded, perhaps Xia Jing would no longer have anything to do with Shadow City.
Later, he naturally would not have been entangled in this vast and strange world for so long in his inhuman body.
Hearing this question, Xia Jing thought for a moment and chuckled, "Regret doesn't exist."
Everyone looked at him.
"I don't think I was helping him at the time. I was just pleasing myself."
"It's true that what happened after I met him was interesting to me. It was a wonderful time."
Is the copy game interesting and exciting?
Lu Chenfei and the others trembled violently.
This guy is worthy of being called a human being.
"Of course, it's true that the game started to get boring."
"But my mother taught me since I was a child," Xia Jing blinked and said seriously, "If you want to play, you might end up killing yourself. So later, no matter what 'game' I played, I was prepared to face any consequences."
Everyone: Is there a possibility that your mother educated you this way in order to make you stop "playing"? !
The corners of their mouths twitched violently.
After hearing this, Song Yang was speechless for a while, then he covered his forehead and laughed softly.
This is the summer scene.
Song Yang could infer from Xia Jing's few words that he must have been raised by his mother alone since childhood.
When Xia Jing met Jiang Ying, her mother should have passed away.
If his mother was still alive at that time, Xia Jing might not have allowed himself to go down the crazy, bold and wanton path of dying together with Jiang Ying.
After all, this young man was not the type to completely disregard the feelings of the people he loved.
He may be a wild horse, but he was born with a bridle.
The person holding the reins used to be his mother.
The most important woman in Xia Jing's life must have never wanted to restrict Xia Jing's freedom.
Perhaps she just hoped that Xia Jing could live a peaceful life while maintaining her own happiness.
And when they return to the real world...
Song Yang held Xia Jing's hand tightly.
This time, it is up to him to protect this young man.
He would no longer let this young man rush headfirst towards a dangerous cliff. Together they could walk towards...
As if feeling his gaze, Xia Jing turned her head and stared at him with her beautiful phoenix eyes.
Song Yang raised the corners of his lips.
Let's move towards an unknown and interesting future together, accompanying each other and holding hands with each other.
"Okay," Lu Chenfei took a deep breath, "In that case, it's almost time for us to leave here."
You Ye jokingly said, "Your leg and the cracks on your body should be fine once you leave the dungeon."
"..." Lu Chenfei, "If it doesn't get better, I'll take a taxi to the hospital right away with this broken leg."
Bian Ya joked: "The taxi driver and the doctor will be scared to death by you."
Feng Shi also joked: "It will be in the newspaper tonight."
Li Mian and Fei Shengxiao laughed.
Song Yang released the golden retriever that had also awakened long ago from the space bag he had been carrying with him.
Tuanzi was finally free. He shook his head, panted, and looked at them with sparkling eyes.
Fei Shengxiao squatted down in surprise and stroked the dog's head wildly.
When the dumpling shattered, Xia Jing took its consciousness back into his body.
When he woke up in Song Yang's safety bag, he also returned Tuanzi's consciousness to this new body.
At this moment, the eight people looked at each other, and the golden retriever squatted in the middle of them.
This journey is full of thrills and ups and downs.
But fortunately, they made it to the end together.
Song Yang held Xia Jing's hand and said with a smile: "Then, see you when we return to the real world."
"—See you when we return to the real world."
The moment they chose to exit the copy in their conscious world, the cave ceiling began to collapse and they saw the sky.
The morning light after the rain spreads all over the world.
*
Xia Jing is a weirdo.
Anyone who knows him will feel so.
Xia Jing himself would not deny it.
His strangeness is rooted deep in his soul.
Just like when he lost his memory, he still remembered that his name was Xia Jing.
No matter what happened to him or how old he grew, this strangeness would never disappear from his body.
Or maybe, we are all equally weird.
As Jiang Ying said, all humans are monsters.
But this kind of "monster" is not the "monster" defined by Jiang Ying.
Evil people are twisted monsters, sinister people are dark monsters, and people who say one thing in public and do another behind the scenes are hypocritical monsters.
Similarly, people who are extremely smart are monsters, people who have unique habits but are not ashamed to admit them are monsters, people who are willing to go through fire and water for their friends are monsters, and people who try hard to be brave until they can break through their own limits are monsters.
For some people in this world, the "weird" in "monster" may be the "weird" in being unique.
In the future, this group of people will continue to walk in this world with their unique attitude.
…
It was seven o'clock on an ordinary Tuesday morning.
Bright sunshine, noisy world, people coming and going, a colorful world.
In Song Yang's private apartment, by the window.
The golden retriever wagged its tail wildly.
Xia Jing looked out the window at everything he hadn't seen for a long time, held the hand of the person next to him, and chuckled, "Please give me your guidance in the future, Doctor Song."
Song Yang tightened his fingers, interlocked them, and said with a smile, "Please give me your guidance in the future, Boss Xia."
